Great 5-days safari experience!
Booked the trip on relatively short notice (3 weeks ahead) based on some internet research and SafariBookings reviews.
The upfront communication with the Marvel Tours booking office was smooth and the immediate feedback and advice on individual tour options was triggering my choice for Africa Marvel Tours amongst others.
From the pick-up upon arrival at Jomo Kenyatta Airport to the drop off at our hotel in Nairobi at the end of the tour, we were in good hands of our driver and tour guide John. The trip was truly memorable for the entire family and our kids (10 and 5 years of age) had a great time.
5-days, including Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha & Mount Longonot is a great mix of different nature, flora and fauna.

Very nice safari, good choice of best lodges
Very nice safari, good choice of best lodges. We've managed to see so many animals thanks to our guide/driver Ian. Ian was very helpful and pleasant all other the trip. I strongly recommend Africa Marvel Tour, probably the best choice for the price. Communication with the desk was also very good before and during the trip. you can customize your trip with some extra activities like horse riding and bike self tour for example.

GREAT Safari
Africa Marvel Tours provide us an unforgettable 3days 2 nights safari in Tsavo east and Salt Lick. We saw many wild animals in their natural enviroment and we need to thanx also our guide Mike who makes everything possible(sometimes impossible too) for us to find and see those amazing animals we were looking for. Except safari we spent also graetful time in Ashnil Aruba Lodge and Salt Lick Lodge where we found nice accomodation with delucious foods. Really great time in Tsavo.

Marvel Tour Africa provided exceptional service for our honeymoon safari. They helped us book camps
My wife and I recently had the pleasure of embarking on our dream honeymoon safari, thanks to the exceptional services provided by Marvel Tour Africa. We were enchanted by the sheer beauty of the African wilderness and the seamless arrangements made by the travel agency.
From the moment we contacted Marvel Tour Africa, their professionalism and attentiveness were evident. They assisted us in booking the perfect camps, ensuring that our accommodations matched our preferences and needs. The agency also impressed us with their transparent pricing, offering a fair and competitive package that suited our budget.
During our journey, we encountered an unforeseen issue with our flight arrangements. Despite this challenge falling outside their direct responsibility, Marvel Tour Africa went above and beyond to assist us. Their team promptly stepped in and liaised with the airlines on our behalf, alleviating the stress of the situation and ensuring a smooth resolution. Their dedication to customer satisfaction truly exceeded our expectations.
In conclusion, we wholeheartedly recommend Marvel Tour Africa to anyone seeking a remarkable and unforgettable safari experience. Their exceptional customer service, fair pricing, and willingness to go the extra mile make them an outstanding choice for travel arrangements. We are grateful for the incredible memories they helped create during our honeymoon, and we look forward to booking our future adventures with them.
Thank you, Marvel Tour Africa, for making our honeymoon safari an absolute delight!

Definitely recommend this company
We took the 4-Day Tsavo East, Amboseli and Saltlick Mid Range tour option for the two of us. Communication with Africa Marvel Tours was excellent and we were able to pay partly in cash at the beginning of the tour.
Our tour guide Robert picked us up from train station and off we went. The safari exceeded my expectations - we saw so many animals, enjoyed 4 PM tea every day and were overall excited. The accommodation was always inside national parks or a kilometre away from the gates. The food was great, too.
Taita Hills was breathtaking, and the Salt Lick Lodge was definitely the highlight of our trip, with comfy rooms and elephants coming to the artificial waterhole next to the rooms. Kibo camp offered very cosy tent-houses and was very pleasant overall (it was the one outside of the gate, but that in itself made no difference). Ashnil Aruba was inside the park and animals would come all the way to the camp fence (we could watch them through the windows), but our room lacked proper air conditioning, it was too hot to sleep and massive grasshoppers kept intruding through the drain grates in the bathroom.
The company offers half a litre of water per day and hotels provide water bottles as well, however there is definitely a need for more - we recommend to take extra bottles yourself. We had a safari van and it was perfectly fine, but a short person might have trouble reaching to see over the roof (165 cm was comfortable).
We highly recommend Robert - he took great care of us. He promised I would see hundreds of elephants and he delivered. He had no problems staying put for an hour because I saw elephants very closely and just wanted to look at them. He always made sure we had the best place for taking pictures and really took extra care to make sure we could see even rarer animals (like rushing to see lions mentioned in the radio or looking out for animals and spotting them for us). We also enjoyed that he was polite - he left space for elephants to cross and made sure other tourist vans also would get a good view. He was accommodating for our needs and took us to the pharmacy when needed, and didn't see a problem in an early morning ride after a long driving day and a short night. We overcame our English barrier (I am not native) easily as well.
Overall, it was a great experience and we definitely recommend this company, especially Robert as the guide-driver.

Amazing experience in Tsavo East and Tahita Hills.
Thank you Mercy and Francis for making this experience just great! Communications with Africa Marvel Tours was perfect, after checking many other we definitely trusted Mercy and team for her availability and fast reactions.
First hours in Tsavo our driver Francis brought us to a spot where lions could be and we were so lucky to see a lioness right in front of us!!!
We slept at Sentrim camp on a beautiful open view builded tent, food was amazing and the private environment really resonated with the experience.
That day we also spotted very close by hyenas, buffalos, zebras, giraffes, elephants.
Second day we begin seeing 3 sleeping lions and many others before going to Tahita Hills where we really enjoyed the more green areas and variety of landscape. But the best part was on our last day where another lioness crossed our path and was so close to our jeep.
Highly reccommed to upgrade on a open roof Land Cruiser and to have a private safari experience,

Excellent
It was very easy to book our safari with Africa Marvel tour. Mercy responded quickly and provided all the information about the Safari. Our guide Francis is excellent. He has great knowledge and expertise. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the safari.

Reliable
I chose Africa Marvel Tours after contacting multiple providers because their communication was the most professional. They provided a detailed itinerary which we stuck to. The safari was a 5-day trip during which we visited Masai Mara, a Masai village, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli.
Our guide Joe was very knowledgeable - he answered all of our questions about tons of different animal species and the Kenyan culture. He also provided additional suggestions during the trip (we added a boat tour to an island where the movie Out of Africa was shot) and fought traffic to get us to Amboseli in time before the park closing. Overall, all communication was clear and we felt like we were in good hands, so we would strongly recommend this company.
On the itinerary itself: it involves a lot of driving, so if I were to do it again, I would consider either adding one more day to the safari, or skipping one of the national parks (probably Amboseli because it is the farthest one and the Lake Nakuru Lodge is just amazing, so it would be nice to spend another night there).
Note: all safari land cruisers (upgraded vehicles) are customized, so even if they technically have AC, those ACs were designed for smaller vehicles before they got expanded, so it won't be of much use.
