"African Beast No Show"
We only had one day in Nairobi which is why we booked this tour in advance. We waited in our hotel lobby for over an hour but African Beast Tours never arrived for a 9:30am pick up time. Fortunately we were able to arrange a last minute tour with another company. If that wasn't bad enough, I have been trying to get my deposit back since I returned from Kenya over 3 weeks ago. I have been emailing Kipawa, the owner, who says he's still working on it. I wanted to give him a chance, hoping he would do the right thing. I have since given up on him and had to file a claim with PayPal instead.
You might want to avoid African Beast Tours.
There are many other dependable and reputable tour companies to choose from.

Hope you are well.
Thank you for the review You sent the money to the wrong PayPal account.
How were we to run the tour with money we could not trace.
We gave you the idea of putting a claim on PayPal for your refund so you can properly pay for the tour but you refused how were we supposed to show up?
It is very impolite for you to write such a review and mislead other Safaribooking readers.
Safaribookings should pull it down.
Anyway we hope another tour sends you back to Kenya and we host you for a memorable experience.
Thank you for your feedback it is through such reviews that make us turn moments in to memories.
Best regards
Kipawa

Full Day Mini Safari to Nairobi national Park
Amazing one day tour in Nairobi by African beast tours and safaris during the covid-19 period
They provided a comfortable jeep for my family with a funny experienced and patient driver(Sammy).
We were able to spot lions getting ready for the morning the elusive leopard rhinos zebras and many more animals.
.We also stopped and pulled a stuck car with our jeep which really comes in handy during wet times.
Hope another sends us back to this company for memorable moments

Very knowledgeable and fun
Overall a great experience, couldn't recommend more!
The national park / elephant orphanage and giraffe breeding centre were all really amazing and must see experiences in Nairobi. My guide was really informative and went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time.
The company was also very flexible with lunch options and I was able to request a stop nearby with no fuss.
Great day, thank you to African Beast Tours and Safaris!

Competitive & Professional
Our tour to Amboseli was highly organized. Mercy the representative was prompt, responsive and honest. Mercy was able to accommodate our budget and also upgraded our group for no extra fee. We stayed in Serena and Oltukai a great decision that was welcomed by our group and flawlessly coordinated for us by Mercy. The driver/guide “Mr. Sammy” simply put is “A vibe!” one of the most professional, knowledgeable and courteous driver/guide…Period! Sammy’s driving is extremely cautious with “bionic eyes” for spotting wildlife as a bonus. The Land Cruiser was comfortable too. Already planning for the next one Feb 2025 with African Beast Tours & Safaris. We look forward to our upcoming trip and hoping to have our friend, Mr. Sammy with us once more. Thank you Mercy + Sammy!
ONEL❤️VE!

Flexible and rich tour
I had a long waiting time in Nairobi between two flights, and I decided to book a one-day tour with African Beasts Tours and Safari to spend the day around the Nairobi National Park. They crafted a perfectly tailored tour for me with pick-up and drop at the airport, in time to get my next flight.
George was extremely helpful and gave me interesting insights on daily life in Nairobi and the wildlife in the park. He picked me up at arrivals and he has been very flexible during the day, accommodating my requests and facilitating my visits to the elephants' orphanage and the giraffe center. He is also an excellent video maker :)

Professional and friendly tour operator, everything works brilliantly
Everything worked as was agreed. Mercy was very responsive to all questions, and Kenneth was a wonderful driver and guide. Price was very reasonable. The tour was just amazing as well as the Nyati camp, where we stayed. The only minor issue was that on the second day we would've appreciated a snack at some point, and that we had to buy our own drinking water.

6 star experience!
I did 3 day Masai Mara Safari and African Beast Tour has been extremely helpful from the very beginning. I asked for a quote for more than 10-15 tour companies (including inquiring directly via WhatsApp and not only through Safaribooking website) and they gave me the best price (I’m very used to doing campings and cheap travels so went with the most budget option) but everything was above the expectation.
Mercy, who was the main point of contact for the trip was super helpful, prompt with her response (even in the early morning of the day of the tour to organise the final part of the payment online), The camp had a good set up with a hot shower, barely had any bugs inside and the bonfire to meet other travellers which was highlight of the experience.
The driver James was also amazing! He knew everything (and every other safari drivers and guards at the gates) to ensure he’s always at the right spot, managed to see all the big 5 games (including Black Rhino which is super rare to spot) and wildbeests crossing the river (the spot was super packed with other safari cars and the rangers were moving them around but he talked to them and got snuck into a perfect spot to see them which was crazy!)
One negative part about the trip was that my seatbelt was broken from the beginning and all other seats were taken so felt bit unsafe for the trip there and back. Hopefully they make sure to check all the safety requirements as well before each trip.
Overall, everything (the price, communication, safari itself and accomodation) were above my expectation and had amazing time so thank you so much!!
