It was worth the money paid and will love to do it again when another opportunity comes up
All inquiries and planning for the trip was smoothly and efficiently done via email and on the internet including the 30 percent advance payment. The balance was paid on arrival in Kenya. My wife and two kids (6 and 2 years old) and I did a private 6 days Kenyan Safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National parks. Within the first 3 days game drives (the vehicle was in good condition and comfortable), we had seen all the big 5 and other wildlife that anyone will wish to see thanks to the experience of our tour guide/driver Peter. This made the rest of the tour flexible for the kids to do other fun activities and also have some rest. The icing on the cake was the one night stay at the Sarova Lion Hill Game Lodge where we were entertained just before dinner by a dance group with songs and dances which the kids still sing and dance to to date and the view of the ice on the mountain in the clear clouds from our balcony at the Satao Elerai early in the morning as well as seeing different wildlife at the observatory while at the open air restaurant. Our only regret was that we did not go along with a powerful camera to enable us take some very good closeup photographs. I will happily recommend Monkey Adventures to anyone interested in doing a similar Safari tour.

If you want to see all the cool safari animals these guys will show them to you.
We had a great time with Arvind our guide. Very friendly and knowledgable. Even got us a good spot to watch a lion eating zebra. Very comfortable vehicle. We can't wait to do it again in the future.

Monkey Adventure is very professional both pre-booking and afterwards.
We had our first Safari experience in November. It was breathtaking and have the best memories of my life.
We started from Masai Mara, then to Lake Nakuru and finally Amboseli. It was 6 days and 5 nights.
Our guide and driver Joseph was very pleasant and hospitable. He had a great knowledge of the areas and great spotter. Had the pleasure to see the Big 5! We even had an extra day with him to visit various sites in Nairobi the day after the safari.
Thanks to Monkey Adventure for all their help pre-booking and afterwards. All hotel bookings were done as agreed, meals and water were included. Nyani was very helpful during pre-booking and then Yvonne took it over and was great as well. Thank you all for this amazing experience.

Wonderful Experience
We had a fantastic experience with your company and our guide Joseph. He was kind and helpful. We were able to see not only Big 5, but also different species, monkeys, zebra and wart hogs. We had great views wonderful scenery and saw everything that was available. Our vehicle was perfect. It was absolutely fantastic safari.
Excellent tour organiser and the guide, highly recommended
We had an amazing experience visiting Kenya for holiday. From the start we were picked from the airport as arranged, the communication was very clear from the beginning of our enquiry until the last minute. When we arrived at the national park we met our wonderful guide Richard. He was extremely experience with nature, knowledgeable about the animals and spotting beautiful creatures. We felt safe with his driving and confident about whatever he was organising. We will definitely be back in the future and using Monkey Advanture and request to have Richard as our guide. I am sure other guides are all meeting a very high standard. We met some of the team and they are so helpful and friendly.

From my first contact, through negotiations on a plan and eventually booking, then meeting their representative in Nairobi and following flight to the Maasai Mara triangle and meeting our excellent guide Richard, everything was very clear, open and professional, my dear wife and I felt safe at all times and the knowledge of Flora, fauna, location/routes etc was extensive, he knew just the right places to go even though these were somewhat limited due to un seasonal heavy rain fall well into what should be the dry season. I recommend booking with these guys, they'll take care of the whole package as they did for first timers like us but I expect provide exceptional service to seasoned safari folks too. The truck was pretty new, easily dealt with challenging off road conditions and was spacious and comfortable, endless supply of drinking water on board, and handy guide books to help confirm identities of all sorts.

Reliable and creative company,which provide more experiences, than advertises
My 3-Days safari started at Diani Mombasa. In the fact that I was only by oneself, the guide picked me up directly in the hotel regardless of the distance.
Mr. Moses Mwanake Mwacha was such a kind and very knowledgeable guide who knows nearly all the wild animals in the park. He explained me all the details needed for that animals and landscape. He was gentlemanly and offered me kind help with photos of his i-phone ( my camera was broken). He sent me amazing photos . This is the guide I will recomend in case you plan safari in Kenya.
Hotels were wonderfull and we had the best reception at Ashnil Lodge Tsavo east and at Ziwani Voyager Tsavo west.
I would like to thank Monkey Adventures for planning such good and wonderfull Safari for me. I will honestly recomed this company to my friends and relatives.

One of the best holiday experience for the family!
We did 7 day safari covering Masai Mara, Naivasha, Nakuru and Amboseli with Monkey adventures in Jan 2020. We had a absolutely fantastic experience. My 6 year old still talks only about the places, people and animals he saw. All thanks to monkey adventures for making it so memorable.
We started on 12th from Nairobi to Masai mara. Our guide Francis was a jolly person, and went along well with my son, patiently answering his several questions (which was one of my top concerns). They became good friends. Francis is 50 plus and my son is 6, yet their compatibility was so good.
The safari vehicle was good and comfortable.
Masaai mara is simply enchanting. We saw several animals upclose. We saw 4 of the big five here on day one itself.
After the wonderful game drives and 2 days of masaai mara, we headed out to Nakuru. We were met by the monkey representatives on the way, who checked if everything was going fine and if we needed any assistance.
In Nakuru we saw two Rhinos and a lazy lion sleeping on the track almost blocking the way. At the lake we walked a few meters with a ranger to the lake to see a Rhino up-close.
Next we headed out to Naivasha. The boat ride and walking tour in crescent island was awesome. We rode close to the family of hippos and in the walking tour we saw hyenas closer than expected:) :)
Our next stop was Amboseli. We saw many many birds here and several family of elephants, always with a tiny cute one amongst them.
Our last stop was at Nairobi, where we did a day tour visiting elephant orphanage and Giraffe center. Both amazing and a must visit place in Nairobi.
All the accommodations provided to us by the Monkey Adventures were beyond expectation. Since all three of us are vegetarians, they conveyed our dietary needs to the accommodations in-advance and we were provided with hot, yummy vegetarian meals everywhere.
We thank all of the monkey staff for making this trip a memorable one and looking forward for many more.

Fantastic experience
Monkey Adventures allows you to customize your trip - both the duration and the accommodations. This way you only pay for what you want. They provide links to the different hotels so you can easily chose among them. John, our trip planner, was great with arrangements and changes and responded promptly by email answering all questions, no matter how minor. He also provided links to easily gets visas, etc.
Our guide/driver, Dickson, was fantastic, taking efforts to have us see as much as possible including the big 5, black rhinos and a wildebeast river crossing. He was very knowledgeable and helpful.
All in all, we had a great and very affordable safari with Monkey Adventures.

The trip was great, and Monkey Travel was excellent. Our guide, Remmy, our assistant guides, Peter, and Bura were most helpful as they come. Out porters, Kevin, and Aman were also most helpful to our group. They provided every thing we asked for. I highly recommend Monkey Travel.
