They were very professional and detail-oriented.
Our guide, Fred, was friendly, punctual, and knowledgeable. Booking the tour was straightforward and Timothee responded quickly to communications and was very flexible with our multitude of changes.

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.

They truly went the extra miles!!
It has been a pleasure working with professional and courteous staff. We had a great adventure seeing the games fit to Jane's our guide. He really went beyond to make sure we enjoy and explore the National parks we visited. Highly recommend the company and James. Sopa lodges that we stayed in were clean and lots of food choices. Our Lake Naivasha accommodations was far from the mail road and was so so.

Fantastic Service
We had a great time on safari. The booking process was seamless - Ann was so helpful and made our journey as simple as possible. She also arranged our onward train tickets which didn’t form part of the safari package so cannot fault the service. The safari itself was amazing, our driver Willy was so informative and went above and beyond to make sure we had the best time ever. We loved it!

An amazing Couple Safari - thank you Ann, Wilfred and the whole Extra Miles Unique Adventures Team!!
When I first thought about taking my girlfriend to Kenya to experience an African Safari together, I didn’t know where to start. Fortunately, Google was there to help, so I found out about safaribookings.com where there host a huge number of companies offering Safari trips of a variety of itineraries, features, lengths and budget. To narrow down my search I used 3 main criteria: customer reviews, itinerary and cost. Based on these criteria, I shortlisted a handful of companies and then contacted 3 of them that seemed most appealing to me. Only one of them (Extra Miles Unique Adventures) offered a “Couple Safari” that I knew of, which intrigued me, but I wanted to remain unbiased. All three companies responded quite quickly with the information requested and price quotes. However, I was impressed by the professionalism, the attention to detail and the clarity and promptness of the communication from Extra Miles. So, I decided to settle down on them, and I am so glad that I did!
Ann, a Tour Consultant with Extra Miles, was my main point of contact. I cannot thank her enough for all the help she provided over a period of over 2.5 months! Ann was always very prompt, clear and courteous in her communications – whether via email or via WhatsApp (which is what we mostly used starting shortly before the tour and throughout the duration of the tour). She was very helpful in customizing the tour for us – from modifying the itinerary to adding lodging/hotel/airport transfer in Nairobi before and after the Safari, while being mindful of my budget and other considerations. Since the tour was advertised as a “Couple Safari”, I wanted to know what it actually meant. She told me that there was going to be some decoration/romantic arrangements in the lodge that we will stay at Maasai Mara at the beginning of the trip, and I was satisfied with that. However, to my surprise (and to my girlfriend’s surprise, of course), it was much more than that! We were very happy with all the fun and romantic ideas Ann and the team incorporated into our experience, which made our very first African Safari as pleasant and memorable as we could have ever imagined! I’m not going to get into the detail of the various things they arranged for us just to avoid spoiling the surprise of the future Safari participants
