If you are looking for the best safari experience, go with Laxa. You will not regret!
Hello everyone. I want to share our review of the safari with this company.
I was looking for a suitable company until I found Laxa Trails Safaris. I wrote, we immediately agreed and at the same time I made an advance payment, and they respond very quickly.
This is our first experience in safari and in general a trip to Africa.
Before the trip, they were always in touch with us. Upon arrival, we were immediately met and settled in a hotel.
The next day we set off on safari and met our wonderful, and most importantly, highly experienced driver and guide Dennis and Peter.
The lodges with which they cooperate are very cool, clean and atmospheric, three meals a day, a wide selection of food and all this is very tasty, top service.
During the entire time, we visited the Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara national parks, and also went boating on Lake Naivasha.
We were very lucky with our drivers, thanks to their great experience, we saw all the big five, and we saw white and black rhinos, leopards three times a day and other animals: twice cheetahs with cubs. I think they are professionals in their field. On the last day we had a little time before the flight, so our drivers decided to show us Nairobi, took us to the supermarket, and then took us to the airport.
We were very pleased and will remember this trip for the rest of our lives.
If you are still in doubt and can’t choose a suitable company for yourself, then feel free to book this company. I recommend it!

Very professional, wonderfully organized trip!
The trip exceeded all my expectations! From start to finish, their communication was excellent—they were quick to respond to my inquiries, flexible in customizing the itinerary, and provided clear details about what to expect.
The service was great. Our guide David was not only knowledgeable about wildlife and the environment but also incredibly friendly and professional, ensuring we were comfortable throughout.
Most importantly, Laxatrails Safaris proved to be highly reliable. Everything went smoothly, from airport pick-up to the game drives. The safari itself was breathtaking. We saw an incredible variety of wildlife, including the Big Five, and the guide’s insights made the experience even more special. The landscapes were stunning, and the itinerary was perfectly balanced between adventure and relaxation.
I recommend Laxatrails Safaris to anyone looking for a seamless, enriching, and unforgettable safari experience in Kenya!

Dreams come true
I've wanted to visit Kenya since I was a young boy - I'm now in my 60's so it's been a long time dream. Thanks to Laxatrails Safari's 7 day safari, that dream became a reality. Whilst it may have been low season, that didn't detract from making the safari a great success (Lions and Cheetah within the first hour of our first safari in our first location (Amboseli NP)), there was still lots of great wildlife to see. The accommodation arranged by Laxatrails Safari were a mix of luxury tents, a bungalow and hotel rooms that more than met our needs - we really loved the bungalow by Lake Navashia. The food started good and got better with each new location. Our driver/guide, Kairu Kuria, was brilliant and helped greatly to make this a wonderful experience.
Would the young boy be happy with the safari - Yes. Would I go back to Kenya - Yes. Would I use Laxatrails Safari's again. Yes, most certainly.

Wonderful Safari
I had an amazing trip on my safari in Kenya. The guide and driver were fantastic—knowledgeable, helpful, and always punctual. The driving was safe, which made the journey comfortable and enjoyable. The accommodation was great as well, providing a wonderful place to rest after a day of adventure. I was especially impressed with the fast response and how the driver went out of his way to return my friend's lost mobile phone to the hotel. The useful and nice hats we received was a thoughtful touch, adding to the overall positive experience. Excellent service all around!

Best safari in my life
I am Korean. It was my first trip to Africa. My family of 4 visited Kenya and wanted to go on a safari in Masai Mara. We chose Laxatrails Safaris for a 2 night 3 day trip and had a great time.
We had a private tour with Laxa Trails Tour and they provided us with the best land cruiser vehicle. During our time traveling around Masai Mara National Park, we saw many animals with the best guide. (Lions, male lions, giraffes, hippos, zebras, etc.) They drove smoothly on unpaved roads and bad roads and made us comfortable.
Laxa Trails Tour booked us a 4 star hotel so we could stay in a safe place during the tour. We were served a course meal with great service every meal and had a good rest in a place with good air.
Laxa Trails Tour picked us up from our accommodation and took us to the hotel on the last day. We visited Masai Village on the first day of the tour and Lake Naivasha on the last day. I was satisfied with the rich composition.
Peter from Laxa Trails Tour was the fastest to respond to me among the dozens of African safari tours I contacted. He sent me the most sincere itinerary and conducted the tour reflecting all our requests. I would like to express my gratitude to peter and all the members of Laxa Trails Tour.
For those who are hesitating, Don't hesitate and apply with confidence!
It was a family trip with adults and my parents really enjoyed it!

An excellent safari operator providing a great experience
We have just completed a six day safari with Laxatrails. During planning from overseas their communication was quick. On safari our guide, Peter, did an excellent job. His experience and communication with other guides meant that we were at the right place to see a large variety of wildlife, often at very close range. We greatly appreciated our talks with Peter, his knowledge of the wildlife and what he shared on Kenyan culture. We also enjoyed many laughs together! Dennis, the boss, was a pleasure to spend time with and he was attentive to our requests. We were happy with all of the accomodation arranged for us and particularly enjoyed the luxury tented camp experience at Mara Mtito. We can thoroughly recommend Laxatrails.
Kia Ora from two happy Kiwis!

Watch for the bait and switch on the safari vehicle.
The accommodations were nicer than expected and the food at the accommodations was very good. Our guide,Peter, was good. The reason for only 2 stars had to do with the safari vehicle. It was a minivan. Their quote included pictures and description of a Land Cruiser so I was surprised when the vehicle that showed up to pick us up was a minivan. I asked them about the change and they said that land cruisers are available for an up charge. I’ve never known a tour company to have up charge items available but not list them anywhere. Usually selling upgrades is a prime goal. Therefore since this information was not provided and misleading photos were included, it felt like a simple bait and switch. If you use Laxa Trails, make sure you ask what kind of vehicle you will be in. You will spend more than 75% of your time awake in the vehicle, so it is pretty important.

Posted on Oct 28, 2024Hello Jesse
Thank you for the review and rating us.
We really apologize for mis-undestanding.
The picture in the program it explains about us but not the vehicle to be used.
We always send a message showing that you will be using g a 4x4 safari van or safari tour cruiser.
We also do an upgrade to have the cruiser on safari if one wants an upgrade which you didn't ask .
We respect any communication from our guests and we always ready to make guests feel comfortable.
If you could have asked on arrival trustme We could have upgraded you.
Thank you for the review and we will make everything right in the next safari.

Unforgettable and great Kenya Trip
On my first trip to Kenya, our guide Dennis was very helpful. He was very attentive, calm in any situation, and very friendly. The explanations on the safari were also polite and easy to understand, and he answered any questions we had. I would definitely like to use his tour again.
