Wonderful safari to Masai Mara!
This safari was one to remember. I made arrangements to visit Masai Mara during my vacation and Safari Update Travels made it possible. I arrived in the Mara in the afternoon hours and then set out straight for the afternoon drive. It was quite refreshing. The camp I stayed at was very accomodating and cosy, to top it up it had bonfires to keep us warm in the cold nights, great food and hot water. I also visited the local Masai village which was nearby so I was able to interact with many members of the community. The best part of the trip by far was our tour guide John. Besides being witty and having a deep sense of humour John is one of the kindest people I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. He went beyond his means to take care of us, and make our trip memorable. Will definitely be back for another tour with Safari Update Travels in the future.

The best of Amboseli!!
We booked our safari with Safari Update Travels and we had no regrets whatsoever because everything went according to our expectations. Our driver John did an excellent job guiding us through the whole safari. The entire safari was very tiresome but quite satisfying. John provided a lot of detailed information about the animals and was more than willing to answer our questions. Unfortunately, the days were cloudy so we were not able to see Mt. Kilimanjaro, but we were fortunate enough to see several animals, thanks to John. It was an excellent 3 days trip to Amboseli.

Very organized, helpful and always on time.
Every detail was clearly communicated, like the itinerary, all the activities planned for were carried out.
The important items needed for the trip were also communicated to us.
We received clarification on anything that was not clear.
The trip was amazing, from the company services to all the activities we engaged in.
Thank you for the experience Xavier, Safari Update Travels.

The best safari planner
We chose Safari Update Travels for a private luxury safari reason being we wanted to get the best, a friend who previously travelled with them also recommended the company which already had great reviews. The safari was perfectly curated thanks to Linsel who went out of his way to make sure we had the best experience 'the best safari planner'. Our guide's name was David, he really knows how to get the safari going because he made sure we had a great trip. We took the flight option and landed at the Masai Mara airstrip. We slept at the Sarova Mara and I can say the reception there is satisfying. They have the best meals prepared by professional chefs. The staff there always check up on you to ensure you are comfortable.
We had an awesome time during our game drives as well as at the camp. We saw most of the big 5 animals including a pride of lions, rhinoceros, buffalos, elephants, zebras and a lot of birds.. To top it up we had the opportunity to visit a Masai village where we got to learn about Masai culture.
I highly recommend booking with Safari Update Travels to get this wonderful experience.

Amazing trip with fantastic guide and accommodations
We had a wonderful time touring Masaai Mara. We loved the lodging at jambo mara and our tour guide Phidel was incredible. We saw so many lions, zebras, giraffes, elephants, and other animals that made our trip 10/10. Would definitely travel with them again.

Non reliable
I planned a family trip with my daughter and Kenyan friend to Kenya for first time. I used safari booking to find the right operator.
I selected safari updates based on reviews which was completely misleading.
Silas sounded professional by providing pricing but he did not change the pricing for my Kenyan friend and took 1700 dollars for 3 days trip to masa marai.
Since we were ladies on own, I requested him for reliable car and he mentioned it 4x4 top luxury which was completely the opposite.
The car stopped 3 to 4 times because of the battery. It was full of dirty masks, broken handles and the driver Charles didn't knew how to open the socket switches to charge our mobiles. The car provided was not anywhere close the to the pictures.
I was frustrated by first day and it was too late to change the plan. Then our driver Charles did not know where animals were, he was just roaming around the park following our operator cars.
When I called Silas, he offered us a free trip to masai village as part of the package which Charles did not have clue about.
The only positive thing about this trip was the hotel people at jambo mara in masa marai. I have to mentioned that they went beyond and above to make us feel comfortable which was completely opposite to what Charles and silas provided.
If I had the option I would rate Silas 0, I don't appreciate dishonesty specially when I had planned my trip in July and paid 50%.
I finished my trip yesterday and I called him expressing all of this, he has vanished and never called back.

Perfect game drive in the beautiful city!
We were group of interns in the country and wanted to take sometime off our busy schedule it being a weekend. We contacted Xavier at Safari Update Travels for a quick safari arrangement and that was the best decision we made. We were timely picked up from our guest house to the park. Many vehicles were also in the park enjoying the eye catching scenery of wildlife. We saw a family of 5 lions just walking next to our vehicle, we have never been that close to a wild animal, you could feel the adrenaline rush. There were also buffalos, rhinoceros, giraffes, zebras and ostriches. We also passed near a water body but the hippos were not present. Our driver John was very professional and knowledgeable. I'd also recommend visiting Nairobi National Park to experience the wild. Thank you Safari Update Travels for the best game drive.
