Incredible experience, delivered by an incredible tour provider!
5/5

Just back after a brilliant 9 day adventure with Apodiformes!

Silas (the owner) communication was spot on with really quick responses at any time of the day, helping to make me feel comfortable with such a big purchase remotely!

We were lucky enough to have Isiah as our guide! Hilarious, knowledgeable and experienced! He know when and where we should be to make sure got the most out of the experience!

He also went the extra mile by doing things like printing out our train tickets for us including the return leg, this is something that friends we made that were with a different tour provide had to do themselves. Little things like that helped to make our trip a once in a lifetime!


A couple of things to note/put you at ease when booking:
- The payment portal on the link that Silas sends you does look a little suspect, but it is real and works fine.
- Communication is mainly through WhatsApp which is fantastic for easy chatting
- There are a few additional trips/activities that you can do along the way, a boat ride round a lake Naivasha $80 per boat, a visit to a Masai mara camp $30 per person, these aren't mandatory, but worth knowing about before you go!


Overall I would highly recommend Apodiformes for any tour you might be considering!

A Wonderful Tour Experience in Kenya
5/5

Overall it was a very pleasant trip with Apodiformes Adventures in Kenya. They provided a professional service to me and the tour guide Leroy and Edward were experienced and super funny, I enjoyed and joked with them all day on my travels. They also consider me one of the most interesting Chinese tourists they have ever met.

East Africa is a magical place, I would definitely miss the people and scenery that happened here every minute.

Silas was always very quick to respond and helped customize our trip to get all we wanted!
5/5

Overall we certainly enjoyed our trip throughout Kenya and Tanzania with Apodiformes Adventures. Silas was always very responsive to our questions while leading up to the trip, and helped us customize the tour so that we were able to get the itinerary we were hoping for. We did an 11 day Safari starting in Nairobi, heading to Lake Nakuru and then down to Masai Mara. We then crossed the border over into Serengeti National Park, and to Ngorongoro Crater after that. From there we visited Tarangerie NP and finished back in Kenya at Amboseli NP before flying back out of Nairobi. We felt like this was a good way of seeing as much as possible within 11 days, but probably underestimated just how much driving on dirt roads would be involved. Be prepared for some long drives if you are trying to fit in the Kenya and Tanzania parks, the drives from Masai to Serengeti and Serengeti to Ngorongoro were the toughest due to poor road conditions. Still worth it overall though! Kevin was our guide while in Kenya, and he did a great job. His motto was “If you’re happy, I’m happy,” and he definitely strived to make sure we saw all the animals we wanted to. Benjamin was our guide in Tanzania, and he was an excellent guide as well. We appreciated how he always answered our questions with additional info and it was clear he was passionate about showing us a good time while on Safari with him. Apodiformes is not as big of company as others in Kenya/Tanzania and it maybe felt like the van and 4x4 we drove in were not as new/nice as others we saw, but we were able to see more while staying within our price range by booking with them, and overall would recommend them if you’re looking for a tour company for your trip!

Greatest wildlife experience
5/5

Tks Silas
We had the greatest wildlife experience for our trip here in Kenya at the safaris. We were so thrilled to see the animals in its natural habitat. We’re lucky to witness the leopard and it’s kill up on the tree. We also saw the zebras leading a long trail of wildebeest for its migration. Just that we didn’t witness the crossing of the river but that didn’t spoil our excitement. Tks for arranging such an amazing holiday for us and the resorts we stayed at the safaris were great too.

Excellent Safari Operator
5/5

Best Safari experience ever!!
We booked a 5-day, 4 nights (2 nights in Masai Mara & 2 nights in Amboselly) Safari tour for through Apodiformes Adventure and had the best safari experience ever. Special thanks to Mr. Silas for making our arrangement in well advance and our tour guide/driver Mr. Micheal. We couldn’t have had a better guide than Micheal. He was very polite, patient and very knowledgeable about wildlife and the Kenyan/Masai culture. Thanks to his expertise we saw the big 5 within the first 4 days, plus two cheetahs and baby lions and baby elephants. All of them were very close as he knows how to drive the land cruiser in best way. We felt really safe and trusted. We will recommend Apodiformes Adventures 100% for all my friends in coming days. Thank you Mr. Silas.

The tour operator is very excellent.
5/5

The tour arrangement is reasonable and definitely great. The consultant,Fredrick is very professional and and make a suitable tour itinerary for us. The communication was very effective. Even though we were taking the safari , Fredrick gave us calls everyday and asked our feedback. Also, the tour driver Tom is very experienced. The tour is beyond our expectations exactly.

We saw and enjoyed more than we could imagine beforehand
5/5

We (4 older Dutch people) searched the internet carefully for an organization that we could confidently estimate would make us a good offer for a 13-day safari in Kenya and Tanzania: (Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater, Lake Manyara, Tarangire, Amboseli and Tsavo West). We have had previous contact with three.
Silas from Apodiformes Adventures made us an attractive and relatively affordable offer. It could also be adjusted to our wishes. Communication via WhatsApp was extremely fast. Silas arranges and decides immediately. There was only some discussion about payment, but we also resolved that. We saw much more than we could have imagined beforehand. Many times the big 5 and beautiful other animals and birds in very different landscapes. The guides/drivers were very knowledgeable and correct. Nelson became our favorite, what a passion that man has. The spacious jeeps were good, a bit old in Tanzania, but good enough.
We thought the lodges we stayed in were fantastic.
In short, we enjoyed it immensely.

Amazing
5/5

As my first time in Africa, I was a little concerned about all the logistic that involves a safari trip. We decided to go with Apodiformes because we saw good reviews about them and we weren’t dissapointed at all. On the contrary, we were very pleased with all the service. They take care of all the details to make it easier for us, so the only thing we should be worry about is to enjoy the trip. It was an amazing experience, everything went perfect, specially with our guide John. He was always on time and making sure that we are having a good time. Thanks to him, we had the best experience ever. It was even better than we imagined.

Safari must do !
5/5

We had a great time on the safari organized by Apodiformes adventures. Silas created a customized plan for us, having the right mix between safari and relaxing time in Mombasa. Our tour guide, Sebastian, was amazing ! Not only did he drive us during the tour through sometimes barely there paths, he also ensured to get us to see all the animals from close by (sometimes, we were the only ones there, contributing even more to the magic of the Safari). Additionally, he would always have the answers to our multiple questions and if he did not know, he would do his research and come back to us later.
The lodges were really comfy, the food there, delicious and varied. All in all, what we received for our customized tour, is what we got !
Last but not least, we took the option to do a hot air balloon tour on our first day in Masai Mara - this is a must do in our opinion !

Travelling to Africa made super easy. Absolutely loved my trip. Value for money, for sure!
5/5

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
