A very enjoyable and worthwhile experience!
Wilson collected us from our Airbnb, on time (even a little early, which was perfect!) for our day in Nairobi National Park. He was really personable, friendly and knowledgable about the wildlife around us, and we got to see so much - from the lions, to the secretary bird, he pointed it all out to us, and he and the driver seemed to see things before we did. Our day was fitted in during a very short stay in Nairobi, and the communication and planning was so easy via WhatsApp. I can't recommend Wilson highly enough - and we look forward to using him on our next trip to Kenya, hopefully to go to the Mara. Thank you!

Gracious people with a great sense of adventure and aptitude for guiding
Wilson was a straightforward communicator and connected with Charo who was also excellent. The tour was great from beginning to end. Everything was efficient and we maximized the potential with the time we had in the Mara. I would say the value of the tour was outstanding. They were all trustworthy and I would recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and informative experience.

Reliable, helpful and quick to respond.
From the first contact to our return home Wilson has made himself available the help and assist. If I had a question or a concern, a quick WhatsApp and he replied within minutes, if we wanted to change our plans a bit, he sorted it out in a few clicks. He was very punctual, in constant contact with the drivers and hotels to make sure we were well cared for. The tours themselves were exactly as we had agreed and expected. Will I be using him again next time I visit? Absolutely.

Very professional, reliable, and his attention to detail in planning our tour was invaluable.
I recently had the pleasure of going on a safari in Maasai Mara and it was an unforgettable experience. From start to finish, everything was perfect. Wilson was in contact with me within minutes of me requesting tour information. Every question I had Wilson would answer in detail within a few hours. We had an extra day in Nairobi and we wanted to go to the Giraffe Center and the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage and Wilson said no problem I'll make it happen. Wilson was even early for hotel pickup and explained our whole itinerary while we drove to meet our driver Peter. Our tour guide Peter was knowledgeable, friendly, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time. He knew exactly where to find the animals and shared fascinating facts about each one we saw. The accommodations were excellent, with comfortable beds and hot showers, and very friendly staff. It was the perfect balance of comfort and adventure. Overall, I cannot recommend this Maasai Mara Train enough. It was an unforgettable experience that exceeded all of my expectations. If you are looking for an adventure of a lifetime, look no further than Wilson and his company. I would definitely go on another safari with them in the future.

Excellent value
This was a really excellent 7 day safari visiting Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Hell's Gate, Naivasha and Amboseli. Very well organised with good places to stay. The driver was also very good. Excellent value for money

Outstanding custom safari experience
We (a group of 8 adults and 2 children)had very unique requirements for our safari - and there were several moving pieces to it. Wilson did an outstanding job of helping us plan, book, and manage our entire Kenya trip - which included visits to Masai Mara (flight + open jeep safari), and Amboseli Land Cruiser safari. The drivers he managed to secure for Masai Mara were outstanding and ensured we had the most amazing experience there. He also helped us book a private car with a guide to visit Lake Naivasha - which included a biking safari inside Hells Gate National Park, and a hike to the crater of Mount Longonot - again the driver he provided ensured we had very unique experience like buying fish in a local market and getting it cooked right there. After this - we had another private car that dropped us to Tsavo East from Mombasa and back. As you can see there were so many points and aspects that could have gone off schedule but not one did. Wilson was always available and on top of everything. He was flexible with the choices we had for our hotels and always eager to ensure we had a good time; he even come to the Masai Mara safari with us to ensure smooth running.
We are already planning our next trip to Kenya/Tanzania and will obviously directly work with Wilson to plan the next adventure. I strongly encourage you all to give him and his agency a chance to plan this once-in-a-lifetime trip for you and your group.

Our tour operator was experienced and knowledgeable.
We booked a safari with Maasai Mara Train in October 2023. They are professional, have fair pricing, and lots of value for your money. Our guide, Mr. Peter, was awesome. He was knowledgeable about the wildlife we viewed and a very cautious driver. While some other drivers went off road and drove dangerous paths, Mr. Peter kept our safety in mind the whole time. Our lodging was also great, with friendly staff, a variety of good food, and a hot shower waiting after a long day in the park.

Went off without a hitch!
We used Wilson for our 18-day trip to Kenya in September. We had come up with a pretty packed and complicated itinerary but Wilson was able to make all the arrangements for us and everything went so smoothly. We didn't have a single issue with anything--all the flights went according to plan, all our drivers were there to pick us up and the arranged time, and all the accommodations were great. We loved our drivers in the Masai Mara (Anthony, Tom, and Sammy). They were so knowledgeable about the area and got us the most incredible animal sightings! Wilson was very communicative and even came along on our Masai Mara safaris to make sure everything went smoothly. We will definitely be using him again on our next trip to Africa!

100% Recommendable! Best Safari agency in Kenya: great guide/driver, safe and comfortable Safari
We booked our Safari with Mr. Wilson because we had some friends that did with them a Safari back in August 2022 and had an excellent experience.
We had an outstanding time in Kenya, we visited 3 national parks (Amboseli, Masai Mara and Nakuru), a volcano (Longonot) and Lake Navaisha. Our guide/driver Peter was amazing, with more than 15 years of experience doing Safaris he knew who to find all possible animals and did his best for us to have an unforgettable memory of our trip. Really appreciated his energy, sympathy and the safety he transmitted us during our trip.
Maasai Mara Train Safari is a super recommendable agency to book your Safari with. The price is totally fair with no hidden costs, since the first moment Mr. Wilson explained and help us organize the Safari to meet all our expectations.
Thanks very much Peter and Wilson!
