Excellent experience as a solo (young woman) traveler with FEDE tours
Note:
Reviewed copied over from tripadvisor for simplicity.
However, I used this website (Safaribookings) in my search for tour companies and am very happy with how things turned out!
Thanks to the Safaribookings' team for managing a helpful, informative and reputable website.
Review:
Since childhood, visiting Masai Mara had been a dream of mine. I had the opportunity to make that dream come true at the end of a work trip in June 2022. I was going to have to travel alone, as a young woman, which was somewhat worrying for me at the beginning.
I chose FEDE tours among the many other tour companies. Arrangements for the trip were made with the help of Martin, who was reassuring and answered all of my questions.
On the day when I was set to begin my safari, I was picked up by Ephantus. The moment he greeted me with a smile and a handshake I knew I was in good hands. I am happy to report that Ephantus is a great driver (by western standards), knows a lot about the nature and culture in Kenya, and is very accommodating (e.g. if you are a quite person like me, he won't force you into small talk, but will also happily engage in conversation if you are up for it). He was an excellent guide!
Given the short amount of time we had for the safari (2 nights in Masai Mara), we were able to see a lot of species, really all the ones I could have hoped to see and more. Masai Mara is stunning; although, I was surprised to see this many tourist vehicles congregating around interesting animals sightings. I was very sad to leave the park, but am truly grateful to have had this unforgettable experience.
The Mara Simba Lodge was also good, beautiful setting and the food was good. Given some of the more negative lodge reviews (of Mara Simba Lodge and other lodges often used by FEDE tours), while a minority, I am not sure what kind of level of luxury some people expect given the fairly wild setting, but they clearly aren't appreciating the natural beauty enough if they are focusing on such things.
On the last day, before my flight out of Kenya (at midnight), Martin took me out to Nairobi National Park, which isn't as beautiful or pristine as Masai Mara, but also offered very good sightings of animals, including rhinos, which you are not likely to see in the Mara. We also went to the Giraffe Center and took a short drive around downtown Nairobi (which was interesting, but may have been the least safe I felt on the trip).
Many thanks to the whole team (I also briefly met Frederick) for the high-quality tours they provide and positive attitude!!!

Responsive and caretaking. Happy to fulfill customers requests.
We chose Fede to arrange our "made to order" safari experience. Was not easy to trust someone relying on Internet knowledge, but now when the trip is over I am sure it was the right choice. During entire journey we felt safe, well hosted and guided with excellence. Fede managed to make our trip a really great and unforgettable experience. Martin was very helpful to advise us how to make best use of our time and money. He did a great job while arranging and guiding Safari. I would highly recommend his service. Fantastic job!

Amazing experience with Fede Tours
I recently had the pleasure of embarking on a one-week trip to Masai Maara and Nakuru Reserve organized by Fede Tour and Logistics, and it was nothing short of extraordinary! From start to finish, Fede Tour and Logistics demonstrated their exceptional expertise in trip planning and execution. The itinerary was thoughtfully crafted, ensuring we experienced the best of both destinations while maximizing our time and minimizing travel logistics. The top-notch accommodations offered a comfortable and immersive stay amidst breathtaking natural surroundings.
Every day held a new adventure and a wealth of incredible wildlife encounters. Our knowledgeable guide, Fredicrk, from Fede Tour and Logistics, was an expert in spotting elusive creatures, passionate about conserving the environment and educating us about the local ecosystems. He effortlessly shared his wealth of knowledge, making each game drive an educational and awe-inspiring experience. Whether we were witnessing the Big Five in Masai Maara or marvelling at the abundant birdlife in Nakuru Reserve, Fredrick's attention to detail and care ensured that we were in the right place at the right time for unforgettable wildlife sightings. I highly recommend Fede Tour and Logistics for their exceptional service, attention to detail, and commitment to creating a remarkable and immersive safari experience.

Quick thinkers, creative, informative and very accommodative.
My family nick named them [the twins] because they are ever together, make decisions together.
Really knowledgeable on what kids below 15 needs from a safari, if you have kids, then get them, there is nothing fulfilling than seeing your family say [it was worth the cost] I have been to safaris, been to places and never had I written a review. This was my first. If it's not fede tours and logistics, then I would rather postpone .

From the beginning to the end, they were reliable, helpful and did the best of every situation!
The communication was always very quick and helpful. The tour operators organised the best possible trip including all our wishes. John, our guide during 5 days, was super reliable, fun and always had an immense wisedom of the nature, animals and culture, which made this trip absolutely unforgettable. The tour included everything (and more) of what we had expected and the value for money is EXCELLENT! 5/5 would recommend to plan your trip with Fede Tours and specifically to ask for John as your guide! :)

Awesome Experience
My daughter and I had an astoundingly wonderful safari experience with Martin Vigambo of Fede Tours and Logistics.
When exploring possible destinations and safari options for a 2020 trip, Martin very quickly responded to my online questions with helpful specifics about his safari recommendations, and clear options and cost levels from which to choose. In our first phone call, he said “I will be your driver and guide.” This level of personal service from the start led me to choose Fede Tours, and his personal commitment was evident throughout 3 years of delay (my choice) due to COVID, and through the entire safari experience.
Martin is very knowledgeable about the wildlife, terrain, history and culture of Kenya, and shares facts and stories at the perfect moment to enhance the experience of witnessing animals in the wild. He is a wise and careful driver, and I always felt safe in his vehicle, even in very rough terrain. His passion for the beauty and magic of his country is evident in his genuine joy in sharing.
I never dreamed we would see so many animals and such exciting moments (for example, both cheetahs and lions hunting and killing wildebeest). We saw every animal we’d hoped to see, and many more. Martin knew where to go and how to position our vehicle to see wildlife in action, while always respecting the animals’ needs for space. He took us to three parks (Samburu, Lake Nokuru and Maasai Mara), and knew them very well. He told detailed stories about individual animals and their specific family histories.
Martin selected very comfortable accommodations for us which surpassed our expectations. We particularly loved the personalized services at two smaller camps: Ashnil Camp at Samburu Park and Mtito Safari Camp at Maasai Mara. At both of these, the level of personalized attention and care was superb. One example: after a tour of the organic garden at Mtito, our dinner that evening featured the vegetables we said we most liked
A private safari offers an opportunity to learn about one’s guide as well as wildlife. When asked, Martin was open about the rich human culture of Kenya as well as his own life experiences. He was likewise interested in ours, while always careful to respect our privacy and comfort. We left Kenya with a dear friend in Martin.
Martin met our every request with ease, and a fun and playful spirit. From start to finish, he was true to his word and went above and beyond to make our experience the best it could possibly be. I cannot recommend Fede Tours and Martin Vigambo more highly.

Amazing Safari experience to the Masai Mara!
We stayed in the Masai Mara for three days with our guide Martin, who was very nice and very knowledgeable on all the animals and really made an effort for us to see the Big 5! He was very considerate and a safe driver, we would 100% recommend him. Staying at Ilkeliani Camp was also very comfortable and nice, a relatively high standard for the price. The Masai Mara is absolutely beautiful and the Safari was so worth it, we would definitely recommend it and would do it again any time!
