Incredible adventure from the best tour operator!
5/5

In over 60 years of traveling across six continents I have never had an experience to match that provided by Silas and Eyezzoh of Apodiformes Adventures. We booked an 11 day private safari for Samburu, Lake Naivasha, Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo East/West. The service, friendliness, flexibility and availability at all times were beyond 5 star. Before and after the actual booking all queries were dealt with promptly and professionally. On arrival we were met by Silas where Eyezzoh was introduced as our driver/guide. As we departed Silas said to Eyezzoh, “…show them everything.” My word, didn’t he just!! Fantastic! Amazing!! We were treated to a visit beyond expectations with several extra stops at sites not advertised on the webpage. Amongst others a quick stop on the equator, a stop at a Masai village and a lovely stop at Hells Gate where one can take a bike ride beside the animals and home of the real Elsa the lion (the basis for ‘Born Free’). By now Eyezzoh was calling me dad and I calling him son such was his friendliness. We chatted about the safari and with his advice decided to change the itinerary to replace Tsavo West with Lake Nakuru. Silas was notified and he immediately made the necessary changes of accommodation and schedule. The change was seamless for us and extra special as we have a Kenyan friend with family in Nakuru. It’s worth mentioning that each of the parks chosen for us had a distinct character and frequently a unique species present. The extra expense and time needed to visit multiple parks is well worth it as is the private tour option. Aside from Lake Naivasha, two nights were spent at each location in a variety of accommodations. Staff everywhere were incredibly friendly and helpful often taking time to spend time talking to us or taking us on little walks. At Man Eaters Lodge the security chap took us down the river where hippo, crocodiles, lion and leopard can be found. Sadly our last day arrived and a last minute mistake on my part occurred where we needed to arrange an early morning transfer to the airport. Late on the Sunday afternoon Silas managed to organise the transfer. Hakuna matata! He also arranged our overnight stay in Nairobi with meal. Previously Eyezzoh, “the best guide in Africa”, had taken our van off to repair a fault while we had our dinner to avoid us missing any time the next day. Service from both the like of which we have never had the good fortune to enjoy previously. Incredible!! We cannot recommend Apodiformes any higher for any African adventure and would certainly go straight back to them. Asante sana Apodiformes!!

Well organized
5/5

I took a trip from Nairobi to Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru using Apodiformes. Silas was a good communicator and everything was organized exactly as described in the itinerary. The hotels were really nice, much better than I was expecting, and you will definitely see a lot of animals. My tour guide, Dickson, knew a lot about the area and the animals and was also really good at spotting animals at a long distance and then being able to find a close viewing point for amazing pictures. Highly recommend this company!

Best trip ever!
5/5

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.

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 :)
5/5

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.
5/5

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!
5/5

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
5/5

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
