More personalized, more affordable than the big safari tour companies (Gamewatchers, Expert Africa)
Natural Tour Kenya Safaris provided me with an experience of a lifetime. For 9 days, I had a private guide/driver for 3 different reserves in Kenya. My guide was extremely knowledgeable, tracking wildlife and providing background information. Because I had a private driver, my schedule revolved around my availability, rather than the set times for day and afternoon game drives given by the camps. Also, I traveled solo to Kenya, so the private guide/driver provided me with an extra sense of security.
Because this was my second safari to Kenya, I knew the itinerary I wanted to have. I contacted 3 different safari companies, stating the camps/reserves I wanted to visit. The well-known safari companies, quoted me $6000 more than Natural World Kenya Safaris! Natural World is Kenyan owned, so they are able to keep costs down, cutting out the middle man of travel agents, but keeping the revenue local. My only disappointment with the agency was that I wanted a more detailed itinerary months in advance. However, with the last minute changes in flight times for airstrip transfers, I can understand why I received the itinerary a few days in advance of my arrival.
I highly recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris- you won't be disappointed.

perfect planning to enjoy Masai Mara efficiently in two days
Good service - they also gave us Masai blanket to prevent cold during safari tour
Skilled guide - He has good skill to find lots of animals. We could see most of Big5 except Rhino(rhino is hardly seen there) and cheeters hanting gazers. And also he has very good driving skills on dirt/rough roads.
Good selection of accomodation - they chose nice lodge which has very clean rooms and serves good foods.
Perfect time schedule - We immensely enjoyed safari tour and Masai village in 2 days and could get back to Nairobi before 17:00.

2019 Kenya and Tanzania safari a dream trip with NWKS, the best company and staff
I received a recommendation from a friend in Mexico who used this tour operator, which meant a lot for us, so we have the guarantee that it was going to be a trustable company and high-quality service. So, from the very beginning of our planning, all the communications were great, on time, very informative, accurate, prompt and kind. John was mi contact and I have only words to thank him for making of our safari an amazing experience for our family. He always was able and kind to answer all my doubts, made all changes I required in order to personalize our tour. We chose deluxe accommodations for Safari in Kenya and Tanzania; our selection was 8 days plus one day in Nairobi with a city tour.
We were received at the airport from the staff of NWKS with a warm welcome and were drove to our hotel in Nairobi to spent the night. Next day morning we went to Tanzania border to make change of vehicles and guides.
Thomas was so wonderful and it was an amazing coincidence that he attended my friend last year, so in some way we were connected.
It is important to mention that you have a different driver-guide and vehicle in Kenya and Tanzania, but the change is made in a smoothly, kind and quickly way. Thomas stayed with us until we finished the migration process and introduced us to Immanuel our driver-guide for Tanzania.
Tanzania was our first contact with African Safaris and definitely it was amazing. Immanuel our guide-driver was kind, helpful, with great knowledge of the parks, reserves and places. He always took well care of all our family. Every day he was on time, keep the truck clean, arranged the picnic meals and he assured that everything was ok during the check in and check out of each hotel.
During the game drives he was always very informative and always looking to find not only the big five, but many other amazing animals, with important information.
He became part of our crew during those days, always with a big smile.
We had amazing experiences, views, animal facts, land scapings and memories in Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro.
We had the opportunity to observe part of the beginning of the migration of wildebeests and zebras.
We would've skipped the visit to Lake Victoria and the fisher village, as well as the hotel stay, but it was part of the safari and we didn't have an idea how it was going to be.
Our favorite lodge in Tanzania was Lake Manyara Kilimamoja Lodge, it is an astonishing property, full of beautiful details in decoration and service, I have no words to describe our short but amazing stay.
Once the safari ended in Tanzania, we reached the border with Kenya, where we were received by Thomas our second guide-driver, but Immanuel stayed with us until we finished migration process and made the change of vehicle.
It was the moment of the goodbye for Immanuel, we felt little sad, as he had been part of pour family during those days. We always remember our talks, our laughs and the Swahili words we learned from him. Jambo, Asante Sana , Karibu, Hakuna Matata, Rafiki, Kwaheri, and some others will have a special meaning in our life.
Then we started our Safari in Kenya in Masai Mara. Thomas, as well as Immanuel was very kind, friendly, with a vast knowledge of animals, habits, etc. that he shared with us in every game drive.
He promised that we would see also the Big Five and many more and so we did.
Every day he puts his best efforts to find the animals and we had the opportunity to observe amazing spectacles of the nature.
As well as in Tanzania Thomas made sure that everything was ok during check in and check out process, handled the picnic meals, stayed on time with the clean truck nad had great energy during all game drives.
Masai Mara was also an amazing adventure, we enjoyed beautiful sunrises and sunsets and awesome views of wild animals.
Our stay in Melia Serengeti was a memorable one and we really enjoy our days over there.
Finally, Thomas took us back to Nairobi to rest and have our city tour next day.
I want to mention two important facts during our Safaris. In both Tanzania and Kenya, during our game drives we found a vehicle with tourists in problem, and both Immanuel and Thomas assisted them until the problem was resolved.
It proofs the quality of the guides, they not only take care of their own passengers, but of their colleagues in case of emergency. And both of them were able to fix the problem, not the other guides even when others stopped by.
Our last day in Nairobi we took the city tour visiting the Elephant Orphanage, the Giraffe Centre and the Karen Blixen Museum. We loved all activities and James was very helpful and kind also during all day.
They dropped us at the airport for our night flight.
Kenya and Tanzania were an important trip in our life, full of so many important and exciting memories that I cannot describe all of them. We had valued experiences not only regarding wild life, but gastronomic, lodging, culture, history and people in Kenya and Tanzania.
Our memorable moments: Lake Manyara since it was our first contact with wild animals, Ngorongoro crater, the Big Five, Leopard in a three, 5 cheetahs crossing the road in front of us, seeing part of the big migration, watching a couple of lionesses devouring a wildebeest and then the appearance of the lion, found among hundreds of zebras an albino zebra, lions resting in the rocks, watching male giraffes necking , oh, there are so many.
Other important facts that we observed during our safaris were that parks and reserves are clean, no residues in picnic areas nor roads, they respect the plastic ban.
We are truly thankful with NWKS for helping us to have a successful dream trip, they exceeded our expectations. I would not hesitate in recommend them.

Outstanding customer service and professional and knowledgeable guides and drivers.
John who took care of our booking answered every possible question swiftly and accurately. He and his team delivered a well thought out bespoke itinerary nd handpicked our driver Kim who was phenomenal. Family holiday of a lifetime successfully delivered and we had a final day check in with owner Mr. Humphries made us feel that the whole service from beginning to end was professionally run with pride taken in all aspects. Brand new vehicle top spec when we compared to other 4wd we saw. Would not go with another company. Huge thanks to Kim for being top notch and delivered everything with genuine smile and care.

Great safari!
We are really enthusiastic about how our safari was managed. Booking has been really easy and each topic we discussed with Patricia was clearly covered. Safari was customized according to our request. At our arrival our driver and guide Anderson was outside the airport waiting for us; he's been a wonderful fellow for our one-week safari.
All aspects of safari was complying to what we had agreed during booking phase. We've visited masai mara, lake naivasha, amboseli and tsavo west. All accomodations were very good to us and the food was ok too.
I reccomend to rely on National Word safaris Kenya to arrange the awesome experience a safari can be!!!

Everything well planned. Natural World Safari have made the best tour for me and my husband.
We went to Tsavo East and West. First of all the tour guide came before time waiting to pick us up from our hotel. (fantastic)
On the way we got a lot of information of what we were going to see.
And really we did see all the animal promised in the brochure. Buffalo, elefants, lions, girafs, all what we hoped to see, came true.
We stayed overnight in a lovely camp, where we got very good food and slept well.
On the second day we stayed in Tsavo West, Serena Lodge. It was an amazing place. From the lodge you could watch animals
drinking by the waterhole a bit below. Fantastic service and food.
This safari totally fulfilled our expectations.

They made sure we had the best expereince!
Since traveling to Kenya in and of itself is expensive, my friends and I chose the economy 5 day safari. We were all pleasantly surprised by the sleeping accommodations and dining provided. They made sure we were pleased with our service by calling twice during our safari and our driver, Peter, made sure we saw the big 5 and everything else we wanted to see. We could not have been more happy with our visit to Kenya and Natural World Safaris was a huge part of that. Thanks you! Plus, the gifts of shukas for all of us was a very nice added touch and a souvenir of our trip.

Dream safari!!!
From beginning to end our Safari was absolutely fantastic! Our driver and guide, George, was super friendly and knowledgeable and he was a great fit for me and my husband’s trip. We did a private safari which was perfect for us. He let us choose what we want to do and where we wanted to go and how long we wanted to spend. Everything was perfectly arranged from the food the accommodations with good communication.
