Exceptional operator, amazing safari, and very good value for money!
We cannot thank Morindat enough for the wonderful service they provided. Titus helped me every step of the way to plan out our safari in Kenya, he offered us multiple options for different itineraries and provided us with different price options all within our budget.
Everything was perfectly organized and coordinated, from the selection of the itinerary, the airport pickup, the accommodations, the parks selection…everything was just perfect!
Thank you, Titus (the owner) for the experience of a lifetime, and huge thanks to Gideon (the only guide that can spot all big 5 on the first day

Reliable & helpful, with superb customer service -- you truly are in good hands.
This is the best travel/tour agency we have ever used. Titus contacted us via WhatsApp shortly after we inquired about booking a safari in order to ascertain what kind of experience we wanted, and soon thereafter provided us with several options. After we chose our itinerary, he booked two different safari camps for us and arranged all our domestic transportation from Nairobi to the camps, as well as to the coast where we spent a few beach days at the end. Everything he arranged was great.
What really sets this agency apart, though, is Titus' outstanding communication and willingness to help with anything you need. We peppered him with a number of questions while we were preparing for our trip, and he always responded promptly with precise and helpful information. And he really went above and beyond to help us while we were in Kenya. As it turned out, our son unfortunately experienced a medical emergency and needed to visit the hospital shortly before we departed. Titus came to the hospital himself -- in the middle of the night -- to make sure we were receiving proper treatment, and arranged a hotel room for us at the last minute so we had a place to stay after we missed our flight. He drove us from the hospital to the hotel himself, and kept checking in to make sure we were fine until we reached home. He did all of this even though our tour with Morindat had technically ended and he had no further obligation towards us. We had simply called him in a panic in the middle of the night, waking him up, and he immediately helped. He is a good man. Needless to say, we are very thankful and we cannot recommend Morindat highly enough. Thank you, Titus!

Unforgettable and in good hands at all times
We went on a five day safari with Gideon from Morindat Tours. First two nights in Amboseli National Park, then two nights in Tsavo West National Park. It was a wonderful experience from planning to saying goodbye in Nairobi.
We felt that we were in good hands at all times, be it when it came to planning, picking us up at the hotel in Nairobi, during the safari... Either Titus or Gideon were always there to help and advise.
Gideon is a wonderful guide who is very respectful and reliable. He also explains everything wonderfully and sees the animals without binoculars! Our highlight: The Kingfisher, who pointed us to the baboon and finally to the leopard in the tree :-) . Thanks eagle-eyed Guideon! It was an unforgettable experience.
We thank Morindat-Tours and especially Gideon, who made our safari a highlight of our lives.
We unreservedly recommend this company. Reliable, punctual, respectful, informative, trustworthy - what more do you need...?

Kind, knowledgeable and professional safari guides, best experience ever
Absolutely outstanding customer experience with Morindat Tours & Travel Ltd. The experience is not only excellent during the actual trip but starts much earlier from the initial contact (which is via WhatsApp, with the guide/manager himself, who is very responsive and resourceful).
To give some context, we made a 7-day safari in Kenya with Morindat Tours. The moment we arrived in Kenya, we were welcomed by Titus (manager) and our guide (Francis) who explained what was ahead and gifted us two safari hats (as promised). They were extremely kind, helpful and knowledgeable.
During the safari per-se, we spent most of the time with our guide Francis. He was very knowledgeable, answered all our questions and shared his passion for the flora, fauna and landscape we encountered. He also shared some very interesting insights into the local culture. Francis accommodated any requests we had (e.g., extra time for photos, stopping for atms along the way, etc.) and always made us feel comfortable, giving us space and attention when needed. Also important, is that the Morindat safari guides have considerable experience doing safaris, which becomes evident in their experience looking for and spotting animals, and in choosing the right times and grounds for game driving (I have heard that this is not always the case with other companies).
In terms of equipment, the open roof safari jeeps are in excellent conditions and we had no issues. Compared to other vehicles we saw during our safari, ours were perfectly equipped to face the rough terrains of Kenya. Francis proved to be an experienced and safe driver as well. On our way back we also met another guide Gideon (who was present during the organization phase of the trip) and we also welcomed us and treated us in a great way.
The lodges arranged by Morindat are also incredibly good and in total agreement to what was promised.
To sum up, I would not hesitate to organize a safari experience with the Morindat Tours team. We are forever grateful for their role in this unforgettable experience.

Highly recommended!!
Morindat tours provided an excellent service, Titus took care of all our pre travel arrangements. His response time was great. He got back to us pretty quick with all the changes we requested. He went out of his way to help us with our online payment for Kenyan e-visa. Even during our trip, he did check with us intermittently if everything is going well.
And Gideon was our tour guide/driver, who is also one of the partners. He is very punctual, knowledgable and courteous. And the best part is his sense of humor. He is sharp at finding wildlife from far. Our trip turned out very educational as well, we learnt many interesting facts about wildlife and also maasai culture. He arranged local food per our request, which we thoroughly enjoyed.
Overall, we had an amazing experience. Thanks to Morindat tours for making our Kenya vacation stress free and memorable.

Life time experience @ safaris
Have u ever travelled for a vacation with a broken leg?
Yes I did….. but had a life time experience.
I Have no words to thank team Morindat, Titus, Gideon, Sammy & Francis.
As a group of 15 friends, we planned a trip to Mara in 2020. But what happened from 2020 we all know, I don’t want to remind myself about it.
Our trip postponed to next year and then to next year again. Finally 2022, we were all set to travel. Just 3 weeks to go and that was when a twist in the ankle …. Sorry tale happened. Yes I twisted my ankle which resulted in a severe fracture, ouch.!!
Family, friends, colleagues and even my doctor said “no way Mara”! Disappointed ☹️ sad and frustrated about my fate. I told my hubby Srini to cancel my tickets and certainly not having any hopes. How ever God decides different!
Week 2 - There was an important meeting at work and I took a chance to go for the meet and stayed back for 10 hours, with my leg @ 90 degrees on a chair. That was a turning point in my approach. Came back home late evening and told my family & friends “am going to Mara” certainly, but in a wheel chair.
Let me tell you there was some magic @ Mara, that did a miracle to me. Our trip mentors Vimla & Dorai and our leader Anand were bent upon on carrying me on their shoulder to Mara.. not giving up on me. Thank you the 3 of you, I owe you for this.
Our mentor & leader started coordinating with Morindat team @ Mara to ensure that the whole travel is with wheel chair assist. Yes finally I did it completely, did not miss a single safari or a place of visit, competed with all my fellow travellers in all enjoyments.
Thanks to “Team Morindat” for the wonderful life time experience that I had.
Let me talk first about Morindat before I share my mara experience.
Titus - perfect example of how an owner should drive the biz with a personal touch with the travellers. Thanks to flawless planning and pleasant experience that each one of us had.
Gideon - Hey Gidi ! Smart & sharp in spotting animals and always surprises us in every safari. Despite an Owner, he drove us all thru the trip comfortably. He was our Google map of Mara… even in the wildest jungle he was too good in his route. Should we baptise him as “Gidioogle”! Very Knowledgeable and we were lucky to have him lead us end to end.
Sammy - My Mara bro ! Cool, retired army guy, who took care of me in the entire trip. Not a time he hesitated to take out and put the wheel chair back in the van. But for Sammy, my life in Mara would not have been so smooth. He was too good in spotting birds, knew all the Mara birds by their call, amazing birding guy.
My fellow traveller and my life partner, who is a troublesome kid when it comes to photography. Always keeps shouting stopppp… stop..stop. Sammy will stop the van bang on .. it took a day for him to understand what a stop..stop…stop means. Started saying “Hakuna mattata!” Means no problem… in turn we taught him a more or less equivalent funny word for him “pona pogattum”. Every safari we enjoyed with Sammy. Icing on the cake, when he woke up the sleeping jungle king just 50 mtrs away with his recorded lioness call. Thank you my bro, Sammy for all the experience.
Francis - I spoke just once or twice to him but cannot forget his face for my life time. Was challenging to take a photo of me while I try to touch the lions mane. Sorry didn’t have that chance though .

Best experience ever…
Morindat Tours’ hospitality started right at the Airport when we landed in Nairobi airport. They were so helpful that we managed to pick up local SIM cards while we waited for our group to finish their CIQ.
We then proceeded to a city hotel which was changed up at the last minute & it was not regretful at all. Usually last minute changes aren’t welcomed by any traveller, but this was a brilliant change with a beautiful one at bar at the rooftop.
The second day started with our travel to the Masai Mara Reserve. The 3 drivers headed by Gideon (co-owner) of Morindat made our journey smooth & comforting. The 5-6 hours journey was made easy (I suffer from motion sickness) & I was alright.
The game drives were excellent & the drivers Sammy & Francis were fabulous. Francis was our LC’s driver & he was an encyclopaedia of animals & plants. He would dish out Botanical & Zoological names of Plants, Trees & animals we saw. I must admit I can’t remember even one.
Early morning sunrise & late evening sunsets in the grasslands is a sight to cherish for the rest of one’s lives. Francis even accorded our LC’s passengers as one of the best passengers he’s taken. We would like to think that we were good spotters too. We managed to out spot, our fellow travellers with lions and cheetahs.
After 4 nights in the Mara Reserve we headed to Lake Naivasha. One night there & back to Nairobi Airport. Our week long trip was over before we even realised.
I don’t think anyone else is equipped to handle the difficult needs of all travellers.
3 cheers to the Morindat Team…
Asante Sana

One of the best Your Operators!
Our experience with Morindat has been exemplary from start to finish.
Morindat has been set up recently by two experienced guides, Gideon & Titus. We first connected with them early 2020 planning a trip in July of that year. But we had to postpone our trip to 2022 due to the pandemic (first we booked for 2020 and then we had to push to 2021 and, finally 2022!).
So we had been conversing with both of them for well over two years. They navigated our postponements and reservation changes smoothly with patience! Very professional, quick to respond to any mode of communication, whether email or whatsapp or calls!
And finally, our trip happened in Aug 2022! We were a group of 15 from Chennai, India and we took three jeeps on a seven day vacation. One of us was on a wheelchair with a fracture on her leg that happened just 3.5 weeks prior to our trip.
It was a wonderful, exciting and once-in-a-lifetime trip. Our three guides were Gideon himself along with Francis & Sammy. They were excellent! Warm, friendly, flexible, attentive and oh, so good at leading us to the right spotting of wild animals! We couldn't see the famed crossing or crocs, but we saw almost everything else including the very rare sights of mating lions and a cheetah trying to climb a tree! Brilliant! I was in Francis'Jeep and I can tell you he is one of the best! If I go again, I will go with him! He has a little resemblance to the Dembe character in the James Spader TV series, Blacklist!

Safari specialists
This is the second time with Morindat travels,( been on safaris with many others) .
These guys at Morindat never fails to impress me with their deep understanding of the game and the topography of game .
A special word about the safari guide Gideon who is a Masai. It is a treat travelling with him . We learnt a lot from huge wealth of knowledge and there was never a dull moment even with this second safari with him.
Morindat was always ready to give the best advice with recommending the safari dates, best camps to suit our budget and in providing the best safari guides to our other group's safari vehicles ( we were a group of 14 in 3 vehicles)
