Awesome Safari Experience!
Awesome Safari Experience!
Quick in responding and as helpful as possible. Made sure we got what worked best for us.
My friends and I contacted Silas for this safari and could not have been happier. He helped us work on duration of stay, pricing etc what was best suited for us and provided detailed itineraries right away. A lot of other safari company's we talked to tried to hype the price. but this wasn't the case at Safari Update Travels, we got great value for our money. The transport was excellent, the lodging was great, the driver (Simon) was knowledgeable about the locations and animals as well as funny and kind shout-out to him. The food was also top notch. I would highly recommend Safari Update Travels to anyone going on a safari in Kenya, I will also be sharing the same to all friends that will be travelling there soon. Thank you Silas and everyone for a great experience!!

Best Tour Guide Peter!
Our guide Peter was fantastic. He has very sharp eyes to point out the animals that I never would have seen. He is also extremely knowledgeable about each animal and how they live and behave. The game drives were so informative and engaging! We were situated closely with giraffes, elephants, and lions.
As a person, Peter is very very kind. We had many laughs and stories during our 3 days with him. From recommendations about different restaurants to stories about his children and life, I was always very comfortable talking with him. He stopped at the Great Rift Valley for me so that I could take pictures and even assisted us with booking train tickets to Mombasa. I am happy to have made such a lovely friend during an exciting excursion. I cannot recommend Peter enough!!

Well curated Safari!
My husband and I took 3 day safari with Safari Update Travels. They were very responsive from the moment we made an enquiry to the end of our safari. Linsel and Silas staff at Safari Updates warmly received us at the airport and we started feeling safe and at home from that moment. James was our driver for the entire safari. He was always on time and very helpful with organizing everything. He made it feel like a well curated trip with a very knowledgeable friend. He knows where to spot the animals and drives with good orientation skills. We highly recommend Safari Updates. Hope to come back!!

From the moment I started communicating with the team a Safari Update Travels I could tell that they were professional, and service-oriented. Linsel was very helpful with the planning.
Our driver Simon arrived on time. He was showed us all the animals we hoped to see and he's all about the good vibes. I was laughing the entire safari.
We were well treated at the camp, had breakfast by the Mara river, nice sundowner, and replenishing dinner in the evenings which is what we needed after a long day of safari. The camp had stable internet, hot water and we were surrounded by the most beautiful nature. From the camp, we could see the hippos and crocodiles in the water and one hippo was known and heard to visit the camp. We also got packed lunch.
The itinerary was exhaustive and we were more than happy when coming back to Nairobi.
Next time we will definitely book an extra day as we were a little sad to leave. Kudos Safari Update Travels.

10/10 Rate with confidence!
Excellent communication, very Professional, attention to clients interests, budget and period of stay. From the first contact I had with them to the minute I was dropped at the airport for my flight back home. Pure flawless delivery. Simon is absolutely the best. Always on time, hard worker, caring, good hearted, great sense of humor, honest and sincere. He was my guide for 5 days and I could not have asked for a better guide. The way he treats clients is admirable. If you go to Kenya - this is the company to use from authentic experience, local guides, experience, quality, reliability, price, communication, and service. I gladly rate them 10/10 with confidence!

Highly Recommend Safari Update Travels
We did a private 6 days and 5 nights safari in a cruiser guided by our awesome driver Peter. We visited Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. We had a great time with Peter as he's professional, very approachable and also an excellent driver. Moreover, he had good contacts with other drivers in the parks which meant that in case there was something good to be seen, he would be informed. He also spotted a couple of animals himself well before we could see them.
The accomodations was superb, the food included. I can't actually think of any point of criticism towards the safari. All in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend Safari Update Travels to anyone who's looking for a safari in Kenya.

Exceptional Safari Highly recommended!
I thoroughly recommend this company. We had an unforgettable experience for the few days. Our guide James was professional, knowledgable, enthusiastic, entertaining and kind. He made us have a great and amazing experience. Ask for him. He was also a great driver and good company on the return trip from Mombasa to beautiful Watamu. Our office contact, Silas, was also great to deal with. Amboseli was stunning & we saw all the wildlife we had hoped to see.

Very knowledgeable tour guide and Excellent customer care!
Very knowledgeable tour guide and Excellent customer care!
Absolutely incredible experience with Safari Update Travels. We choose 3-day Safari in Masai Mara, it was the best choice based on the experience and price for us. Linsel organized everything perfectly and thanks to Jimmy we were able to see almost every animal in Masai Mara (best eyes in Kenya, he could see every tail hiding in the bush). We were staying in Enkorok camp which gave us an authentic feeling of staying in the wild (and food was great). On the last day, Linsel was so kind and booked for us a train ticket to Mombasa. After a safari tour, we continued to travel across Kenya and Linsel was very supportive the whole time.
At first, we thought the bookng amount was too high but we decide to go with it. The value for our money was excellent, we even felt we paid less regarding the experience we had. I highly only recommend. During our tour we met other tourists who did not get the experience we had.
I especially thank Linsel and Jimmy for a great experience and I hope we will see each other again.

Incredible service and very attentive
We booked two honeymoon safari trips with Safari Update Travels and were blown away. Our driver Sam was so great, he was knowledgeable and did everything he could to get us amazing views of all animals. He is a professional at driving through the parks and knows the ins and outs so well. We could not believe how much we saw and how close we got to all different types of animals, it was a dream come true. Booking process with Silas was great, we booked months before and he answered all our questions. We stayed at the comfort level for both trips (Masai Mara and Amboseli/Tsavo West) and the places were great. Amazing food for all the meals and clean rooms! Simply the best.

Top Class Tour Operator!
The safari tour was excellent. Since the beginning Silas was very helpful and available to answer 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. The hotel was very comfortable as well, clean with good food, different options and good taste. The rooms were charming and we had all comforts while having an authentic experience.
Finally our guide Simon was the cherry on top of the cake. He was prompt to answer all of our questions, always trying to get us to places where we could see every animal. He explained a lot of details about the wildlife of Masai Mara, even the birds.
I would 100% recommend this experience and Safari Update travels to everyone! Looking forward to having more safaris with you.
