Excellent - book with Bateleur :-)
Pre safari communications were good and when our flights were delayed, Mathew was very helpful and flexible. Martin was our first driver and he was friendly and knowledgable - he found us lots of lions. The accommodation lived up to expectations (and in some places exceeded them).
Having originally booked 3 nights in the Masai Mara and had such good experiences, we chose to book another 3 nights with Bateleur.
There were some technical difficulties with the van and, when it became apparent these could be fixed, a upgraded car was quickly dispatched and Amos, our second driver was great.
Overall, we had a great time and would throughly recommend Bateleur Eagle safaris.

AMAZING!!
Bateluer Eagle Safaris were excellent every step of the way. The tour went as planned and they were prepared for every day's activities. Our driver/guide Stephen was friendly without being too much on top of you. The car itself was perfectly suited for the safari. Even when we had a mechanical issue, our guide was focused on making sure we weren't too inconvenienced. The customer service was excellent overall.
The safari itself was great. We did a 6-day tour so the pace was perfect. We saw almost everything we wanted to see and much more. We let our guide know what we were looking for and he went above and beyond to deliver that to us. A list of animals we saw on the trip: wildebeest (felt like millions of them), lions (including a couple of beautiful males), multiple cheetahs (as they were feeding!), leopard, rhinos, elephants, buffaloes, and antelopes of all kinds. It was a total blast. We highly recommend Bateleur Eagle Safaris and we look forward to our next safari with them. Great job Newton and the team.

BEST AFRICAN EXPERIENCE EVER!!!
We did a 16 days safari trip with Bateleur Eagle Safaris. We started booking pretty late about a month in advance. We thought we were late but actually the booking was very smooth. We got in touch with Mathew in the Kenyan office who helped us with the quote. He was very efficient and also very patient with us. We had so many questions (being our first time to Africa) but Mathew answered them all. The first leg of our safari consisted of Samburu, Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. Our driver guide Steve was very knowledgeable with animals, birds and plants. He talked about Kenya and Africa in general with pride. We could definitely tell that he loved his job. He was very patient with us and went out of his way to make sure that all our demands were met. We were in tears when saying goodbye to him to cross over to Tanzania.
We switched vehicles and driver guides at the border and met our second driver guide Bashir. Our Tanzania portion will take us to Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara and Tarangire National Park. Bashir was also very knowledgeable and jovial. We instantly fell in love with him and the beautiful country. It was the perfect combination!
We saw hundreds of lions, many rhinos both black and white (especially in Nakuru and Masai Mara) seven leopards including 2 kills, cheetahs, wildebeests, zebras, giraffes, wild dogs in Samburu, big herds of elephants and many many more. This was the best vacation we have ever had. I am coming back next year with my family and friends and we have already started planning. I can't wait to meet the entire Bateleur Eagle Safaris team! Thanks a lot for a life changing experience

Thank you for the trip of a lifetime! We HIGHLY RECOMMEND Bateleur Eagle Safaris.

Fantastic. From the initial communication to the final drop off after the 3 night safari.
Mathew was prompt, attentive and fair in pricing. The drivers were friendly, enthusiastic, and entertaining. Do your own research, and Mathew can put it all together for you, or pick from his prepared itineraries. We had a large group of 14, with multiple arrivals, departures, and requests. And all were met. Kudos!

Amazing safari with excellent team of professionals
Safari exceeded all my expectations!!! Especially I want to note Mathew. He accompanied us at every step of the travel organization. Mathew helped us find the best interesting safari tour program, organized program a stay in Nairobi, booked a comfortable hotel in Nairobi,arranged a warm welcome on arrival and even presented safari hats)))
Our safari guide Stevie was a real professional. He showed us many interesting moments from the life of animals such as: lion hunting, mating of lions, elephant fighting, crocodile hunting. We always felt the care and attention of Stevie during the safari.
It was unforgettable!!! We will return definitely!!!

Matthew/Steve/Jeffery were all great. Very hospitable and helpful
Everything went smooth - from the Airport pickup to the drive to Masai mara to the actual safari. etc.
Matthew/Steve/Jeffery all did an amazing job - were very friendly, informative, and helpful at all stages of the trip.
We even bought airline tickets last minute to fly back from Masai Mara to Nairobi and even that went without a hiccup.
Would HIGHLY recommend.

AMAZING SAFARI
Bateleur Eagle Safaris offered us one the best Safari experiences that we ever could have hoped for & it was far better than expectations.
We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi incredibly promptly. We then drove to the Masai Mara, which is actually fine. It's around 5-6 hours drive but there are stops and chances to stretch your legs. From there, we checked into the Zebra Plains Mara Camp which was absolutely amazing (and the food was great!) before being whisked off for an evening game drive.
The first drive was great -In our first 2 hours we saw Lions, Cheetahs, Elephants etc. The rooms at the camp were also good value. The next morning We couldn't believe our luck and managed to see all of the big 5! It was one of the best days of our lives for sure.
I would highly recommend this service if you are looking for a super value, great company with the guides with great accommodation. Our driver guide Stephen was also great! Thank you Newton and team for this memorable experience. We highly Recommend Bateleur Eagle Safaris to everyone.

Really well organized and great job on all front.
Matthew and his team did an incredible job from start to finish on meeting us and walking us thru every part of the safari. They meet us at the airport the moment we landed and took over the rest. I will definitely be bringing my small children over.

The most wonderful and unique experience!
It was the greatest experience ever!
We only had 3 days and we wanted to see the maximum. I can't thank Bateleur Eagle Safaris enough for making our trip unforgettable and stress free.
Newton organised everything for us , providing us with enough time to rest but also filling up the days with plenty of activities and beauty to enjoy. He was always online to answer any of my questions.
The accommodation in Amboseli was extraordinary, the game rides were out of this world and our driver was the friendliest human being we've ever met.
I wish we had more time to spend in Kenya. I thought the time won't be enough to enjoy , but they made it absolutely possible and enjoyable. They actually made it hard for us to leave.
I can't wait to be back in Kenya!
Thank you Bateleur Eagle Safaris for showing us the wildlife in Africa as it is! Thank you for being so professional and personal at the same time! Thank you for the best experience!
See you soon !
