Exciting and Adventurous Safari
5/5

I just arrived back home from my first Africa visit, although I was going for an official trip me and my colleague, decided to go on a short safari since we had time before we flew back. After searching online, we came across Native Afrika, they offered different safari options and since my friend had been there before me, he chose the 4 days a destination that he has not gone before (a good enough reason to go back and do the Maasai Mara next time).
We had amazing time, and our guide George made the whole safari exceptional by his wealthy knowledge of the wildlife.
I am looking forward to coming back soon.
Thank you, NAV team and George, for best tour.

Great Safari Agency
5/5

We went on safari to Africa last summer and we did 8 days with my family. Native Afrika proved not to be just any other safari company they went beyond and made sure that our stay was very comfortable. We arrived on early morning, and we were met at the airport and after the safari briefing, we immediately left for the Samburu Park, Eric was our safari guide, and he was very enthusiastic with his job, love and knowledge of the wildlife. The itinerary was very well crafted to make sure that we did not travel on road for many hours, the camps were well selected with good staff and amazing locations.
Eric made sure that we saw most of the wildlife and he would always advise us on the following day timings depending on the last night's sightings. On the last day we were treated to a sundowner on the plains of Maasai mara it was so beautiful watching the sun set on the savanna horizon.
The whole experience is something that I will always live to remember, and I can't wait to return back sometime.

Fantastic Safari with Native Afrika
5/5

I have always dreamt of going to Africa and finally I realized my dream last week when I did 6 days safari with NAV. The safari was more than I expected apart from small hiccup when our vehicle had a small break down but thanks to our driver guide Alex that he had mechanical know how he was able to fix it although we lost whole 2 hours before he could figure out the problem.
We were offered different options and we choose one that was ending at Diani Kenyan coast since we also wanted to have a taste of the African beach life. We choose safari van and for sure it was very comfortable unlike most of the agencies would like you to have 4x4 at a higher cost it very well maneuvered all the terrain with less difficult and ease.
Alex proved very well equipped with immerse knowledge of wildlife, very punctual and always had his van clean before next safari and he would always make us feel very much cared.
The price was quite fair especially when you compared to most of other agencies although was not the cheapest, I was impressed by the fact that they would respond to my questions almost immediately this made us have confidence that we will definitely be in safe hands may anything happen while on the tour.
We booked our beach hotel directly since we could find better deals that even what NAV was offering (booking.com) and we had amazing 4 night's stay at Swahili beach such a great place to finish your African tour.
I will always recommend them to anyone travelling to Kenya.

Exciting Safari Expedition
5/5

Although it was not my first safari to Africa with my always amazing guide David, there is always fascinating experience every time that makes me not to have enough of safari.
Last month I booked with Native Afrika and I traversed through different national parks this time with my friends that were visiting for the first time to Kenya. We had an amazing time, and like always we came back very satisfied.
David who is the co- owner of the company is very accommodative and knowledgeable host and guide, and we were lucky as well to have him as our guide now that he is not on safaris very often like before. We got see most of the wildlife including the rare hunting dogs in Samburu, black rhinos with a calve and unsuccessful lion hunt in Lake Nakuru and we finally winded up with Maasai Mara where of course we saw lots of elephants, buffalos, zebras and cat.
All the accommodations both in lodges and camps met our expectations just at the perfect locations for the safaris. David included in some of these properties free room upgrade that was a surprise for us and offered Champagne sundowner at middle of nowhere in the savannah we just only us on our last day on safari it was fabulous and exalting to just sit listen to the dead silence as the sin gets down the horizon.

I will always book my safari with Native Afrika and I won't as well hesitate to recommend them to my friends and anyone who is thinking safari to Africa/East Africa.
Asante David and NAV team as whole.

Thrilling and Exciting
5/5

Last month we visited Africa Kenya for first time with my friend who is an avid traveler and has been there many more times, so we did not have to worry about arrangements. We were picked at the airport upon arrival in the morning and we started our safari to northern Kenya Samburu. We had David as our guide, and he was just amazing the kind of an ever-smiling engaging and friendly guy. He had an amazing green jeep that was in good harmony and blended well with the environment that was very well kept with an electric fridge to have our drinks cold (Cold Tusker) especially in this part of our first destination it was really hot and dry it came in handy.
After 2 nights stay, we headed to Lake Nakuru where we stayed at an elevated lodge sitting on a hill with superb views of the lake beneath us. Sopa lodge, this park was the best in my trip, we saw lots of Rhinos both black and white at a close proximity, giraffe, leopard sitting on acacia branch and the flamingos though they were not as many as I expected but still a sight of them flying was such a great experience.
Our last destination was at Maasai Mara, and we stayed at a small camp very nice next to the Mara River, we heard roars of lions and hyena screams on our first night at the camp and following morning we found the residents lions kill not too far away from our camp with hundreds of hyenas surrounding the pride although at a distance.
We flew back to the city after a thrilling 7 days in the bush for lunch at the carnivore restaurant before we drove back to the airport for our flight back home.
This was the best tour that I have ever done, thank you David for such an amazing time you gave us.

I would 100% recommend, can't wait to come back again sometime in the near future.

Best decision
5/5

Before booking this trip we were not familiar with how the whole safari tour works and we were unsure. However, the team put all our worries and doubts to ease with their soothing and prompt communications. More importantly, during the game drives, our guide (Steven) followed the itinerary to the T and delivered everything. He was always there on time and his knowledge of the road, animals, and history is second to nothing. Go with Native team, worth every penny.

Well organised
5/5

We had a very good experience with Native Afrika Voyages arranging our Safari in December. David, our tour operator, was excellent with the communication, provided multiple itinerary to choose from, was very timely with his communication, answered all my questions prior to the tour and eased some of the concerns I had since it was my first safari. He really put my mind at ease and made sure we had the best experience. When we arrived, David and our assigned tour guide, George were present to meet us at the airport and everything went very smoothly. George was amazing, very knowledgeable and made every effort to make the tour fun and exciting. He had chats with my teenage child along the long drives and answered all our questions. George was always on time for our game drives and was always spot on with when it would rain, and working around this to make sure we get the most of it. The lodgings we chose were up to our expectations and it couldn’t have been arranged any better. The safari itself was an amazing experience, to anyone visiting the masai mara, do not miss out on the masai river, a must visit and visiting one of the masai villages. Lake Naivasha was magical And all in all a very successful and memorable experience.

Unique experience, driver George completely at your disposal
5/5

We booked with this travel agency without knowing anything about them.
But we were lucky, we spent very nice 5 days in the savana, an environment similar to the movie “the lion king”.
The driver was very friendly and always available and kind with us and with our little kid. I suggest this trip for every group, from couple to friends group. It is a way to discover the wild life of some animals that in Europe is difficult to see. 5 stars for a family like us.
