Nice personnel with lots of knowledge that they happily share and also good wildlife spotters.
The tour was a highlight from beginning to end. This was due to Martin and Fredrik of the company, the appropriate vehicle, Landcruiser, the good hotels with wi-fi and the possibility to see many animals although it was a bit off-season in Maasai Mara.
The trip was good value for money so in total we can really recommend the tour.

A priceless experience!
Immediately upon getting picked up by Martin at our hotel, the experience was easy, comfortable and as Martin would say “Hakuna Matata”. We did the 3 day game drive to Masai Mara from Nairobi and it far exceeded my expectations and a lot of that was due to Martin himself. At all times he was attentive to detail, listened and made sure we were comfortable and well cared for. As other reviewers noted, Martin knows how to spot the animals (trust me, if you have never been on a Safari it is an adjustment for newbies to spot a lot of animals). He also went above and beyond to make sure we saw lions on a day when lions seemed to be in hiding for everyone; staying out 11 hours instead of the normal 8. You book Earthwings for the level of care, personalized consideration and knowledge Martin provides; at many times we witnessed Martin advising and pointing other guides to the correct locations for animal sightings. This is what you want in a guide, someone who makes sure they provide the utmost service and hospitality for their clients. Thank you Martin for answering all our questions, sharing meals with us and finding all the great petrol restroom breaks! You really made our trip!

Trip of a lifetime with the best team!
It is so hard to put into words how incredible this trip has been! We expected to have a great time, but our expectations were far surpassed.
We are 2 friends who came from the UK on a last minute trip to Kenya. It has been so easy to organise our safari experience through Earthwings, even though it was very last minute! Communication was easy and all our queries were answered.
This has truly been a trip of a lifetime. We enjoyed ourselves from the beginning of the journey right up until the end. Lake Naivasha (an extra part of the trip) was incredible- we saw hippos, different birds and giraffes grazing on crescent island.
Lake Nakuru was amazing! The hotel was so beautiful, the food was DELICIOUS, and the game drives were spectacular. The main highlights were seeing white rhinos a few feet away, and herds of zebras having their morning drink.
Last but not least- the Masai Mara. Frederick and Martin went above and beyond to make our experience the best we could have hoped for. Not only did we see the big 5, we saw amazing scenes of predators feeding, families playing and giraffes fighting. Martin and Frederick are very knowledgable and made our game drives so entertaining.
The hotels (Sarova) were beautiful, with delicious food and the kindest, most friendly people you’ll ever meet.
I could not recommend this team more- they’ve given us so many incredible memories, and have been so accommodating. We are so sad to be ending our journey, and are super grateful to Martin and Frederick for all the laughs, the stories and the animals!
Thank you!!

Great expertise and even better service
Amazing safari trip across Lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli, spending a total of 6 night and 7 days.
Marteen’s itinerary was well planned and thoughtful, delivering well above expectation of service and knowledge of safari wildlife.
He not only ensured encounters of our wildlife wish-list, but would try to revisit later on during the day to either further see the animal’s living habit or to catch the animal at a less crowded time which really enhanced the entire experience.
I would highly recommend his service to anyone with interest in visiting Kenya, allowing for full customisability, Marteen will guarantee you make get the most out of value and duration.
10 Stars! Above and beyond Expectations
Where to begin!
An absolutely incredible experience! Our trip to Kenya exceeded our expectations, and this was all thanks to Martin
Martin was an absolute Joy our entire trip, starting from the moment we submitted our inquiry, he was quick to respond with the perfect tailor made 7-day itinerary.
Thanks to Martin, by day 3 we had already seen everything anyone ever wishes to see in a safari , including the big 5 and much much much more! Martin ALWAYS went above and beyond to ensure we always had the best views and shots of the Animals. his immense knowledge of the wildlife meant he was able to time everything out perfect to get us the best views, this topped off the whole experience.
Not only was Martin the best safari guide, he went out of his way to provide us with the best service and always took the best care of us, he always ensured we were comfortable and was patient, incredibly kind and generous with us and I couldn’t ever recommend anyone else for a safari trip!
What an incredible experience with earthwings from start to finish. Thank you Martin for making it all possible.

excellent. great organisation tailored for our requests
My partner and I had absolutely the best time during our Safari. Martin had organised a perfect itinerary according to our request (we added a hike on Mt.Longnot) and can absolutely tailor your experience based to your needs and budget. Another reason why you should choose them is because they offer the most competitive prices for a private tour including 4/5 stars lodges and 4WD jeep, we couldn’t be more satisfied. Martin and Fred are excellent drivers, very knowledgeable of the territory and were open to any request we needed along the way. The hotel options were beautiful and the food always excellent. During our Safari both Martin and Fred were committed in spotting plenty of animals and made sure they did their best for us to enjoy the experience all the way through. Thank you so much again guys, and hopefully see you soon!

BULL'S-EYE!!
BEYOND EXPECTATIONS.
Our trip to Kenya was an impulsive decision made by me and my husband. We went through many packages but happened to choose Martin's/Earthwing's tour package of 5 days safari (Also, after reading such great reviews). And I can say we really hit a bullseye!!
Trust him with your journey, and he will make sure you get to experience the best of Safari. He is amazing with his instincts and judgments and is very quick with his decision which is really important for Safari. We not only saw the BIG FIVE but also witnessed the great migration and much more wildlife. Martins's timing was perfect; he is really blessed with this!!! The stay he booked us with was equally fabulous. He has been around like a friend who looked out for us throughout our trip.
Every day was full of surprises. It has been quite an overwhelming and mind-blowing experience.
Martin is a very genuine, sweet, humble, and fun person. I wouldn't recommend anyone else!
Thanks a lot, Martin/Earthwing Tours, for making this a beautiful adventure for us.

Thanks to Martin and Fida for a great 6 day safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli and Taita!
Martin and Fide - THANK YOU for a wonderful safari !!!!! You are best!!!
The safari with Martin and Fide exceeded all our expectations.
We traveled with friends (2 couples) and Martin and Fide showed us all the amazing wildlife of Kenya.
Thanks to them, we not only saw the big five animals, but also many, many others.
We were on safari until they found what we wanted to see.
Not a single animal could hide from their keen eyes.
My friends and I VERY recommend this company for traveling in Africa.
Martin and Fide - THANKS for a wonderful stay !!!!!!!
