Professional, passionate and reliable. Great safari experience!
5/5

We had a wonderful 3 day safari experience with Laxatrails Safaris. Firstly the communication up front with Peter, went really smooth. We received quick answers to our questions and our wishes were taken into account

On the day of pick up we’ve met with our tourguide, who was also named Peter. During our ride to the Maasai Mara Peter told us not only about the wildlife, but also about the Kenyan culture and habits. A nice introduction of the country!

The first day we went to a Maasai tribe near Enkorok Mara Camp (where we stayed). We were welcomed by the tribe with a tradional dance and then got a tour through the Maasai village by one of the members. He told us all about their traditions and how they life. A very interesting way of learning more about the Maasai tribe.

The next day we had a whole day of safari planned. We woke up early and headed to the Maasai Mara. Which was in one word wonderful! The park met all our expectations and thanks to Peter we’ve spotted more wildlife then we dreamed of. Lions, elephants, hippos, crocodiles, cheetahs, giraffes, baboons and many more. We even saw two cheetahs live in action hunting for some prey. During the game drive Peter gave us a lot of information about the different animals and birds along the way.

The last day we went for a boat drive at Lake Naivasha, which was a relaxing way of ending our three day safari, before being dropped off at our next hotel.

Thanks for the great experience Peter and Peter!

Exceeded expectations, truly 10/10
5/5

Before even arriving in Kenya, I felt at ease with the organisation and communication from Peter at Laxatrails. He was super friendly and very quick to reply. He catered to our every need and customised our safari perfectly so that we started in Nairobi and dropped off at Diani beach. The brochure provided was detailed and we were very excited for our trip.

From the moment we were picked up at the airport, we felt very welcomed and in great hands. We met our driver, also named Peter, and we set off (with some new and free safari hats!)

All the Sopa lodges we stayed in, at Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Amboseli, were unbelievable. Firstly the service was 5 stars. The rooms were exceptional, with great views and amenities. The food provided at the lodges was amazing. There was so much choice and it all tasted so good. The pools were a bonus.

For us, what made our trip extra special was our driver. Peter is just the best. From all the knowledge about the different animals, to his great driving, we loved every minute of it. He really made us feel special the entire time. One of our highlights from our 2 weeks in Kenya were the drinks we had with Peter on our last night of the safari. We even met for dinner in Nairobi a week after the safari finished. We will miss him and hope to see him again.

We will be recommending Laxatrails to everyone we know wanting to go on a safari. Hopefully we will be able to do this again, it was one of the best experiences of our lives and the fact that the planning, and entire safari went along seamlessly without any issues was so great. As a company I feel that you really know what you are doing and how to treat customers. I wish you all the best in the future and thanks for everything you have done for us.

Unforgettable and great Kenya Trip
5/5

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.

An excellent safari operator providing a great experience
5/5

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.
