Knowledgeable and patient.
Silas was a great communicator and organised everything for us. We had a great time! Kibo Safari Camp was a highlight.

Best trip ever!
I highly recommend Apodiformes Adventures! The team, Silas, Tom, and Michael, were very attentive, responsive to all communication, and provided 5-star service. I started communication with Silas months ago, and he was on top of everything--even helping us book our train tickets to Mombasa. Tom and Michael were our guides, and there were not afraid to get in the middle of the action. We saw all the big 5 animals, and they constantly checked on us.
We are planning another trip to visit Uganda, Rwanda, and Tanzania and will definitely use Apodiformes again. Working with them was easy, and I felt secure that everything was okay.

I got scammed out of my deposit by this company.
DO NOT BOOK. "Silas" scammed me. I communicated via the email initiated on safaribookings.com . He told me his credit card machine was down and to wire the money (not uncommon for African safaris to wire money). I double checked other people were satisfied with his safaris, everything seemed extremely legit (they also wired money)
When I wired it he said he never received it then said I should have sent it via credit card on his website. When I showed him the email thread, he confirmed that was indeed his email, but said the invoice never came from him. Yet he denied his email has been hacked.
I'm not sure what's going on with this company and I'm hoping my bank can stop the wire. I'm happy to share the screenshots of my conversation back and forth so you can protect yourself.
When I asked what had happened he immediately shut me down and told me he doesn't want my business. It seems odd to me that a legitimate business isn't concerned that their email has been hacked.
I will update this review once I have reached conclusion on this event. But I wanted this warning published ASAP so other people don't get scammed.

Posted on Apr 13, 2023I want to bring to your attention the issue of Mr. IAN SEWELL
Ian sent a direct enquiry regarding a tour he was interested in booking with us. We shared all the information until it reached a point he was to pay.
We receive all our payments through the website where payments are made through the link below:
https://apodiformesadventures.com/pay/
We shared this link with Ian but he purports to have received another email instructing him to pay through some funny bank account . The Bank whose account number he claims to have paid through is in Nigeria while we are based in Nairobi, Kenya.
I have asked Ian several times where he found the invoice but he cannot answer amicably. Ian claims our emails were hacked of which I have requested him to cooperate with our IT SPECIALISTS to find the source of the hack. This has been in vain since IAN doesnt want to cooperate . He nolonger responds to whatsapp messages and emails, a clear indication that he has not taken this issue seriously.
From our own preliminary investigations where we involved highly trained IT personell, It is clear our emails were never hacked.
We value our clients so much and for this reason we take issues raised by IAN seriously. We will continue digging deep into the issue and still urge IAN to cooperate with us in the investigations if it is true he was genuine in his allegations.

Great experience
Apodiformes did good job organising our entire trip and gave us the perfect driver who took up all our requests and fulfilled it.
The driver Tom was really patient with kids and I never seen him getting anger. We fulfilled all our requests.
I highly recommend Apodiformes for booking Kenya safari Trip.

Amazing Tour Guide! Thank you Martin :)
Our guide MARTIN was just AMAZING. Fun, on time, reliable, knowledgeable, added extra stops to our itinary!
Thank you for this wonderful holidays.
We went for a 5-day safari with Apodiformes. Planning everything from Europe, I thought would be a challenge, but it was really easy as the company was really reactive and answering our questions.
Only thing was that we were told to pay in USD and not that certain notes were not accepted so had lost a bit in change on the day.

Kenya is even better than we expected: a beautiful with amazing people.
We have just returned from a fantastic adventure which was a safari in Kenya including Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru. The services provided by Apodiformes Adventures were good and as promised in the contracted package and a good value for our money. Everything worked well, the hotels were good and we felt safe and comfortable the entire week of the tour. Our guide, Isaiah, was excellent: competent in locating the animals and pleasant to be with (something important when you spend 7 days driving in a van). As a suggestion to future travelers, we recommend avoiding Lake Naivasha and enjoying an additional day in the incredible Masai Mara.

An Outstanding Experience!
All the process was smooth and easy with Apodiformes, from the itinerary definition to the Safari itself.
Communication was very good, with Silas making sure that everything was perfect.
Our Guide Loi was amazing and able to get us to the best views, always being kind and patient. He is an expert professional and well instructed guide, being also a teacher about Kenyan Wild Life!
We had a 8-day Tour, including Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli.
We strongly recommend Apodiformes for a Safari with your family.

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

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!
