Amazing Masai Mara adventure for the family
We had a wonderful experience with Bateleur Eagle Safaris for a 3-day Masai Mara tour. Our guide, Amos, was an excellent communicator and driver. Even though we went during a somewhat rainy time, we got to our destinations without incident and Amos even was able to rescue a number of other cars stuck in the mud! (side note: I would definitely recommend the 4x4 vehicle upgrade). We saw so many animals--lots of lions, hippos, giraffes, zebras, gazelles, buffalos, a cheetah, a jaguar--too many to list.
The Loyk Mara Camp was beautiful, secluded and we were the only family there at the time. We had very large and comfortable accommodations, and the food and service were excellent. The camp is unfenced, so we were able to enjoy dinner at sunset with the elephants and giraffes grazing nearby. One of my daughters celebrated her birthday when we were there and the Camp chef baked her a delicious cake that capped off an amazing experience!
I would definitely recommend Bateleur Eagle Safaris.

Incredibly reliable, excellent service
We worked with Newton and the team for our wedding in Nanyuki. It involved about 70 - almost all of whom traveled from abroad - people needing transport from Nairobi to Nanyuki, within Nanyuki, and back to Nairobi. They filled numerous car needs for us, from individual transfers and safari needs, to our wedding shuttles and bus for 30 people back to Nairobi to take a flight to the coast. They were responsive throughout and adaptive to changing plans. We cannot recommend them highly enough.

Extremely efficient and knowledgeable
Firstly we were very impressed by the communication. Newton replied immediately to my emails.
We were very impressed with them altogether .They arrived on time at our hotel to pick us up and gave a comprehensive briefing and we were introduced to our driver/guide. We were with him (Steve) for the next 4 days.
As a guide he was great. He persuaded us to wait a while when we could see a leopard behind a bush, and sure enough it was worth the wait, as she emerged clearly, walked down into a ravine and jumped up the other side. We had 3 separate sightings of the very illusive leopard.
We had sightings of elephants, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, we saw everything but the Rhino.
We even saw part of the migration when a long column of Wildebeests ran by. We didn't see them going across the river, but understood we were too late in the season. Steve recommended we come back in August.
The camp was excellent, especially the restaurant where the food was superb. I am extremely hard to please, and was able to eat every meal. Excellent chef, and the chap in charge was excellent too, I've forgotten his name. I was disappointed the pool was not available.
The only downside was the journey to and from Nairobi over the unmade roads, very bumpy and tiring. I felt sorry for the driver having to negotiate such awful terrain for so long.

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 !

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.

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.
