Absolutely fabulous!
Joseph Mbotte was the BEST tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, patient, and did everything possible to make sure we saw all the different animals. Everything about the trip went smoothly. Everything ran on time, Joseph always had the necessary tickets to enter the parks, and he communicated with several other tour guides so we knew where to look for the animals. The lodgings were very nice and the food was always good. There were plenty of food choices. The Jeep was reliable through all types of terrain and it was nice having the raised roof so we could stand while traveling through the parks. I was impressed that the owner talked to us via phone on the last day to confirm that all went well.

Exceeded expectations
It was a very good and easy experience working with Natural World Kenya Safaris. I had a luxury experience at an affordable price. I would like to thank Faith for putting the safari tour together for my cousin and I, and my safari driver Ken for doing a great job for making us feel safe.

Great Local Operator
i liked the look of this website - it was clear and concise with what was offered, compared to some vaue ones. I booked some day trips, but didnt use them for the overnight trips - preferring to use a UK company for a little more piece of mind in safety/comms/not getting ripped off.
However these guys were great - email queries were answered quickly from the office in Kenya with useful information, they were great when i landed - ensuring everything was ok, and followed up at the end.
The driver was a little gung-ho at times, - for example a giraffe stopped in the middle of the road in front of us and he continued to drive straight towards it and then seemed shocked when it dispeared into the bush out of site by the time we got close - it would have been better to pause on the road and get the photo then - but then he knew i was focused on Lions, and defo wanted to keep the search going as much as possible.
Overall, this company & driver was excellent, and i wouldnt hesitate to use them again,
Notably - the UK company i used for the overnight trips was far more disappoining, and the UK agents clearly had no idea about what happened in Kenya! If i was to do it all again, i'd use these guys for the whole trip

Very well managed - made everything go like clockwork and what an amazing experience it was!
This was our first safari and we are very happy that we chose to book through Natural World Kenya Safaris. Right from the word go, the team at Natural World made it a seamless experience: starting with the booking, the hotel options, schedule, airport pick-up and drop and of course the safari itself. Our tour manager Henry was always quick to respond and kept us up-to-date on all information. Bonaya Shari, our safari guide did a simply fantastic job - be it his driving on the highway (very safe) or in the parks making every effort for us to see and enjoy the wildlife and the natural beauty. We must especially thank him for his patience with our 10 year old's incessant questions! The vehicle was well maintained, equipped and comfortable - we were a bit apprehensive about spending 5 days travelling by road, but it turned out to be a very enjoyable experience. A big thanks to the entire team at Natural World for making our first Safari adventure a special and unforgettable experience. Keep up the good work!

Lots of great animals to see
It was a good trip, but we did lots of driving. We probably could have skipped the last park in lieu of some extra time to enjoy some of the earlier ones.

Great trip worth the price
I was very happy with our trip in Kenya. Our guide was very knowledgeable. We got to see so much and even had a chance to stop at a sight seeing area to stretch our legs. What a great way to appreciate nature but not disturb it.

Very friendly, spoke good English. Worked very hard to find wildlife and give us time to photos
Natural World Kenya Safaris is an extremely reliable company. Three couples gave a deposit in 2019 for a 2020 ten day safari trip to Kenya and Tanzania, which of course was not possible because of the Covid shutdown. We were told our money was safe and that we could go in the future. We chose September 2021. As promised we were picked up at the airport in Nairobi, brought to a very nice hotel and started our safari the next morning. We received everything that was promised and more. Covid testing was never an issue as all arrangements were made ahead of time with results back in a timely fashion. The lodges were beautiful and our driver/guides were fabulous (we needed to change to a different guide when entering Tanzania from Kenya then back to our original guide when going back into Kenya). Both were wonderful and worked hard to get us as much wildlife as possible and position the Safari jeep for better photographs. We were greeted with open arms at all of the lodges. The employees could not do enough for us! Food and accommodations were great. I would highly recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris for anyone considering a visit to Kenya and Tanzania. They are wonderful countries to visit. My husband and I did a similar trip over 22 years ago and we were pleased to see the wildlife even more protected then they were in 1999. We will definitely be doing another trip with Natural World Kenya Safaris in the future!

Awesome
Our experience started with booking. We were given the option for a private tour only since we were booking short notice. They were very accommodating and replied promptly even late at night. They arrived a little early the next morning and we’re waiting for us at our hotel in an awesome safari pop up car. He took us first to the giraffe center. Then we stopped at a market and then we went to the Nairobi National Park. Where for 5 hours we were able to have the whole 360° view of the park in the private tour. (Highly recommend!!) we took hundreds of pictures and videos and just really enjoyed the animals and surroundings. Our guide Ken was perfect. He knew exactly where to go and he was very respectful of the animals and of the park rules. Which made me feel safe and like he really cared about the animals. We were able to see 4 lions, Rhinos, buffalo, giraffe, monkeys, hippos, alligators, so many different kinds of antelopes, zebras, birds and more. He would identify the different kinds of animals for us and also any kinds of land marks. However, he didn’t talk so much. Which was so nice! We were able to focus on the animals and the beautiful scenery. He took our pictures whenever he wasn’t driving and was very attentive. At the end when we were leaving the park we were extremely hungry. So he brought us to a cool restaurant carnivore. And from there we found our own way back to the hotel. It was so magical. We will definitely be booking with Natural World the next time we are back.

Perfect Safari and Tour of Kenya, great for all experience levels
My partner and I enjoyed a fantastic 10-day safari organized through Natural World Kenya Safaris. The entire experience, from planning through execution, was flawless. Our agent, Faith, was excellent with communication and helped us build a custom itinerary to give us the best chance at seeing all of the animals we hoped for.
The safari exceeded our expectations, particularly as it was during the supposed rainy/low season. We saw an incredible array of wildlife: 3 species of rhino, 3 species of giraffe, 2 species of zebra, lions, elephants, leopard, hyena, jackals, hippos, crocodiles, gazelles galore, warthog, cape buffalo, an incredible diversity of bird life, and more.
Our driver-guide, Kim, was a true gem. Knowledgable, experienced and jolly are just a few of his great characteristics. Kim was a great spotter of wildlife, a very good driver in the bush, and taught us so much about the flora and fauna that we encountered. We would highly recommend him for any type of safari-goer, but particularly those with an acute interest in wildlife knowledge or photography.
My partner and I were a bit anxious when planning this safari, as it was our very first one. But we couldn't be happier with how it went. If you have the option of going to Kenya for safari: do it! And please consider using Natural World Kenya Safaris and their guide Kim. You won't regret it.
