Tailored safari experience that exceeded our expectations!
Big thank you to Estleon and our point of contact Esther who was simply fantastic and always answers any questions we had very promptly and with lots of appreciated info. We felt very comfortable throughout.
We were super happy with the safari, everything was arranged so nicely for us, exactly what we had hoped for and more. And Willie our guide was superb!!
Both the properties we stayed in were fantastic, I’d say they both deserve 5-stars rather than the 4 starts they have. We were thoroughly impressed and happy. Thank you Estleon, we will for sure recommend you to our friends and we are also hoping to come back ourselves in the future and would not hesitate to contact you then again.

Well organised to high standards
Everything was well organised and worked to perfection. Esther was very helpful and always there to provide assistance. The transfer to and from airport worked very well and flight to Mara was easy and on time. Ilkeliani camp was great. Luxury tents with loads of attention from staff. Food was simply delicious and the guides experienced. The location on the Talek river inside the reserve makes it very easy to reach places where plenty of animals could be spotted, including all big cats. Security, a very important aspect, was kept all of the time especially at night. I felt comfortable throughout the stay and enjoyed a great safari.
Difficult to see any negative aspect. Maybe more detailed upfront information on the reserve would have been nice.

Great communication, professional and organized
Brilliant trip- I started researching in early December and knew we wanted to go to Samburu park. Tour Radar had three companies with the park as part of their itinerary. Esther at Estleon was the first to respond and put together a great proposal. After a few tweaks we were able to finalize a tour of four parks.Esther stayed in contact throughout the period before the start of the arrival.
Our trip in late January started with 2 nights in Sambura, then Aberdare(the Ark), Lake Nakuru and ending in Masai Mara. Bernard (Ben) our tour guide/Driver was amazing. Bernard absolutely made the trip seamless and knew every park and where to be to get the best photos. He was always patient and ready to answer our many questions. I cannot recommend him enough
Estleon are a smaller women only owned company. I read through all the reviews but was a little apprehensive before the trip that I had chosen wisely. After the trip I can assure anyone thinking of using Estleon that based on our experience you will be very happy with your choice
PROS
- Private Modern Four Runner SUVs with water coolers and free water
- Excellent communication at all hours with a smaller dedicated team
- Great advice on where best to stay in each park
- We received a free night before starting the tour at a hotel right by the airport (had a 1am arrival)
- Bernard who has 10 years experience leading tours of you can get him
The only change we would have made to our tour was to do 3 parks vs 4. The Ark we felt was not the right fit for us but if you want a rest after a long flight might be a great place to stay. Sambura, a much less traveled park, was our favorite. Within 5 mins of being on a safari drive you are already surrounded by animals and the smaller size of the park makes it very easy to see the full Big 5

Bernard, was nothing short than amazing! He was knowledgeable, attentive and went above and beyond
Estleon Adventures, was the best choice we made for our honeymoon travel trip. We decided to go on a safari for our honeymoon but we did not know where to start. We were clueless but Estleon staff held our hand through the whole process and seemed happy to do so. No complains!
Esther, the owner was very friendly, communicative, attentive, and anything we needed, she was beyond helpful. She helped answer any questions we had throughout the whole process. She went above and beyond to help with our visa applications. Our honeymoon was very long so we decided we didn’t want to travel in car 6+ hours, she moved things around, found us some domestic flights, she even instructed our tour guide to get our luggage so we did not have to pay extra luggage fees. She took care of every single detail. She was detailed oriented and solution focused!! AMAZING!
Bernard, our tour guide, from the moment we met him, we were treated like family. He made sure we did not leave our game drive without seeing everything we wanted to see. He made sure we were taken care of in every single accommodation site, he was very knowledgeable and insightful. He answered every question we had about the culture, the parks, the animals and the country. He even stayed to chat with us for a while, we truly felt like royalty throughout the whole trip. He made sure we got to every single park safely, and made sure we stayed hydrated. We couldn’t ask for a better tour guide.
We will definitely do this again and 100% refer Estleon to our friends and family!
