Very Organised, hassle free
Travelling with Kiboko tours was the best decision to begin with, co originating with Gibson from the start was very comfortable and hassle free, our needs in regards to hotel, transportation and food(vegetarian) was met, Samuel was our drive and tour guide who drove around, we had wonderful conversations about each other’s cultures, he was very kind to us, without his keen interest of showing us around East Africa we wouldn’t have been able to see all the big 5! Thanks to Gibson, Sam and Kiboko tour team.

What a great tour guide and safari experience!
We feel fortunate to have contracted with Kiboko Tours and Travel for our 8 day Kenya Game Drives. Our driver, Samuel, picked us up at our hotel got us out-of-town and into the beautiful landscapes outside Nairobi. His knowledge of the areas, geography and animals were beyond our expectations. We were very pleasantly surprised at the lodges and camps that Kiboko had arranged. We found the food quality and selection excellent in every camp and this exceeded our expectations as well.

Knowledgable and friendly guides make for a memorable safari.
Going on safari was a lifelong goal for me and my wife, and after disciplined saving throughout COVID we saved enough to spend 11 days on safari in Kenya. I requested quotes from several safari operators. Fortunately, my choice was easy -- Kiboko Tours and Travel offered the most exciting itinerary at the best price.
Leading up to the safari Gibson provided great communication, helping sort through my bank's concerns about transferring a large amount of money to Kenya to someone I didn't personally know. Upon arrival we stayed in a hotel in Nairobi for a day to recover from jet lag, then met Gibson and tour guide + driver Johnson, who picked us up at the exact time and location we'd arranged.
Our safari took us to six location: Samburu, Aberdare, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli. Each location offered its own charms and special moments. If I were planning the trip again, I may choose to skip Lake Naivasha, as it was the one location where we didn't see anything that was completely unique from other stops. Samburu, our first stop, was my favorite location and one of the less visited parks.
We saw all of the major animals (lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, water buffalo, all three subspecies of giraffes, hippos, rhinos, flamingos, both species of zebras, oryx, gerenuk, wildebeest, and more). We also got lucky and saw several rare species: caracal, serval, bush babies, and genets. And, we were lucky enough to spot babies of many species, including two baby leopards playing with their mother, a fluffy baby giraffe, and a baby cheetah.
Throughout the tour Gibson clearly communicated each day's plan and Johnson drove skillfully and spotted many animals. My wife and I are avid birders and we were thrilled that Johnson was not only great at spotting well camouflaged species but knowledgeable about the many varieties of birds in Kenya, including some that are very hard to distinguish. For Johnson and Gibson have a passion for Kenya's wildlife that made our safari a wonderful experience.

Great Safari Experience!
We truly recommend Kiboko Tours for your Safari experience.
We went with my family of four on a safari in Kenya with Kiboko, for 8 days in August 2024. As a European it’s always exciting to book something in an unknown country. Kiboko really supported us in a great wat planning the journey. Already then they provided expertise, flexibility and gave trust in their organization and financial transactions. We had a warm welcome at the airport by Gibson (the owner) and our driver Samuël.
The safari was amazing. Samuël turned out to be very knowledgeable, great driver with an outstanding instinct on where to position the jeep so we could witness the wildlife in action from close range. Awesome. We will never forget this.
We went to several places like Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, cycling and beautiful gorge walk in Hell’ Gate, Nakuru National Park, Mali Saba Camp and finally Masai Mara National Reserve.
We saw the big 5 and have lots of stories to tell. Memoires were made. Thanks Kiboko for making this so enjoyable for us! If we go back we would certainly choose Kiboko again!

Sam is a professional; on time, knowledgeable and friendly.
Kiboko Travels took us to the Masai Mara NP. Booking with Kiboko was easy and Sam communicated through WhatsApp effectively, with great rates you cannot find with massive tourist companies who advertise under chains.
As for our safari, Sam was on time, waiting outside for us as we were running late. We made it to the NP during rainy season so he got us to our hotel even when a road leading to the park was washed away. Getting into the NP and through e-citizen with Sam’s guidance was a breeze.
Once in, we started on our first safari of the 3 days we were with him. We saw a plethora of animals just on the first game drive and were up bright and early, out of the hotel at 6am for the early morning and early afternoon drive. Sam picked up our hotel lunch for us that morning so we spread it under an acacia tree and snacked in the open mara.
Sam was very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the birds. If he spots something, he will back up and explain what we’re seeing. He answers all questions and listens to your feedback.
Overall, this is a great value travel safari company who values their clients. We will travel with Kiboko again.

Best tour operator in Kenya!
Sam is INCREDIBLE!! I cannot recommend him highly enough!! Driving with Sam was an amazing value for money, and we will definitely book him again on our next trip to Kenya!
1) Professionalism: it’s obvious that Sam has years of driving experience. He expertly navigated through traffic and bumpy roads, and I felt so safe with his driving. His english is perfect, and he communicated very clearly about everything. He was reliable and was always on time or early!
2) Game drive: Sam knew where to find all of the animals, and he made sure to give me the best experience, waiting to watch the animals interact in their natural environment to get to know their nature and personalities.
3) Friendliness: Sam was super hospitable and made sure I was well taken care of. He shared information about Kenyan food and culture, and I can say he is a friend after getting to know him!

Excellent!
Great value for money. The experience surpassed all expectations. Sam, skillfully navigated the wild terrain. Most impressively, his ability to tell the way of life of the animals and insight added a layer of depth that made this safari truly unforgettable.
