Very good rangers, lovely lodges, fantastic parks!!! Food in lodges very repetitive, this is the only negative point. All the rest great

Great budget safari operator, responsive, straight forward and friendly.
Did a 3 days safari in Amboseli Park, Kenya and it was quick and simple to get a quote and arrange the safari.
The safari was good, Amboseli is beautiful and full of elephants! Even in the wet season, we had no particular problem spotting animals even if carnivores were shy due to the season.
The accomodation was very comfortable in camp Nyati with a beautiful morning view of Kilomandjaro, the food was also good by any standard for a camp. A morning walk in the bushes to spot animals up close with a Masai guide was a great addition for only 10$.
The only downside was that the first day was late to depart (due to flooding issues/traffic partially) meaning that the first day of the safari was just driving to the camp arriving at night, it meant no evening drive or animal spotting. Not dramatic, but felt more like a 2 day safari because of it.
Finally, our driver John, the whole time, was friendly, accomodating and very knowledgeable and made the day fun and informative.
I would recommend Landrail Safaris to anyone, and would certainly call on them again should I come back.

Probably the best operator you can find for this price
We spent 7 days travelling with this agency and could enjoy 4 different national parks. Our guide was very sympathetic and professional, we were able to see everything we wanted and even more. Food and accommodation were very good. I can only recommend this agency for backpackers.

Great week with a great company
The 6 days safari I did with Land Rail Safaris was very pleasant. The value for money is great, communication via whatsapp was very good from the beginning and I had a lot of fun discovering some of the most well-known national parks of Kenya. The guide, Clinton, was knowledgeable and although traffic is crazy in Kenya, he took us safely everywhere. I really recommend this company for some magic holidays in Kenya!
Great experience and great value for money
I climbed Mt Kenya this year with Land Rail Safaris, and it was very well-organized and good value for money. The guides and porters were very good and professional and they catered for me as a vegetarian very well. I would highly recommend.

Sam is the best! He is very gentle and careful.
It’s a budget travel. So do not expect too much. It’s enough for you to have a nice time in Kenya. Richard is a very good driver. He knows his car. And led us to see Big Five! I hope everyone is lucky!

They provide exceptional value for money, go above and beyond European standard of services.
First of all, when I decided to go on a safari trip and wanted to find a reliable tour operator, the problem was to choose one because there were too many of them. So I started reading reviews and the phrase, value for money, caught my eye. And really, if I evaluate what we saw, it seems unbelievable. In my case, it was a little more complicated, because I am a celiac and that was not a problem either. I communicated with Sam, who is such a willing and attentive man. I changed the dates of safari, but it was not a problem for Sam at all. Overall, Sam's helpfulness and willingness to fulfill clients'wishes is far above the level of services in Europe. For example, after the safari, we went to the sea. Sam bought us tickets for the bus, had them delivered to the camp where we were, arranged for us to be brought to the pick-up point and put us on the bus. What shocked me the most was that Sam with the bus driver arranged this pick-up point somewhere in between Nairobi and Mombasa, at a petrol station outside the bus stop. No agency would do such a service for me, since it was no longer a part of the safari. One of the agency's rules is to make sure the client is taken care of and safe. I already know that I want to see the Serengeti park and I will again go only with this agency. They also do safaris in neighbouring countries. In terms of accommodation, we were given three price options, from which we chose. It was the same with the choice of parks for our safari. They are incredibly flexible and try to adapt to the client in everything. If you go on safari, ask for Felix as your driver. Only on safari can you understand what a skilled driver is. The routes in the parks are bumpy, full of holes, ruts and rocks. Who hasn't been yet has no idea. Felix brilliantly managed all the maneuvers with the car, he drives without any navigation, even in the dark when we were moving to Amboseli Park, we didn't get lost in that wasteland. If he damaged the car from below or hang the car on some rock, it would definitely spoil the whole program. By the end of the safari, I already had faith in him like superman and I admired him how he managed everything. When observing animals in parks, the drivers cooperate and tell each other by radio where and what animals are found. Every evening at the camp, Felix had the whole car washed inside and out, which was very good because of the dust. He also was a guide, every day he told us our program, approximate times and a lot of details that only local people know. Thanks to Felix, the safari was memorable and exceptional.

Amazing Wild Kenya
This tour operator gave all his best to bring my dream come true.
From my childhood, Wild Kenya was a marvel to explore and finally with Land Rail Safaris, it was my best experience to view all the big 5 of Kenya. Our tour driver and guide Mr. Musa (aka Moses), an ace wildlife tracker, gave his best and made sure that we had seen the variety in diversity of Wild Kenya.
Good stay, nice food and best service for a 7 day package will make anyone happy to visit.
My special thanks to Mr. Steve, Land Rail Safaris for making this possible and will be totally enthralled to visit other African wildlife tours with this tour operator.
