Super helpful, flexible and willing to make changes.
Silas was very helpful from the start and made planning the trip very easy. I was on a solo trip and had some specific requirements but he was very accommodating of my itinerary.
The safari itself was an almost transformative experience! All the guides and drivers were amazing and go out of their way to help you have the best experience. The stay in the all the hotels was really good too. Special mention for the Lake Naivasha Sopa lodge.
All things considered, it was a wonderful experience and will definitely recommend Silas and Apodiformes to everyone.

Very helpful really go's the extra mile
Above and beyond our expectations
We have just come back from a safari trip with apodiformes and I have to say Silas (the owner) couldn't do enough for us
We where let down last minute by somebody else so I had to scramble around to organise this trip so I was messaging Silas all times of the day, evenings, weekend and he always came straight back to me with help and advice
He came to the airport to pick us up at about 11pm so we didn't get ripped off by a taxi then picked us up at 6am the next day so we could start the safari
At the end of the safari we got a train to mombasa.we had two bottles of expensive whisky with us (bought in duty free)which we didn't know isn't allowed on the train.so the driver took them to Nairobi gave them to Silas who stored them for a week then drove to the airport to meet us
I mean this guy REALLY go's the extra mile
Oh and the safari everything we could have hoped for got to see the big five

Quick, flexible, trusted operator! We had a great trip :)
We went on a safari (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli) & for 3 days to the beach at the end of October 2022. Silas from Apodiformes Adventures was very communicative, prepared for us 2 alternative offers and followed up before our trip with questions regarding our arrival.
Our guide & driver was Loi and he was great! He was driving safely, shared with us many facts regarding animals, he was great at spotting the animals (when driving he told us there is a rhino in the bushes and we needed to stop & use binoculars to see it

Amazing
Our experience with our tour guide Nelson was amazing from start to finish. Once in a lifetime experience, highly recommended from two experienced world travelers.
Nelson was very knowledgeable and friendly and kept his professionalism throughout our trip. We have been to Kenya twice before and this was by far the best trip. Nelson went above and beyond to ensure was amazing and memorable.

Very accommodating operator that made it a truly magical experience
First and foremost, finding the right tour operator was overwhelming until my partner and I came across Apidoformes. Silas was very responsive and helpful in selecting the right package making sure we would get the best value and experience. Although our safari started the morning after we landed in Nairobi, Silas picked us up from the airport and dropped as off at our hotel. We chose a 3 night private safari package at a luxury resort (Sarova Game Camp) inside the Masai Mara park.
The next morning, one of the friendliest persons I’ve met was awaiting us for our safari, Tom. Our safari wouldn’t have been the same without Tom. He made us feel safe, made sure we had the best time and that our wishes came through the. And we were lucky, we saw the big 5 practically every day, thanks to Tom.
I highly recommend taking a private tour like we did because this way you get the most flexibility and you can really get most out of your safari. Sunrise and sunset game drives were truly magical. And on our last day we saw a rhino up close, the cherry on top of the cake.
The resort and the rooms were beautiful. It was clean, and both adventurous and luxurious. The resort staff had the most welcoming smiles and knew our names after the first meal. It felt like we have been staying there for weeks but in reality only a couple days. The restaurant buffet was outstanding (big compliments to the kitchen!).
Three nights was sufficient for us but we could have easily added another three. I can only recommend Apodiformes and big Tom!

If you want to see the whole BIG 9 then only with Apodiformes
We were on safari with Apodiformes beginning from Nakuru and Masai Mara in Kenya, then Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tsvangirai in Tansania and then Amboseli in Kenya. We can only advise doing safari, specially require Tom if you want to animals from close distance. You will have to wake up early but morning is the best to spot the animals. We had excellent communication with Silas (the owner), quick and proper. We have chosen Apodiformes from top 10 companies on safaribooking.com and can only recommend. Everything was on time and on schedule, suggested lodges (Serena and Sarova) were totally ok, good food and comfortable accomodation.
A caring , competent,personal local tour operator
We hired Apodiformes for a 6 day safari tour and 3 day stay at Diani Beach. It was phenominal! Silas made sure we were taken care of in every aspect of our trips. He also arranged beaufiful superior accommodations everyhere we went,each with a beautiful swimming pool to enjoy at the end of each day. The food at each of these places was incredible,smorgasborg style with incredible choices. Our safari guide,Maxwell was an absolute gem. He was honest ,hard working and diligent in making sure we saw everything. He stopped whenever we needed and made sure we had lots of time to see animals and birds closely. He was kind ,personable and fun to be with and most importantly an excellent and careful driver over some pretty challenging roads. We highly recommend this tour agency not only because they are local but because they give superior personal and much cheaper tours over the many international companies like Go etc
Do not book a tour through an agency in your own country. You end up paying up to 300 percent more. Book on line a great local tour group like Apodiformes . You will not be disappointed and you are directly helpng the locals. Thanks Silas and Maxwell for such the wonderful and memorable experience you gave us. We will recommend you to all our friends

Amazing experience!
We just came back from Kenya and I wanted to share our experience with you.
Firstly we were in contact with Silas, and he was always very responsive. It literally took him only few minutes to answer us, which we appreciate.
Our tour guide Isaiah is a great guy, after 6 days we’ve spent together he became more like family member! He’s a great driver too, I’m usually quite nervous on a road, but Isaiah had our full trust. He’s very punctual and has an excellent sense of humor, we enjoyed going on a safari with him and couldn’t wish for a better tour guide! We’ve seen all the “big five” and the “ugly five”, Isaiah has a good eye and was very motivated to show us as many animals as possible. We also got to learn a lot about animals behavior and their natural habitat.
Thank you, Apodiformes Adventures for an unforgettable memories of our lives. We hope to be back one day!

Amazing safari experience
Apidiformes was the best choice for safari. We booked it for 8 days and we end out trip at Diani.
First of all Silas was always very responsive and in case we need anything we could get in touch any minute. Also he arranged transfers from the airport. What was more impressive, that even when our safari tour ended, we were heading to Diani, he bought us train tickets and arranged transfer in Mombasa!
Our tour guide Freddy is the best! We’ve seen all the “big five” and the “ugly five”. It was really nice that he was very motivated to show us everything. We drove a lot but we saw even more! All hotels were really good and comfortable.
With Apodiformes we feel safe, we saw a lot and we have an unforgettable memories! Highly recommended!
Thank you
