Well organised and efficient
I chose this tour operator because it best met my safari needs. I only had a few days and I wanted to see a lot. They supported me in choosing the park and handled my travel needs in Kenya. The price was within budget and they exceeded my expectations with helpful and friendly staff.
The sharing of information by email and the payment method worked very well!

The most incredible experience!
Where do I start with the review? It’s been that incredible.
To start, I had a flight delay which didn’t allow me to make a connection to the Mara so Martin had booked me a room for the night at the Gardens and that really helped me feel at ease and get in the right mood for the upcoming journey. The place was incredible with incredible heritage cottages!
The next morning we were off to the mara, the whole time I had a driver who Martin arranged to get which helped me get where I need to be and Mr. Stephen was the BEST! He helped me get checked in, answer questions from agents at the local airport and ensure I was taken care of. I’ve travelled lots and this was the first time that I really felt taken care of!
Now in the mara; I would have never thought that all the little details would be taken care of, but they were. The camp was so secure, my tour guides for the game drivers were incredible and tailored my drives to what I was hoping to see. The people who were working at the camp worked to know my name and what I liked so everyday I had meals that were top quality. But the views of the mara is what had my heart.
I thank you so much for the most incredible experience for my first time to east africa! I was excited but I was taken care of along every step of the journey, which blew me away. I will be back and I will book with Martin and Africa Tours!

A Macknificent Family Adventure with Karen Blixen's Africa Tours!
Our family of four had an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya this August, thanks to Karen Blixen’s “Africa Tours & Journeys” now known as “ The Out Of Africa Experiences” . From the first inquiry about this adventure, to the final moments, every aspect was meticulously planned, showcasing the agency's professionalism and care for its clients. I am thrilled to say that the entire experience exceeded my expectations.
Wow! It's hard to express in words the professional, personable and attention to detail that was extended to me. I can't not say enough kind words about my African Safari Specialist Penina Onyando. Penina listened to all my wants and changes and never hesitated to oblige. Penina's
professionalism, kindness and responsiveness come across in every conversation. She made me feel so comfortable that I had no worries at all.
Patrick, our tour guide (driver), was simply outstanding as well. He picked us up from Nairobi and drove us out to the Masai Mara National Park. He was very pleasant and friendly and kept us entertained and amazed throughout the trip; sharing his deep knowledge of the wildlife and the local areas of Nairobi and Masai Mara. Patrick was very punctual but always very flexible. The safari jeep was comfortable and clean. For the duration of the Safari he was always available to us and attended to all of our needs.
We stayed at the Emayian Luxury Camp and it was wonderful. The accommodations were comfortable, the food was delicious, and the staff were attentive and friendly.
We did the Hot Air Balloon Safari (Amazing), the Masai Mara village tour and the airport transfers back to Nairobi. Everything was excellent.
Overall, our experience with Africa Tours was incredible. I highly recommend them for anyone looking to have an exceptional safari experience in Kenya.
Thank you, Africa Tours for a truly memorable experience!

Well organized and a truly unforgettable experience, exceeding out expectations.
We recently went on an amazing trip to Masai Mara with The Out Of Africa Experience (Africa Tours), and we’re still thrilled about it! The entire journey was well-organized, and everything went smoothly, making it a truly unforgettable experience.
Kudos to Ms. Immaculate, our tour planner, for crafting an extraordinary itinerary that exceeded our expectations.
Our flights via Wilson to Masai Mara were punctual and comfortable, setting the tone for an exceptional adventure.
At Karen Blixen Camp in Mara North Conservancy, we spent three incredible days surrounded by breathtaking views and warm hospitality. Mr. Joseph, our host and safari guide, was a font of knowledge and kindness, making our wildlife encounters truly special. Mr. Solomon, our food and beverage attendant, provided impeccable service with a smile. The entire camp staff was welcoming, efficient, and dedicated to our comfort.
Our subsequent stay at Mara Serena Lodges was equally impressive, with courteous staff and well-organized safari excursions.
We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to The Out Of Africa Experience(Africa Tours) for making this trip an extraordinary experience. From the meticulous planning to the seamless execution, your team's dedication and attention to detail were evident every step of the way. The personalized service, knowledgeable guides, and exceptional accommodations all contributed to a truly memorable journey. Thank you for turning our dream safari into a reality; we couldn't have asked for a better adventure!

Excellent, knowledgeable, very professional and friendly.
We had amazing safari experience at Masai Mara, all thanks to Africa Tours and Journeys who organised this incredible holiday for us. The trip went very well thanks to Ms Penina Onyando, who provided detailed itinerary, invaluable advice and resolved all organisational issues. All communication was smooth, friendly and easy. From the moment we landed at Nairobi International airport, we were greeted with smile by Africa Tours staff and were looked after throughout our holiday. We are very grateful to all staff at Africa Tours and would highly recommend Africa Tours Adventures.

Best Private Photographic Tour of Kenya!!!
Everything about this tour was perfect. Mercy was so very pleasant to deal with from the beginning and throughout! She was incredibly insightful and helpful each step of the way, creating a fantastic itinerary for us over 14 days. We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara and Mara North Conservancy. Each camp/lodge she chose was perfect! The food was incredible, the staff were amazing, and the experience was one we will never forget. I cannot say enough good things about Karen Blixen Camp in the Mara North Conservancy!!!! Any nature lover needs to visit there!
Being photographers, Mercy had even adjusted the vehicle to our specific requirements, something that was an enormous help. Our driver Patrick was an absolute legend to say the least. He was just as enthusiastic as us to be on safari, he was full of knowledge, and we loved sharing stories and laughs with him over the 2 weeks. Patrick ensured we not just saw what we wanted to see, but that we got the photos that we came to get. We were generally the first truck in the park, and often the last car to arrive back to camp - no sunrise or sunset was wasted. We saw the everything we hoped for and more, and Patrick did it all with a smile on his face.
I am already looking forward to coming back in 2026 to spend more time in the African bush with Patrick and The Out of Africa Experience. Thank you again for a trip great and fantastic memories!
