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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Best Tour to Kenya
5/5

I was in Kenya for few days on business trip, and I decided to do a short safari. I contacted Native Afrika and they were very fast in responding to my questions and they offered few suggestions of my proposed 4 days safari. I finally settled on Amboseli and Tsavo West because I wanted to see the peak of Mount Kilimanjaro. We stayed at Sentrim Camp and for both days the view of the mountain was totally covered although on safari was really nice getting very close the elephants and listening to them feeding with their young calves was an amazing experience. Applaud to our best safari guide George who was very informative from start to the end. It was at the same a little sad that there is very little of vegetation that is left at Amboseli because of the drought.
On our last morning before we went for breakfast one of the Maasai guards called us from our tent to see the peak since the night before when he escorted us to our tent, we had told him that we had missed our main reason to travel to Amboseli, the Kili view. It was amazing to watch the snowcapped peak in the back with the singing sounds of the birds. This really made my whole trip whole.
our next destination was at night at Tsavo and we stayed at Kilaguni Lodge and they have a water hole that is just next to the lodge that wildlife will come in turns to drink.
The entire staff at the lodge were very friendly and they even allowed us to have a late check out since our flight was late at night.
I am looking forward to coming back to a longer safari.
I won't hesitate to recommend them while travelling to Kenya.

Best Africa safari with Native Afrika
5/5

We just came back from 6 days safari from Kenya with my wife that was an experience that we will cherish. This was our second visit on safari to Kenya and i must say that it surpassed our previous one. We had Alex who we requested not because we knew him but after going through the reviews, Charity the agency consultant did not hesitate to allocate him after our request.
After going through the safari options that they offered we decided on this safari to shorten on the distances and long hours on the road. Lake Nakuru to see the flamingos although they were very few at the lake at this time of the year, but we saw lots of rhinos in this park that was also reason of opting for a night at this park, we continued for the second day at lake Naivasha that was just 2 hours with excursions in the lake and walk with the animal's sanctuary. we finally went to Masai Mara and the safari as expected was nothing short of a memorable adventure. Alex safari long experience made us see all of the big 5 and giraffe calving and almost a lion kill.
We were surprised at Mara serena with a birthday cake for my wife that was arranged without our knowledge by Charity (Thank you for)
The hotels that we stayed at were very good worth every coin, with good food, amazing locations and best customer service.

Thank you, NAV, for making our Africa safari an adventure that we will cherish.
Looking forward for another safari.
I would highly recommend them.

Best Tour to Africa
5/5

We searched online with my friends for a reasonable budget safari to Africa and we found Native Afrika among other agencies. I liked the fact that they were very accommodative with our price in comparison to other agencies that wanted us to stay at expensive lodges. David the safari Consultant was very accommodative with our budget, and he was able to tailor make our tour and still making an amazing tour.
When we arrived at the airport we were met, and we were offered a transfer to the city hotel for the night. The following day we started our tour with James who as our best gift of the safari.
James was amazing and he did his best to show us his beautiful country and wildlife, he was always very courteous and explained all of the locations slowly to everyone especially to my friends since most could not understand English well. We visited Samburu Park, lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara.
Our best park was Maasai Mara, although I must say that also all of the other parks each offered different scenery and wildlife.
I will not hesitate to recommend Native Afrika to anyone to Safari in Africa.

Best Tour Ever
5/5

We visited Kenia with my mum although with her it was not the first for her like me. We contacted Native Afrika Voyages through Charity with requests of tailor making our 5 days safari. She was very fast in responding to our questions and she offered us different options on our proposed 5 days safari. We did Ol Pejeta, Lake Naivasa and Masai mara which proved to be exactly what i was dreaming about Africa.
We were met at the airport very late (they offered to pick us up), and we had a night at a standard hotel in Nairobi for just some few hours before we started our safari the following day.
We started our safari with an excellent and amazing guide Alex who was very educative about culture and wildlife, his knowledge and passion for the animals was just incredible, we did get to learn a lot from him. On our last day from Maasai Mara we saw the last missing out of the big 5 the rhino.
We stayed at Sweetwaters, Sawela lodge and serena mara, this selection of lodges was amazing with very friendly, good food, perfect locations for the animals and amazing views.
I am looking forward to bringing my friends on safari in the near future.
Thank you, Charity, Alex and the Native Afrika Voyages Team for the amazing and forever memorable tour with my mum.
I would highly recommend 100% .
