Amazing safaris which exceeded our expectations!
We had an amazing time seeing so many of God’s uniquely created animals! Joe, our driver, was so informative and really made an effort to tailor our Safari experience. Joe always tried to position our 4x4 vehicle to get fantastic photos! We were blessed to see the Big 5, over a dozen lions, a clan of 14 hyenas and a troop of baboons with babies up close. I highly recommend upgrading to a 4x4 rather than a van especially in the Masai Mara. Perminus was very professional and timely in his responses when booking and planning the details of our trip. He and Joe even coordinated a last minute change to our itinerary which we thoroughly enjoyed.

Africa Marvel Tours, and Joe our guide, were everything we expected and hoped for.
We found Africa Marvel Tours easy to deal with right from the planning stage. They provided someone to help us sort out logistics for the few days before the Safari started (we had decided to arrive in Nairobi early, to acclimatize and be sure to not be delayed by potential flight delays.) Our guide, Joe, picked us up at the hotel on the first day of the Safari - everything went smoothly as planned. The accommodations at Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli were all wonderful choices - lovely accommodations and great food. (We loved the "tents".) Joe was attentive "just enough" and not overly, but always happy to discuss options and plans for the following day. He was a great driver and guide, treated the animals with respect, and was very pleasant to be with for the week. I would definitely ask for Joe as our guide were I to do this adventure again. He was knowledgable and paid attention to what the other drivers were reporting so we could take in as many sightings as possible. It was an epic experience! I highly recommend Africa Marvel Tours, and Joe specifically as a driver/guide.

Great experience, best tour guide ever
We did a 6-day Safari end of november. Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli and Taita Hills.
Africa Marvel gives great value for money. Good en fast email communication with the office. Joe, our driver was the best ever. Knows all the good spots for game watching and tells just enough information. Very friendly and drives very good.
Resorts were great, Enkokok (Masai Mara) is a bit basic, Kibo (Amboseli) was amazing.
Note: Taita / Salt Lick after rain-season is a waste of money with 0 game.

Very good and honest operator
We had the opportunity to come to Kenya and the chance to choose this excellent tour operator.
They were very responsive to all our messages. We had a gift at the beginning of the trip which follow me everywhere now and remind me of Kenya.
We choose a 5 days trip with 3 national parks ( Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli). The selection for the hotel was perfect for all the trip.
Our driver Ronny was amazing. His driving was safe, and we can feel that he is passionate about his job. We had such a wonderful time and memories thanks to him.
I can only recommend you this tour.

Amazing 3 days
All the communication and planning was so easy with Perminus replying to emails so fast and we were able to plan safari what fits perfectly our family with three kids under 10 years.
Our driver Boniface was really friendly and a good driver we felf safety all way. He was taking us to nice spots we were able to see so many different animals and he was telling us about animals and answering for all our questions. Everything went just as planned. It was an amazing two nights in Masai Mara.
I would for sure choose Africa Marvel tours again for the next trip and I can recommend it to everybody.

Amazing Kenya Safari tour with Africa Marvel!
A wonderful adventure, made possible by the awesome Africa Marvel Tours team! I started planning the trip by contacting several tour operators. Before any other company even responded to my queries, I had already exchanged multiple messages with Perminus from Africa Marvel. Perminus provided helpful tips (and detailed itinerary proposals), always answering our questions almost immediately (amazing how timely his responses were!). He made excellent hotel and itinerary recommendations in line with our preferences, while keeping our budget in mind. With Perminus’ help, we settled on a 6-day trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli.
Once we arrived in Nairobi, Perminus continued to provide assistance even before our safari started.
Once on safari, Joe was an awesome guide and safe driver, and a great travel companion for our family. He recommended (and then facilitated) additional things along the way (e.g. a visit to Navaisha) and he made sure that we saw the Big Five (and many more animals) by taking us to the right places at the right times. Bottom line: We would recommend Africa Marvel to anyone planning a Kenya safari adventure!

Simply amazing, cannot wait to do this again!
My husband and I absolutely loved this trip. Joe was our driver and he was great. We spend 8 days on safari and enjoyed every minute of it. We saw so much wildlife even though it rained on us some days. Joe helped us get some great pictures and footage. We worked with Perminus on planning the trip and he was very responsive and helpful. We had to make some last minute changes to our trip because we decided to not go to Diani beach and instead add more safari days. Both Joe and Perminus were very flexible and were able to make the necessary adjustments to make it happen. We were very happy with this company and we cannot wait to do it again, we will be requesting Joe as our safari guide next time we go to Kenya :)

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.

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.

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,
