Everything we wanted!
From beginning to end, we loved it. Our guide Josh was excellent, the accommodations were great and we saw a great variety of wildlife.

Timely, organized, affordable and the best service received
Everything was very well organized though under short notice. The driver,patrick, was conversant with the whole drive and we'll informed of the species found. The drive was superb and comfortable. Did not experience any problem along the way. The guide/driver made sure we at least saw all the animals found there and had a wonderful time while there.

Max is Amazing!
I went on a private guided tour with Max who was amazing. He had a sixth sense aware of the animals would be including the big five. Max was especially great at finding liens. Max found us prides of lions, giraffes, elephants and other animals in groups of 10 to 25. Use Max or you will probably drive around wasting your time. Cannot recommend Max enough.

2 day safari Masai Mara
Great Tour of Masai Mara. Excellent communication with James from day 1.
Day of the safari, Mike our guide was punctual picking us up from our residence in Nairobi.
Mike was pleasant and made sure that we saw the animals as close as possible during the game drive.
Overall, enjoyable and well organized safari.

Having been recommended saunterland I can see why.
Booking a trip during Covid 19 is a risk and this company were more than accommodating and patient. James was helpful through and provided me with any information requested. Derrick was my guide in uganda, his knowledge made me feel at home and his sense of humour was perfect for an English person. Even when off duty and during the evenings the tour felt like a home from home.

Friendly and professional team that delivers a first rate experience
A great getaway from Nairobi! The Sopa lodge is picturesque and friendly with great service. Saunterland tours delivered a great guide, door to door service and good communication before, during and after the trip. We will definitely be using them again.

Just perfect from the first to the last step.
This was my very first direct booking in Kenia just per Mail/Whatsapp and I never regretted it. Just can recommend James, who was very patient and fair within these COVID-Days with postponing, replaning and rebooking. He always had good ideas and kept contact all the way long.
Simon was a very profound guide in Masai Mara - Thank you. His knowledge and driving skills were amazing. Communication was always perfect and friendly.
Btw, Saunterland was not the cheapest offer but we always felt safe and secure and we respect the service.
5*-Rating!

Exceptional experience!
Pre-Arrival: We had a trip planned to Sint Maarten but had to cancel last minute. We decided to go to Kenya instead and got in touch with James from Saunterland Safaris a few days before arrival. James was able to plan our private safari and the booking process was very efficient.
Pickup & Transportation to and from Mara: Our safari guide Gibson met us in the hotel lobby in Nairobi at the mentioned time and was very courteous. He was knowledgeable and even before reaching Masai Mara he took every opportunity to show us relevant and cultural things about Kenya on our way to Mara. We opted for the Safari Land Cruiser and it was spacious, had sockets for phones and anything you need power for, and a pop-off roof which was excellent for game viewing. Alternately, you can ask James to help with tickets if you want to fly into Mara. This is a more comfortable and faster option and that way you can preserve energy for the actual game drives and your trip after/before the actual safari.
Game Drives: Masai Mara is a lovely place and a lot of safari enthusiasts probably know a lot about wildlife and animal behavior. This is where Gibson shone as an experienced safari guide, he was knowledgeable and knew where to find the game. He also educated us about animal behaviors that we were unaware of despite watching many documentaries on the subject and reading the books.
We saw a lot of giraffes, lions, hippos, cheetahs (the famous band of brothers that has appeared on many documentaries), leopards, and a baby leopard which was so lovely. The cherry on the cake was being able to see a Black Rhino mother with a baby Rhino. Gibson knew the hot spots to spot the less spotted game and has observed their behavior so he was able to time our drive and take us to an area where the sighting was much more likely. We had breakfast in the bush on one of the days.
After our Rhino spotting, we had a lovely bottle of wine that Gibson, our guide got us, overlooking the Mara Sunset which was breathtaking. The day our game drive was supposed to be early, Gibson already made sure our lunch boxes were ordered, keeping our dietary preferences in mind and it is these little touches that made it a memorable experience.
Accommodation: We stayed at Ashnil Mara and it was very nice. There is a range of accommodation choices available which James can help you plan. For us, Ashnil was very nice and comfortable and we are used to staying at good hotels (read Ritz-Carlton, St Regis, One&Only, etc). For the price, we were impressed with the service.
Overall: I recommend Saunteralnd for booking your safari experience without reservation. We will use them whenever we travel to the East Africa Region (they also have safaris in Tanzania and Uganda I believe). The price we paid was very reasonable and we think it was a great trip for two people (we paid less than 600$ per person) and honestly, the experience far exceeded what we paid. I am sure prices change with the season and may be different (we traveled in May 2021, so it wasn’t a busy time) We had one spare day in Nairobi and we booked Gibson again to show us around and got a photoshoot done. Highly recommend a day of photography which James can organize for you. The safari car rental for the whole day all-inclusive costs us $180 minus the photographer.
