Great experience
5/5

This was a great experience - right from the start when I booked the trip until i got dropped off at my hotel again.

The responses via Email were quick. The driver picked me up at the airport and waited patiently even though immigration took very long. My guide was well connected with other drivers in the two parks (so I got to see quite a lot) and the lodges were great too.

I really liked it.

Wonderful and memorable coupled with first class customer service experience
5/5

It was my first time to visit Masai Mara Game park and a friend who had a wonderful experience with Leisure escapes Safaris referred us to them. I liked the way we were handled as a family right from enquiries, bookings and the actual trip where our tour guide, Duncan was able to blend so well even with the children. On the travelling day, we were picked from our place of residence. The guide didn't mind being asked un ending questions from the kids who were experiencing Masai Mara road trip for the first time as well. The guide really entertained us with very interesting stories on our way. We had a two nights three days adventurous moments and game drives. The guide, Duncan made sure we didn't miss any opportunity to see the big five wild animals. At the hotel, everything was well and perfectly organised courtesy of Leisure Escapes Safaris. At the end of trip, we were dropped right at the door step of our residence. What a trip! A lasting experience it was.

Great Safari with Leisure Escapes: A Journey of Wildlife, Warmth, and Eye-Opening Moments in Kenya
5/5

We had an amazing 7-day safari in Kenya with Leisure Escapes. The service provided by the company, especially Esther, was exceptional. She answered all our pre-trip questions promptly and kindly. Our guide, Jeff, made us feel safe throughout the trip, and he and Esther even joined us at the farewell dinner, going above and beyond her working hours.

The highlights of the trip included the stunning Amboseli sunset game drive surrounded by hundreds of animals, close encounters with giraffes and zebras near Lake Naivasha, and witnessing lions in the Masai Mara. The special tent accommodation in Masai Mara added to the unique experience, and many more!

For future travelers considering this tour, I have a few suggestions:

1.Consider removing Lake Nakuru from the itinerary as it feels similar to Lake Naivasha (or the opposite). Replace it with a night of cultural or city experience to enhance the tour’s cultural aspect.
2.Visit the village near Amboseli to witness the local poverty firsthand, as it’s an eye-opening experience.
3.Request more a la carte local meals from Esther whenever possible, as the majority of meals are international buffets. It’s rarely possible though as there aren’t many options in national parks. While the food was good in hotels, experiencing more local cuisine would be appreciated.
4.Don’t hesitate to ask your guide and hotel staff questions to learn more about the culture, as the safari focuses on animals by its nature.

Overall, it was an incredible tour, and I highly recommend Leisure Escapes for your safari adventure.

Excellent high-quality services from A to Z
5/5

We experienced an unforgettable, impressive 5-day safari tour in September that could not have been better. We were more than satisfied with the top services from Leisure Escape Safaris from A to Z. In particular, Esther and Duncan impressed us with their professionalism, their extremely friendly manner, their pronounced customer centricity, their high degree of flexibility and their friendly, trusting manner. With Esther, we put together a great itinerary tailored to our wishes. Esther responded to our requests and queries very quickly and competently. Duncan was the best driver and tour guide we could have wished for. He was very professional and reliable and fulfilled all our individual wishes. His knowledge of the wildlife and the places we were able to see thanks to him was exceptional. Esther and Duncan, thank you very much for making this unforgettable safari tour possible for us. Leisure Escape Safaris is highly recommended and exemplary in every respect. We would love to do it again with this company!

5/5

I had the privilege of going on a safari organized by Leisure Escapes Safaris, and I can't express how thrilled I am with their service! From start to finish, they exceeded all my expectations.

The attention to detail was remarkable. Our guide was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystems, but their passion for conservation shone through, making every moment educational and inspiring.

The accommodations were top-notch, blending seamlessly with the natural surroundings, and the food was delicious and varied. I appreciated the thoughtfulness in catering to different dietary preferences.

What truly stood out was the operator's commitment to responsible tourism. They emphasized the importance of preserving these incredible environments and respecting the wildlife, which left a lasting impact on our group.

Overall, my safari experience with Leisure Escapes Safaris was nothing short of magical. They created unforgettable memories, and I can't wait to embark on another adventure with them in the future. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an authentic and conscientious safari experience!

5/5

We've been with James for at least 4 days and there is nothing negative I can say about him. Well planned tours in the parks, knew most of the animals and spotted them before everyone else did. Very friendly and understanding. Leisure Escape Safari as it is a very good company. They even provided gifts for safari. I think it's just the best company around to go for a safari with. :)

Fantastic tour, experienced guide, considerable planning, unforgettable memory
5/5

Leisure escapes safaris actually was my very first agent to reach out on safari booking.com. Esther is very helpful, considerate, and with a big warm heart, assisting us shaping the itinerary, given we were starting from 2ppl to 7 ppl, along with a perfect arrangement. Jeff is over-16-year experienced guider, guide us to seek the wild animals all the way, to make sure we could see as many creatures as possible.

Surprisingly, this trip is so kid friendly. My 3-year old son enjoyed so much. In particular, Esther and Jeff also prepared a safety seat on the Land Cruiser. Thanks to them, our trip is once a life time memory. Strong recommend, and I sincerely hope we could meet again!
