Satisfying and fun experience
After much and extensive online research, I contacted Silas of Safari Update Travels to book their 3-day Maasai Mara tour for me and my friends. Silas was amazing! He talked me through the options available with my budget, and when I needed to tweak things, He customised the package so that it was perfect. We stayed at Enkorok Mara Camp and we LOVED it. Silas assigned them a brilliant tour guide, Shem who made sure they had the best drives ever, of course culminating with the wildbeast crossing. Enkorok turned out to be an excellent recommendation, and their hospitality, cleanliness, views, everything were on point. Altogether, Silas and Shem of Safari Update Travels, along with the Enkorok team went out of their way to give the best holiday ever. Much, much recommended!

Best customer services
My experience with Safari Update Travels was excellent. The agent (Silas) was patient with us as we weighed different packages and options and was willing to customise the packages to suit our time and budget.
Their response time was excellent and always at hand to clarify issues on phone all through during the trip.
I highly recommend Safari Update Travels!

Awesome and satisfying experience
I went on safari in July 2020 to Masai Mara and stayed at Jambo Mara Safari Camp. There was good communication before the trip and once I arrived in Kenya. My friend in Kenya recommended Safari Update Travels as one they recommended for their visiting friends and family-- a good experience without a lot of frills, and for a reasonable price. Shem, our driver, was very accommodating. There were 6 of us in the van and we all had beautiful views of the wildlife and scenery. The room was super clean and comfortable, and I had a good breakfast each morning. We never felt uncomfortable and had no concerns. The others in the van were younger than me and from several other countries and we had a good time sharing the adventure. I would recommend this trip highly for anyone who wants to enjoy the scenery without a lot of extra frills.

Best Safari Company
I used Safari Update Travels for my trip to Kenya in Feb. I was going for 4 days in total and found it hard to secure a good company. They were very responsive and all the questions I asked were answered with patience and helpful information. Also, may I add they were the only company that didn't harass me which is one of the reasons I chose them.
We had a tour of Nairobi when we arrived which was lovely. We then headed to the Masai Mara with our guide Shem which may I add add was so patient, kind and informative. He couldn't do enough and never pressured us to do something extra.
The masai mara accommodation was out of this world and the safari itself was just unforgettable. We saw everything multiple times. I loved it so much that I know I will go back and I will so use this company again.
I highly recommend Shem as your guide as he is a gentleman.
Thank you for an amazing experience which I will never forget .

Kenya safari- Maasai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha
*Kenyan Safari - Massai Mara, Nakuru and Naivasha*
starting with the quote everything was great in dealing with Safari Update Travels. As this was my first visit to Africa I had a lot of questions about the trip and Shem and his team patiently provided me with all the answers. As soon as I paid my advance I clearly received all the receipts and the required letters for travelling and this process could not have been any smoother.
My wife and I had booked a land cruiser and an itinerary of ONLY Kenya with Massai mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. They picked us up at our hotel as promised right on time and off we went. I do have to especially appreciate our driver and guide Shem as he was fantastic throughout the entire trip. Any and every question we had was answered promptly and no matter how many times we wanted him to stop for pictures of the animals he was ready to do so. He was safe with his driving at all times and the hospitality we received from him was excellent. We stayed at great places with great food based on our dietary restrictions and were also fortunate to have a great game viewing. We also had a fun boat ride at Naivasha and also had an opportunity to hike down the Hell's Gate Gorge and were able to see the volcanic fault lines.
Everything that was promised was delivered !! Loved the experience in working with the company and our guide. I highly recommend this company and will definitely revisit and book my next trip with them soon.

Best safari planners and customer care.
We had this short safari since we were only staying in Kenya for few days, a friend suggested we for us Safari update Travels as a preferred tour company to organize a short 3 days and 2 nights safari since she had worked with them earlier this year. From the start of our plan everything was seamless Silas worked with us to ensure all details were well noted and whenever we needed clarification he quickly responded.
Our guide Samuel was the best, jovial, knowledgeable, well conversant of African wildlife and more so funny.
We saw big 4 except from Rhino which si common not to be seen while on a safari.
We stayed at Sopa lodge, everything awesome. Food, accommodation, freindly services and staff.
We highly recommend SAFARI UPDATE TRAVELS for this safaris. They guys are just on a another level!!
We will travel with you again and again!
