Estleon Adventures: the more professional and friendly team that you could ever ask for!
Esther is amazing she helped us in every step of the way even in things she didn't have too. From visas, to booking hotels when you arrive to Nairobi, to making sure that we had the best time of our lives ( she even baked me a cake and arranged for the masai tribe to dance for my birthday! Who does that???). The only sad part was that we didn't meet her personally. Our huge thanks to you Esther!
Tony was our driver, and once more couldn't have had a better one. He has hawk eyes and is able to find any animal you ask for, he tries his best to get you the best shots and he even helped us with the culture differences between theirs and our country. Don't have any problems in booking with them, they are amazing people you won't regret it! Thank you Tony and Esther!

Simply perfect!
We went on a 7-day safari tour including Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara and we couldn't have asked for more! Esther was really helpful, kind and understanding from the first moment and helped us design our custom trip adjusted to our budget. When you visit Kenya from abroad you are always worried to find an agency you can trust and Estleon Adventures is that and much more: Tony (our driver, guide and now new friend), was perfect from beginning to end. Always with a smile on his face and making jokes, we could notice he was respected and loved by the other guides and lodges stuff. Great knowledge about animals, he gave us many curious facts about them and made the impossible till we were satisfied with what we saw (lions, cheetahs and even leopards). Awesome driving skills even though the road was really bad due to heavy night rain. We are no experts but we have been in several safaris in countries like South Africa and we can say this was by far the best of all: we have no doubts that without Esther and Tony out trip and experience could not have been as incredible and perfect as it was.

Amazing experience..
The best thing with Esther was that she was the first one to respond to my queries on Safaribookings. All the responses were prompt & clear and she made sure that everything is taken care of. It was a complete package (unlike quoted by few others)- right from pickup to drop off at Nairobi airport. The selection of lodges were also good. Her quick responses were indeed the game changer.. all requests were taken care of promptly which was great since we were travelling with kids (including 2 yr old).
The driver/guide was Tom - another fantastic guy.. knowledgeable and friendly.
I highly recommend trying Estleon at least once. This was one of an amazing and memorable tour we had.. thanks to Esther & Co.

A Masai Mara safari full of surprises and emotions
The safari was organized by Esther, always available. After having clarified my requests, she sent me some proposals among which I found the one I preferred. Esther answered all my questions and so everything went very well. Tony, our driver, was great at leading us into the park in search of the big five. Thanks to him and his keen eyesight, we have seen: cheetahs, lions, lionesses, a leopard, buffaloes, elephants, hippopotamuses, crocodiles, zebras giraffes and thousands of wildebeest and more. Three very exciting days.

Unprofessional, unorganized and not having appropriate car
1- We arrived at Nairobi airport at midnight, no one was waiting for us, we have to call the Esther to arrange a transport
2- We booked for private game ride but one day in Masai Mara another car broke down, the driver asked us if we can help them to get them to their hotel, we said its ok but we ended up whole day with 5 people in our car. They completely ruined 1 day of our trip. When we complained the agency sincerely apologized and said it will not happen again. We asked for refund for 1 day but they refused.
3- The driver was just a driver, he didn't know anything about the animals, nature or culture, this waisted lots of our time.
4- The last accomodation had nothing in common with pictures, the rooms were absolutely dirty, it seemed they never washed them since they built the camp. No internet access although wifi signal was available.
5- The car was not appropriate for luxury safari tour. It stuck several times in the field, waiting several hours of our time.
6- In the itinerary there was a lunch for the last day but the driver dropped us at the airport without lunch.

Thank you for making our honeymoon the most memorable holiday ever!
Esther organised the most wonderful holiday and honeymoon for us and our family. She worked so hard to craft the perfect experience for us that exceeded all expectation and was well in our budget. The accommodation that was chosen for our holiday was hand-picked and each location was perfect, the staff, the food, and the surroundings. We were living the dream! We had the most amazing driver - Tony - highly recommend him. He was very kind and incredibly knowledgable about where to see the animals. He would tell us a lot more about each of the animals we saw so we could fully understand how they lived in the wild and what their different behaviors meant. He looked after us very well and found us the big 5! We cannot thank Estleon Adventures enough for our honeymoon, they went above and beyond to create the most incredible bespoke experience for us on safari. Esther and Tony are brilliant and we hope you choose to safari with them- you won't regret it!

Big 5 Safari accomplished
Estleon's representative Esther and their driver/guide Tonny delivered a trip beyond exception even getting up close to the elusive Cheetah taking shade from the sun up in the tree. Game viewing is such a wonderful experience, I came away with renewed commitment to preserve whats left of our planets bio diversity.
Thank you
Incredible Safari experience
Esther
Thank you so much organising a wonderful safari for the five of us. It was excellent. No concerns or worries, everything went to plan and Tonny was excellent. He managed to find us the 'Big 5' and gave us a lot of game viewing opportunities. We also managed to see several cheetahs and both a Leopard and a lion up a tree!! Beyond our expectations!! Tonny was very professional, knowledgable and kept to the tight time schedules whilst still giving us sufficient time for breaks. He should be commended for his driving ability on the incredibly bumpy roads !!
The camps were great too. Lake Nakuru camp with their beautiful lodges that looked over the park and the refreshing swimming pool. Enkorok mara Camp was wonderful too!! we just loved the canopied luxury tents and its wonderful friendly staff. They surprised the 'honeymoon' couple with a decorated bed of petals and then on our last night a surprise bush diner for the five of us!!! not only a diner but a dance performance by the maasi Mara tribesmen - Thank you Esther for organising this for us, it was magical!! James our son even joined in with the Maasi mara dance !! A once in a life time experience.
We truly had a magnificent time and couldn't have wished for anything better.
On a personal note, Esther, as a tour organiser was excellent, very helpful and extremely prompt with her communication and our requests, she went over and beyond her role!!

Great safari and great customer service
Our safari far exceeded our expectations. We went to Aberdare, Nakuru, Naivasha and Masai Mara. We saw white rhinos, cheetahs, lions, water buffalo, elephants, wildebeest, zebras, giraffes, crocodiles, all kind of antelopes, lots of species of bird and much more. Our guide was friendly and fun, and looked after us very well. He worked very hard to make sure we got fantastic views of as much wildlife as possible and so we were very happy. We had great service from friendly staff at all the hotels we stayed at. They were in great locations, had excellent facilities and the food was of a high standard.
