Amazing experience
We spent few days with Kevin as our guide in a three day safari trip in Amboseli and Tsavo east parks, and we have only nice words and compliments for safe driving and the way he treated us and tried his best to spot and show us all the amazing animals in the savannah.
The communication with tomondo was very good, they were very receptive to our requests.

Excellent safari with great drivers
We stayed at 3 great camps- each very different that the company administrator helped us chose. We were a big party of 10, and used 2 jeeps. Our driver, Bashir was superb. He went at just the right pace, was unfailingly good humoured and knew when to stop for pictures and what we were interested in. He altered the schedule as we needed and travelled with us all the way from Nairobi to the beach south of Mombasa. I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Great tour operator with friendly staff and good service
Lisa helped us with everything. She responds quickly, is friendly and very attentive. She provided us with updates as needed during the trip. She can really arranges everything; taxi, train, hotels, safaris.. We had experienced guides, good hotels with good food and all transport was clearly arranged. Before the trip, she even tipped us on how to apply for a visa.

Excellent organized private tour
Jambo Lisa, the safari was amazing. Peter is very good driver. Your choice of lodge in Amboseli is very good, above my expectations. Thank you for perfect organization. We already plan to visit Masay Mara in june next year. We will need your help again. We are very fascinated from Kenya. We will come back again. Thank you Lisa for a lovely journey. I will recommend it to all my friends. Asante sana

Awesome safari with KingTomondo
Our safari was originally booked for 2020 but had to be delayed due to Covid. We chose KingTomondo because they listened to what we wanted for our group and came up with the best options. Lisa- the boss- has been amazing, responding by return to all our enquiries at any time of day. We had two big Land Cruisers for our group to drive from Nairobi through Amboseli, Tzavo West and Tzavo East ending at Diani Beach. We were slightly concerned that our driver/guides would not be as familiar with the parks as a guide based at the camps would have been but we need not have worried. Said and Bashir have many years of safaris behind them and knew all of the parks well. In addition they were part of a driver network who shared any sightings via radio so we always knew where the best game was going to be. They were very knowledgeable and we really enjoyed their company and guidance.
We stayed in three different camps, each one different and all of them good. One had a dam full of hippos and crocs in front of the dining area and one had a waterhole which we could have watched all day as families of elephants, zebra and other game came in to drink.
It was an amazing week and we’d definitely recommend them. KingTomondo is a small business who really care about their clients.

Couldn't be better!
As this was my first safari, and my first visit to Kenya, I was a little nervous as to whether everything would work out as smoothly as our tour operator promised. I can only say that my expectations were exceeded by far, everything was taken care of with such diligence that I felt absolutely safe at any point in time. I visited, together with my husband, Tsavo East and West and got to see all there is including a cheetah devouring an antilope during a night safari. This will certainly not have been my last safari with King Tomondo

Unforgettable safari in Amboseli and Tsavo East with Said
We started our trip in Nairobi, stopped at Amboseli and Tsavo East on the way to Diani Beach. Our driver Said was a friendly and experienced driver who shared lots of information about the wildlife. The lodges were high quality with tasty food. We have seen the big-five except the leopard. We have seen from 100m that a group of Lion kill a buffalo. Said was always communicating with other safari drivers on the CB radio during the game driver so we could quickly drive to a place where something interesting was going on. We would book other safaris with KingTomondo and Said without hesitation as they gave us an unforgettable experience.

Well-organized, exciting, and fascinating tour of Tsavo East and West
Our driver Said picked us up precisely at the agreed time and location. From then on, everything else went just as smoothly. He speaks Swahili and English very well and also a bit of German and is happy to explain everything about the park, animals, and also the Mombasa area in general. He also explains where and when you are heading next at every stop, which makes it easy to follow the tours organization throughout.
During our three days, we saw the Big 5 and then some: lots of elephants and giraffes, buffalo, gazelles, lions, a leopard, cheetahs, hippos, a rhino, and many more. Over night we stayed at Sentrim lodge and Man Eaters lodge, both of which had very comfortable tents/houses and great food (especially the former). We eat vegan and were impressed with the quality of the vegan options. For everyone else, there were also multiple meat-based options.
We feel that the price was reasonable (470 euros per person for a private van) and also had a comforting experience with the payment (bank transfer, 20% deposit up front, the rest on the first day of the safari). During the tour, money is basically not an issue as everything has been handled before your arrival and you only need to pay for extra drinks.
We would absolutely recommend KingTomondo and our driver Said to everyone looking to book a safari.

Amazing
Everything was great: the communication, service. The view was incredible and the team was helpful with everything both before and during the tour. Definitely worth the money and will be recommending this tour to my colleagues.

Great experience and reliable operator - will choose King Tomondo again
This is the second time we went to Kenya and again we included a safari, this time a short 3 day tour of two parks. We wanted to start at Voi (a small town on the railroad from Nairobi to Mombasa) which was not a problem. Our driver Said who was to take us from there in the early morning even came to see us the evening before and ask about our well-being and wishes. We went to Tsavo East and to Ziwani - drives were always pleasant, we saw lots of animals from short distance and took innumerable pictures ... and the lodges King Tomondo had proposed were just great (Manyatta Camp and Voyager Ziwani Tented Camp, just wonderful, also the restaurant).
King Tomondo did not only take care of the safari itself, but also booked taxis (with good drivers) for us in Nairobi (from airport to station and back) and in Voi (from station to our hotel) - everything worked perfectly smoothly. We never had the feeling that anything could go wrong. We highly recommend and hope to book with them again on our next stay in Kenya.
