Unforgettable trip with guide Simon
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.
Kennedy wandera, was very excellent, entertaining and we really enjoyed it.
Our safari with Kennedy wandera was really fun , we enjoyed our tour and we would love to do it again .It was the best safari ever, we laughed and got to see the animals pretty much all what we wanted to see

Very professional and excellent service!
I recently went on a trip in Kenya and completed two safaris with Safari Update Travels.
I worked with Linsel to arrange a 3 days trip safari to Amboseli and a half day trip at Nairobi National Park. He was very responsive with his email communication despite our eight hour time difference. It was smooth arranging and a couple days prior to my arrival I had my driver’s name and phone number. They also arranged for pick up at my hotel.
James was my driver and guide for both safaris. I’ve done numerous safaris elsewhere throughout Africa in different countries and I can say without a doubt James was the best. He has the most experience and knowledge I have seen when it comes to safari guides. In addition to the wildlife, I even asked about the various tree species and he knew! Most guides only know animals.
I plan on returning to Kenya next year and will certainly be booking with Safari Update Travels for my safaris.

Top Class Tour Operator!
The safari tour was excellent. Since the beginning Silas was very helpful and available to answer all of our questions. He always tried to reassure us and gave us all details. The information given and the payment procedure were very serious and trustworthy.
As for the safari itself everything went as planned, a private tour in an spacious and comfortable Jeep 4x4 equipped with fresh water and binoculars. The hotel was very comfortable as well, clean with good food, different options and good taste. The rooms were charming and we had all comforts while having an authentic experience.
Finally our guide Simon was the cherry on top of the cake. He was prompt to answer all of our questions, always trying to get us to places where we could see every animal. He explained a lot of details about the wildlife of Masai Mara, even the birds.
I would 100% recommend this experience and Safari Update travels to everyone! Looking forward to having more safaris with you.

Incredible service and very attentive
We booked two honeymoon safari trips with Safari Update Travels and were blown away. Our driver Sam was so great, he was knowledgeable and did everything he could to get us amazing views of all animals. He is a professional at driving through the parks and knows the ins and outs so well. We could not believe how much we saw and how close we got to all different types of animals, it was a dream come true. Booking process with Silas was great, we booked months before and he answered all our questions. We stayed at the comfort level for both trips (Masai Mara and Amboseli/Tsavo West) and the places were great. Amazing food for all the meals and clean rooms! Simply the best.

Very knowledgeable tour guide and Excellent customer care!
Very knowledgeable tour guide and Excellent customer care!
Absolutely incredible experience with Safari Update Travels. We choose 3-day Safari in Masai Mara, it was the best choice based on the experience and price for us. Linsel organized everything perfectly and thanks to Jimmy we were able to see almost every animal in Masai Mara (best eyes in Kenya, he could see every tail hiding in the bush). We were staying in Enkorok camp which gave us an authentic feeling of staying in the wild (and food was great). On the last day, Linsel was so kind and booked for us a train ticket to Mombasa. After a safari tour, we continued to travel across Kenya and Linsel was very supportive the whole time.
At first, we thought the bookng amount was too high but we decide to go with it. The value for our money was excellent, we even felt we paid less regarding the experience we had. I highly only recommend. During our tour we met other tourists who did not get the experience we had.
I especially thank Linsel and Jimmy for a great experience and I hope we will see each other again.

Exceptional Safari Highly recommended!
I thoroughly recommend this company. We had an unforgettable experience for the few days. Our guide James was professional, knowledgable, enthusiastic, entertaining and kind. He made us have a great and amazing experience. Ask for him. He was also a great driver and good company on the return trip from Mombasa to beautiful Watamu. Our office contact, Silas, was also great to deal with. Amboseli was stunning & we saw all the wildlife we had hoped to see.

Highly Recommend Safari Update Travels
We did a private 6 days and 5 nights safari in a cruiser guided by our awesome driver Peter. We visited Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. We had a great time with Peter as he's professional, very approachable and also an excellent driver. Moreover, he had good contacts with other drivers in the parks which meant that in case there was something good to be seen, he would be informed. He also spotted a couple of animals himself well before we could see them.
The accomodations was superb, the food included. I can't actually think of any point of criticism towards the safari. All in all we had a great time and would definitely recommend Safari Update Travels to anyone who's looking for a safari in Kenya.

10/10 Rate with confidence!
Excellent communication, very Professional, attention to clients interests, budget and period of stay. From the first contact I had with them to the minute I was dropped at the airport for my flight back home. Pure flawless delivery. Simon is absolutely the best. Always on time, hard worker, caring, good hearted, great sense of humor, honest and sincere. He was my guide for 5 days and I could not have asked for a better guide. The way he treats clients is admirable. If you go to Kenya - this is the company to use from authentic experience, local guides, experience, quality, reliability, price, communication, and service. I gladly rate them 10/10 with confidence!

From the moment I started communicating with the team a Safari Update Travels I could tell that they were professional, and service-oriented. Linsel was very helpful with the planning.
Our driver Simon arrived on time. He was showed us all the animals we hoped to see and he's all about the good vibes. I was laughing the entire safari.
We were well treated at the camp, had breakfast by the Mara river, nice sundowner, and replenishing dinner in the evenings which is what we needed after a long day of safari. The camp had stable internet, hot water and we were surrounded by the most beautiful nature. From the camp, we could see the hippos and crocodiles in the water and one hippo was known and heard to visit the camp. We also got packed lunch.
The itinerary was exhaustive and we were more than happy when coming back to Nairobi.
Next time we will definitely book an extra day as we were a little sad to leave. Kudos Safari Update Travels.
