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!!

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!

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!

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

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.
