Bucket List Adventure done
“My wife booked a trip to Kenya through Keron Safaris for the two of us plus my 26 yr old son. The trip could not have been better, we started off with a two night stay at the beach in Mombasa (Diani Sea Lodge) and had a great time winding down after two days of flying. Then we went to Tsavo East for a day and a half, amazing! From there we went to Amboseli for another day or so, also fantastic. Next was a half day at Nakuru, by this time we had seen so many animals, at Nakuru we added whit Rhinos to our list. We finished up at Masai Mara for our last day and a half.
So much fun and great camaraderie with our guide Venant, I would recommend Venant to be your guide too. He is extremely personable and accommodating, not to mention he is a great driver. You'll need a great driver, as the roads and drivers in Kenya are terrible! Many thanks to both Kenny and Venant for ensuring we all had an amazing safari!!”

Perfect and well organized
It is going to be very difficult for us to make comments here that are very different from all those above !!! Indeed, we were taken care of by Kenny, organizer of Keron Safaris and Hotels Tour Operator and his driver Gidion, during a stay of 14 nights in early March, in different parks and reserves. Kenny perfectly organizes safaris that allow you to approach, most often very closely, an impressive number of animals, volatile or terrestrial and flora with multiple aspects ... We had the chance to see different wild animals (lions, leopards, cheetahs) and a multitude of other animals, especially elephants, in several life situations. The road link between the parks has allowed us to know the habitat conditions and lifestyles of Kenyans, who are most often very precarious. However, the clothes are always shimmering, those who wear them, always coquettish. This journey was of great richness, thanks to Kenny, great "authorizer" of our care and accompaniment. Our driver, Gidion, has a driving experience that greatly facilitates the "chaotic" journey on the tracks. These two "accomplices" form a very friendly team, full of humor, providing a lot of information and information in different areas, related or not to animals. In addition, they are constantly on the lookout and signal, sometimes from far away, this or that animal that we had obviously not observed !! The accommodation conditions were, more often than not, quite up to our expectations; Kenny has always taken into account our observations, formulated throughout the course of our stay, inviting us not to hide anything from him of this or that inconvenience that we may have encountered. In short, a great moment of discovery, humor, exchanges in fluent English with Kenny, a language he has and practices perfectly. We can only encourage future travelers who dream of large spaces occupied by wild animals, to call on Kenny, who runs reservation office in this Company "Keron Safaris and Hotels" perfectly.

Amazing country!
Just returned from a 12-day safari (2nights Amboseli + 1night Tsavo East +1night Lake Nakuru +3night Masai Mara and 4 nights beach in Diani), accompanied throughout by Keron Safari Driver/Guide Pascal, we are just delighted, and full of stars in our eyes!
Kenny (Keron Safaris and Hotels) was able to listen to our expectations and offer us a tailor-made program: visit of the parks, nights in superb lodges, perfect meals, commented safari sessions in breathtaking landscapes with an incalculable number of animal species, and icing on the cake: a scuba dive in the Indian Ocean where we were amazed: rays, fish of all colors, dolphins and corals...
Pascal always accompanied us, picked us up on the first day at our guesthouse, brought back to the airport for the return to France on the last day, you can count on him! He knows the country very well, its customs and the wildlife and in addition he speaks French!
Don't hesitate any longer, Keron Safaris and Hotels is the guarantee of an unforgettable stay...

Incredible 8 days in Kenya!
An incredible experience! We had 8 days safari tour, visited Aberdares, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara. The tour was well organized and everything went smooth. We saw all big 5 and many other beautiful creatures, stunning landscapes not only out because of luck but also thanks to Martin effort and experience (our tour guide)!
Thanks a lot Martin for your positive energy, all the information you shared and taking very good care of us, very happy to have you during this experience and choosing Keron Safaris & Hotels (keyron Vacations)!
I can highly recommend staying in The Cliff Lodge! By far the best place I have stayed which is located in cliff near by Nakuru Lake with sunrise view, very professional staff, comfortable and well designed rooms, swimming pool (you will definitely enjoy right after game driving).
Secondly, I can recommend Ark Hotel where you can watch the animals right in front of the place and be very close to the wild life!
We stayed in 4 different lodges. Only thing I would change next time is decreasing this number.

Memorable experience!
Thank you Kenny for all your help and making our first trip to Kenya a truly memorable one. We were a group of 7 who travelled for my moms 60th birthday- a safari was her bucket list dream and Keron did not disappoint! The service received was absolutely top notch. Kenny was always readily available by WhatsApp before and during our trip and was very responsive - he was truly a pleasure to communicate with. Despite a few challenges with accommodation prior to our arrival Kenny was able to get us sorted and offered to provide us with a free upgrade which was appreciated. Our guides were friendly and professional- we managed to see the big 5! I highly recommend using Keron to anyone going to Kenya and will definitely be recommending your company to family and friends. We received great value! Thank you for making my moms bucket list item so great, we will remember our experience forever:)

Nairobi,Amboseli,Tsavo and Taita salt safari was our perfect trip with Keron Safaris.
"What a really wonderful trip! After waiting almost two years to travel internationally because of the pandemic, it was so fantastic to be away on safari again.
Aside from a few extra bits of paperwork to organize before flying, everything on the ground felt very 'normal'. The camps felt very safe and were mindful of Covid protocols (all staff were double vaccinated), without detracting from the experience. If anything, being outside in the fresh air all day is probably safer than being in a UK city anyway! It was also clear that all of the camps were so happy to be welcoming guests again.
A big thank you to Keron Safaris for all of their help organizing such a memorable trip."

Amazing safari, once in a lifetime holiday
This August, it was our first time in Kenya and we are happy we chose Kenny, who turned out to be essential for our trip. Everything was agreed in advance via email. Kenny always replied fast with good English and in comparison with other companies he seemed to be much more pro-active and just nice overall :-)
He organized a private safari tour for the two of us based on our requirements, 6 nights / 7 days in 3 parks - Masaai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli. It began with a pick up from an airport hotel in Nairobi and finished by a drop off at the Diani Beach (south of Mombasa).
We want to thank to our driver Mr. Jammlick who was very professional, punctual and experienced guide. I especially appreciate that he didn't take unnecessary risks. We have seen other drivers take bad routes and fail, damaging their car and having to fix it. Not this one. We felt absolutely safe with him.
Thanks to Jammlick we also saw the Big 5 in just 3 days :-), not just once, and much more: our expectations were met and exceeded! We saw so many animals and on our last game drive we were (Jammlick was, to be correct) the first to spot a lioness hunting!
Kenny called us several times during our safari to check if everything was going well (game drives, lodges etc.) and he really cared if we were enjoying our time in Kenya which was nice of him. Later for our last day in Kenya he also organized as per our request a one-day trip in Nairobi which originally wasn't part of the plan.
If you are choosing a company for your safari, I can truly recommend Keron. They all will do their best to make you happy. The trip will be private, tailor-made and Kenny is ready to adjust it to fit your budget.
The only thing to be careful about is making sure all documents, especially dates, names and numbers are right :-) In our case Kenny admitted that he has made an error mistaking our safari with a different group that was supposed to arrive a week later. Luckily, I noticed the wrong dates on accomodation vouchers few days before our arrival. Although it didn't affect us, it surely was a tough time for Kenny. Some of our lodges were overbooked so he upgraded us and after our safari, instead of traveling by train (Nairobi to Mombasa) we were offered to fly directly to Diani (Nairobi to Ukunda) for the same price :-)

Amazing Safaris
We went on a 4 day safari. Saw Tarangire NP, Serengethi NP and Ngorogoro NP, it was a great experience with a lot of adventure. The jeep was big and comfortable. Our guides name was Goodluck, a very nice man who could tell us a lot about the wild animals and the way They live. We were planning to see the big five and we Did!. We saw a lioness with her cubs, elephants from a few meters away when we had our lunch break (the food was good during the whole safari), a Leopard with her cub in a tree, a rhino at the crater and on our last night buffalo's were eating grass in front of our tents. Goodluck made sure we felt safe during the whole trip and stopped the car anytime we wanted to make pictures. We spotted a lot of animals, monkeys, lots of beautiful birds, giraffes, zebra's wildebeest and many many more. Every morning we woke up very early to start the game drive. But it was worth it. I never saw those beautiful sunsets in my life. Thank you So much, it was amazing!!!

Great 9-day safari in Kenya
All was very well organized by Keron Safaris and Hotels and we found it good value for money. The correspondence with the office is very smooth, prompt and clear and they lived up to their promises, Kenny the Key Man.
We liked the proposed combination of Tsavo - Amboseli - Nakuru - Mara. It's a nice variation of scenery. Mara was a highlight of course for the great variety of wildlife, but the more quiet parks in the east have their charm as well.
We opted for the most basic accommodation offers and we found them all very neat. Especially in Voi Safari lodge in Tsavo is located beautifully and quite luxurious. The Nakuru Sopa lodge in Nakuru and Mara Simba lodge were more basic, but we found them fine and all had very friendly staff.
Our driver/guide, John, was excellent, a pleasant travel companion, a great driver and very knowledgeable on the safaris and everything else Kenya. He really tried to make the most out of all game drives.
In short, we would definitely recommend Keron Safaris and Hotels to anyone wanting to do a similar journey.

5 Day Aberdare, Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara private safari on honeymoon
We had an incredible experience with Keron Safaris and hotels!
Starting with the booking process with Kenny. He made sure that all our requests were worked out, he reacted very quickly and was a great help in organizing everything.
As for the safari itself everything went as planned, a private tour in an spacious and comfortable Jeep 4x4 equipped with fresh water and binoculars (this was great!). We visited Masai Mara,Lake Nakuru and Aberdare which are both beautiful and different parks!
We had a fantastic guides Gideon. He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. We learned a lot of him and he did everything so that we were able to spot the big five...
All the lodges (luxury camps)were excellent and had fantastic locations. The people were all very friendly.
The Covid-situation in Kenya is not scary at all. The lodges are "not really overbooked " and every destination we stayed had a hygiene concept. We always felt safe.
I would 100% recommend this experience and Keron safaris to everyone! Looking forward to repeat, thank you Kenny & Gideon!
