Fantastic experience, great value, unforgettable memories
Everything exceeded expectation. We had clear and frequent communication, and loved that transportation and accommodations were so easily included. Our guide showed keen expertise and was incredibly helpful. We miss him now that we're home in the States! The actual game drives were incredible--Moses clearly knew where to look and had a vast knowledge of every species. We saw everything we expected and several animals we felt lucky to catch (lions, hyena)! Lodgings were breathtaking, the game drive had me emotional for days, and the whole experience was managed beautifully. All of this came at a great price point. We are so impressed and hope to book again!

Chris was awesome! Accommodated us and willing to handle some special requests.
Faith was fantastic in her communication throughout the planning, Chris was awesome as I said. He went over and above expectations. We had the best vehicle of all I could see around us. I was able to show my elderly mother lions while she was on her couch thousands of miles away due to the ability to use the online WiFi!!

Excellent service—Great experience
I have nothing but good things to say about my day-safari to Amboseli National Park with Natural World. I received an e-mail confirming availability a mere 10 minutes after making my initial inquiry online, followed by additional e-mails confirming logistics. The driver arrived on time and did his best to show me the beautiful animals. To top it off, the buffet breakfast and lunch were top notch!

Exhiting
I recomend to improve the information on the elements for choise the best tour.
The dexcription of the park, rate the lodge not only by quality but also for their position (to avoid long transfer to park entrance) and finally to the vehicle.

Excellent service and a wonderful experience
Had a fantastic experience with Natural World. Drivers were excellent, very knowledgeable and had a good sense of humour. Henry did us a huge favour and switched us from a minibus to a 4x4 for the second part of our trip with no hassle at all. All pickups and drop offs were smooth and we were even able to sort a trip to a masai village with just a few hours notice. I honestly cannot recommend these guys enough!

Safari absolutely out of this world!
We went on a five day Safari to Tsavo East, Tsavo West and Amboseli National Park!
It was well organized from the word go with booking the Safari and coordinating payment, accomodation and so forth!
Henry was great with the emails and any questions that we had!
The driver James was also excellent, safe, came on time and answered any questions we had on the game drives.
The parks are also awesome - loved the scenery, saw lots of animals, especially elephants and also lions, buffalos, zebras, wildebeest, many bird species and others in all kinds of settings.
The accomodation places were nice with animals roaming around - though very hot when we were there so needed to drink lots of water!
All in all a wonderful experience!

Very efficient company. Nice that they rang us a few times to see how things were going.
Booking the holiday was straight forward. The accommodations were as expected. The car and driver were great.
A really lovely holiday was had by the 4 of us. A Big Thank You!!

An amazing experience, without fault!
Our group of 8 people went on a 9 day safari at the end of January 2019. Wow! What an experience! From first contact to being dropped off at the airport, Natural World Kenya Safaris were simply brilliant. They answered all our questions quickly, and the booking process was simple. Payment through Pesapal was also simple.
The safari itself was just an amazing experience. The accommodations was excellent, the food was excellent, and this was all on the economy option. We had two jeeps and two guides which was definitely the right choice, It would have been no fun with 8 of us in one jeep. The sightings of the wild animals was beyond what we imagined. Our guides/drivers (George and Sisto) were fun, informative, and made sure we were in the right place at the right time to get some amazing sights. Quite simply we could not find fault with anything. If you have the chance the to go on Safari, then do it, and seriously consider going with Natural World, it was an experience worth every penny!

Our brilliant driver spotted "The Big 5" within 3 1/2hrs of commencing our 8D Safari in Masai Mara!
Preliminary investigations for our safari commenced one year before we actually arrived in Nairobi. I spent much time searching for recommendations, especially in TripAdvisor to which I have personally contributed for several years.
It soon became apparent that Natural World Kenya Safaris had gained a justified excellent reputation over many years.
My next step was to search the company website for a standard private safari for my wife and me before initiating contact, bombarding Duncan with a myriad of questions, and then fine-tuning results to suit our personal requirements. All my queries were answered in a prompt and professional manner, and nothing was too much trouble. Final choices came down to the level of accommodation i.e. Economy, Standard, or Luxury. We settled on the latter and were pleased that we did so. Also, in Kenya, the type of vehicle. We had the choice between the more basic, but albeit satisfactory Toyota pop-top mini-bus/van in Kenya and the more popular and slightly more expensive 4x4 Toyota jeep, which was the only choice across the border. We chose the former but would recommend paying that little extra for the jeep, especially if travelling in the rainy season. Having convinced myself that I had made an inspired choice of operator and safari all I had to do was to persuade my dear lady (this was the toughest part!) and shortly thereafter I proceeded with a confirmed booking.
Our 8D/7N safari was a round-trip from Nairobi encompassing Masai Mara, a brief visit to Lake Victoria, Serengeti, Ngorongoro and Tarangire.
The first 3 days were spent in Kenya, with our vehicle being the standard mini-bus. Our driver/guide Peter, was brilliant at spotting wild-life, and within 3 1/2 hours of our very first "Game Drive" in the Masai Mara we had not only seen "The Big 5" but a cheetah as well. Peter was also a very safe driver and stuck to the speed limit unlike many other operators who smothered us in dust as they "flew" past!
We farewelled both driver and vehicle at the border as is customary, and the formalities and changeover proceeded smoothly.
For the next 4 days in Tanzania, our driver/guide was Milton, another true professional spotter and careful/safe pair of hands, and the vehicle the ubiquitous "Toyota" pop-top 4x4 "jeep".
One major benefit of being on a private safari was that we had the final say with regard to the length of game-drives and on more that one occasion we called "time" early to return to our lodge for some much-needed rest and recuperation, having first satisfied our variety of wildlife for the day. Being on safari is hard and thirsty work! Our drivers were both tough champions and never once suggested that we end the day prematurely!
Our final driver for the last leg from the border to Nairobi was "Mzee" and we knew instinctively that we were in a good and safe pair of hands.
On the outskirts of Arusha we had a pre-arranged road-side meeting with Emanuel from "Comfort Holidays" who operate the Tanzania business on behalf of Natural World Kenya Safaris. Emanuel queried us on our feedback for our safari and assured us that any comments, positive or negative, would be followed up by senior management.
I'm pleased to say that we were extremely complimentary about all aspects of our safari with one exception, which was our final night's accommodation in Tarangire. We felt it did not measure up to the "luxury" standard we paid for. Later it was confirmed that Management most certainly do take notice as Humphrey, one of the Directors, personally contacted me and apologised.
As we neared Nairobi we were reminded as the traffic volume increased and traffic came to a crawl at times but Mzee was far more patient than I would have been had I been at the wheel.
The bottom line:
Would we recommend arranging your safari with Natural World Kenya Safaris?
Absolutely without any qualms at all!
Don't waste time thinking about it. Do it now. You will not regret the decision!
