Great organisation, good hotels/locations and a very good driver /guide. Good car e
Good value for money, hotels exceeded our expectations- also they listened to our wishes (quiet rooms). Also good driving by our guide. Always on time, friendly.

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

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!

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 !!

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.
