SafariBookings made my Kenya safari amazing! The website is easy to use, with tons of tour options and honest reviews from travelers like me. I loved how simple it was to find a great deal—their “Best Price Guarantee” saved me money. The guides on parks and weather helped me plan perfectly. Booking was a breeze, and the operator they connected me with was fantastic—quick replies and a trip that blew me away. I’m so happy with SafariBookings’ service; it’s a trustworthy site that made my safari dream come true. I’d use it again in a heartbeat!

AMAZING Experience AND VERY PROFESSIONAL
The whole trip went on very well beyond our expectations as thought. We were very nervous but this was futile since we were surprised by the kind of professionalism in this company. From day one to the last day nothing was taken for granted. Our choice to pick this company was motivated by the communication speed and professionalism in responding to emails and voice calls.james Joel demonstrated high level of professionalism

Beautiful coast
The cruise across Mombasa marine national park and reserve was therapeutic. With attractive palm coconut trees swaying along the white Sandy beach of the warm azure ocean . Bonfire nights at the Tsavo national park was a remarkable experience The kenamoti team was friendly, hospitable and knowledgeable of the sites. Thank you kenamoti for your hospitality and amazing experience.

The best experience ever
First of all kenamoti Tours is the best of the best. I loved their services. The money I used to be honest was worth the paying. There was nice accomodation. The food was sweet.
The driver who took us through our vaccation was the best ever.

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

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
