Perfect planning, incredible experience!
When planning our trip to Kenya we contacted a number of travel agencies, from the initial contact and proposal we had a good feeling about KingTomondo Safaris. The communication was to the point, Lisa understood immediately our preferences and tailored the itinerary accordingly.
The proposed itinerary was a 7-day safari through Tsavo East, Amboseli and Tsavo West, the lodges and camp sites where carefully selected all offering amazing views in prime locations in each of the parks.
On the first day of our Safari we were met at the hotel by Aziz, our guide/driver throughout the entire journey, an amazing and charming person with a lot of knowledge about the fauna and flora of the parks we visited. For an amateur photographer as myself it was a pleasure to have Aziz at our side, never in a hurry and allowing enough time for taking photographs. During our trip we where able to spot four out of the Big Five animals.
Lisa and KingTomondo's team am are very involved and will assist you with all the practical arrangements (airport transfers, hotel bookings, ... or even a last minute hot air balloon safari.
Despite the COVID pandemic we had safe journey, KingTomondo and all lodges handled everything in a professional manner, this should not hold you of visiting Kenya and it's parks.
We'll definitely return to Kenya and will book with Lisa again!

Reliable people. Excelent Safari . Amazing driver/guide.
After reading some good reviews, we decided to go with the KingTomondo Safaris, and we couldn’t be happier. Literaly they made the dream come true. They have tailor made our safary to our bugdet and expectations and even helped us with things outside the Safari days, like pick-ups, PCR test. All of that with honest prices.
They treat you like family. Lisa is readly available and an honest person. The places We stayed were really what we expected.
We were lucky to have Daniel as our Guide/driver. What an amazing person and incredible guide, ready to answer all questions and really experient . With his help We spotted chitas hunting a gnu, We had close encounters with lions and elephants and spoted the big 5 and the big 9! And most of all, We felt like We were traveling with a friend.
We recomend Lisa and Daniel 100%.

An indescribable great 8 days Safari with KingTomondo!
The safari was breathtaking. We saw so many animals, all the lodges were great and our memories will be unforgettable. Dan, our driver, was the perfect guide. We always had the feeling that we were in the right place at the right time. His knowledge and skills, his sense of humor were perfect. We couldn't have imagined a better driver and guide than Dan. Everything was just perfect.
Thanks to KingoTomondo for this indescribable safari, thanks for the organization and Lisa's professional communication at all times. The way how quickly Lisa responded to our questions and requests was one of the main reasons why we chose KingTomondo. We will unreservedly recommend KingTomondo and Dan to our friends and families.

Perfect holiday despite Covid-19
Second safari with Tomondo. A bit hesitant because of the travel situation at first, but decided to give it a go nevertheless. We were not disappointed! In fact, for anyone looking for a fun but safe holiday right now, I can really recommend going for a safari. It really doesn't get easier to maintain "social distance" than on a safari in the middle of nowhere. The parks were not as full as during our visit, making for a much more relaxed visit. No queues, we were often the only jeep at a sight! The lodges also handled things very well. All in all, we didn't feel any more at risk than in Germany, maybe even less so.
Please note: Tests are needed to go to Kenya and back to Germany, even if you are fully vaccinated. A bit annoying but also made us feel safe, despite we already got our vaccination. We would like to thank Lisa and the rest of the team for making us familiar with the current entry rules and for always being quick to help if we had any questions. They also organized our tests at Diani Hospital so we didn't have to worry about that.

Amboseli & Tsavo, 5-days
Asante sana to King Tomondo!
We enjoyed the tour very much and appreciated Dan a lot for guiding, driving and company. The accomodations even exceeded our expectations (Kibo Safari, Voyager Ziwani, Salt Lick Lodge and Sentrim Tsavo).
Thank you also for easy and reliable communication.

Amazing safari
I traveled to Kenya with some friends on very short notice and King Tomondo Safaris was able to set us up with a 3-day program that suited us with only 2 days notice. Their communication was fantastic, they gave so much information ahead of time (even with recommendations outside of the safari for staying in Kenya) and they were always quick to respond and help. Our guide Daniel was amazing, he was so knowledgeable and fun to drive around with for 3 days. We absolutely loved the game drives, the tent camps, the land cruiser....everything was perfect, organised, convenient, exciting - we will remember this trip for the rest of our lives.

Fabulous safari!!
We really enjoyed our recent Safari with Said to tsavo east and west and amboseli. It was amazing, we saw so much wildlife such as cheetahs, leopards, lions, hippos and even a rhino. Our guide was very experience and knew exactly where to go to see the wildlife. We fully recommend king tomondo for a great safari with Said who was a absolutely fabulous guide.

Superb organization, strongly recommended!
We were hesitant to go on safari during these difficult times at first. We asked a few of the local agencies for rates but were not sure if we really wanted to go. Lisa from KingTomondo was the one finally able to make us feel comfortable enough to go through with the booking. She answered all our questions and responded to our initial worries with great patience.
The safari took us to Tsavo, Amboseli NP and Salt Lick and we were very happy with how everything went. Our driver Said was super nice and we hope we can go with him again in the future. He really has the eyes of an eagle! Although this has not been our first safari, things were still a bit different this time. The parks are almost empty and sometimes we took long without seeing any other safari car. This is certainly bad for the industry but for us it made for a very special experience. We also worried about health at first, but were pleasantly surprised with how well the camps managed hygiene. For anyone thinking whether or not to go on safari these days, we can definitely recommend to do it. For us, we will be back to Lisa and KingTomondo in the future, hopefully with the same amazing experience.
