Amboseli, West and East Tsavo safari
5/5

This is a guy who loves his job, is very knowledgeable and totally looks after his clients.
We did a 4 night/5 day safari then a drop off at a Diani beach hotel - Amboseli, West and East Tsavo -
family of 5 adults
We arranged our trip to Kenya ourselves, choosing to book direct with a local guide rather than use a travel agent.
For our first night we booked an apartment close to the airport, as our safari was starting early the following morning. When we arrived at the apartment Samuel our safari guide had already contacted the owner to confirm our pick up time in the morning.
We started our tour driving to Amboseli, with a game drive on route to our first safari lodge. We stayed in that area 2 nights. Samuel made sure we had an amazing time spotting many animals and birds, the water levels were still quite high and some roads were flooded and closed. Samuel’s knowledge of the parks was amazing, he also had a good eye for spotting animals from a distance. At one point another safari jeep had got stuck, Samuel got his tow ropes to assist also giving advice on how to drive out of the situation.
We also visited Tsavo West, this area is a lot different, it was very interesting finding out about the geology of the area, especially the Shetani lava fields, again Samuel was very knowledgeable.
Our next stop was Tsavo East, here we saw the ‘red’ elephants that Samuel had told us about and also cheetahs, then the icing on the cake was lions with lion cubs about 3 weeks old.
Finally we had the last morning game drive then drove to Diani Beach. Samuel even gave us a mini tour of Mombasa on the way, stopping off to take photos.
On arriving at our hotel in Diani Beach Samuel gave us his contact number in case we needed anything - he was on his way back home to Nairobi that evening to see his family before starting a new safari.
Oh boy did we need him again - my son and girlfriend had left their passports and money in the safe in Tsavo East. Samuel contacted the hotel to see if any safari guides were coming down to Diani and could drop them off. He said leave it with him. The following evening Samuel turned up at our beach hotel with passports and money in hand. No one had been coming as far as Diani, only as far as Mombasa, so instead of going home to his family he stayed in Mombasa to personally bring the passports and money to us. For this I can not thank him enough.

The Vacation Of A Life Time!!!!
5/5

When we family of 5 ( 3 adults and 2 kids) were planning the Kenya jungle safari, a friend of mine recommended Samuel , who had been their tour guide.  Everything was perfect about the safari which included the accommodation ,  the hospitalities of the hotels and I would have to say it was The Vacation of a life time !!!!
It would not be possible to say enough about Samuel  [our guide's] qualities in terms of knowledge of Kenya and ability to find animals and birds  during the safari in Masai Mara. He was also entertaining, fun, engaging with my kids and extremely accommodating.
Five star plus for Samuel as an extremely competent driver,  one of the best I've experienced. Everything used to be on time as indicated by him.In addition, he has wide experience and knowledge in other areas, a constant source of conversation, information and pleasure. . He has great attention to detail to make sure that he could provide anything we might need. 
If anyone’s planning Kenya, I would highly recommend Samuel  and the tour we took and would love to take  another in the future - Thank you so very much Samuel  for having arranged the magnificent trip we took!!

Memorable safari experience
5/5

I had the requirement for a short safari in Nairobi park due to limited time. Samuel gave me a excellent tour, having great knowledge about the park and wildlife. He showed all highlights and he trated the park with respect, which gave me the feeling having made the right choice with Samuel as operator. I enjoyed this very much and have plans to come again.

Awesome, do not miss the opportunity of being led by a real expert team
5/5

I’ve been to Kenya several times and have seen many of the beauties the country has to offer. But this tima it was totally different; I was with a leading team that knew every corner if the park. The organization was outstanding, and the whole experience difficult to match. Highly recommendable

Excellent Guide
5/5

Sammie came highly recommended. He picked me up from the airport, and we went on a morning trip through the Nairobi National Park. He is very knowledgeable about all the animals, as well as the park. Served as a great introduction to Kenya. An invaluable asset on any safari.
