Isaiah was an awesome guide who made the experience unforgetable!
We booked with Silas who really worked worked with me to achieve the custom itinerary we wanted, including a stay in a Maasai village and other off-the-beat path activities during a 12 day trip. Isaiah was our guide and he made everything so easy and fun! He took care of everything to make it the trip of our dreams. Being two younger women, he were never uncomfortable or feeling unsafe while in Kenya with much thanks to Isaiah.

A fantastic safari experience with memories of a lifetime
We had the safari adventure of a lifetime, 4 wonderful game reserves in 8 days. Michael our guide was excellent driving us comfortably in sometimes challenging conditions on roads and tracks around Kenya. He was very skilled at finding the best wildlife photo opportunities and was always planning ahead to avoid any overcrowded areas of the parks
The accommodations and guest services and meals where all absolutely perfect for us and the people who worked in all aspects of the safari hospitality industry extremely welcoming and helpful beyond expectations
The wildlife viewing was superb with some unbelievable close up encounters !!
Great value for money and overall service from the first contact enquiry to the last day drop off at airport
I highly recommend Silas and his ultra efficient organization skills and Michael’s patience and general guidance absolutely top class all round !!

Amazing 7 day safari in Kenya
We chose apodiformes adventures for our safari honeymoon as they were an affordable and local Kenyan safari company, we were not disappointed!
The communication from Silas was great from day 1, he answered all of our questions before and after booking very promptly. We were picked up from the airport by John our driver and Silas was also there to greet us. John was very friendly, knowledgeable and a great guide to spend the week with.
We did a 7 day trip travelling to Maasai Mara, lake naivasha, lake Nakuru and amboseli. John was with us throughout and was very relaxed so we could change plans and start/stop when we wanted to. He also got us back to the airport on the last day with lots of time to spare.
John made us feel safe and did an outstanding job at looking after us, he made sure we saw and did everything we wanted to.
We would highly recommend apodiformes adventures for your safaris and hope to go on another one day!

Good quality, communication and value, and especially an amazing safari experience
First of all, the communication with Silas was very good, every question we had was well answered and quickly any time a day. Silas was very helpful.
Our guide Kevin made sure that our 7-days safari trip was a unique experience. He is a young and energic guide who tried his best to show us all that safari has to offer. He knew well every place we visited - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli. He was communicating with other guides to gather info where the animals are and promptly got us there even in hard conditions through mud and water but never risking excessively. He made sure our needs were fulfilled.
Overall I can rate this experience with 5* and we are decided to visit safari again one day.. maybe with Apodiformes Adventures too! Asante sana from Slovakia.
P.S.: We decided to make a few videos from our trip and also to review the Sopa Lodges we stayed in, so if anyone is interested, they can be found on our YouTube channel: https://youtube.com/@JourneyingTogetherJuliaSimone?si=8Q89fGzx-pqG_4jh

Prefect from A to Z. Very concerned to deliver.
We were a group of 4 that did a 13-day wildlife and beach holiday tour through Apodiformes Adventures.
Prior to our journey we had been in contact with Silas, that replied promptly to all our questions.
We arrived in Nairobi in the evening of the 13th of Jan. On arrival there was a long queue at immigrations with only 3 out of 14 desks open for service. It took us around 45 minutes to clear through. Not a good impression for first timers visiting Kenya.
We had opted to stay 3 nights in Nairobi, prior to our safari and decided for a driver from the hotel to pick-up us up at the airport. It took some time to spot the driver as all the drivers are waiting outside the terminal for their pick-ups. A good thing to have in mind for future arrivals.
After 3 days or on 16th we were promptly picked up at our hotel by our driver/guide, Nelson, that remained with us throughout our journey.
Off we went to a mall and met with Silas and paid the remainder of the fee for the trip.
Next there was quite a drive to our first stop Enkorok Mara Camp, adjacent to Maasai Mara.
The accommodation and food were ok.
Maasi Mara park was just fantastic and being able to see all those animals close up was quite an experience.
Our next stop was Lake Nakuru Lodge, that was excellent accommodation and good food.
There we did the Lake Nakuru park that was ok, seeing rhinos and other animals close up.
Off we went and to Amboseli National Park were stayed in Kibo Safari Camp. The stay food there was the best out the three camps we had stayed in.
As for animal sightings Maasai Mara stood out in comparison to the 3 parks visited.
Our last on the safari our driver/guide Nelson, took us to Emali train station were embarked to Mombasa via Pinewood Beach Resort, were we stayed for 6 nights.
The stay there was outstanding in all aspects.
On our last day at Pinewood we were met a driver that took us to Mombasa train station were we took the train to Nairobi via home.
We give Apodiformes Adventures our highest rating because.
• Communication throughout the planning stage was excellent.
• All questions were answered promptly.
• Time schedules were spot on and all that had been scheduled was there.
• All accommodations were good even though some was better than others.
• Our driver/guide Nelson was outstanding and did the utmost to deliver.
• We were in good hands throughout the journey.
In a nutshell we highly recommend Apodiformes Adventures.

Professional, Friendly, and Highly Experienced
We booked a 6 day private safari with Apodiformes Adventures and would highly recommend them! Both the tour consultant, Silas, and our tour guide, Isaiah, were professional and made sure our trip was comfortable and memorable. We visited Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli which was quite a bit of driving but enjoyable getting to see the diverse landscape of Kenya. We really enjoyed eating our meals with our tour guide where we could plan out the day ahead and get to know them personally. Our guide recommended we get to the Maasai Mara park gate right when it opens which meant a very early wake up. We listen to their advice, which resulted in us seeing big five on our first day on safari which was incredibly lucky!

Great holiday. Good value.
Silas responds to queries very quickly no matter what time of the day or night. He has a great team of drivers and guides. They did their outmost to make sure we had an amazing holiday. Silas planned the best itinerary for us with comfortable camps and nice hotels at a very good price. Our safari driver Loi was the most punctual and knowledgeable. Likewise, Joseph in Mombasa was very professional. They made our family holiday special.

Authentic, dedicated, and professional Tour Operator knows how to do all the details
We'd highly recommend Apodiformes Adventures for your safari to Kenya! Our tour guide and driver, Loi, was dedicated to every detail of the experience for us. He ensured we had everything that we needed, communicated really well about the details of the day, changes in plans, what we were doing, where we were going, details as they emerged, plans for the next day, etc. During game drives, he was constantly monitoring the radio and making absolutely sure that we could see all the big 5 and other animals during our entire trip. He always positioned the vehicle in the best spots and made sure that we could get good angles for photos and viewing. Loi was awesome and we'd highly recommend him for your safari. At the end of the trip, we stayed in Diani Beach at the Pinewood Resort and have to say that this was one of the best resort experiences we've had in our lives. It was half-board and had really well-made food, attentive staff, was clean, had animals on the property (monkeys, tortoises, weaver birds, crabs walking around, bush babies, etc.) it was such a beautiful end to the trip and we'll treasure all of our memories from this safari.

Communication and trust were above and beyond for Apodiformes Adventures.
Would highly recommend Apodiformes Adventures for your adventures. We booked a combo safari/beach trip with them for our first ever visit to Africa and Kenya. The value was very good, but more than anything communication and trust throughout the entire process was top notch. After every check in, flight, transfer etc they were quick to reach out via text or a phone call to make sure we were safe and happy! ,John, our guide/driver for the safari quickly became a trusted friend!

Exceeded our expectations
Our experience with Apodiformes Adventures exceeded our expectations on every level. Our experienced guide/driver, John, was incredible, top notch! We enjoyed learning from him, joking around, and sharing stories. Asante, Asante John! We spent 3 nights in the Maasai Mara at the Loyk Mara Luxury Camp and 1 night at Ziwa Bush Lodge- would highly recommend both, they were amazing. We booked with Fredrick and from the very beginning, communication and customer service was clear and timely. The Apodiformes team was committed to making sure our trip was perfect. We are finished with the 4 day safari and have begun the second part of our trip- 3 nights at Diani Sea Resort. All arranged by Apidoformes Adventures. Our trip has been incredible and I would highly recommend using this company for a Kenyan safari. If you’re lucky, John will be your guide/driver!
