Beyond expectation first-time safari in Kenya
This was my first safari experience, and it was way beyond my expectations.
The staff sent us a draft of the tour in advance, and we were able to adjust it to our needs.
I was in a group of 4 people, and we stayed for 5 days; we had our own car and a driver/guide that was always with us, making us always feel safe.
We visited 4 different parks: Lake Naivasha national park, Hell's Gate national park, Lake Nakuru national park and Masai Mara national reserve.
All the parks were beautiful, and very different from each other, with a variety of scenery that I didn't expect. We managed to see all the big five and so much more, it's been two months now and I still cannot process all of it... I'm from Italy and we cannot experience anything even remotely like this in my country or in Europe..
Our driver/guide, Evanson, was very professional but friendly, always ready to give us information and to answer our questions.
Accomodation was excellent, in all the different places we stopped. The food was very nice and the staff was always kind and friendly.
The vastness of the spaces and the feeling of being a small, insignificant being in the middle of all that beauty and raw power is what I will always keep with me.
I hope I will be able to go back sometimes in the future, it was really an extraordinary experience!

Natural World Kenya Safaris provided us with an excellent 10 day safari.
Before safari even began, Duncan provided much help in answering questions and making sure we knew the status of our booking. He always quickly responded to any questions that we asked him.
Daniel, our safari guide was awesome! He was very knowledgable and shared a plethora of information about Kenya, the animals and even general Eastern African politics. One of the things I liked most about Daniel is that he has a strong baritone voice that was easy to hear and understand over the road noise.
As for the itinerary of the 10-day safari, it was excellent. The only complaints I have about it was 1) the long day getting from Masai Mara to the Serengeti. Not a whole lot can be done about that other than possibly staying in another camp closer to the exiting gate the 2nd night in Masai Mara. 2) Amboseli this time of year was rather slow. I think we spent 1 too many days there.
The Tanzania part of the Safari, arrange by Natural World Safaris but not run by them, was fantastic. The only complaint there was the LandCruiser used in Tanzania was older and had a lot of rattles. Daniel's LandCruiser was very new and compfortable.
The Angata camps we stayed at in Tanzania were fantastic. They all have professionally trained chefs and the food was delicous. It is amazing what they were able to make considering where they were making it.
I would highly recommend Naturlal World Kenya Safaris to anyone!

Thank you for your heartfelt review. We appreciate Duncan, who walked with you throughout the planning process and the safari itself. His success in planning reflected our company's vision and mission. We also appreciate Daniel, your Kenya safari guide/driver, for his endearing efforts to make your 10 days safari excellent.
Your meaningful advice for fellow travellers is well noted when it comes to the duration for Kenya & Tanzania Safaris, as well as visiting Amboseli National Park which is known for its free-ranging elephants. Wildlife viewing is best in Amboseli during the dry season (June – October). Improvement will also be seen on the jeeps used for our Tanzania Safaris.
We look forward to your next visit from the USA to Kenya☺

Go on a Safari with Evanson! Review of a 5-day Safari
We chose a 5-day Safari: Nairobi - Masai Mara - Amboseli - Mombasa. What an amazing experience!
First and foremost we want to thank Evanson - our tourguide - who not only brought us safely to our chosen destinations, but could tell us a lot about kenyan nature, wildlife and the country in general, as well. We started off with a pick up in Nairobi and could experience the 'african massage' (the roads leading to the Masai Mara can be quite bumpy) for the first time. We stayed in a tented camp ('Losokwan camp') right in the middle of the bushes. This camp hasn't got a fence surrounding it. Hence, wild animals cross the camp at night. That was at first a bit scary, but looking back a very exciting and awesome experience. Our game drives in the park with Evanson were great. We saw lots of lions, hyenas, giraffes, elephants, hippos, etc. From there we had a long ride to Amboseli and could catch a glimpse of the Kilimandscharo before the sun went down. In our gamedrives in the Amboseli National Park we werent't able to see as much animals, but still experienced some special moments. In Amboseli we stayed at the Kibo Safari Lodge, which was very comfortable, but not as exciting or extraordinary as Losokwan Camp. At the end of our 5 days, we were brought to the Emali train station and took the Madaraka Express to Mombasa - the end of our trip.
Summarized, we had an awesome safari. The communication pre- and post-booking with Patricia went very well. So, all in all we can really recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris as a company. You should ask for Evanson as your tourguide ;-)

Natural World Kenya Safaris appreciates your commendations on your knowledgeable tour guide & driver Evanson, as well as your hardworking tour manager Patricia.
It is true that in Losokwan Luxury Tented Camp hippos, elephants and buffaloes regularly graze around the tents presenting memorable and exciting moments for our guests. Also Mount Kilimanjaro, the largest mountain in Africa, towers over Amboseli National Park. And when the clouds burn off at dusk or dawn, you’ll be treated to visions of its snowy peak.
Kwaheri ya Kuonana!

Received a great service from Natural World Kenya Safaris
I booked a Safari Tour (Tsavo East National Park) with Natural World Kenya Safaris through Martha and received an excellent service. Martha was quick to respond to all inquiries i had. A lot of information is also available as well on the website.
The driver, Harrison, is a great guy. He came to get us at the hotel not only on time but early (7:30 instead of 8:00). Calm, knowledgeable, it was great travelling with him.
I highly recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris

Amazing experience
We loved the tour. We had an experienced guide who knows where to go and what to look for, he also showed care for our needs. Luxury plan is indeed very pleasant. The overall experience with the company was good except for a sudden change in plans of our last day of safari (A new client they didn't want to lose it, so the forced last minute arrangements). The solution was acceptable, but Natural Safari pretended us to pay the entrance of the new driver to the park, in case we wanted to finish the tour as originally planned. In general, it would recommend this company with no hesitation. Congrats Natural World!

We are glad you enjoyed the luxurious experience on your Nairobi to Mombasa tour. In almost all instances, luxury lodges & tented camps are located at vantage locations within the national parks and game reserves. They are unique in architecture and design. They also provide easy access to the game viewing areas. The facilities and comfort levels are of higher standard. Rooms/ tents are private and en suite. There shall most likely be a swimming pool in most of the luxury facilities. Examples include your accommodation of choice: Oltukai Lodge and Satao Camp in Amboseli & Tsavo East National Parks respectively.
Receive our sincere apologies for the sudden change of plans on your last day, that was a logistical issue. We will make sure it doesn't happen again!
Thank you Camilo.

Excellent Safari
The service and the safari both were excellent. Our stay at Sopa Masai Mara was best in class.

Thank you for your 5-star review on our services and safari experience, which as you say were excellent!
Maasai Mara Sopa Lodge is definitely a great choice of comfort-level accommodation. It is located high on the slopes of the Oloolaimutia Hills. It was one of the first safari lodges to be built in the Maasai Mara Game Reserve, a reason why its gardens and trees are so lush and mature. All the buildings follow the design of traditional African round houses with conical roofs, and these stretch along the line of the hills with the impressively large public area buildings and the swimming pool at their center.
