Land full of surprises and miracles
I definitely would say this has been a lifetime experience, this is a continent full of wonders and adventures. Everything in this trip is well organized and been taken good care of by our agent Lewis, who welcomed us on the very first day. Also our guide Leonard is an amazing man who is very experienced and romantic, he tried his best to find the best angle to get a photo shot and never tired of showing us the best part of this country. The people on this land welcomed us with all their hearts, their passion and kindness, made us feel like they're not just hosting us, but leading us home. This is the first time for me to visit here and definitely will be back again.

Unscripted Safaris took us on a walking safari through the Mara North Conservancy, far from the typical tourist trails. This intimate experience, accompanied by an expert guide and a Maasai tracker, made us feel like explorers. We encountered giraffes and zebras at a distance, and the guide pointed out smaller things we would’ve missed in a vehicle, like fascinating insects and tracks left by a leopard the night before.

Trip of a lifetime
It is amazing how everything pulls together when you are on the other side of the world! We were quite tentative when we started looking for a Safari- there are so many out there. We requested information from multiple companies and Unscripted Safaris to be the fastest to respond and answered all our questions. We had so many questions/fears, but they were all answered. Our guide, Jeremy, was excellent with a profound knowledge of ALL the animals and birds of the area. We never could figure out how he knew where we were on the Mass! We loved the lodges that we stayed in and the food was awesome. We wholeheartedly recommend Unscripted Safaris for our next, or yours, next Safari!

Highly recommend our guide Peta but not this agency Unscripted Safaris
We don't appreciate the dishonesty or carelessness that Lewis (our contact guy of Unscripted Safari) has shown during the whole thing.
1. We first reached different agencies under the same term that we (a group of 8 people) will use 2 Landcruisers. But when we arrived, there was only one. Lewis said it could fit us all, or we can pay $300 per day (it is a 8-day safari) extra for another vehicle. It is ridiculous.
2. We stayed in Massai Mara for 3 nights. When discussing the change of the accommodation, we double checked with Lewis that extra payment was $50 in total, not per night. Until a week before our arrival to Kenya, he said he had misspoken, it should be $150 added in total. The new camp is great but the communication should be less careless.
3.The biggest problem is with the Crescent Island. The boat took us to a fake island while charged us each $60. As we pointed out, the boat guy didn’t take us to the real Crescent Island right away, instead he waited for the call from our agency. We believe it is a common trick played in tourism here. Be alert.
In all, we had an unforgettable experience in Kenya, especially our guide Peta is great, very experienced and helpful. But the business here need more transparency and regulation.

amazing
For my solo trip, Unscripted Safaris suggested Lake Baringo in Kenya, a hidden paradise for bird lovers. Surrounded by dramatic cliffs and flocks of flamingos, my guide took me to remote islands where I was the only visitor. This serene solo experience gave me a new perspective on Kenya’s rich ecosystems beyond the typical safari.

I loved the little surprises, like an impromptu Maasai dance at our campfire. Unscripted Safaris takes the time to add those touches that make you feel like you’re not just a visitor but a part of the culture and landscape. It was so genuine.

If you want an ethical, immersive experience, Unscripted Safaris is the one to choose. I loved how they prioritize sustainable travel, from eco-friendly lodges to community-based projects. They’re preserving East Africa, not exploiting it.

From wild giraffe selfies to jumping in on a Maasai dance circle, Unscripted Safaris had me doing things I never dreamed of. I came for lions and ended up dancing under the stars with new friends. It’s like an African adventure and a cultural festival rolled into one!

Thrill of thrills
I wanted an adventure and got one – wading through the hippo-filled waters of Lake Naivasha! We weren’t in danger, but the feeling of being so close was exhilarating. Unscripted Safaris is a thrill-seeker’s dream safari company. They go beyond the usual, always safely, but with a dash of adrenaline.

Again and again
We did a three-day safari to Maasai Mara and enjoyed every single moment. After arriving at our accommodation, which we absolutely loved, we had a delicious lunch and then headed out to see the animals. Our guide Joseph did an amazing job of ensuring we saw all the highlights. On our first drive, we already spotted two lion cubs with their big family. The next day, we were lucky enough to see all the big cats and absolutely loved it.
I would highly recommend this company and will definitely book with them again.
Thank you very much for this unforgettable experience!
