The Perfect Safari!
I wanted a private jeep short safari, I definitely got it.
Driver: Simon was a great driver and very resourceful - He had great experience with the park and respected how close to get.
Company: Silas and Xavier were excellent to deal with my questions plus they have an easy online payment system.
Accommodation: Is obviously as per the particular type you choose (low, mid, high). Our mid range was pretty cool, considering peak season.
Masai Mara National Park: awesome, saw big 5 plus herds of wildebeest, zebra, buffalo. Whilst I had read about this I honestly didn't think I would see all of this on my first safari.
Overall - perfect safari.

Well done Safari Update!
We were nervous about going through a foreign company, but in the end we were really glad we did. Not only does the money get invested in the country and goes to the people who actually need it, but Safari Update Travels gave us a fantastic experience.
We dealt with Silas from the office and he was patient and prompt. Our first stop was at Tsavo West where we had a guide, James, who was excellent and we were sad to see him go when we switched parks. I would definitely recommend James.
Safari Update Travels also took care of the little things, like a transfer from the airport to our hotel and then to the restaurant Carnivore - our package also included a prepaid dinner at Carnivore which was a nice surprise to finish off the Safari.
I have no hesitation recommending Safari Update Travels and am working on my parents to use them when they travel to Africa. Well Done!!!

Excellent First Time Experience!
We booked the 5 day, 4 night safari and everything about it was fantastic. We had never been to Africa and I was a bit clueless as what to book and for how long etc but after a simple email to Silas who works in the office, he just asked for some rough dates and duration and tailor made a safari for us that took a night in Amboseli, a night at Lake Naivasha and then 2 nights in Masai Mara.
Our guide/driver, Simon, picked us up and was truly exceptional. His knowledge and help were spot on and we only felt like we weren't asking him enough! He told us all about the Kenyan culture, tribes, history and of course everything about the wild and animals we saw.
We opted for standard accommodation and it was amazing. The camps/lodges we stayed at were really nice, all with pools, good showers and great facilities - a bar :)
No complaints whatsoever and fully recommend Safari Update Travels and Simon our guide."

The best tour company
We did a 3-day, 2-night safari with Safari Update Travels to Masai Mara. They are awesome. They were very friendly and accommodating. They put us in a nice camp and the driver went out of his way to help us spot a ton of animals in the park. (The only one we didn't see was the rhino, but that's hard to spot in the Mara anyways). He even helped us park the car in a way that allowed us to take nice selfies with the animals! Safari Update Travels made my trip to Kenya one to remember!

Simply the best!
We recently came back from Masai Mara Safari in Kenya. A big thank you to Safari Update Travels for planning and ensuring our safari was a success. from the Start everything was smooth. Communication they respond to emails quickly they were ready to assist any given time especially now that with Covid-19 new regulations are in place. We stayed at a budget camp just outside masai mara. The tents were ensuit with clean bathrooms and comfortable beds, we had no complain on their meals as we already knew before booking. We saw many animals including. Cheetah, lions, elephant, topis, zebras, giraffe, so many more, we also went to Mara to river where we found crocodiles and hippos.
Thank tou so much Silas for always checking on us to ensure we were comfortable while on the safari. We highly recommend them Safari Update Travels.

Fantastic Safari Experience!
I booked a solo trip to Masai mara for a 3 day safari with Safari update Travels. Silas was very very professional in the way he communicated and giving detailed information. He answered all the questions i asked being my first time on a safari I wanted to get every detail.
He booked for me Sopa lodge in Masai Mara. Very nice rooms and good i say. The staff their we so accommodating. We went for game drives for all the 3days and words can not express what an exciting experience it was.. from the Landscape, wildlife masai mara, our driver guide James. It such a magical experience. I enjoyed every moment of it. I can highly recommend safari update Travels going to a safari in Kenya. Keep up the good work!
