Best Safari in Kenya!
We started our Safari with an airport pick up where we were met by our driver and guide, Jeremy. He immediately made us feel welcome and comfortable despite having just had an overnight flight.
Our journey began at Amboseli National Park where we saw a ton of Elephants or "Ellies" as they are refered to here. It was incredible. We also saw a lion sleeping after feasting on a hippo, an incredibly rare siting.
What an amazing first day!
We had 2 days at Amboseli and day two was its own unique experience as well.
Day 3, 4, 5 were spent between Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru, where we saw hippos, rhinos and a Leapord devouring an antelope in a tree!
Day 6 and 7 were at Masai Mara where we capped off our game drives with a cheetah sighting and a group of young lions feasting on a buffalo. We could not have asked for a more incredible experience.
We stayed in Sopa lodges the entire time, arranged by Unscripted for our tour, and each one was special and unique. The meals were all buffet and similar at each resort with different options, I noticed a lot of vegan options as well. The rooms were nice, clean, and all had mosquito nets that were drawn by the staff when we went to dinner.
We upgraded our vehicle from a van to a land cruiser and I would highly recommend it. The roads can be very rough and you can see how much better the land cruiser handled it. Our driver/guide was great. He was extremely friendly, respectful, and kind. He let us do things at our pace which he seemed to enjoy as well and led to us seeing the young lions without another vehicle around despite it being the busiest park. When other vehicles were disregarding park rules or the wildlife our guide would not do so, which was very nice to see the respect for the area as well as the animals. He genuinely cares about the vehicle he is driving and the client as well. You can see it when comparing their vehicle to other tour companies, the windows were bigger and the vehicle in much better shape than some that we saw. He also had the vehicle washed and cleaned several times during the week instead of just allowing the dust to accumulate. 10/10.
We could not recommend them enough.

Small operator with excellent level of personal service.
We hade a 4-day safari with 3 nights at Ashnil camp. Everything was awesome (cannot believe that so many hours spent in a car felt so good). Jeremy is an experienced guide and excellent driver. We spent most time in the Western part of masaai Mara and it seemed less crowded than the eastern parts.

Overwhelming experience
From requesting a quote to commutation with lewis, service of the guide Alex and the experience in the parks was so amazing, so much above what I expected. The hotels chosen and land cruiser of choice was perfect and always clean, we definitely do recommend ten times and over

Incredible safari
We booked our safari with unscripted safaris through lewis who was always online to respond to my numerous questions and was flexible to accommodate our ever changing travel dates. Our guide Nelson was educative and familiar with all the parks we went to, he would help us bargain as well for items we shopped for. We basically saw almost all the animals I had imagined of seeing. We really appreciate and recommend this company

Extra ordinary care and service
We had timed hoping to see the July migration but I guess we came too early, hoping to see it better in the next few years. We really enjoyed our Kenyan 6 days safari with Jeremy who was very well educated and lewis was so fast in response to our emails and Whatsapp,we definitely recommend

Unforgettable lifetime memory
This has to be my best life experience so far in life, I used to see animals on tv but unscripted safaris made it a reality thanks to Alex who was our driver for the 7 days and Judy who was always kind and responsive to our numerous questions, we saw all the big 5 and upto now I still do not believe it, I think I already want to come again and I sure will

Best recommendation so far
My pals visited kenya last year using unscripted safaris and they recommended them to us and we do not regret it a single bit. We enjoyed a 12 days safari and i think we exhausted all parks so well that we'd do it again. Thanks to Jeremy specifically and the whole team, we will not forget you.
