Unforgettable trip with guide Simon
5/5

Unforgettable trip with guide Simon
Going on a safari with Safari Update Travels was the highlight of my trip to Kenya. From the first contact on email, till the very last process, the entire team has made my trip an unforgettable one. Silas who took my reservation was so kind and available, He advised me on the tours, the different options, the tented camps. Always answering my questions promptly.

I spent 6 days on safari, with the most incredible guide Simon. Super kind, making sure I had the most amazing experience from the different places I’ve been to. He knew every single animal we encountered, taking time to explain the difference between male and female, how to differentiate one from the other. I couldn’t have wished for a better guide and next time I come to Kenya, I won’t hesitate on which guide to go with.
He wasn’t tired of me asking to stop for more pictures and he was making his best to get me the best scenes. A truly great safari experience comes from the people who guide you and it has made this journey one to remember.

Excellent Safari and Best guide James!
5/5

My Husband and I traveled to Kenya for our honeymoon in August 2021 with Safari Update Travels. We had the most memorable time with their team and the whole process was like a breeze. Linsel was very helpful throughout the trip.

Our trip including 4 days in Masai Mara, 2 days in Nakuru, Naivasha area and 2 days in Amboseli.

The land cruiser car was in splendid condition with comforts like a large size fridge and WiFi.

What stood out of the whole trip was James our safari guide. He's a remarkable guy with more than 15 years of safari experience, he made our trip very memorable and adventurous, he's not only a good driver and a guide but also a wild life and biodiversity enthusiast.

We would suggest James and Safari Update Travels to everyone planning a trip to Kenya.

Terrific Safari with the best guide Simon!
5/5

My husband and I had an amazing experience with Safari Update Travels company, their staff and what they offered. When booking the trip I worked with Silas who promptly returned my emails and made the entire booking process so easy. We chose a 3 night 4 day safari visiting Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara. All we can say is “Terrific” Our tour guide Simon, was accommodating to our needs and extremely informative. He went above and beyond to make sure we saw the big 5 and more. Thanks Simon! What an incredible experience that we will never forget.

Our driver Moses was great. Linsel at the office responded appropriately to our mails. We were also lucky to see the leopard twice during our safari. The wildlife was impressive. The Jambo Mara accommodation and personnel was very nice. Top notch!

Unforgettable experience!
5/5


We had such a great time on Safari and also the planning procedure beforehand went smoothly. We had a customised trip and the customer service was really excellent, making sure that all our wishes were fulfilled and they replied so quickly!
The trip itself was wonderful, the lodges and camps simply amazing. Our driver was great, he knew so much and his orientation around the different parks was excellent.
I really recommend this company, also to people who have no experience with travelling in Africa. We felt safe and taken care of throughout the entire period.

Best Tour Company
5/5

My Wife and I booked a 3 day safari and worried at first that 3 days wouldn’t be enough time to see any animals, we had high hopes of seeing the Big Five. Boy was I wrong, Jimmy, our driver made sure that we had a full on safari experience in the short time we had. We were able to see 4 out of the Big Five plus a lot of other animals. Jimmy was very knowledgeable about both the park and the animals. Also Linsel assisted with booking and was amazing too. He made sure all our travel needs were met. He even arranged our Covid Test after the safari was over.

Thank you Safari Update Travels
5/5

Amazing experience from the first message of enquiry to the last minute before dropping us back to our residence. Linsel provided detailed information and assistance every step of the way, from months in advance to when we arrived in Kenya.

Martin, our driver, was very informative. He answered every question. He was very patient and delivered on every request.

We couldn't have chosen a better tour company other than Safari Update Travels.

Thank you!

We love Kenya!
5/5

This is our third trip to Kenya with Safari Update Travels. We love visiting Kenya and the staff at Safari Update Travels make things very easy. I had many questions about traveling during COVID, but Silas made it easy and explained everything.

We did a 12 day safari with Simon as our guide. Simon is excellent and his knowledge of Kenya, the parks and wildlife is amazing. Plus, he is a wonderful human.

This trip again exceeded our expectations from the service, to the camps, to the game drives.

If you are thinking of traveling to Kenya use Safari Update Travels. You will not be disappointed!

Lastly, if you are afraid or hesitant of traveling during the Covid-19 period, don't be!
Kenya is safe and they take every precaution to keep citizens and tourists safe!

5/5

I had a trip with Safari Update Travels.
Silas and Linsel arrived at my hotel on time and introduced me to James the driver. The whole 3 days were great, I really enjoyed it. The national park is big and busy with lots of animals. I recommend this company as they have a professional guide.

Absolutely wonderful safari. Martin was our guide. He was very knowledgeable, courteous, professional in every way. We appreciate how he gave us so much information about Kenya, the Masai people and the Masai Mara. Martin allowed us to see The Big 5. The best guide ever. Linsel from Safari Update Travels responded to all of our questions and concerns promptly. He was very patient and professional. We highly recommend Safari Update Travels.
