Professional, passionate and reliable. Great safari experience!
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
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
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
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.

It is a fantastic experience as our first time traveling in Kenya, private tour is pretty flexible. Moses is a professional guide could always find wildlife . Sopa lodge is clean and tidy, in especial Nakuru sopa lodge with a lake view , bigger room space and luxurious bathroom . Hope to come again Africa ~

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!

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!

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.

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!
