Great!
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip, it’s hard not to. Ken, our guide, was excellent and with good humour. He made sure that we did everything we wanted, and tried his best to make sure we had a good view of all of the animals. He even detoured to KFC for us on the way back to the airport. He was very easy to communicate with.
We got to see pretty much every possible animal, except for the rhino. We got to see early morning lion hunting, cheetahs, giraffes and elephants all up close.
If you book this tour, definitely pay the extra for the hot air ballon excursion, it’s worth it! The Maasai village visit was interesting, but be careful at the end as they will likely heavily pressure to buy souvenirs at ridiculously high prices, just be strong and say no or negotiate to something more reasonable.
Before you arrive at the lodge, make sure you have small notes for tips, as you will probably need them here and there. And when booking a lodge, be sure to ask how far it is from the entrance to the national park. Also, we paid extra for the open air car for the safari, which had no windows. We felt this was much better and we were able to see everything much clearer and also had lots of fresh air. The only downside is that you get very dusty by the end of the day, but it’s a once in a lifetime opportunity so I found it to be a no brainer.
Overall, this company were very reliable and easy to deal with. We were picked up from the airport by their driver Tony, who was very nice. Fred, our liaison for the booking, met us upon check in at the hotel in Nairobi to collect the rest of the payment. Then our guide, Ken, drove us to our lodge and took care of the rest. I would definitely recommend this company to others.

Great on ground support from Apodiformes - we had a wonderful experience
The tour was well curated & Fredrick our operator, made sure it was customized to accomodate our requirements. Our guides were well trained & went the ecxtra mile to ensure we had great sightings. Accomodation & meals were comfortable & we enjoyed a special sundowner in the bush. The travel to Mombasa required travel at odd hours & was quite a long train journey, but we signed up for it for the beautiful beach views! Overall I'd highly recommed this operator as they are always available to support & deliver as per plan.

Incredible, well looked after and genuine!
We did a 4D 3N safari around amboselli and tsavo east with our amazing and knowledgeable guide, Sebastian.
The operator was flexible in tailoring our itinerary, the accommodation was excellent (Sopa lodge) and our guide was an excellent person to show us around - he went above and beyond in spotting animals, was friendly, accommodating and funny!

Sebastian was great!
Our tour guide Sebastian was great! He answered all our questions, made sure we were comfortable and took us on the most amazing drives! A real highlight of a lifetime. He spotted 5 lionesses on our drive back which was incredible.

Sebastian was amazing, very attentive and professional.
I thoroughly enjoyed my tour with Sebastian. The accommodation and safari were very well planned. Sebastian took very good care of us and made the experience very enjoyable. I’ve done many tours and he is the best tour guide I’ve had. Thank you!!

A reliable, but not impeccable partner
The experience has overall been very good. My guide and driver, Nelson, is an incredible person with deep expertise and knowledge. Since it was a private tour and I was on my own, I had a very tailored and unforgettable experience.
Communication with Apodiformes has been good and the people very friendly.
Why 4 stars? Because unfortunately, although I had booked and it was confirmed to me that I was going to stay at the Mara Serena lodge, a month later Apodiformes informed me that Mara Serena was booked out and I had to go somewhere else. I ended up at the Keekorok, which has been a very good option, but the initial surprise really wasn’t and I wasn’t given any discount either.
Very well organized and friendly
The safari trip overall was amazing. We got to see all types of wild animals. We also got to learn about the tribe culture and were introduced to one. The tour person is very friendly (George was our tour guide. Very nice person. I would pick him again if I ever go to a safari adventure!). I would highly recommend picking Apodiformes Adventures for the best experience.

The best family adventure ever!!
I have to say I did have some concerns when booking this tour but once we met our guide Kevin all the concerns melted away!
Me and my family enjoyed a truly one in a life time holiday with apodiformes, everything was as they said and very punctual.
No hiccups and all went to plan.
We stayed at three camps enkorok mara, lake Nakuru and kibo safari camp. They all offered something different and we were very well looked after.
The animals were in abundance and we even found the big 6!
Thanks Silas and Kevin for making our trip truly amazing and we will be back!!

Easy to communicate
The 10-day in Kenya Safari is awesome.
Fredrick is a good tour organizer. He answered our queries quickly and replied to us quickly.
Our tour guide Wycliffe is fantastic. He is patient and detail-oriented. He knows a lot about animals. We can tell he is experienced as he has done this job from 2006. We enjoy the safari and we would love to recommend to our friends.

Book Book Book !!!
Frederick and his team are great for organising tailor made tours and safaris to suit your every need. What ever you want he will arrange. We had a great 5 days in Amboseli NP based in Kibo SC and our driver/tour guide Kevin was exceptional. Don’t look anywhere else, Apodiformes is the best. Asante Sana !!!
