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!

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."

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!!”

Loved loved loved it!
We (couple of two from Ukraine) had a private 8-day Safari tour (4x4 Landcruiser) with Keron Safari And Hotels to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo East. Our guide John went above and beyond to provide us with a great experience throughout the whole trip. He is great at spotting animals and was very knowledgeable about the parks and the wildlife. He even smells “the cats” (like he calls them) and no track was too difficult for John to take, in order to make sure we have a great experience. John is very punctual and great company on the drive – we had a lot of fun with him. Moreover, we were in safe hands with John and felt secure inside and outside the park.
The organization from the Keron (Mr. Kenny) office was very good – they organized the whole trip (park entrance fees, lodges, pick up from the airport and drop off at the beach) for us and we had no problems during our safari at all. We want to thank John from the Keron team for the great organization – she was very helpful to accommodate our questions and requests during the booking process.
We experienced some amazing moments watching the wildlife in the parks and took unforgettable impressions of Kenya home with us. We would definitely recommend Keron SAfari and Hotels if you are planning a Safari in Kenya!

Magic amidst a pandemic
There are vacations, there are amazing vacations, and then there is an African safari! Exciting, beautiful, colorful, versatile - those are some of many adjectives to describe the experience and the mood. And Keron Safaris & Hotels (Ks&H) was responsible for the fairy-tale every step of the way. But let's start at the beginning.
1. Planning and booking.
Planning this trip was exhausting... for our sales manager Kenny :) The number of change requests from our side was enormous, but Kenny patiently stuck with us till the end and the resulting trip itinerary was all we could ever wish for! Thank you Kenny so much!
The actual booking was pretty straight forward: there are plenty of payment options and even the final documents have been adjusted according to our requirements.
2. Arrival.
Upon our arrival at the Nairobi airport we were picked up and transferred to our first hotel by a very nice guy Pascal, who was very friendly (in fact, it is remarkable, how friendly and lovely people of Kenya are) and helpful. Everything went fast and smooth.
3. Safari.
A.W.E.S.O.M.E. Our expectations were fulfilled by 200%! We've seen the Big Five, Cheetahs, Lions' hunt, White Rhinos, Flamingos, Wild Dogs (a spices on a bridge of extinction which, we were told, had not been seen for the last four years!), beautiful scenery, amazing skylight and so much more! It was magical!
4. Guide/Driver and organization.
Our guide's name is Pascal. He was our friend, our driver, our spotter. It is remarkable how skillful he is in spotting wildlife on great distance, how much exciting trivia he told us about what we've seen, how friendly, helpful and patient he was with us. We were difficult passengers, but Pascal was able to fulfill our every request and even more. Next time we're traveling through Africa, we will do it only with Pascal. Thank you so much my friend!
5. Kenya.
It's such a beautiful and versatile country! The political and economical situation there is far from ideal, but people stay optimistic, open, and friendly. Interesting fact: they seem to be coping with COVID far better than some European countries - we could learn a thing or two from them. The nature is beyond beautiful - it's breathtaking! And Kenyan government does a lot to keep it that way - the measures for protection of the national parks, reservations etc. are impressive! Same goes for the ban on plastic packaging.
6. Summary for KS&H:
- Organization - Kenny - excellent!
- Logistics and communication in Nairobi - Ibrahim - excellent!
- Safari and everything around it - Pascal - excellent! excellent! excellent!
Thank you so much guys! We could not have wished for more!
Love,
From Barbeau and Toussaint

Keron Safari cannot be beat!
First, I’d like to give a big “thank you” to Kenny for planning such a wonderful safari for myself and two friends. He was truly the best coordinator I’ve ever worked with. He was very thorough and provided very quick responses. We wanted to do something slightly different than one of the pre-arranged safaris, and Kenny put together a great itinerary based on where we were starting (Mombasa) and ending (Watamu). Originally it was just myself and one other friend going on the safari, but we had another friend decide to join after we started building out the itinerary and details. Kenny added her without issue.
Some of the main reasons we choose Keron Safaris and Hotel: excellent communication, ability to tailor the safari if there is something in particular you want to do (instead of a pre-set agenda), and several choices for lodging (you could do all budget or all luxury or mix and match like we did).
We went to Tsavo West, Amboseli, and Tsavo East. We saw so much!!! Hippos, lions, zebras, elephants, giraffes, etc. Juma was our guide, and I really don’t think there is a better guide out there. Juma has been doing this for over 10 years. He is extremely knowledgeable, very friendly, and one of the sweetest and kindest humans I’ve ever met.
I would like to go to Rwanda someday, and I’m happy that Keron has operations in South Africa (and other countries) because I will 100% use them again.

Beyond our expectations
The trip was everything we expected and more. As a photographer I wanted to experience the true nature of Kenya and Keron looked after everything to make our experience truly unique. Kenny booked all our hotels and organized the trips and accommodations, he also made great recommendations for us on the trip. Pascal our driver was awesome and he always got us to the animals fast so we got to spot lions, leopards and everything else almost daily. He knew the park roads well and accommodated our needs at all times. I would definitely recommend Keron for anyone considering a Safari with a trusted company. Also consider flying into some of the parks as the roads can be very long and are rough, a short flight from Maasai Mara back to Nairobi was well worth the extra costs.

Amazing experience in Tanzania: the trip of a lifetime
Safaris do not come better than the experience we had with Keron Safaris from Mombasa, Kenya. My plethora of requests such as style of accommodations, safety, equipment and sanity were all answered within a day and with concise information. I was never kept waiting for long. Still, pages and pages of emails cannot and will not prepare you for the majesty of Tanzania's northern parks and Keron Safaris does an amazing, detail oriented job at fulfilling this bucket list journey. I was met by a fully qualified guide on the night before my departure into the wild in Arusha and was briefed on what was going to happen the next few days. The professionally orchestrated safari of 4 days allowed me and my safari mate the opportunity to catch well over 30 species of animals in three parks. Keron Safaris makes it a point to avoid touristic routes within the larger parks as you really don't want to see a giant air-conditioned bus in the brush. Those are terrible and we as consumers should really send the message and remove them from the parks. We shared many quiet moments with lions just meters away with no other vehicles in sight.
I will certainly return to Tanzania to visit the parks we didn't have the opportunity to earlier this year, and we wouldn't hesitate to return to Keron Safaris for their top class service and execution!

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...
