Safari Dream Come True
5/5

Our 8-day safari experience in Kenya with Estleon Adventures was an absolute dream come true! From start to finish, every moment was filled with awe and excitement, with the incredible wildlife and landscapes.

First and foremost, our tour guide Isaack was exceptional. His passion for the wildlife (and he is a birder like my father!), his extensive knowledge about the local ecosystem, and his friendliness made our safari truly unforgettable. Isaack’s ability to spot animals from seemingly impossible distances was nothing short of astounding, and his knowledge about them enriched every sighting. He was patient with all our questions and went above and beyond to ensure we felt comfortable and engaged throughout the trip.

The itinerary crafted by Estleon Adventures was perfectly balanced, offering a diverse range of experiences that showcased the beauty of Kenya's national parks and reserves. From the majestic elephants roaming Amboseli to the thrilling sight of a lion pride in Maasai Mara, every moment was a highlight in its own right. The accommodations provided were not only luxurious and very comfortable but also immersed us in the heart of the wilderness, creating an authentic and unforgettable experience.

The attention to detail from Estleon Adventures was evident in every aspect of the safari. Our transportation was seamless, the meals were delicious and catered to various dietary needs (I am vegetarian), and the staff at every lodge were incredibly hospitable. The entire team's commitment to sustainable and responsible tourism was truly commendable, and the 5-star service made our journey even more unforgettable.

But it was Isaack who truly stole the show. His enthusiasm for sharing his love of the land and its inhabitants was infectious, and it's safe to say we left Kenya not only with incredible memories but also with a new appreciation for the delicate balance of nature. Isaack’s stories, his insights, and his genuine care for both his job and his guests made him the heart and soul of our safari.

Our first-time safari with Estleon Adventures exceeded all expectations. Thank you for orchestrating this remarkable experience. If you're considering a safari in Kenya, look no further – this is the team you want by your side.

Wonderful! Amazing experience with the best guide James!
5/5

We did a 4 days safari in Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and had an amazing experience! Our guide, James, was the best .. he knew everything about the animals, the national park and Kenya. We saw basically all the animals from up close, and he made sure we always had the best spot! Wonderful place and experience, highly recommended

5/5

Willy put tour guide was the best and knowledgable person. Esther the tour manager really welcomed us and kept supporting us through the full safari. Moreover, due to an error from my side, Estleon accomated us in Nairobi on thier expenses. I couldnt ask for better tour than this.

They talk the talk and walk the walk. Would always come back with them

Incredible safari experience from beginning to end!
5/5

Choosing Estleon Adventures for our first safari was the best decision my husband and I could have made for ourselves. Not only was it way more affordable than other travel companies, but the professional was also unmatched. There are not enough words for us to describe the beauty of our trip and our appreciation for Esther and our guide, Ben, but I will do my best with this review.

I have dreamt of exploring Kenya for many years of my life and knew that this is where I would want my first safari experience to be. (It will definitely not be our last!) Kenya is beautiful on its own, but the attention to detail that Esther and her team demonstrated was beyond any experience we have ever had. We celebrated our one year wedding anniversary during the trip and did not really mention it to anyone, but they made sure to make us feel so special throughout the trip. Esther's connections with these luxury resorts made our stays some of the most lavish we have ever experienced.

Thank you, Esther, for making this trip so perfect for us from the first day to the last. You made sure the trip was perfect for us and were in constant communication with us from my interest email many months before our trip to throughout our trip, as well. We will recommend your company to everyone we know and we will definitely be back.

To our tour guide/driver, Ben -- we could not have had a more magical safari experience if it were not for you! Ben was kind, attentive, professional, and so very knowledgable. I've always loved learning about animals (and teaching my students about them) and Ben taught me more facts about these incredible creatures than anyone ever has. You can tell that he has such a passion for his career in tourism and such a respect for wild animals. He is an incredible photographer, as well! Because of Ben, we were able to witness the big five in the wild -- many times! If we wanted to just sit and stare at a group of cheetahs or admire the beauty of a leopard, he let us -- no questions asked. We even witnessed the largest tusked elephant in the world at Amboseli named Craig!

Words and photos will never do this trip justice, but it truly was a trip of a lifetime. This is the longest and most detailed review I have ever written, but that is because this company deserves it. Thank you again!!!

Highly Recommend Estleon for Private Safari
5/5

My wife and I had a wonderful 7 day private safari with Estleon Adventures. Our driver, Isaac, was knowledgeable, personable, patient and a wonderful driver (an essential on Kenyan roads). We saw lots of wildlife, beautiful areas of Kenya and had a great balloon ride. Accommodations and food were outstanding. Esther was great to work with and helpful when we needed to adjust our schedule. Highly recommend Estleon Adventures.

Trip of a Lifetime for a Lifetime Traveler
5/5

I cannot say enough about Esther, Isaack (our guide) and Estleon Adventures. Stop looking for the right Safari company, the search is over! If you enjoy the finer things in life or are interested in the most incredible accomodations, in the most incredible locations with the most incredible guide, booking this trip couldn't be easier.

Isaack (aka "Governor") was not only an incredible safari guide and driver, but a unique and genuine person that made this trip the best trip of my life. His skills and knowledge regarding the wildlife were unprecedented. We saw countless species (of course the big 5!) and he tailored the itinerary as we traveled from location to location, game drive to game drive. My wife and I also share his love of the birds and the variety of species he showed us and taught us was incredible! His sense of humor and outlook on life and Kenyan culture made every single day more memorable than the next. He also loved to surprise my wife and I multiple times over the trip and we were blown away! No spoilers though!

Typically I do not book inclusive resorts or set itineraries when I travel, as I like to set our own schedule but WOW, I would hand the reins over to Esther and Isaack over and over and over again. By the second day my wife and I had complete trust in Isaack and his expertise. We woke up every morning excited to see what the day would bring. I will remember every moment! Especially Maasai Mara! What an incredible place!

It was my first time in Africa. First time in Kenya. First time on Safari. I'm coming back. I'm booking through Estleon and requesting the Governor. I can't wait.

Very helpful & professional
5/5

I’m writing this review because, like yourself, I was wondering what company was best to book with; and I can guarantee it will be Estleon. Esther, our tour organiser, was responsive & professional. Esther was very easy to book with and was helpful when we wanted to customise our trip. The experience itself was just amazing; the accomodation at both Entrim (Masai Mara) and The Cliff was amazing. At Entim, we enjoyed Tuskers by the fire, overlooking the river of hippos, and trading our game drive stories with other travelers. You have a once in a lifetime experience as you could hear the hippos grunting, the lions growling, hyenas laughing, all outside your camp tent (don’t worry you are VERY safe with the Masaai protecting the camp all night). The Cliff accom also had this insane view of the lake & we got up early to watch the big, beautiful sunrise. The staff at both were super lovely and willing to do whatever to make your experience a great one. We also had the best & most knowledgeable guide named Isaac who knew exactly where to go & find the animals. Having a great guide really does make your trip & he was fantastic. The food is lovely as well, you had to roll us out of each place we ate & drank so much given it was inclusive. Highly recommend Estleon & we’ll be booking with them again when we return.

Best of the Best
5/5

Where to start? An incredible honeymoon thanks to Esther and Isaack. We were so lucky to have chosen them for our safari.
Incredible service, amazing game rides, hotel choices, communication, etc. You name it, they crushed it. They even put on a special sundowner for our last night for our honeymoon. Taught me a lot about amazing customer service. Do yourself a favor and book your safari with Estleon. You won’t regret it- they are the Best of the Best.

Isaack- can’t wait to see you again my friend!

5/5

Every part of the experience was wonderful. From answering all my questions and concerns to payment and creating a superior dream vacation! The all inclusive price was incredibly fair. My trip was busy but I feel I got so much information and education as well. It was truly eye- opening and inspiring!!
