They really go extra miles to make your adventure unique
This was an amazing experience for my wife and I thanks to Extra Miles staff like Timothy, Melissa and last but not least Graham. Timothy not only provided all relevant information starting from where and how to apply for the e-visa for Kenya, where to stay in Nairobi and what to carry in the safari but also checked personally how we were doing once we arrived at Nairobi at midnight. He was always prompt in responding to my all queries no matter what time of the day and night it was. Very caring at a personal level and professional.
Melissa provided all the behind the scene support to help us having an amazing experience.
The best that happened in our safari that we got Graham as our guide. This young man with an easy smile was the gem of the tour. He was there early in the morning at 7AM and relentlessly pursuing the best possible locations to show us the animals and birds. His knowledge of these creatures and their habitats were amazing. Do not underestimate this man with slight built , he got a very open and friendly heart always reaching out to help others.
I am giving 5 stars to Extra Miles Unique Adventures because that is the max is allowed here. I would give more if it was allowed.
The only part that could have been better was the food at the Jambo Mara Lodge. The lodge was beautiful, clean , safe and with very helpful staffs but the food wasn’t up to the mark. It was the lodge management who needed to make sure that the food at the restaurant was good.
Our overall experience was very good and unique. I am looking forward to doing it again with Extra Miles Unique Adventures.

They went the extra mile for us providing us with a experience we will remember always.
The safari tour included pickup from airport, transport between rhe locations in Kenya and a skilled driver / guide. The customer service answered quickly and it was really easy to book the safari.
We saw many animals and met the friendly Masai people. The guide went the extra mile for us to get good pictures of the animals
The accomodation was also superb. Would reccomend to anyone :)

Friendly, fantastic attention to detail and made an unforgettable experience for our group.
We had an unforgettable experience on our Safari with Extra Miles Unique Adventures. From the initial contact the team were incredibly accommodating and friendly making sure our trip met our wishes and all details were thought of. They really surpassed what we could have imagined, with fantastic accommodation and experiences. Our driver James was so friendly and kind, and had vast knowledge to share throughout the parks we visited.
I would have no hesitation recommending Extra Miles Unique Adventures to anyone and could guarantee a fantastic trip with this company.

They are thorough, thoughtful, organized, and friendly.
The tour company was excellent. Every detail was thought of, yet it didn’t feel overly planned or rigid. The best part was our driver, Fred, who knew the area like the back of his hand.

Freddy - fantastic, knowledgeable, flexible, friendly, professional, respectful, amazingly engaging
From the moment I contacted Timothy and the Extra Miles Team to plan and prep our safari, this Team ( and I say team because it was a full team of 6 that personally met with us to introduce themselves in person on the first morning upon arriving to Kenya) was nothing but outstanding and exceeded everyone of my expectations. From the coordination and flexibility of arranging and custom detailing the entire itinerary to our liking until we were completely satisfied with everything we wanted to include, at the level of quality we were looking for, for the right price that we had budgeted, all the way up to reliably delivering on making this the most memorable and magical experience for us. We saw all the big 5 and then some all across our trip from Nairobi to Lake Nakuru , Naivasha, and all the way to Amboseli and Mt. Kilimanjaro, Fred took us on an outstanding safari trip everyday of the tour. We saw so many animals, wildlife, fauna, and beautiful scenery all across Kenya. The recommendations and support that the team provided to guide us with our choices of lodges and camps was top notch. Word to the wise, take Timothy and the team's advise on recommended places to book as you create your itinerary, they know the best places and are great value for the money!!! I have made friends for life with Melissa, Timothy, Fred and all of the team at Extra Miles and can not say enough great things about this company! They get it and always exceed expectations so don't be afraid to ask them about anything at all. They are always willing to accommodate and work with you on everything for your Safarai! So much so, that I have personally volunteered to be their ambassador in the USA and would highly recommend them to anyone! They are surely one of the best if not THE BEST! They really go out of their way and like their slogan/ motto says....they go THE EXTRA MILES!!!! Thank you Team, for making our trip most memorable again and we will surely go back time and time again to hire EXTRA MILES!!!

An amazing adventure
We did a 3-day safari at the Masai Mara National Reserve, and it was a magical experience ✨
Extra Miles Unique Adventures team thoroughly planned and took care of every aspect of our trip.
Aside from minimal confusion at the beginning of the process when we received multiple quotes and needed help figuring out how different they were, the booking when smoothly, and the team was quick in responding to any inquiry.
On the day of our trip, the team picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi at the scheduled time, and we drove to the reserve with our driver/guide Fred. The camp where we stayed was lovely (great amenities and good food!). The game drives were entertaining, and, under Fred's guidance, we saw some unique scenes

Fantastic 5 Day / 4 Night Adventure!
We decided to go on a safari in Kenya in late November and inquired from the multitude of agencies online. Many wrote back, but Extra Miles was one of the only ones to give us a quote with an itinerary and pictures of the lodges that we would be staying at. We decided to pick the "Mid-Range" package. Ann was our point of contact and answered all our questions in a timely manner via email leading up to the safari in late December.
When we arrived in Nairobi, we stayed at a hotel the first night. James was our guide and he met us at 7 the following morning. Ann also greeted us to give us a briefing about our 5 day adventure. We received hats, blankets, and a couple of other gifts from the company before setting off to Masai Mara. The initial drive was long and bumpy towards the end, but the scenery was beautiful.
We ended up staying in Masai Mara for 2 nights, Lake Nakuru for 1 night, and Lake Naivasha for 1 night. All the lodges we stayed at were comfortable and the service was top notch. Each meal was provided buffet style with lots of different options to choose from. We enjoyed our stay at each of the lodges that we had stayed at.
James would greet us each day and take us on our game drives. He was very courteous and very helpful throughout the week. He was an expert driver at Masai Mara and we were able to see the "Big 5" and get loads of photos. At the end of the week, James dropped us off at our new hotel that we had booked.
All in all, it was a great experience and we definitely recommend Extra Miles for a safari!

Excellent professional service, highly recommended
Maurice is very knowledgeable about the animals and where to find them close up. He is also very calm and patient driver and guide. We were able to see everything we want and he is very accommodating to changes to suit our liking.

Entertaining, informative and timely!
I was with Mike and he was the best. I'd highly recommend you ask for him as your guide.
He really knows the area back and forth and ensures you achieve your goal of having a great safari.
He's very friendly and will work with you on your plan.
Be open and remember that he is the professional here. He will show you a great safari if you let him.
