Just finished our safari, it was wonderful
We had a 5 days luxury safari with Sino Africa Safari. It was beyond our expectations! We had a chance to see a lot of animals althrough the weather was not very good! Our driver guide did his best! We saw 9 lions and 5 cheatahs and 2 rhinos, a lot of buffalo and elephants! Big Five animals achieved!

Fascinating safaris
It’s our 2nd time visiting Kenya. The trip was well organized and we have had an amazing experience exploring different parks and seeing a lot of wild animals. Many thanks to Mr. Le Li, who had been working hard to make our trip to Kenya Safe, memorable and fascinating. Our safari guide Solomon was friendly and knowledgeable. He is an experienced driver and drove us safely around the country. His predictions of animal movement often secure us a very good, sometimes the best position for photograph or observation. Meanwhile he followed the rules and showed respect for nature and wildlifes. We saw Martial Eagle capturing a newborn Thomson’s Gazelle, a male Impala running into a pride of lions (18 lions in total), as well as other amazing encounters. Would definitely recommend Sino Africa to my friend who is interested in visiting Kenya.

Simply amazing
Comparing many travel agencies, knowing that Manager Li is a Shanghai compatriot who grew up in Nairobi, we finally chose SINO, and it turns out that we did not choose wrong!Manager Li's response speed is very fast, and the itinerary and advice provided are very professional.We chose a homestay in Naivasha and Manager Li will help us determine the specific location of the accommodation, and inform us of the nearby attractions and restaurants.During the safari trip, he would call back from time to time to ask if we were satisfied, and I really appreciated him!
HI!George!I'm Pumbaa!!!
George is the driver arranged for us by Manager Li, he was never late and waited for us every day on time.And he will explain some interesting facts about animals to us every day for the 8-day journey,George's eyes were very sharp, and he could find hyenas hiding in them when he drove through the bushes!!!
We offered to have a local breakfast and George started calling the restaurant in the evening and booking it for us!
With george‘s guide,we saw BIG FIVES, cheetah!Timon!A large flock of pink flamingos!And last day,we saw a big group of lions!Lions and cheetahs passed by our car!!!
On the way back to Nairobi, George prepared a little surprise for us!!!We were so happy!!!No wonder Manager Li said George was the best driver!
We highly recommend Manager Li and George, George is a bit like a father(hahahaha), no slippery tongue, serious about doing his daily work.
Friends in China, you can rest assured to choose sino!

An outstanding experience!
Some decisions you never regret... Going on a Safari is one of them, and choosing Sino African is another one! When we began planning our Safari, we researched several tour operators, but Sino African stood out for their accommodating, creative, and flexible approach. They provided options that we hadn't considered and warned us when some of our ideas didn't make sense. It felt like a genuine partnership rather than a sales pitch or a matter of "choose one of the options" - which was the case with many of the other operators we compared. This partnership approach also meant we had greater control over the price, and we ended up with a competitive price point that met our goals.
Sino African also provided a range of planning documents that made things like hotel selection, obtaining a Kenya visa, and health precautions very straightforward. Their agent was incredibly responsive to our emails and texts throughout the planning process, not just before booking, and they helped us to realize our wishes and ideas right up until the last day of our Safari.
One word on the name of the company: Initially, we had reservations about choosing a company where the name implies a focus on customers of a specific demographics, implying maybe a focus on that language or food. As American travelers, we were unsure if Sino African would be the right choice for us. However, our concerns proved to be unfounded. Sino African exceeded our expectations with their impeccable English and ability to meet our needs perfectly. Their level of service, professionalism, and attention to detail left us pleasantly surprised. Looking back, we highly recommend Sino African to anyone considering a safari adventure in Africa.
Finally, our safari guide, Solomon, was simply outstanding. We realized in hindsight that even with perfect planning, our Safari experience would not have been the same without the quality of our guide. With Solomon, we hit the jackpot! He was friendly, patient, and a calm driver - a trait that was especially valuable in the hectic Kenyan traffic. Solomon was level-headed when it came to adjusting plans due to weather, wildlife, or other delays. Most importantly, he was incredibly knowledgeable about everything - from Kenyan politics, geological features, history, culture, customs of different tribes, back roads, and, of course most of all: wildlife. His knowledge of the animals was truly breathtaking, and he managed to share it with us in bite-sized pieces whenever we saw the animals in their natural habitat. This made our Safari experience truly unforgettable. Overall, it was Solomon who made our Safari adventure such a memorable and amazing experience.

Fantastic Safari with Great Company
This was our first safari and we couldn't have chosen a better company than Sino Africa Tours.
Jong coordinated the planning of our safari. He provided us with all the necessary information and did his best to include all our requests in the plan. He was very professional and helpful and focused on every little detail.
Our safari trip included visiting Masai Mara, Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hell's Gate and Amboseli.
Solomon is the best tour guide and driver you could ask for. He made sure we saw all the 'big five' and many other animals. He was very knowledgeable and professional and gave us a lot of interesting information. He always drove us safely around the country and took care of everything. He had a sense of humor and was always in a positive mood.
The accommodation was well chosen, comfortable and the locals were fantastic. The food was always delicious.
Huge thank you for the fantastic memories and the perfectly organized safari. Great job and I can fully recommend you to all who are looking for special and memorable safari.

Best company, unforgettable experience!
Sino Africa Safari was the perfect company for our 10-day private Kenya & Tanzania safari. After contacting over 30 companies, Sino appeared the best one, and this was proven right. Jong was extremely friendly, helpful, professional and efficient, helping us with our itinerary and optimising all of the things we wanted to do in the time that we had (5 different national parks) and with our budget. He proposed us a really great price compared to all of the other companies, some of which were an absolute rip off. Jong was approachable and contactable for any questions we had leading up to our holiday, over whatsapp, email and video calls, and he was always helpful and reassuring including for any admin needs such as visa, jabs, etc. He even phoned the guides during our safari to check how things were going and see if we needed anything else. This was one of his many lovely gestures and showed that he genuinely cares about his customers.
Our guide for Kenya, Tony, was knowledgeable, flexible, timely and professional. The roads were very bumpy and challenging but he managed these well. We also appreciated his patience when he took us around Nairobi on our last day, to enable us to see everything we wanted.
Our guide for Tanzania, Ruben, was very friendly, approachable, flexible and knowledgeable. He gave us a lot of information about the animals, and also the Tanzanian culture. He was always very attentive to our needs. We felt safe at all times with both of our guides.
We would highly recommend Sino. They are a very big and professional company who provide fair prices, treat their guides well, and provide all of the knowledge, safety and professionalism needed on a safari. The lodges and tented camps that we stayed in were comfortable and often very beautiful. If you are looking for an unforgettable and well-organised safari experience, look no further - Sino is the company to book with!
