Professional service with friendly and knowledgeable trips
We did the private Range Rover tour and stayed at Serena Lodge Amboseli. First, David was very helpful and communicative when we reached out for options and pricing. Prices were fair, and having now completed our safari was a great value for the money!
David met up the day of our safari and explained what we'd be doing, local customs on tipping, and introduced us to our guide, Cyrus. We got on the road - it is a long drive from Nairobi (5 hours), but it was pleasant and we stopped a little over halfway there. Cyrus was an excellent guide! We saw everything we wanted to see and then some. The accommodations were nice and the food was good. Staying INSIDE the park was the way to do it!
I highly recommend this tour. It was a short amount of time, but we got a lot out of it. Amboseli is beautiful and the elephants are EVERYWHERE! We saw so much other wildlife too - lion, cheetah, giraffe, water buffalo, flamingos, gazelle, zebra, hyena, secretary bird, hippos, baboons, and more.
The only thing I would do differently is skip the Maasai Village. They asked us for $70 USD when we arrived and then were upselling the whole time. The chief asked for more money once we were in the village. Then they showed us some medicine and asked if we wanted some. Then took us to a "market" of hand made items - nothing has prices, they want you to pick stuff and then "negotiate price" later. And later they wanted us to pay ALOT of money for the things we picked and the medicine. We said we didn't want any of it and they kept insisting we negotiate a price with them. We were exhausted by that time and really just wanted to leave - didn't feel authentic; felt like tourist trap. The Maasai at the resort give you a better feel for the Maasai culture and are super friendly. Plus, they do the traditional Maasai dance each night. As for local made souvenirs, we were able to get great local souvenirs at Village Market in Nairobi on our last night before our flight home.

We clicked immediately like old good friends and for the whole time we felt taken care by David.
First of all, this wasn’t our first safari nor first visit in Kenya. We already had some pretty high expectations in mid range budget for 7 days safari, then at the last moment we added additional day in Nairobi. We wanted to maximize our time as much as possible and see all our favorite national parks and private conservations. David has created Safari proposal that met our requests, expectations and needs. What’s more - he was such an amazing person that he keep contacting us two/three times per day, just to make sure everything is going according to our plan and we are satisfied- even after safari, while relaxing in Diani beach - he organized for us a driver, all domestic flights and pick up to the airport. Even in the airport and during our travel back home - he was checking on us are we fine and was worry about our way back home since the heavy winter had already started in Poland. We didn’t just gain an exceptional Safari tour operator in David’s persona and his company, I believe we have earned a real friend that we always can count on - and because of that, we will continue to keep coming back to Kenya and other countries of Central Africa, knowing that we always have a friend who we can rely on. Thank you David and see you soon!

An amazing way to experience the Masai Mara!
Our first interactions started with David. He was just great at given us all the information needed and explaining the different options we had so we could make the best of our safari. He made sure all the logistical details were in place and also set airport transfers and a very spontaneous Nairobi city tour! We appreciate his honesty and the fact that he really tailored the safari to our needs and budget.
Chris was our safari guide and he was just amazing!! He definitely went above and beyond to make sure we could spot as many animals as possible (and we saw so many!!) He took extra good care of us and made sure that the trip was an unforgettable (and educational) experience!

Informative and friendly who showed great care
We found our experience to be beyond our expectations. Our trip was tailored suitablely to what we required and more. The tented experience was great as we could hear animals at night and we had our own hippo who lived down an embankment from our camp. Our accomadation was very, clean, well appointed and the food was delicious and tasty. Those caring for us were very attentive. Thanks for a life time experience. Very memorable.
Efficient
Great seeing all the animals and balloon ride was amazing

What an unforgettable experience!
We did the six day Kenya Highlights safari trip starting with Samburu, Lake Nakuru and to finish the Masai Mara.
Everything was really great, but what truly made our trip amazing was Peter, our guide ! We were so lucky to have him! He was so knowledgeable about the animals and the savanna! He thought us a lot about the plants and the history of Kenya. He was able to answer all of our questions and it was truly interesting to hear all about this magical place.
We saw so many animals and had a great time.
The organization with David beforehand was really easy and smooth, he was able to answer all our questions and assist us throughout the whole planning process.
Really an incredible experience that will last a lifetime !

Nairobi Tour
Native Afrika Voyages was wonderful to work with! They were able to adjust their tour schedule to accommodate my request with relatively short notice. They communicated quickly and clearly, answering all my questions before I signed up. I did an early morning Nairobi National Park tour and we saw seven lions, tons of rhinos (and baby rhinos), giraffes, zebras, jackals, hyenas, and impala. The tour guide was great and shared fun facts about the different animals. Then we went to the elephant orphanage where I was able to see the baby elephants at feeding time. Native Afrika Voyages showed up on time and they were very professional. Their website description was accurate and they exceeded expectations. I would absolutely work with them again.

Best African safari experience
We enjoyed watching almost all animals in wild. Amboseli was better than Masai Mara for us as we were able to watch many animals in quick succession.
Our guide Cyrus was very kind, he made us reach all destination on time.
The Lake Nakuru Lodge was the best place to stay.

Incredible Experience
We had an absolutely incredible time on this Safari trip planned by David at Native Afrika Voyages. From the very beginning David was brilliant with taking our ideas of what we wanted for the trip and pulled together the perfect itinerary. From the second we landed in Nairobi, everything ran very smoothly.
The trip itself was truly magical. Our guide Cyrus was absolutely brilliant - so knowledgeable about Maasai Mara Park and all the wildlife. He made it his mission for us to get to see all of the big 5, and we did ! which was spectacular. He’s a true gem!
The camps we stayed at were just lovely. At Maasai Mara, we stayed at Zebra Plains which had a chilled atmosphere and you could spot giraffes and zebras walking by while on your deck. Such a cool experience.
They also organized a sunrise Hot Air balloon ride one of the days, which went over the park and you could spot the animals from the ballon. Would highly recommend this.
Overall it was a really incredible experience. Huge thank you to the team for organizing a trip of a lifetime!
