Great Service. Thank You.
5/5

With a day to spend in Kenya...on New Year’s Day at that...I was hoping to enjoy they beginning of a new year at the Nairobi National Park and Giraffe Centre. Huge thanks to Mr. Dicky for making this possible. He was indeed quite helpful with booking. I received prompt responses and all of my inquiries were answered with no complaints. It’s important to note that I am very indecisive but Mr. Dicky was quite patient with me throughout the entire process. Thank you.

About the tour: my flight got in at 5:30am and I was super pleased to meet my guide as soon as I walked out of Arrivals. I didn’t have to stand around lost, one of my fears for this trip, being that I didn’t have a local SIM card to make any calls. Thankfully, all went well. I came out and there was my name.

After meet up, we started the tour where I spent about 12 hours between both parks and lunch. Time wise alone, I definitely got my money’s worth as I didn’t expect the tour to be that long. The price with the fact that it was only me on the tour, I have no complaints.

At the national park I was able to see lions, giraffes, rhinos and a few other animals whilst getting the best pictures. The driver was a God-sent. He drove and drove and drove. Made sure I saw as much of everything possible, even when I was getting a bit sleepy and he could’ve easily called it a day. Additionally, when my battery was about to die, he was quite helpful finding somewhere for me to charge my phone. I gave up on charging but he made sure I had enough battery life to continue taking pictures and to take me through the rest of my trip. Thank you!

Throughout the tour Mr. Dicky made sure to call to check-in. From pick up, then at various times whilst on tour. This was unexpected, but I thoroughly appreciated it being that I dealt with him during booking and had no correspondence with driver prior. This simple act provided a sense of comfort.

Later on during the trip, I ended up having to pay the entrance fee for the giraffe centre. I was unaware that I had to do so and again I greatly appreciated Mr. Dicky speaking to meet directly about that. He could’ve simply told the driver to relay the message. He took the time to explain and make sure I was ok with it. Bless you.

About the giraffe centre: it was quite nice, but I could’ve done without it as it was a bit crowded. That could’ve been because of the date I visited. Of course this bit of dissatisfaction had nothing to with KT & Safaris as they simply took me where I wanted to go. And I specifically requested the centre. If I had to re-do, I would skip it. The giraffes were absolutely lovely and seemed to be well cared for, it was just the crowding I disliked.

All in all, it was a great experience. Very professional and efficient. Communication was A1; even after the tour Mr. Dicky checked in to make sure I was satisfied with the service. I highly recommend the company and I will definitely use them again on my next trip where I plan to bring my 9yr old to Kenya. Thank you K T & Safaris for allowing me to have the experience I envisioned and then some.

Amazing Safari
5/5

The most vivid impression of a trip to Kenya is, of course, a Safari! For the first time I chose a two-day tour to Tsavo East. And organizer of Safari was quickly found, too. And I did not lose. Everything was organized very well. And the hotel where I spent the night, is beyond praise! Well, kinds of animals we met didn’t depend on the organizers of the Safari. Moreover, we traveled on Saturday-Sunday. And the animals, as our driver told us, also have a weekend.

Short but eventful safari in Tsavo national park
5/5

We went for 3 day trip from Mombasa to Tsavo park in a jeep, had two nights in safari lodges. During the trip we saw all animals from the big 5, except rhinos, plus lots of various antelope, giraffes, jackals etc. Our guide and driver were very friendly and helpful, provided lots of bottled water during the safari. The lodges were clean and cozy with meals provided. However, drinks cost extra.
On our way back we visited a Masai village, the entrance does cost money but is quite entertaining.

Wonderful Safari with best driver Kenyatta!
5/5

The 4 days safari went around very fast, we saw a lot of animals and had the best rider (Kenyatta) you can imagine!
We were 4 in a Bulli for 8 people so we could spread out, had enough water all the time, which was even ice cold. Previously, we were worried about uneven roads and possible back pain, but the fear was unfounded, even though it was not a Jeep, the Bulli was very well sprung.
The accommodations were also good to even dreamlike (AA lodge at Amboseli).
Kenyatta answered each of our questions with infinite patience, explained us some and discovered animals before we could even guess a shadow from them.
We would definitely recommend it again and next time with kt & safaris book / drive!

Wonderful people and easy to deal with
5/5

before our holiday to mombassa i did some research and found KT & Safaris. they had 5 star rating and reading the comments decided to book everything before going. I was so glad i did as we were looked after from the moment we got there, with text messages from Dickie explaining everything. I went to their shop on the first evening and paid up in full for my trips ( i had a bit of trepidation paying every thing up front but i need not have worried) Our first trip was a 2 day safari to Tsavo East and we were collected promptly at 6am. The roads in Kenya are little more than dirt tracks , so be advised your journey will be very bumpy.we had a very good days sightseeing , even catching sight of a baby lion cub which the mother had tried to hide in a type of rockery. Full marks to all the guides talking to each other and telling each other where to find the best animals.We saw Lions, Elephants, Giraffe and my personal favourite was families of wild Hogs with their tails that stand upright, even as they run hahaha. shame we did not see any leopard or Rhino but seeing the lion cub and whilst staying in our Lodge the elephants came up to the watering hole at dusk for a fantastic photo opportunity.For a western person everything is a bit basic but that all adds to the charm. Our driver could not have been more helpful. Dickie and Jameel were only a text message away if i needed them, which i did not.
We also used them for a day trip to Wasini island where i lost my camera and got bitten by mosquito's but that was not their fault it was entirely mine. even then they could not do enough for me and some of the guides all did some diving to try and find my camera. so full marks to them.
i would have no hesitation in recommending KT & safaris for any trip and advise people they can be trusted so just sit back and enjoy their 5 * service

Several Car break down but arrangements found to permit us to proceed with our safari.
3/5

Price for 2 safaris and transportation to diani beach was quite expensive, according to me.
Amboseli safari was really great.
Tsavo east was very big and we didn't see much animals but the lodge was terrific, especially the high view point.
2 times car broke down during the same day delayed our safari and lunch was then canceled.
Dicky has lots of contacts and found some arrangement to help us proceed our safari.
Bad point of our 3 days safari was the car else everything was OK.

6 stars for Dicky, 5 is not enough
5/5

My mother and I took a private safari with Dicky, 2 days to Tsavo East. Even though the Landrover had some problems, Dicky kept everything under control in a friendly and funny way. Our adventure was real this way, something extra, we wouldn't expect. We had a highlight on our second day, when a group of 3 lions were attempting to hunt buffaloes. It all happened in front of our eyes. The accomodation we had at Voi Safari Lodge was out of the ordinary, from our room, we had a panorama view of the Tsavo East national park. These 2 days we will always remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you so much, Dicky.
