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,

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.
