Superb, informative and exciting safari
5/5

From the very first inquiry email to my departure from Nairobi, Silas and his team at Safari Update Travels could not have been more supportive and friendly. I was met at the airport, delivered to the hotel and throughout the 3 day safari the driver, accommodation and food were superb. It was a private tour for my family and I, the guide was very well informed and helpful. We visited Masai Mara and Naivasha and we saw most of the 'Big 5' animals, elephant, lions, buffalo, hippos and much more.
The game drives were very thrilling as we came up close with the animals. Everything went smoothly.
We were dropped off at the airport after the drive. It was a wonderful experience. Thank you Safari Update Travels.

Very trustworthy safari company
5/5

My hubby and I reserved a seven-day safari in Kenya, and I have to tell that it was an amazing trip! Everything went smoothly, from the preparation stages to the trip's execution.
Silas was thoroughly involved in the planning process, responding to all of our inquiries and making insightful suggestions.
He gave us a cordial welcome at the airport upon our arrival in Kenya and introduced us to Stephen, our highly competent and well-organized guide. Following a lengthy trip, we arrived in Kenya without any issues and were promptly cleared at the airport.
After a few hours of travel, we arrived safely in Mara and were warmly greeted by the personnel at the lodge (Neptune) where we were to spend the next 3 days.
Silas carefully organized every one of our game drives, and we saw some amazing animals.
Everything, including the hotel arrangements, was expertly handled.
Without a doubt, we will use Safari Updates for our upcoming safaris.

Very supportive, reliable and client oriented
5/5

We booked a private safari via Safari Update Travels to Amboseli.
During requesting a quote and booking process, Linsel was very helpful and prompt in answering all our questions.
We were received by Linsel and his colleague at the airport early in the morning and escorted to our car. After giving us all necessary instructions, we started our great tour.
The tour was very well organized and everything went as planned.
Big thanks to our great driver Peter! He was very professional, experienced and has a decent knowledge about all national parks that we visited.
We highly recommend this operator.

Silas was amazing! He booked the tour
5/5

My husband and I went on a 3 day tour. Everything was seamless from the booking while in the United States to actually arriving. We were picked up from Nairobi international and taken to Wilson. The Safari was amazing and we even added on the Hot Air Balloon Safari. The room/hotel was perfect, everything I could have hoped for and more. We did a private Safari and had about 2 game drives a day.

Everything was perfect and I would highly recommend Safari Update Travels!

5/5

Safari Update Travels made it possible for my boyfriend and I to have an amazing time in the Mara. Our guide, Simon, spectacularly tailored his explanations in the best way without breaking a sweat, we were able to see a wide variety of wildlife. We had an amazing experience booking with Safari Update Travels; Linsel in particular was really resourceful in helping us design the ideal itinerary for our trip. It is true to state that Safari Update Travels is a first-rate tour operator with competent and courteous employees. Our guide, Simon, was a pleasure to work with and went above and beyond to make sure we had an amazing trip. All in all, I'm happy that our trip was so wonderful and that we saw so many incredible animals.

Nairobi's best spots to view wildlife
5/5

With Peter as our guide, we had an amazing time on our wildlife tour in Nairobi National Park. Peter is a really competent, kind, and knowledgeable person. Given our interest in bird seeing, he was gracious enough to point out the finest viewing locations. It's a good idea to pack snacks for the journey and to be informed of what is included in the costing as well as any additional fees. I am really grateful to Safari Update Travels for this amazing experience.

Tailored Safaris to suit anyone’s needs
5/5

Well firstly would give more than five stars if I could because our trip exceeded expectations!
Silas was fantastic, easy to communicate and always available for any questions or concerns.
Overall from first contact and quote to drop off safely at conclusion this was an amazing adventure.
Safari Update travel offer lots of various price and itinerary options to suit all needs.
We had a personal travel visa issue which meant changing flights and Silas personally went to airline office to sort out problem out while we were on safari - as a result we enjoyed the game drive and Silas from Safari Update travel fixed the issue for us.
James our guide was a careful driver and excellent ‘game hunter’ in our game drives pointing out so many types of animals birds and all eco systems.
Cannot rate this company highly enough thoroughly recommended.
Thank you for an excellent and very memorable Safari.

Booked a trip for my daughter and I. The booking experience was seamless and the communication top notch. I was a little sceptical travelling with a child for such a long distance, but they made it a memorable experience . Totally recommend having your trip with them.
