Silas was very attentive and accommodating and went beyond expectations to help before our safari.
Silas was great. He answered my texts promptly while planning our safari and accommodated a change in the itinerary. Not only did he pick us up late at night at the airport, but took us around the next day to get a few things we needed for our trip, including a bird book. Plus, he took us to the Giraffe Centre. Once on safari, our guide Freddy worked hard to find all the animals we wanted to see. We saw the big 5 within two days, plus the Ugly Five and many, many more. Well above our expectations. Kevin, his trainee, had a good eye for birds as well and was very personable. We are birders and were hoping to see 50 different species. Freddy increased that goal to 100 and we ended up recording 104, plus many more not identified. We stayed 2 nights at Masai Mara, 2 nights at Lake Nakuru, and 2 nights in Amboseli. The Sopa Lodges were very good as was the food. The whole experience was amazing! It helped that Freddy and Kevin were enthusiastic about providing a great time for us. Our safari was great value for the price, very reasonable. We hope to return someday with family and will use Apodiformes Adventures again.

Great guide, we had a wonderful trip
We saw a lot of great things, despite November not being the best month for activity. Our guide was great, he had a really good eye for finding things we didn't spot until we were right onto of them, and he got us out of the way well in time when we met a grumpy elephant who charged at us! We had a great experience :) I think we got good value for money.
The Masia Mara camp was very quaint. Really good food, a bit basic accomodation but had everything we needed and was reasonably comfortable. The Amboseli lodge was more fancy and comfortable, but at the expense of the quaint feel we had in the camp with the Massia

Super helpful, flexible and willing to make changes.
Silas was very helpful from the start and made planning the trip very easy. I was on a solo trip and had some specific requirements but he was very accommodating of my itinerary.
The safari itself was an almost transformative experience! All the guides and drivers were amazing and go out of their way to help you have the best experience. The stay in the all the hotels was really good too. Special mention for the Lake Naivasha Sopa lodge.
All things considered, it was a wonderful experience and will definitely recommend Silas and Apodiformes to everyone.

Quick, flexible, trusted operator! We had a great trip :)
We went on a safari (Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli) & for 3 days to the beach at the end of October 2022. Silas from Apodiformes Adventures was very communicative, prepared for us 2 alternative offers and followed up before our trip with questions regarding our arrival.
Our guide & driver was Loi and he was great! He was driving safely, shared with us many facts regarding animals, he was great at spotting the animals (when driving he told us there is a rhino in the bushes and we needed to stop & use binoculars to see it

Amazing
Our experience with our tour guide Nelson was amazing from start to finish. Once in a lifetime experience, highly recommended from two experienced world travelers.
Nelson was very knowledgeable and friendly and kept his professionalism throughout our trip. We have been to Kenya twice before and this was by far the best trip. Nelson went above and beyond to ensure was amazing and memorable.

Very accommodating operator that made it a truly magical experience
First and foremost, finding the right tour operator was overwhelming until my partner and I came across Apidoformes. Silas was very responsive and helpful in selecting the right package making sure we would get the best value and experience. Although our safari started the morning after we landed in Nairobi, Silas picked us up from the airport and dropped as off at our hotel. We chose a 3 night private safari package at a luxury resort (Sarova Game Camp) inside the Masai Mara park.
The next morning, one of the friendliest persons I’ve met was awaiting us for our safari, Tom. Our safari wouldn’t have been the same without Tom. He made us feel safe, made sure we had the best time and that our wishes came through the. And we were lucky, we saw the big 5 practically every day, thanks to Tom.
I highly recommend taking a private tour like we did because this way you get the most flexibility and you can really get most out of your safari. Sunrise and sunset game drives were truly magical. And on our last day we saw a rhino up close, the cherry on top of the cake.
The resort and the rooms were beautiful. It was clean, and both adventurous and luxurious. The resort staff had the most welcoming smiles and knew our names after the first meal. It felt like we have been staying there for weeks but in reality only a couple days. The restaurant buffet was outstanding (big compliments to the kitchen!).
Three nights was sufficient for us but we could have easily added another three. I can only recommend Apodiformes and big Tom!

Amazing safari experience
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

An Outstanding Experience!
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.

Kenya is even better than we expected: a beautiful with amazing people.
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.
