Excellent experience
This was a 5 star service. Tour guide was on time for pick up and provided us an amazing safari. We were at Amboselli Park and then visited a maasai villlage. Guide was very professional and cordial all the time. I truly recommend this company. Not to mention that breakfast and lunch included in the price were at these amazing lodges and food selection was humengous.

Experience of a lifetime along with 7* service
When we started planning our trip to Africa, we had enquired with quite a few operators - but Natural World Kenya Safaris stood out from the very beginning with quick responses, direct answers, ideas and suggestions but also an excellent price for a bespoke itinerary.
From the start, Esther communicated fast and efficiently with us over email. Our trip was tailored to perfection. For us this was a trip we have wanted to do for years so had to be perfect. Unlike other operators, Natural World Kenya Safaris listened to what we wanted and did not push other locations on to us, which would have been easier and more cost effective to the tour operator. I would highly recommend internal flights for all aspects if doing several reserves…it saves a lot of time and also allows you to do more game drives.
Our trip was a 6-day trip (2.5 days in Amboseli and 3.5 days in Masai Mara).
On the ground, we were assigned James as our guide/driver for the first part of the trip to Amboseli. He was good and tried to communicate with us even though he was not fluent in English. He had good knowledge of the animals also.
Our second driver was George; he picked us up from the airstrip in Masai Mara and immediately took us on a game drive. He noticed we only had one case and we explained that Kenya Airways had lost our luggage but were sending us it on the next flight. He wanted to make sure as knew their history and without us asking he phoned them to make sure, it turned out it wasn’t coming.
George then phoned the head office and asked Esther to support so it would not ruin our day. Within 24hrs, Esther had another employee called Prince to directly collect the luggage from Nairobi airport take it to Wilson airport and then fly it to us to the airstrip in Masai Mara!! Natural World Kenya Safaris paid for this service and did not even ask us for the money it cost them to do so for me this is going beyond any level of service!! Without them, I dread to think how long I would have been without my partner’s luggage. I cannot thank them enough for this!!
George has excellent knowledge of the game, the layout of Mara reserve, has excellent tracking and spotting are amazing…he had vision like a giraffe! Our Games drives were excellent – and more importantly let us have the time to see and do what we wanted without questioning! He went out of his way to make sure we would see everything on our drives Above all that, his personality, engaging attitude and more importantly his motivation made it a memorable trip for us even with what we experienced from Kenya Airways. He was the by far the best host we have experienced in our travels anywhere.
I cannot recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris for your trip to Kenya. Every single moment on the trip was memorable, and I would not hesitate to use them again should we return.

These guys are amazing! Highly recommend to anyone
Natural Tour Safaris were amazing, and would recommend them to anyone going on safari in Kenya.
I would give them more that 5 stars if I could.
From the start Esther communicated with us over email, she was great. She worked with us to achieve exactly the trip we wanted at a great price. This was a once in a lifetime trip and Esther made sure to help us along the way.
We did a 6 day trip, 2.5 days in Amboseli and 3.5 days in Masai Mara.
The accommodation in Amboseli - Ol Tukai Lodge, had great views. We stayed on the water hole side and seen lots of buffalo and hippos from your room window. Careful of the baboons, they walk around freely. The food was really nice here too and we were lucky enough to see Kilimanjaro in its full glory.
We then flew from Amboseli to Masai Mara Serena Airstrip. What an amazing experience, it saves so much time and the views were amazing. You get to fly so low to the animals. We had a private plane almost when the other 10 people got off in North Masai Mara. So we got to speak with the pilots and sit right behind them.
When we arrived in Masai Mara we were picked up by George. I love George such a wonderful character and credit to the company. He did everything in his power to make our holiday the best!
I had huge troubles with Kenya Airways, they lost my partners bag for 2days and mine for 6days. They lied to us on several occasions saying that my bag would be delivered to Ol Tukai Lodge and then to Masai Mara.
George, Esther and Prince went above and beyond for us. Between them they picked up my bag in Nairobi Airport, took it to Wilson Airport and organised for it to be on a flight the next morning. Without them I dread to think how long I would have been without my luggage if it wasn’t for them. They also didn’t charge for this, which was so lovely of them, I really appreciate everything they did for me. They put a smile back on my face
Our accommodation in Masai Mara was stunning, The Mara Engi. The rooms were huge, stunning views and lovely staff. There wasn’t a great choice of food but none the less we loved staying here. A A few times we ran straight out on safari and they would even pack a breakfast box for us.
We also organised our hot air balloon ride with Natural Tours, which again was easy to organise through them.
To finalise, George really made mine and my partners time special. He was so lovely to talk to and made a great effort. He let us change our plans when we wanted to, he got so close to all the animals for us. And we were lucky enough to see a huge lion fight followed by a herd of buffalo charging at all the lions. Just incredible.
My partner also decided to propose to me one night and George was there to record it and take photos. These photos I will cherish forever. Thank you everyone at Natural Tours.

BEST HOLIDAY EVER! THANK YOU!
We were met at the airport and taken to the hotel in Nairobi, even for safari started the next day. Next day we met our safari guide (I cannot call him just 'driver') - Milton, who took us to Masai Mara - our starting point. The car was nice and comfortable, and Milton is a very safe driver, so you can sleep the whole way and don't bother about anything. We stayed at Sarova Mara, which is amazing! Staff is super friendly! We were debating about staying in tent, but it was very comfortable, it was a room with soft walls, rather than just tent. We loved Masai Mara - we saw the big 5 on the first day. We've also done the safari balloon there, which was amazing. It is another way to look whats happening on the ground and the sunrise is breathtaking. During other days, which we spent in Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli we saw hundreds of animals, and Milton was very good in finding them, stopping for good picture and giving information about them. Knowing that we wanted to see Mt. Kilimandjaro, which was covered for 2 days, he woke us up in the morning, when the clouds were finally gone and the sky cleared.
As for the accommodation - Sarova Mara, Lion Hill Sara at Nakuru and Ol tukai are amazing. Staff is very outgoing and friendly, food tasty, rooms clean. Sopa Lodge at Naivasha is not that good: accommodation is great and people friendly, but food....(((On the other hand, we stayed there just for one night, so overall it was ok. Btw we had an amazing boat trip there, don't miss a chance to visit Crescent island - you would love it!
Summing up, if you want to do safari in Kenya, choose Natural World Kenya Safaris and ask Milton to be your safari guide and this will be your best ever holiday! Lots of love and thank you, guys!

My husband and I had the best experience with Natural World Kenya! Every communication was timely and thorough, and the tour they planned was comprehensive. The chosen accommodations were excellent, and the guides were very knowledgeable. We saw the Big 5 and MUCH more!

Incredible 6-day safari in Kenya
We went on the Natural Tours Kenya Safaris 6-day safari from Nairobi to Mombasa and also arranged transfer from Mombasa to Watamu and back through this company. We were very satisfied. Based on our experience this company is correct, precise and trustworthy, and offers very high-level services. Our e-mails were answered very quickly, the replies were thorough. When it became clear that one in our group would not be able to come, they made quick rearrangements and recalculated the cost of the safari.
We chose the Luxury accommodations and paid more for the jeep and we feel that this was a good decision. With the jeep we had access to places where the van maybe would have had more trouble getting to and there was more room in the jeep. Our guide Patrick was an excellent driver and he knew nature and animal behaviour extremely well. We learned something new from him every day about nature and Kenya in general. Patrick has a very good eye and he found even the hardest to spot animals from the landscape: rhino, leopard and cheetah. We saw the Big Five and a lot of animals you would not encounter very often. We happened upon some extraordinary situations, for example we saw 14 lions eating a buffalo just by the road. During the 6 days we went to 4 national parks which were all very different in their nature and landscape. It was a very good way to see the country.
We chose the accommodation places so that we could also try sleeping in tents with all the amenities, and we were very pleased with all the places. The places we chose were: Sarova Mara Game camp (in Maasai Mara), Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort (in Lake Naivasha), Ol Tukaj Lodge (in Amboseli), Severin Safari Camp (in Tsavo West). Every camp and lodge was great and beautiful in its own way, each had its own atmosphere. In every camp there was a good variety of food and everything tasted delicious.
All in all an amazing experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives! We reccommend using Natural World Kenya Safaris for a truly incredible safari experience!
