Personal ja friendly safari
Our experience with King Tomondo Safaris was absolutely great. we got very friendly and frequent advice/info from Lisa during the few weeks before the safari. Our driver Alfani was also friendly, with good humour and excellent driving skills. Tahri camp was wonderful and during the 48 h (2 nights) at Tsavo East we saw more than we ever could expect. Hundred's of elephants, zebras, lions, two cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, etc. etc. Two nights in one place was enough, however, and if we would have stayed for a longer safari, then we would have liked to move to, say, Tsavo West. So: thank you, King Tomondo Safaris, our expectations were met really well and we are happy to return one day.

Fell in Love with Kenya!!
Our trip was amazing. The organization went just as advertised, smooth pick-ups from the hotel on time and excellent communication, Lisa and Niklas did a wonderfull job and put in a lot of time and effort to find the best suitable safari for us. Payment was also easy, since you can choose to pay to their german bank account, no fees or anything.
What really left me speechless was the trip itself. The game viewing was soooo amazing thanks to our driver and guide Alfani, who knew the parks just like they are his backyard. Wow!! I never dared to dream that we would see so many animals, lions, a leopard, several cheetahs, elephants, giraffes and many more. My personal favourites were the zebras, they are even more stunning than in TV. Truly beautiful animals! And Although we got very close to the wild animals, I always felt very safe in the well equipped vehicle.
After the safari we didn't go back to Nairobi but spent some days at the coast in Watamu and also did a trip to Wasini island which was included in our safari package. We love snorkeling, so we really enjoyed. Kenya is just so diverse, we definitely have to come back soon to explore more of this wonderful country. Overall, a fantastic experience and we will definitely be using KingTomondo Safaris for future bookings!

Kingtomondo - absolutely recommendable!
We booked a 3 day safari from Nairobi to the coast. We went from Nairobi to the Amboseli and the Tsavo West National Park and finally ended up at the coast in Diani Beach.
Organization: The organization in advance was very good. Lisa quickly answered our questions via e-mail and the payment was quite easy because the offered to pay by bank transfer to a German account. Everything worked out very well.
Accommodation: Our accommodations were very nice and well located. The Sentrim Amboseli Lodge was right in front of the National Park and has a pool area to relax. The Rhino Valley Lodge is located in the middle of the Tsavo West national park on a mountain from which you have a great view. If you're lucky, you can spot some animals on the waterhole in front of the lodge.
Guide: Bashir was just awesome - very friendly and funny. He can tell a lot about the animals and national parks as well as the country and people in Kenya. He responded to our requests and always tried to fulfill them. In addition we liked that he is very considerate of the animals. Although we always kept a certain distance, we were still able to take great pictures.
Safari: We saw many animals on the tour - elephants, hippos, buffalos, zebras, wildbests, giraffes, antelopes, monkeys, hyenas, birds and even a rhino, leopard and cheetah. It was especially great to watch the animals bathing in the Amboseli National Park. It was a wonderfull tour with many nice impressions.
The safari with King Tomondo was a great experience and we had a great time!
Thank you so much!
Asante Sana!

Great communication, completely seamless trip, tailored to our needs
My friend and I were completely taken care of from our first communications with Tomondo, all the way through to the drop off back in Nairobi. Lisa was awesome with keeping us posted all along the way, from making sure the driver was picking us up at our home in Nairobi, letting us know that he'd arrived, and making sure we were having fun, while we were on safari. My husband initially chose Tomondo because of their prompt response and thorough answers to all of our questions. Travelling, we were two women, so we wanted to feel safe and comfortable all along the way, and we were! Nicholas was a great driver and went above and beyond, answering all of our questions (and then some!). He stopped when we wanted to stop to observe the animals and nature, and let us linger as long as we wanted to. We saw some AMAZING stuff while we were in Amboseli, and he made sure that we got to see everything that we wanted to. I'm vegetarian, and the kitchen staff and Kibo Lodge made sure I was well-fed. Our accommodations were spectacular....we loved the pool, the views, the staff, and the food. I'm definitely going to be returning with my family and will use Tomondo again! I highly recommend using them!

Awesome experience
We booked our Safari at KingTomondo and had a great experience. The lodge was awesome and our driver Bashir was very nice and made sure that we saw all of the different animals. Dinner included a delicious buffet of various local and international food and we really enjoyed. Communication with Lisa was very friendly and helpful. Again any time!

Easy communication, perfect Tour (also for children!)
What an amazing experience! We travelled with our 2 children (both below 10) and from the very beginning of the planning process KingTomondo was extremely nice and helpful. Lisa and Niklas are such a lovely team. Communication was super good, it seems you can write to them at 4 in the morning and still get an answer almost immediately. They also speak German, which was extra convenient. We had quite a lot of questions about the tour and also about a few days at the beach before the tour, and they easily guided us through all of that. They even recommended a few hotels and lodges for us which specifically cater to the needs of children.
Later, on safari, our guide Said was wonderful. Always smiling, friendly and very very helpful. We enjoyed both his company and his knowledge a lot, also (and even especially!!) the kids. I can recommend to anyone to take your kids on a safari, it is such an adventure for them! Whenever we come back to Kenya, we will go straight to KingTomondo again. You can't go wrong with them, super friendly, easy going and professional. 100% Recommended!

Extraordinary experience with KingTomomdo and our super nice guide Bashir
It's an unforgettable experience we had going to Amboseli and Tsavo East with KingTomondo and our guide Bashir. Before booking, the communication I had with Lisa was clear and efficient. We really appreciate our guide Bashir. He is super nice, patient, professional with the routes and wild animal spotting, he is also very knowledgeable of the landscape, animals and plants. We had great conversation along the trip.
During the three days, we were very lucky with weather and animals. We saw almost everything possible with some of them really close up. Lions cheetah, elephants, owl, hippos, and lots of gnus, antelopes, zebras, ostriches and giraffes, birds as well. We experienced both sunny weather and rainy day to see the changes in African savannah.

Wonderful Safari Experience
We had a wonderful time with KingTomomdo. Our guide Bashir is reliable and super helpful. He seems to know every living being in Kenya and he certainly showed us the best of Amboseli and Tsavo East.
The trip arrangement is seamless but also flexible. The two hotels are lovely with their own unique features. The experience of dining while watching elephant families taking bath is unforgettable!
Highly recommended for everyone visiting Kenya!
