Well organised, attentive and customer focused.
Thoroughly recommend Earthwings tours. They are the real deal. Martin was a delight to communicate with ahead of our trip. Polite and attentive and highly responsive. Federick, our guide, was absolutely lovely. Full of knowledge and good humour, he took us on daily adventures to witness the incredible beauty of Lake Nakuru and the Masai Mara. His love of the land is infectious! We saw the Big 5 and many more beautiful animals and birds. Good value for money, we stayed in excellent camping lodges where the attention to guests was exceptional. Flamingo Hill and Zebra Plains River Camp were outstanding in their welcome and their comfort, and the staff were exemplary. Thank you to everyone we met in Kenya who made our trip so special.

Amazing experience with Earthwings Tours and Safari
First of all, communication since day 1 was prompt and transparent. All questions were answered which made it easy for us to decide which tour was best suited for my family. The campsites/lodge affiliated were superb and family friendly. The Safari itself was action-packed, best family adventure by far and game drive guide Peter made sure we experienced the best of it and that we see everything!all big 5 animals ticked.. And many more! He was very knowledgeable of all wild life, very informative. Super patient with answering all of our questions. Thank you! And to Martin, who treated us like family member in his home country. We felt very well looked after. Thank you. I cannot recommend Earthwings enough to experience once in a lifetime African Safari.

Earthwings Tours and Safari was WONDERFUL
Martin was wonderful. He was polite, friendly and took very great care of me. He devised a custom plan as per my dates and made sure I face no problems at all. Simon was knowledgable and understood what we wanted to see in Mara. Overall, Earthwings made my trip worthwhile and I would choose them all over again.

At Earthwings, everyone is reliable and keen to meet and exceed your expectations.
My experience with Earthwings was superb. Simon, my guide, was always punctual, reliable, and savannah-savvy. He also has a dab hand for photography so he's able to secure the best spot for you to make excellent pictures. Not just that. Any question you shoot him with, he has an answer for you. Animals, geography, geology, and even history (so many stories where Kenya's past is intertwined with the Italian one).

A safari that exceeded expectations every day
Booking a safari through Martin at Earthwings was efficient, and he was incredibly accommodating and responsive. The safari exceeded all expectations, as he worked to get us in the right spot for the best viewing every single time, while also respecting other tours and the animals themselves. We managed to see big cats every single day of the trip, eating prey and hunting. Martin was a sheer professional from his first email to dropping me at the airport with plenty of time to spare. I will absolutely be recommending Earthwings to my friends and family for their future safaris.

Successful Safari Experience !!
When visiting a country you haven't been before, it can be difficult to know who you can trust and who will deliver the best safari experience.
For us Earthwings Tours (Martin) ticked both boxes. From Day 1 of planning, we spoke to Martin over Whatsapp and it felt so easy to plan the trip with him. We had three different trips booked with him, and in all three occasions, there was no room for any disappointment.
We saw the Big 5 animals on our first day! It's not common for this to happen but Martin's determination to search for them made us confident, that our trip is in the right hands. He was also full of knowledge and very friendly.
We wanted to also see baby lions and guess what, that happened too! The whole safari experience was a complete success. I would not hesitate to recommend him.

A 10-Day Safari to Remember!
I arranged our safari directly with Martin, as it was important to me that we supported a local individual in Kenya rather than a giant corporate holiday firm.
Martin was incredible from the very initial enquiry and throughout our tour. He was great at communicating and helped me to create a bespoke 10-day tour visiting multiple places including Samburu National Reserve, Ol Pejeta Conservancy, Lake Nakuru National Park, Masai Mara National Reserve, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli National Park. He allowed me to ask a billion questions about the activities we could include (boat ride, walking safari, chimpanzee sanctuary, feeding Baraka the Black Rhino at a Rhino sanctuary and a masai village visit), change the accommodation to ones I’d picked personally and managed to help me keep a balloon ride and champagne breakfast in the Masai Mara a secret from my other half.
Martin’s knowledge of the animals is brilliant, and he happily answered all my questions about the animals, parks, local culture and country. We had Martin and the Land Cruiser to ourselves the entire time and Martin made sure we had plenty of time gazing at the animals we enjoyed most, never rushing us on to go elsewhere. We had a great giggle with Martin the entire time.
Martin works incredibly hard, he is very passionate about what he does, and this is very clear in his approach to work.
My advice to Brits – don’t feel you need to get a package deal, book your flights direct, get a hotel near the airport with a shuttle service and Martin will be there, ready and waiting to pick you up the following morning.
To Martin – thank you again for the most incredible holiday we’ve ever had.

Incredible animal experience, super guide, very professional, great price for solo custom tour
One of the best trips I have ever been on! As a solo female I felt safe all the time. Martin was reliable and created a custom tour for me that was perfect! He helped me to see so many big cats, the big five and the ugly five. He shared so much about Kenya and its culture and he even helped me organise the last part of my trip in Nairobi. Couldn’t recommend him enough!! Very reasonably priced too. Had an amazing trip
