Unique experience, which exceeded our expectations!
We did the 4-Day Magnificent Lake Nakuru Masai Mara Luxury Safari.
Everything went perfectly, we were picked up by our driver Tom at the hotel and received an introduction to the upcoming days.
Tom was a very sympathetic type, where you immediately felt comfortable and safe.
The driving distances were long, but with the safari jeep 4x4 land cruiser it was still comfortable. This car was the right decision and we're glad we didn't take the cheaper van. He always made enough stops so that we could eat and drink and go to the toilet.
Thanks to Tom, that we saw many animals at game drive, because he was in constant contact with other drivers who were looking for animals. In addition, Tom knows almost everyone in Africa^^, what was the reason we saw many animals. Tom also knew a lot about the animals and the country and was therefore able to tell very interesting things. On the previous evening, he always reported on the course of the next day, so we always knew what was going on. We really appreciated, that Tom was a very experienced driver, who knew good places and went out of his way to show us as much as possible.
At the end of the safari, we were unloaded safely at the hotel with many unforgettable impressions.
The whole organization with the accommodations worked very well. The Cliff Nakuru was one of the nicest hotel we have ever been to. Also the Sarova Mara Game Camp was very nice.
With all the people we had contact with, they were always friendly and ready to help. The entire food was always good and it was always checked that we had enough water on the safari.
In summary, it was a unique experience, which exceeded our expectations.
Many thanks to Esther, who gave us a good feeling for the organization with constant email contact in advance and to the driver Tom, who did an extraordinary job.
We will never forget this trip! Thank you for everything.

A fantastic trip
We went on a 13 day private safari with Esteleon, and it was absolutely fantastic. Our driver, Tony, was extremely knowledgeable and provided a great experience for us.
We saw all of the big 5 as well as Cheetahs, hunting Mongooses, White and Black Rhinos, all three subtypes of Giraffes, a wild newborn hippo, and even a mother Spotted Hyena and her cubs in their burrow.
I personally preferred the Tented Camps over the Brick and mortar hotels because they were cooler at night and you could hear the sounds of the animals and rivers as well! If you are going to visit the David Sheldrick Wildlife trust, I would recommend adopting an elephant so you can go to their adopter hour, which is much more intimate with the baby elephants than the 11am visit.
Favorite Places: Ol Pejeta, Maasai Mara, and David Sheldrick's Adopter visiting hour. Ol' Pejeta's tented camp was my favorite lodging and had the best Rhino viewing. Maasai Mara was incredible for seeing predator animals such as Lions, Cheetahs, and Hyena.

Amazing and wonderful trip !
Very helpful and flexible guide/driver "Tom". Even with more than usual amount of rain, he was able to manage trip really well. I would recommend this tour/guide. Definitely going back again.

Experienced, cost effective, flexible, friendly, committed & good English speaking Driver.
Esther was very responsive and responsible. We had an issue with couple of accommodations and she changed it to make us happy. She also paid for the Masai Village tour and the boat ride in Naivasha. We never expected this. Though November is not a good month for Safari due to rains, the Driver Tom went the extra mile to show us as many animals as possible. He also spent extra hours to drive us around in Nairobi and helped us fill the time since our flight was late in the night.
I would recommend Estleon Adventures for anyone planning to Kenya.

Well organized and easy communication
Our Safari was amazing. An experience one should not miss out. Our driver was a very good guide who could tell us lots about animals and nature. Communication with Esther was easy going and very kind. She put us together an offer that would come up to our expectations. The accommodations were all very fine. And we had a really wonderful hearttouching time plus saw the big five.
We went to lake naivasha, lake Nakuru, Maasai Mara and Ole Pajeta. The Lodge in Sweetwater Seaview was really luxurious as for we had a tent with view to waterhole where all animals met. So in the morning at 5:30 we could see Sunrise and the wildlife from bed in our tent.

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.
