Trustworthy company with fast and reliable communication.
We decided to go on the safari with five guys and after some research we selected Bateleur Eagle Safaris. We were not disappointed. The organizer contacted us immediately via whatsapp and was willing to tailor safari what fits to our groups needs. Every question which came up to our minds, Winston was ready to help and answer to them in no time at all. Even just regular Kenya/our trip related question, which didn't relate to the safari in any way.
We paid the deposit upfront and paid the rest when we saw each other. The deposit payment was easy to make in the net bank. Rest of the payment was bit of a hassle, because we needed to withdrawal dollars from Nairobi, but there are only some atm's where you can withdrawal them, but in the end we found one.
Pick-up and drop off back to the Nairobi worked smoothly. They always drove to our accommodations parking lot for the pick-up/drop-off.
We had zero expectations about the safari, but our driver/guide managed to show us all of the animals what we could imagine seeing in the safari. Even the Rhino which is really uncommon to see in maasai mara, least if you spend there only three days! He was willing to tell us about the animals, how they behave and about their manners etc.
I would say that the trip was worth every cent of it. Just be ready hear lot of animal noises during the night-time, while you are trying to sleep :).
Greetings from Finland to our organizer Winston & to our driver/guide Geoffrey. These guys we could trust, and hope you can also.

BEST VACATION OF MY LIFE!!!
This is my second safari with Bateleur Eagle Safaris, my best friend and I just returned from a 2 1/2 week vintage safari with them from 8/26/21 to 9/13/21. Everything about this vacation was PERFECT!!!! Our guide Mathew planned out our itinerary and guided us all over Kenya stopping at several game reserves. Our driver Steve was THE BEST!!!!! He drove a thousand miles all over Kenya without any issues at all. During our safari, a dream of mine was to see the Tano Bora (the famous cheetah brothers of the Maasai Mara) and they found them!!!! That was a moment I will never forget and will cherish a lifetime.
It is difficult to put into words the remarkable, amazing adventure my friend and I experienced. The camps were beautiful and comfortable, the food outstanding but the best part was the friendships we made with the Kenyan people. The hardest part was saying goodbye to Mathew and Steve at the airport there were many tears.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for providing me the best vacation of my life, I am forever grateful. ♥

Simply Amazing! Best experience ever
I decided to go with Bateleur after contacting multiple vendors on here and I am so glad I did. I initially had to reschedule due to travel restrictions and they were so understanding.
Newton and the team were amazing, they were prompt in their response, always available via WhatsApp and made sure I understood every detail.
I did 4 day customised Safari with them and I saw 4 out of the big 5 on the second day. The driver, Anthony knew all the hidden corners of the Mara.
They also work with great partners and I had a 5 star experience in Loyk Tent and Hot air balloon.
100% recommend. Definitely good value for your money...I wouldn't look elsewhere

Professional, trustworthy, and go above and beyond to meet our needs
From the first email to the last good-bye, we were impressed by the way that Mathew (coordinator) and Steven (our driver and guide) at Bateleur carry themselves. Big issues in Africa that we deal with are on-time, reliability, and trust, but Bateleur met all our expectations plus more. Bateleur answered all my questions quickly via emails. when Mathew said he made a provisional reservation at the camp we wanted, he really did (unlike my prior experience with another tour company). When we arranged to meet at 7am for orientation before leaving Nairobi for Maasai Mara, Mathew arrived at 6:15am and waited for us to finish breakfast at our hotel. I was very much worried about the required Covid-testing before our flight, but Mathew found a quick (6hr turnaround) and cheap ($50/person) Covid-testing lab by the airport, so we didn't have to cut short our safari (and Steven waited for us patiently for two hours at 7pm after all day driving). Our driver and guide Steven knew where to find the elephants, lions, leopards, giraffe, hippos, ..... and put in great efforts to show us the magic of Maasai Mara - and it indeed was magical. Bateleur definitely is trustworthy and delivers what it promises!

Awesome experience
Bateleur Eagle Safaris make my solo Maasai Mara so memorable. My guide Jackson was very knowledgeable about the safari and where to find the game. The hot air balloon ride over the Maasai Mara was amazing. Newton helped me plan and answer all millions questions. The breakfast picnic was probably my favorite part of my trip. Overall one of the best experience I’ve had.

Don’t hesitate to contact them, best choice you can make.

Amazing Safari Experience
From start to finish the service from Bateleur Eagle Safaris was exceptional. The organisation from Mathew before hand in coming up with our itinerary and being easily contactable was incredibly helpful and he was so accommodating of any requests or queries. The tour itself exceeded our wildest expectations and the experience we had in the Maasai Mara was truly unforgettable. I have already recommended Bateleur Eagle Safaris to friends and family and wouldn't hesitate to use them again.
