Hassle Free Safari Experience
Hassle free and well organized tour. The communication with this tour operator was very smooth from my very first inquiry until the day of our trip they reply to my email quickly and is flexible with the pick up time and pick up location.
Our tourguide/driver Dominic is very patient in answering our questions about the animals and wildlife. He is very nice to share lots of insights and his knowledge to us. We also had a good time bantering against each others joke during long drive. Very approachable guy.

Best safari ever!!
Hello,
My husband and I went on a 5 day 4 night safari in Kenya with Natural Kenya World Safaris. It was the best safari ever (I’ve been to South Africa and Sri Lanka before). The logistics were great, good planning, execution and outcomes. Our driver George Gacheru... he was just amazing! Not only George Gacheru was super knowledgeable but also very kind and flexible. Moreover, he has binoculars for eyes! We managed to see lions, rhinos, buffalos, leopards, cheetahs etc. Honestly, if you’re looking for the best customized and private safari, look no more and go with Natural World Kenya Safaris, you won’t be disappointed!

The most exceptionally wonderful experience! We did not want to leave and will be going back soon.
Weeks before we even left on our holiday, Caroline Mugo had been there every step of the way. Any information that we needed or unsure about, any questions or even just advice, Caroline emailed straight back to help in any way she could. We were so excited to begin our holiday. From the time we landed we were transferred to our accommodation even tho our flights had changed and it took more than 2 hours to get out of the airport due to security and customs delays, Hosea was still there waiting for us and take us to our accommodation for the night. Ken collected us early from there the next morning and I am finding it hard to express in words what an absolutely outstanding, exceptional experience the 3 days on Safari were for us. Ken could not have done any more for us to give us the best possible safari, and it was. Ken had a world of Knowledge about all forms of wildlife from the BIG FIVE, plants, flowers, birds, fish and he had a lovely sense of humor which was a pleasure. It was one of the best memories of our lives, we were so sad to leave and we cant wait to go again.
Even as we moved on to continue our holiday in Mombasa, Natural World Kenya Safaris were still there to assist us with obtaining train tickets, with our baggage, and transferring us between stations, hotels and airports. Harrison, Michael and James all lending a hand, sometimes on the spur of the moment, always so friendly and cheerful. The accommodations while on the actual Safari were phenomenal, we were given the most exciting welcomes, singing staff and huge friendly smiles. They could not have done any more to make us feel comfortable. Could not recommend this company, and their wonderful staff, highly enough .

Safari Adventure
This was our first safari so I did not know what to expect. The Holiday turned out to be more of an adventure and it was thoroughly enjoyable. We took the 7 day begin / end at Nairobi option.
2 nights at the Amboseli park, Great intro and lots of elephants
One night by Lake Naivasha (great boat trip and walking safari - animals very tame so you get close up),
one night at Lake Nakura (visiting Hells Gate for a bike safari - great, and a canyon scramble - also much fun)
2 nights in the Mara - excellent
Patricia from Natural World was very helpful and quickly responded to my questions. Our driver / guide Hussein was very knowledgeable, patient and helpful.
We elected to take the luxury accommodation options and they worked out well. See separate reviews of each camp / lodge.
The itinerary was quite challenging but we did manage to fit it all in. Driving (as a passenger) in Kenya is quite an experience and there are a lot of lorries on the road so it can take some time to get from A to B. If you have the cash think about some internal flights. Having said that the car journeys do give you more of an insight into the country as you can see all of the hustle and bustle of road side trading, shops, motorcycle taxis, the farming and geography of the place.
Once in the parks it’s a different story.
The land Cruiser vehicles are actually a modified Land Cruiser pick up with a modified back end of various lengths depending on how many seats are fitted. We were in a 9-seater version and there were only 2 of us so plenty of space. The roof lifts up giving you a 360 degree view once standing and some sun shade also.
I was surprised how close you can get to the animals and seeing them close up is really special.
We were lucky to get views of Kilimanjaro on both days we were at the Amboselli Park and saw a lot of elephants.
We both ate like horses and expected to pile on a lot of weight but were pleasantly surprised when stepping on the scales back home. You do spend quite a lot of time on your feet looking at the animals and all of the fresh air whizzing past drives a healthy appetite !
I had travelled a lot in the past so I was too relaxed about my jabs and found out a bit late that I needed a Yellow Fever jab so check that out early and get them done ahead of your visit.
We did encounter a few other groups with young children and It looked like hard work. I have 3 kids, all grown up now, but to watch the animals you need to be patient and watch quietly. So think carefully about a family trip and how to make the most of it.
As for cost i thought it was good value for money. All you pay on top is your flights, hotels at Nairobi, your bar bill and tips.
Overall a great holiday adventure - already thinking about another safari next year. I would definitely recommend Natural World Safaris.

Magical!!!
Sammy was our guide and he was amazing! Stayed at Ilekelani camp and it was like a hotel room. Food was excellent. Could not have been better. Perfect time of the year to go. 75f degrees and no mosquitos. The migration had started so the land was full of animals. Only stayed one night but saw almost everything more than once. You must go!!!!!!

Fantastic experience
We took this trip for my daughter's 21st, with three generations of the family. The whole trip was wonderful, right from the first experience of making the booking with Patricia. Fred, our driver, was brilliant, very friendly and knowledgeable, even arranging a surprise birthday cake, and helpful with our older family members who were slower. Accommodation was all arranged for us, staff were brilliant, particularly at the Osero lodge. I highly recommend this company.

Amazing tour with an amazing company!
Natural World Kenya Safaris did an excellent job of making arrangements for a friend and myself to go on a 3-day trip to Masai Mara. Communication with Pauline was detailed and prompt and she answered all of my questions. Our driver was right on time, giving us a call just before arriving. We had an amazing safari with a very professional and knowledgable driver. Our accomodation was the "economy" choice of the Enkorok campsite. Economy is not the word that I would use, but rather luxury tenting; it was fantastic. The tents were spacious, clean, and the food was excellent, especially the soups! Our driver was able to find an incredible number of animals and coordinated with other drivers to find the more rare ones like a leopard! I have been on safaris with other companies, but so far Natural World Kenya is the best one without a doubt.
