Professional and affordably safest Safari campany to take you around kenya!
5/5

We traveled with Bateleur Eagles to and from the airport and me and my husband were thrilled at the level of proffesionalism of the staff of Bateleur Eagles.They are completely trustworthy.They met us at the airport and took us to the right hotel and vice versa. My husband and I had the best of times visiting Crescent Lake in Naivasha, Hells gate ,the Giraffe center in Karen. Bateleur Safaris arranged all out trips. They gave us a personal driver for the entire trip who was very friendly, informative ,safe and honest. Their prices are reasonable and a great value and not to forget the comfortable and clean tour vans . The vehicles are world class. We consider returning and definately travelling with Bateleur Safaris on our next visit to Kenya. Keep up the good work ! You are a five star Safari campany! Much love from us in the Netherlands .

It was our 1st trip to Kenya Afraica a family of 3 and it was a swell one. Thanks to the organization and most of all Mathew wambua. Our tour guide, he was like family. Took us to the best places you could be in africa. A very kind and a humble person hope you get to meet him and experience the same hospitality. Thank you.

Beyond Exceptional
5/5

Bateleur went above and beyond my expectations. From booking all the way to the end of safari.
They keep in touch with you and give you all information about the trip in advance. The itinerary is detailed and lives up to it.
The tour guide driver (Lawrence) is well informed and has a great knowledge of the animals and the park itself and he easily spots the animals from a great distance.
I'd highly recommend this tour operator as the prices are worth it.

Excellent Experience
5/5

Every aspect of our experience with Bateleur Eagle Safaris was flawless. Initially, we selected a small number of companies when we started to think of going on Safari, it quickly became evident that Bateleur Eagle Safaris was by far the most flexible and had the best communication. They put together a number of options very quickly which allowed us to choose exactly what we wanted within our budget. The booking and payment went smoothly. The safari itself was excellent, the camps were as promised and our guide, Antony, was truly an expert in his field. His ability to spot and recognize animals was second to none and truly amazing. In addition, he ensured we were always comfortable and had everything we needed.

Overall, our experience was amazing due to the people at Bateleur Eagle Safaris, and I recommend them highly.

Bateleur was so friendly and easy to deal with in making the arrangements for safari adventure. Accommodations were as promised and expectations were exceeded on the Safari trip. Knowledgeable guide made the experience so much more meaningful. We definitely plan to go again. Highly recommended.

Outstanding service with breathtaking adventure!
5/5

My friend and I had the most incredible experience with Bateleur Eagle Safaris. We stayed at the most amazing lodges, resorts and bush camps. Our guide Mathew made the experience 5 star for us. Everything was handled from the beginning, we didn't have to worry about a single thing except to have the most life-changing trip we could have ever imagined. There was no small detail left out, the service was impeccable and their knowledge of Africa and the animals was truly awesome. We were so happy, we are booking with them again in the near future, this time to see the Masai Mara. Look no further than Bateleur Eagle Safaris, your life-changing memories are waiting for you!

“The Black Leopard” 3rd time booking, only gets better and better.
5/5

Where to start? We can’t thank Newton, Mathew and their team enough. After two bookings before with my (now) wife. I set them their biggest challenge yet!

After a failed trip to South Africa with my Mum in 2020 (some thing called Covid). We thought this trip wouldn’t happen.

We messaged the Bateleur team in early November who quickly collated a highly bespoke schedule to our exact requests.

It took a little while to confirm our side, and the various lodges / camps availability had changed. With a long list of questions from me (I would say us but I’d be lying!), the team managed to completely rejig our schedule and delivery our dream trip.

Starting in Nairobi we headed North to Samburu, but not before a surprise. We had asked if Jack the incredibly knowledgeable guide from my first visit to Kenya was available. We’d been informed he had some family matters and our guide would be Anthony. The team had arranged for Jack to be with us, but kept it a secret until the departure… from both of us! It’s not often that I’m speechless! And we were off to Samburu, catching up all the way.

We asked to dive off the road to sample the Dragonfruit and Mangoes grown and then sold along the edge. Jack picked the right place where we managed to interact with the locals as if we were local ourselves.

We enjoyed 3 nights in Samburu, watching leopard, elephants, lions and an unbelievable 360 degree sighting of a lazy cheetah.

We left for Laikipia, but dropped in by our guides childhood school in the foothills of Mount Kenya. My Mum is a teacher and wanted to see how children were taught in Kenya. Jack arranged for us to sit in on a Maths lesson and have a tour of the school.

We spent a few nights looking for leopards again (with luck!) and Striped Hyena / Wild Dogs (with no luck this time). But the show was stolen by an encounter with Giza, the now infamous black leopard of Laikipia. A true bucket list experience. We then spent the last morning tracking Kisiwa, the large local male leopard before our paths crossed on one of the tracks when heading back to camp.

We finished off with a couple of nights in Lewa, a real haven of Rhinos. So hard to find in so many places, we even managed to find a handful of Black Rhino.

We rounded our trip off with a meal at Carnivore with Mathew, Newton and Jack - dawa’s all round. And if it’s your Birthday possibly a surprise song…

Jack, assisted by Alex in Lewa, and the team live off making the dreams of their guests come true. They have a high level of expertise, but are also really open and accommodating to people specific (and often demanding!) requests.

You can never see everything, but the Bateluer Eagles Safari will get you as close as it’s possible to get.

We might not be able to get back soon, but we will be back.

Redefining African Experience!
5/5

Trip number 2! We trust Newton and Mathew with our first trip to Africa in June 2022 with a Safari experience across Kenya, this time we returned as Newlyweds with a Bateleur Eagles Safari booked and organised trip to Zanzibar.

They matched our needs (knowing us well by this point!) with a local guide for a tour of Stone Town and then transfer to our resort. Our guide was really helpful and even took the time out to find us a baobab tree to visit which was on my bucket list!

We made some changes to our schedule after deciding one thing was a bit “tourist trap” and everything was swiftly changed without a murmur.

Making memories is their specialty.
