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!

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

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.

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.

Everything we expected and much more
We booked a 10-day tour in Kenya and Tanzania. We started in Masai Mara, went on to Lake Victoria, Serengeti, Ngorogoro, Tarangire and Amboseli. In Kenya our guide was James and he was superb. Always cool under pressure, it a was real pleasure to have had him. In Tanzania, our driver Jeff was very good as well; a fun guy who knew his stuff and knew how to repair the vehicle (as a matter of fact, if there is one thing we didn't like it was the vehicle in Tanzania; it eventually broke down 30 km from the Kenyan border). The Sopa hotels we stayed in in Kenya were nice, and they had some thoughtful details for Christmas and New Year. But for us the highlight were the tented camps in Tanzania; having zebras and gazelles grazing in front of the tent was so exciting. Hearing lions roar in the night was also exciting, but maybe for different reasons. During the 10 days we saw so many animals (but not leopards), and Serengeti was so amazing, looking over the plains and not seeing but wildebeests and zebras. The people from Natural World, from the very beginning, were absolute pros. Booking and payment was very easy and during the tour we were in constant contact if something came up. Many thanks to Duncan for everything! If you are looking for a great experience and peace of mind, this is a definitely a tour operator I would strongly recommend. We will cherish those memories forever. As these COVID-19 times are so very difficult, I wish everyone good health and stay safe!

Lifetime experience
Me and my husband have choose a safari for our honeymoon and we have organize everything ourself. Do it with Natural World Kenya safaris was very easy. From the first contact they were very fast to answer and everything was explain very clear, so the communication with them was super easy. Also during the week of safari our contact manager Maurine was available and present by message.
We have choose the week safari in Amboseli, lake Naivasha, lake Nakuru and Masai Mara at luxury level. Choose the accommodation was very easy because all the purpose were beautiful. After our stay, we can confirm that the level of accommodation was excelent. All lodge and camp have great room, food and services.
In consideration of this we can say that the effort quality price of this type Safari is great. In addiction we can say that the Jeep was great, clean and in optimal condition.
The extra value of this service was our driver and guide Sisto, that have many years of safari experienceand know very well all the place that we visit.
Special mansion for him because we find a very bad weather in Maasai Mara (even it was the dry season) and the Condition of the streets in the park was very very bad. So much mud, very difficult to drive. He never stuck in the mud and help many other Jeep stuck. He was a excellent driver.
Also he was always very helpful, kind and on time during game drives and all the moves from one park to the other.
We very recommend this company under any point of view.
We never forget this wonderful experience! Thank you Natural World Kenya, Maurine and Sisto!
Very responsive during booking and very professional during the safari.
Our 8 day safari with Abu was fantastic. We cannot rave enough about our guide, Abu, who was skilled and professional. The administrative team was clear and responsive.

It was one of the best experiences of my life
Everything with the agency went good. They took us from our hotel and then they guided us around the safari parks. Our guide was super good, kind, available for any information, he gave us some suggestions abour our stay in Kenya and he made our safari tour amazing! the agency booked some stunning hotel/tended camp. At the end, they took us directly to our hotel to the coast. It was everything extremely organised!!

Unforgettable experience!
The safari tour was excellent! Since the beginning Abel was very helpful and available to answer to all of our questions. He always tried to reassure us and gave us all details. The information given and the payment procedure were very serious and trustworthy.
As for the safari itself everything went as planned, a private tour in an spacious and comfortable Jeep 4x4 equipped with fresh water and binoculars (this was great!). The hotel was very comfortable as well, clean and with good food, different options and good taste. The rooms (adapted tents) were charming and we had all comforts while having an authentic experience.
Finally our guide Evanson was the cherry on top of the cake! He was very patient to answer to all of our questions, always trying to get us to places where we could see every animal and teaching as many details of the wildlife of Masai Mara, even the birds!
I would 100% recommend this experience and Natural World to everyone! Looking forward to repeat, thank Abel and Evanson.

3 Days Safari to Aberdare National Park & Ol Pejeta Conservancy
Our tour planning manager Abel was super fast to accommodate us and keep us informed all the time. The driver, Phillip, was amazing very professional and training excellent driver.
The experience at both Aberdare and Olpejeta was amazing. The Ark at Aberdare has balconies facing a pond were animals gather at night. We saw a pack of hyenas trying to hunt several animals. An incredible experience.
Olpejeta Conservacy was also a wonderful place with a lot of animals (elephants, rhinos, hyenas, impalas, zebras et al)
I will definitely recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris.
