Best safari we've taken. Most knowledgeable guide and fully customized tours.
My husband and my favorite vacation ever has been our safari with Capture Kenya. From the animals to the accommodations, everything about the trip was incredible!
Through traveling we’ve gotten to have a lot of really cool wild animal interactions, but nothing compares to our experiences on this 11 day Kenyan safari. We were less than 15 feet away from lions, cheetahs, leopards, elephants, rhinos, giraffes, zebras, hippos, ostriches, and dozens of other animals! There were wild elephants that walked right through our camp! It was incredible getting to see these amazing animals in their natural habitats. One of my favorite scenes was getting to see a baby cape buffalo learning to walk hours after being born! We told Capture Kenya the animals we most wanted to see and they planned a dream vacation around our preferences!
From start to finish, Capture Kenya made sure we had the best experience possible! They are a local Kenyan company who cares a lot about conservation and local Kenyan communities. What made our trip truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience was our guide (and the owner of Capture Kenya), Henry Gathura! Henry was the best tour guide we have ever had! He has more than 20 years of safari experience and knew exactly where to go for the best wildlife experience. My husband and I have since done other safaris and this was by far our favorite! In less than 2 weeks time, we were amazed at how much we learned and experienced! Henry seemed more like a lifelong friend than a guide.
Another highlight of ours were the accommodations. Capture Kenya does an amazing job of creating the perfect custom trip to match your preferences. The lodges we stayed at took “glamping” to a whole new level! Every place was so beautiful and right in the middle of the national reserves! Although we were living in luxury, we were surrounded by incredible wildlife! In addition to having elephants walk through our camp, at night we heard hippos, baboons, and even lions! From rhinos to zebras, we saw dozens of different animals right from our room! The food and staff of the lodges were also remarkable. It was definitely our favorite vacation ever!

Favorite Vacation Ever!
We booked an 11 day safari with Capture Kenya Expeditions and it was our favorite vacation! My wife and I enjoy traveling, but this trip stands out from among the rest. Capture Kenya thought of every detail and went above and beyond to make sure that we had the best trip possible. Capture Kenya is a locally owned and operated company who cares about conservation and sustainability and loves sharing about their beautiful country.
Within the 11 days, Henry (our guide and the owner of Capture Kenya) made us feel like we had gained a lifelong friend. We’ve had a lot of amazing guides through our travels, but Henry was by far our favorite. He went out of his way to think of every detail. From food, transportation, lodging, and animal interactions, Capture Kenya takes care of it all. At the end of our safari, he even had custom bracelets made with the American, Kenyan, and Mexican flag because those are the countries we are from, currently visiting, and currently live in! It meant so much that he would do something so personal for us.
The animals on our safari were incredible! We got to see elephants, rhinos, giraffes, lions, leopards, cheetahs, and dozens of other animals up close! Henry was an encyclopedia of animal knowledge. He has more than 20 years of safari experience and knew exactly where to go to see the most wildlife. Within 11 days, we saw more animals than I could have ever imagined! Our first game drive, we wanted to stop for every warthog and zebra that we saw. (Henry had so much patience and would stop every single time :) By the last day, we were driving past groups of elephants and giraffes without stopping because we had been blessed to see so many throughout our entire trip!
One of our favorite parts of the safari were the places that we stayed. The "tents" were more luxurious than many hotels, and the meals were the best we ate during our trip through Africa! While planning for our trip, we told Capture Kenya that we wanted to safely stay as close to the wildlife as possible and they definitely made that happen! At night we heard elephants, lions, hippos, hyenas, and baboons. From our rooms we saw elephants, rhinos, zebras, gazelles, antelope, warthogs, cape buffalo, baboons, and monkeys! We had elephants walk through our camp and monkeys running around the roof of our tent! I was amazed at how Capture Kenya Expeditions customized the entire trip to what we were hoping to experience - and it turned out even better than we could have ever imagined!
From picking us up from the airport in Nairobi to arranging our onward transportation to Tanzania at the end of our Kenya safari, Henry and Capture Kenya Expeditions thought of every detail. We can't say enough how much we loved our time and think that everyone should book a Kenyan safari with Capture Kenya Expeditions!
