Reviews
We saw and enjoyed more than we could imagine beforehand
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.

The tour operator is very excellent.
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.

Excellent Safari Operator
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.

Greatest wildlife experience
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.

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

A Wonderful Tour Experience in Kenya
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.

Incredible experience, delivered by an incredible tour provider!
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!

Best service provider , unforgettable hospitality, professional tour guides cum drivers
I found about Apodiformes adventures through Safari.com. Contacted Mr. Silas who is very kind, friendly and professional.
He communicated with me and finalized my itinerary as per my need and offered me a tour package in my budget.
All the Lodges and hotels he booked for me such as Tamrind tree hotel in Nairobi, Enkorok Mara camp in Masaimara, Nakuru Sopa lodge in Nakuru, Amboseli Sopa Lodge in Amboseli were superb. All located at great locations, having professional and friendly staff and provided great service.
Our driver cum guide Mr. Gibson, who was with us for 8 days, was very friendly person, having good communication skill in English and showed us all the places and showed us all the animals Kenya could offer.
I am so greatful to Silas, Gibson and Apodiformes adventures for this memorable trip.
Kenya is best place for wild safari, adventures and relax. Yellow fever is very rare so nothing to worry about that, even no need to get yellow fever vacation, Kenyan people are very nice, kind and tourist welcoming.
I highly recommend everyone to visit Kenya and get the service of Apodiformes adventures to make your Kenya vacation pleasant and unforgettable.
Thanks Silas.
Love you man. Keep the good work up.
I miss you Kenya, wanna come again.
Hope to see 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!

Very helpful really go's the extra mile
Above and beyond our expectations
We have just come back from a safari trip with apodiformes and I have to say Silas (the owner) couldn't do enough for us
We where let down last minute by somebody else so I had to scramble around to organise this trip so I was messaging Silas all times of the day, evenings, weekend and he always came straight back to me with help and advice
He came to the airport to pick us up at about 11pm so we didn't get ripped off by a taxi then picked us up at 6am the next day so we could start the safari
At the end of the safari we got a train to mombasa.we had two bottles of expensive whisky with us (bought in duty free)which we didn't know isn't allowed on the train.so the driver took them to Nairobi gave them to Silas who stored them for a week then drove to the airport to meet us
I mean this guy REALLY go's the extra mile
Oh and the safari everything we could have hoped for got to see the big five
