Mt Kenya experience
I love mountain climbing. I took lots of preparation for this kenyan experience. Lots of consultations done , Online research. We came across Kenamoti tours online and they were our first contact tour company .
The team lead by Amos was detailed on our preparations on what we will be expecting for the mountain climbing. All the requirements logistics accommodations were explained to us prior.
The weather wasn’t hot but rather chill very calm and nice vegetation.
The support and dedication received from Kenamoti tour was exceptional.
I hope to come back soon again

Simple and affordable
Lovely experience in Amboseli and Maasai Mara.Almost the same when it comes to animals but I enjoyed Amboseli more.For a low budget that we had,I was lucky for the package offered by Kenamoti.

Amazing game drive experience
We just finished our last day of the game drive in kenya. the vehicle was in good condition ,amazing driver very professional and knowledgeable . Was lucky to see all the big five animals. Maasai culture was very fascinating. how they made fire the traditional way was something really awesome. my first try was tough but i finally did. So many gifts to bring back home.
excellent experience.

Unforgetable wildbeasts vs predators
The wildbeast vs predators was our best experience at Maasai mara. Sights of carnivires preying on the herds of wildbeasts at the banks of river Mara river were nerve rocking.Thanks to Kenamoti tours for the amazing experience and luxy accomodation

Great adventure and good transport
Even though we were a big team of eight,Kenamoti got us a landcruiser bug enough for all of us without being separated.We had a great adventure through the vast scenaries of Maasai Mara and Amboseli at an affordable fee

Beautiful Amboseli

Unprofessional tour operator
I would not recommend booking a safari through Kenamoti Tours.
We booked a 3-day Masai Mara safari through safaribooking.com (3-Day Masai Mara 4x4 Land Cruiser Safari). An important criterion for us was to have a real 4x4 safari vehicle (as opposed to minibuses). Therefore, we booked a safari that included the 4x4 vehicle.
Communication with the tour organization was mainly through a man named Amos. He was flexible with the tour dates, which was nice since our itinerary changed slightly.
However, when we got to his office to discuss final details and make payment, he wanted the money in cash, which we were not prepared for. During our trip we learned that it is common in Kenya to pay even larger amounts in cash. We were able to arrange with Amos to pay only a deposit in cash and pay the rest when we were picked up, which seemed more convenient.
On the day of the pickup, we were picked up around 9am by two people (the booked tour originally stated 7am) who drove us to the bus. It turned out that our safari vehicle was one of the minibuses and not the promised 4x4 vehicle. After some discussion with the staff, our only options were to cancel the tour (and probably not get our deposit back) or settle for what we got and pay the full amount. We decided to go ahead with the tour since we didn't have time to find another tour. When we arrived at the camp, it turned out to be a different camp than the tour description stated. Also, the tour description said that there was a maximum of 6 people per vehicle (we were 8), which was quite uncomfortable at times. According to the tour description, there was supposed to be another morning game drive on the third day. The driver informed us that the plans had been changed and instead of the game drive we would only have the option of visiting the Masai village (for $10). We were able to negotiate with the driver and he organized an alternative "plant medicine walk" with one of the Masai for free. In the end, it was a nice tour with good game drives, but the fact that we were tricked into a tour that was significantly cheaper than what we paid was very disappointing. Therefore, we give this tour provider a poor rating and would not recommend anyone to book with this provider. Amos is not able to properly plan the bookings he receives, which ends in chaos and disappointment.

Posted on Sep 27, 2022good morning traveler
this was a moment of miscommunication and understanding on the type of safari vehicle that was to be used during the entire safari
we explained the same to this group of travelers and they agreed to embark on the safari
As a matter of fact the travelers proceeded on with the safari only to be ambushed with this negative review
we appreciate your concerns and emotional feelings and wish to apologies for the inconvenienced caused as a result of the miscommunication
