This is a safari adventure for you to view our diverse wildlife, explore the savannahs, and soak up the East African culture.

A Amazing Journey
It's a tough trip. You need to stay in the jeep for serval hours every day for searching the wild animals. The driver-guide will try to find out the animals. It's worth for us to do this.

Thank you for remarking on your value-for-money tour package, which you declare was worth it!
With the determination of your relentless tour guide & driver, you were able to search & find the animals. Also, the tough & reliable 4x4 Land Cruiser Jeep cruised you through the rugged terrain of a safari adventure.
We agree that time is spent in the safari vehicle, as we search for animals...☺ In Kenya, roads are narrow and may not be well maintained. The roads immediately leading to the National Parks and Game Reserves are rough.
Asante for your well-received feedback!

Natural World provided us with a fantastic level of service from start to finish.
The communication from Duncan who was orgainising our trip was fantastic. He was prompt with responses and provided us with all the pre-info we needed to plan for our safari.
While on safari the tour guides we were allocated in Tanzania (Emilton) and Kenya (Shauri) were first class. They both ensured we were fully looked after both during the drives and at each accomodation and any special request we had was met with the custom "hakuna matata" (no worries) mentality. Their understanding of the landscape and knowledge (inc secter whereabouts) of the animals was amazing.
My wife and I would highly recommend using Natural World Kenya Safaris and we would certainly use again in future should we be luckily enough to safari again.

Thank you for taking on our Kenya & Tanzania tour.
We also appreciate all who acted with integrity and transparency from start to finish, to give you a fantastic safari!
This is including Duncan, your tour manager, who organised your itinerary to a T. He promptly gave you needed travel information e.g, how to apply for visas.
All appreciation also goes to Emilton when in Tanzania and Shauri in Kenya, for making your safari a first class & Hakuna Matata experience. Indeed, nothing is more important to your safari experience than being in the company of a knowledgeable, caring and sensitive guide. Of course, you want your guide to be an expert on the flora and fauna, to read the bush, and know how to find that elusive leopard or pride of lions.
Thank you, and we look forward to hosting you again!

Wonderful safari trip
Overall we give Natural World Kenya Safaris 10 out of 10 for quality and service. This company really care about your Safari experience to make it a trip of a lifetime, which it was!
Their website is easy to navigate and provides a wide range of tours and describes them in good detail. They were very easy to deal with via email and helped us pick and organise our safari trip. We paid the deposit via Pesapal, which is like Kenya's version of PayPal, and the rest when we started the trip. We were picked up at the airport by NWKS and taken to the hotel we'd booked in Nairobi before beginning the trip next day. We were picked up by our guide Ken and taken to Amboseli and then moved on to Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara. The lodges we stayed in were all very nice and comfortable and we were upgraded on most from budget to comfort. The food was excellent at them all.
The parks were truly amazing. To witness in real life what you've seen on TV is an experience we will never forget. Our guide, Ken, was an expert at seeking out the wildlife and was very knowledgeable. We saw the big five and so much more. The highlights for me were getting so close to Elephants, Giraffes and Lions, seeing Wildebeest cross the Mara River, seeing cheetahs hunt, watching a heard of thousands of wildebeest migrating to their next plain, lots of baby animals and Ken spotting the elusive Leopard for us. It was so wonderful and I can't thank Ken enough for being a fantastic guide. After the safari we were taken to our Nairobi hotel and picked up by NWKS again the next day to take us to the airport. I thoroughly recommend this company for your Safari trip, they are excellent.

We highly appreciate your giving us a 10 out of 10 for quality and service.
It is true that we majorly care about you, and hence a smooth ride when on our website. We want you to know about us and the tours we provide, including a FAQs page to answer all your questions.
There are flexible options on safari tour packages, which gave you room to customise your private safari to Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara.
Email communication is our main channel of planning with you. Though we also encourage phone calls & Whatsapp messaging for more engagement. Then booking via PesaPal, a very safe & reliable mode of payment.
Alongside your tour experience with your tour guide and driver Ken, we were also able to pick you up from the airport and drop you off at the end of the tour as a complimentary service.
The accommodation with excellent food as per your dietary requirements, did not disappoint.
For sure, "Going on a safari is to witness in real life what you've seen on TV. An experience you never forget!"

A magical and exciting trip to see the natural beauty of Kenya, the Rift Valley and its animals.
Copy of Tripadviser Review.
We spent 10 days travelling around Amboseli Reserve, Lake Naivasha, Lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. We travelled some 2,000km over a lot of dusty and bumpy roads to visit the game parks.
All the accomidation was varied and all very enjoyable.
Our driver/tour guide, Norman, was terrific. He drove us in a well maintained Toyota LWB Landcruiser with Pop Top.
Animal viewing from the vehicle was comfortable and spectacularly close to the animals. The vehicle was tough and perfect for the task.
Norman is a local Kenyan resident and was a font of knowledge and good company as well. Norman was also a great help in buying things along the way like Masai Shukas (Shukas are a colorful Masai blanket and a really good momento and a great gift to take back. Cost is about $USD 7-10) plus lovely fresh bananas and bottled water. Thank you Norman!!
We used Credit Cards where necessary and had no problems. We converted some $USD at the government exchange Bureau for Kenyan Shilling. The exchange rate is roughly $1USD to 100 Kenyan Shilling. It was good to have some local currency for the odd purchase at the markets.
The food at each resort was good and we generally had a large buffet brekfast, coming back for lunch and a rest some days and back out in the late afternoon. We always had a big buffet dinner after a long day out with the animals. The resorts would also pack a lunch if we wanted to stay out for the whole day.
The viewing of animals was superb and Norman got us to see the "Big Five", the Mass Migration and the Mara River mass crossing.
Amboseli Resort, Lake Nakuru Sopa Resort, Lake Nakuru Sopa Resort were probably 5 star. Masai Mara Mara River Camp were we stayed in tents was probably 3-4 star and all were very enjoyable and friendly. The Masai Mara River Camp was at least as enjoyable as the 5 star places.
At night we were very close to the animals.
It was usual to be escorted to and from your accom after dark.
The Rift Valley was just spectacular and vast. It runs from Tanzania to Mozambique and is simply stunning and full of grasslands and animals.
The temperature throughout was a very comfortable mid 20sC even though the Parks are mostly along the equator. The altitude moderates the climate around Nairobi and all the parks.
10 days is probably long enough. If you are short of time 7 days would also work if you drop off one or two of the lake destinations. Flying into the parks is an option if you are time or health challeged.
Natural World Kenya Safaris were organised, had excellent staff and I would recommend. The only error was our ride to the airport was mixed up and Clarence House arranged alternative transport with no problems.
Thanks you to the staff at Clarence House.
Clarence house is a lovely place to stay before and after Safari. The accom is nice and clean, buffet and a la carte food is served in the restaurant. Clarence House also has a pool and a comfortable cocktail bar.
Make sure you keep up your fluids with blizzardly cold Tusker Lager. Served in a 500ml bottle for $2-5 USD depending where you are.
Enjoy. Jambo Jambo! Asanti!

We are glad you spent your 10 days (9 nights) in Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Bogoria, Lake Nakuru & Maasai Mara.
Your tour guide Norman being instrumental when driving the 4x4 Land Cruiser Jeep on the Kenyan roads. Going where other vehicles feared to tread, heading deeper into the bush and easily going off-road to pursue that elusive leopard. The higher seating in the Jeep creating better visibility to view and photograph wildlife.
We appreciate Norman for sharing his immense knowledge & help with you throughout your safari. Thus making him good company.
We believe the gifts are handy back at home.
The accommodation and food was also enjoyable at Amboseli Sopa, Lake Nakuru Sopa & Mara River Camp.
Your advice to our prospective guests is well noted. A Natural World flight safari is the perfect solution for getting the most game viewing when on a limited schedule or health challenged.
Our apologies for the slight mix-up during your transfer, and we thank your Nairobi Hotel (Clarence House) for giving a helping hand.
Asante!

EXCELLENT EXPERIENCE WITH AMAZING GUIDE!
My friends and I have had the most amazing experience with Natural World Kenya Safaris. I booked everything online and the comunication was always very quick and kind (I talked to a woman called Faith). The car was very confortable and we could enjoy the beautiful views with no problem. Our guide, James Mwangi, was a must. Very very kind and comunicative, he explained to us a lot about the animals and the enviroment and did his best to give us a very nice ride. We had no doubt that he is a pro driving around the roads and also as a guide, always concerned that the group was taking nice pics and having a good time. I recomend this company 100% and I would book then again if I have the opportunity to travel to Kenya again.

Splendid 6 day Safari to Amboseli, Naivasha and Masai Mara
On this well organised Safari we saw a lot of exceptional wildlife. Booking was very easy and our special requests were accepted. Albert is a well experienced guide with a very good knowledge of animals and Kenya. He is also a safe and reliable driver. He found a good alternative to the bad road to Masai Mara. The comfortable loges were well chosen. We had a great time on this Safari organised by Natural World. We were glad to have a 4x4 Landcruiser as the roads inside the parks often were rough.

Far beyond our expectations!
Congratulations to Humphrey and his excellent team. Thanks to their experience and quality of service we had an extraordinary journey over 9 days and estimated 2.000 km on and off the road. All was well organised. With Patrick, far beyond a driver guide and more a very very capable man with a vast experience on the road and for the wildlife, we considered very lucky to see so many of the beautiful wildlife in Kenya. In Masai Mara we saw the "Big Five" within 3 hours. And we did not only spot 1 or 2 of these impressive animals during our 1 1/2 day. No, we saw more than 20 lions at once , 8 cheetahs ( 5 at once), 100 or more elephants. We saw 2 Leopards (one eating a zebra high on a tree) and countless Zebras and Impalas. During our trip through different National Parks we got the impression that it was Patricks experience and his own passion for wildlife which gave us the chance to see so many of Kenya' wildlife. Hotel Standard is very high, food was really excellent and on top of everything, Kenyan People are extremeley friendly and self confident. An mixture which makes them very amicable. For a a better understanding for Kenya I definitely recommend to go to Kenya and get an first hand impression of this vibrant country. It will help to change opinion and prejudice.
