Our tour operator was always ready to help, plan and communicate. They were dedicated.
We experienced Lakes, rivers, grasslands and every animal you always wanted to experience plus many that you didn’t expect to see. The camps were comfortable and safe and the food was Kenyan with splashes of international flavors. Our tour operators were always there. They were extremely reliable and provided outstanding value for the money and the experience. Friendly and personable we whole heartedly recommend them for a true Kenya experience.

Experience of a Lifetime!!
I had the most amazing experience with Extra Miles Unique Adventures! Their team is the epitome of professionalism and hospitality! It was truly the experience of a lifetime. And the Masaai Mara is one of the most incredible places on earth! The wildlife and nature are simply unparalleled and I couldn’t have picked a better team for the safari.
Edwin helped me customize an itinerary that was right for me and provided multiple options to choose from. His professionalism and attentiveness were a wonderful first impression. As I was departing for Nairobi, my flight had a delay. They were understanding and helped coordinate the new times. Edwin also met me at the airport and introduced me to Jimmy, my guide for the week. Jimmy took me to their headquarters on our way out of town. There, I met Melisa, their director, who checked in periodically to make sure I was having a wonderful trip.
Jimmy and I started the long drive to Masaai Mara. Jimmy was the most amazing guide! He raced through backroads to make sure we had a great spot to view the wildlife and waited patiently while I tried to get the perfect picture. Part of the experience was being with such an experiencced guide who was as excited to see the various wildlife as I was! Jimmy’s passionate for the Mara creates an incredible experience. He is very knowledgable as well and was happy to answer my many questions.
I also went on the horseback game-drive and had an exquisite brunch overlooking the Mara. There I met John, our guide for the horseback adventure. It was an easy ride even with no previous experience on a horse. Being on horseback was such a special opportunity. It felt like truly being part of the Mara. Sitting there overlooking the savannah while listening to Jimmy and John talk about the Mara and the various conservation efforts was such a memorable and peaceful experience.
On the last day, I chose to go to Hell Gate National Park. We took a bike ride throughout the park and saw even more wildlife up close. The guide there, I believe his name was Ben, was very knowledgeable as well. He taught me even more about the park and the Masaai people.
Upon returning to my hotel in Nairobi, Melisa visited to get my feedback on the trip. She was attentive and wanted to make sure I had a wonderful trip. I was staying in town a few days longer and they even checked in to see how the rest of my trip was going. As a solo female traveler, I really appreciated the extra special care to make sure I was safe, comfortable and enjoying myself! I will absolutely visit again and will reach out to Extra Miles Unique Adventures when I return!
Very good

Best experience ever
We would like to thank all your team and especially our guide Azizi for the best safari ever. It was our first experience and was really great. We did see cheetahs, elephants, buffalos, gazelles and many others. Azizi was very attentive to us and he is a very careful driver as well. So, we will recommend your company to all our friends who is going to visit Kenya.
Zhanna & Irina
P.S. It would better if you choose for overnight safari: you will get evening and morning game pride as well

Great!
I have never been a proponent of the whole ‘trip of a lifetime’ saying. I have always thought that every trip is amazing and there is more to come that could be better. Well, I think I am wrong after today. It was the most incredible experience I have ever had. Seeing these amazing animals in the wild is beyond anything I could have imagined. I saw 3 out of the Big Five! I am tired, sweaty, dirty and covered in red dust but it was so worth every second and every dollar!!!!
Aziz was so professional and knowledgeable it was a pleasure to spend this adventure with him. I didn’t want the day to end!

Very Special Vacation!
My wife and I arrived at the Nairobi airport at 4 am and there were meeted by three people from Unique Adventures. After a breakfast at the airport, we began our trip by going to Naivasha. Not knowing much about it, we were both amazed by the abundant wildlife. After a boat tour on the lake, inhabited by loads of hippopotami, we were led in a walking tour during which we could get very close to the impala, water buffalo, and giraffes. We went to our hotel in Naivasha and were not disappointed. The food especially was delicious. The next day, we travelled to Lake Nakuru, and again saw a lot of animals on our safaris. The hotel wasn't quite as nice as the one in Naivasha but the view was fantastic. Our main objective was to go to Masai Mara where we spent the next couple of nights. The hotel, although excellent, was on the far west side of the park. This meant that we had to drive three hours through the park to get to it. The next morning, we had to travel about two hours back before we saw many animals. However, once we began seeing animals, it was fantastic. We were not disappointed and saw everything we wanted.
After returning to Nairobi, Unique Adventures arranged for us to go to the Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage (always worth a visit) and the Nairobi National Park (with it surprising abundance of animal life). We were then dropped off at our hotel where we ended our trip.
Before closing, I must say that our guide, Charles, was exceptional. Very knowledgeable and always friendly. All in all, a great trip.

Excellently organised tour and very flexible
I did a tour to Tsavo East NP and Extra Miles were very flexible and able to find me a tour on the date I needed. I was on a tight schedule with time so this was very important to me.
My guide was Aziz and he was very knowledgable and friendly and went out of his way to find wildlife of which we saw a lot. It was an all round excellently organised tour.

Good value. Good experiences
Everything promised was delivered, exceeding my expectations. Only thing I would change is Ibis Styles hotel in Nairobi. Sopa Lodge at Lake is a delight, Sopa Lodge at game preserve a little less so but still very good. Excellent driver who went above and beyond for us. When you visit elephant orphanage, ask your driver for a drive through Nairobi National Park, which is even larger than Maasi Mara and your best chance to see Rhinos. Price to enter is already included in Elephant orphanage, so might as well take advantage. Overall, highly recommended.
