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!

Travelling to Africa made super easy. Absolutely loved my trip. Value for money, for sure!
Planning a trip to an African country was not easy for me as I had never been out of Asia. However, Apodiformes and Sebastian (+254 794 332694) made it so easy.
Following are some of the things that made this trip extremely safe and wonderful for me
1. Sebastian knows the local people and the national parks really well and that helped us to spot more wildlife. We spotted almost all animals and even spotted a few endangered bird species.
2. I'd never seen a rainbow before. So I was very excited to see three rainbows in a day. Sebastian is really empathetic and understood by excitement for it, and waited for as long as I wanted. He is very patient.
3. Very professionally and kind service. They provide the cheapest rate with great service. I don't think anything negative comes to mind when I think about the trip. When we ran out of KES, he paid for us, made sure we didn't feel a slight bit of inconvenience and later helped us to get our USD converted.
I'm super happy with Sebastian's and Apodiformes' service! Keep up the good work

Best Experience, Fantastic and Smooth Service, Amazing Tour Guide
I was travelling from India with my sister and we were concerned about our safety. They assured us that it is going to be very safe and very reliable. They gave us the best rates and also helped us customize our tour as per our requirements. The communication was crystal clear and Silas was patient as we were asking questions. The service was fantastic. Our tour guide was Sebastian and he took care of us very well. This gentleman made sure that we did everything on our itinerary and also made sure that we got enough time to relax. We got so much local information about the tribes, local customs and the birds/animals in the safari. He took care of our dietary restrictions and made sure that we are always happy. I also noticed other operators as I was there and I believe none of the others got the kind of service that we got. This was truly my best trip and I would totally encourage you to go with them.

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.

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.

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!

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.

Reliable and Trustworthy
It was my first safari and I was looking forward to it. As I was travelling solo into foreign territory, Silas’s helpfulness and commitment to customer service helped me navigate the choices in customising an adventure I’ll never forget. I was expecting a guide but got a guardian brother in Michael, who had taken great care of me , attending to my needs and most importantly, managed to deliver the Big 5 sightings in my first safari. Truly remarkable and reliable. Thank you for the adventure of a lifetime. Couldn’t recommend highly enough.
Magical and safe safari
Very good organisation from picking from hôtel to train station and picking until Diani hôtel
Issahia is a very safe and good driver. We could see lions 1 meter from lion.
You can pay account from France without trouble. And the rest on the arrival Day. All the contract would be guaranted.
Thank you Silas and Issahia.

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
