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.

Amazing Tour Guide! Thank you Martin :)
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.

Great experience
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.

Best trip ever!
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.

Silas was a great communicator and organised everything for us. We had a great time! Kibo Safari Camp was a highlight.

Well organized
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!

Incredible adventure from the best tour operator!
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!!

Wonderful trip
We had an incredible time on our recent safari. We spent two weeks in Kenya and Tanzania visiting a total of six parks, everyone just a little different, but wonderful animal viewing in each. The accommondations exceded our expections, everyone was so helpful, and the food was delicious. Our guides were informative and each knew the parks and the best place to view the animals. A special shout out to William in Tanzania, if he wasn't pointing out or telling us about various animals and birds, he was teaching us Swahili words and phrases. if in Tanzania, ask for William!
Everyone was on time and on schedule, with no unexpected surprises. In fact our arrival was delayed a day due to the airline getting to Nairobi, but Silas was able to make the necessary adjustment on very short notice.
We are happy to recommend Apodiformes Adventures.

10 day Kenya trip was excellent with Apodiformes Adventures
My family of 4 went with Apodiformes adventures to Kenya on a 10-day trip. Silas(owner) was the person I communicated with; most importantly, he responded within less than ten minutes of my text every time. He was top on communication and answered every question about each park and stay. Silas worked with me on days and lodges where I wanted to stay. He provided a ten-day plan with Toyota Land Cruiser that covered Nairobi, Samburu, Ol Pejeta, Naivasha, Masai Mara, and luxury accommodation at each place. Most importantly, Silas helped talk and pick up my luggage from NBO airport when my luggage was delayed for three days. He picked up and assigned a driver to drop the luggage from NBO to Ol Pejeta (4hr drive) on the 4th day of our stay after the luggage was delayed. My family is grateful for Silas's help with luggage handling at the airport.
Maxwell was our guide for the Nairobi day trip and he took us to the places we requested. The best part is Maxwell took us to Cultiva Farm for an excellent lunch. We started the next day with Big Tom as our guide, who treated us as a family and took great care of my family. For the remaining nine days, Tom checked with us how the day went by and tried to help my family see all animals at each park. Based on my experience spending time with Tom, he knew a lot of other drivers at each lodge where we stayed and communicated at each park to spot animals. We saw all the Big Five across the different parks, the three varieties of Giraffes and other types of animals. Tom spotted the birds and named them so my kids could know. While driving across the ¬different lodges where we stayed, he helped us explain the cultures and things about Kenya. Tom was an excellent spotter of the wild animals and took good care while driving in the park and between lodges. Overall we are thrilled (5 Stars) with our 10-day trip to Kenya from Apodiformes Adventures and its owner Silas for the service and support before and after the trip. We will come back to Kenya in the future and book with Silas@Apodiformes adventures. I highly recommend going with Silas@Apodiformes Adventures and Tom as your guide for any of your trips to Kenya.
