Offers Unforgettable Safari Experience!
We recently had the pleasure of visiting Kenya for an unforgettable safari adventure, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Our safari driver, James, truly made our trip exceptional.
James was not only incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and their habitats, but also possessed a genuine passion for sharing his expertise. He took the time to educate us about the different animal species we encountered, providing fascinating insights into their behaviors and characteristics.
What impressed us the most was James' ability to spot even the most elusive animals. His keen eyes and extensive experience allowed us to witness breathtaking moments, such as a group of elephants playfully bathing in the river. We felt incredibly fortunate to have witnessed these incredible sights up close.
Our trip to Kenya was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and it wouldn't have been the same without Duncan and his team. We highly recommend Leisure Escape Safaris for anyone looking to explore the wonders of Kenya. Thank you for making our trip so memorable!

Absolutely perfect.. Totalmente perfecto..
Everything was extremely well organised, hotels, car, and in particular, our driver, Jeff, was amazing and made our trip even nicer, getting all the best animal views.. I strongly recommend Leisure Escapes, which it was also the best value for money options (after checking many others).
Todo estuvo fantástico. Jeff además hablaba español muy bien e hizo el viaje todavía más fácil. Puntual, organizado, y conseguimos ver muchísimos animales gracias a su pericia e insistencia.. Por supuesto para repetir y os lo recomiendo absolutamente
A wonderful time
Very good organization. The guide, James, was very nice, with great knowledge and love for nature. He talked very interestingly about animals and plants. Whenever needed, he was happy to help. Thank you very much and I hope we will meet again.
I recommend it with all my heart ❤️

A fantastic trip with a great guide and wonderful service!
This was my first trip to Africa so I had no experience with finding a safari. Leisure Escapes was recommended by a colleague and I was pleased from the first contact. They offered excellent options at a reasonable price. My questions were always answered almost immediately. The guide I had (Tonny) was extremely knowledgable so the trip absolutely exceeded my expectations. I plan to use Leisure Escapes for any/all future safaris!

Excellent communication, service and safari!
From our initial communication to airport pickup, game drives, and accommodations, Leisure Escapes Safaris exceeded expectations in every aspect. Esther, who managed all our requests, was exceptionally friendly and accommodating. Duncan, our driver and guide, was outstanding, with an eagle eye for spotting wildlife regardless of the distance. He was patient and ensured we had a fantastic safari experience. As a Kenyan-owned and operated company, I highly recommend LES to anyone planning a Kenyan safari.

Exceeded all my expectations, couldn't be happier with my choice.
Opting for leisure escape safaris was the best choice I could've made. Extremely reliable, professional, very attentive to every detail, and also very flexible. It clearly shows their goal is to provide the best possible experience, and they absolutely did it. Esther made our booking process so easy, always available to clarify any doubts, extremely prompt to respond to all emails, and always very kind. John, who took care of the transfers to/from the airport, was great. Punctual, professional, and very helpful and kind, he provided us with a lot of useful information about Nairobi.
Duncan, our tour guide, was absolutely brilliant. He's a very good driver, extremely professional all around. He's obviously very experienced, and has a great eye to spot even the most well hidden animals from far away. He also has great instincts, knows exactly were to go, when to be patient and when to move on. His knowledge about the different existing animals is mind blowing. It's clear he enjoys what he does, and his enjoyment is infectious. On top of it all, he's also a great person, always a pleasure to be around. Honestly, for us it could not have gone any better, every aspect of the trip was absolutely perfect, and I will definitely be using Leisure Escape Safaris again in the future. Our gratitude to all the team!

Highly Recommend - Go with Leisure Escapes!
Our experience with Leisure Escapes Safari was nothing short of exceptional. From the moment we began organizing our trip, Esther made the entire process stress-free and enjoyable. She was incredibly responsive, answering all our questions with patience and clarity, ensuring we felt confident and excited about our upcoming adventure. Esther also went above and beyond when helping me plan a surprise proposal with one of the lodges, and gave me suggestions on how to make this perfect.
We embarked on the 6-night, 7-day safari package, exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara. Each destination was phenomenal, offering its own unique charm and specialties. The lodges Esther booked for us were nothing short of amazing, perfectly situated in prime locations with exceptional service.
The journey was meticulously planned from the moment we left the UK. Every detail was taken care of, from our transfers prior to the safari, and the safari itself, and even our return to Nairobi from Mombasa. This seamless organization allowed us to fully immerse ourselves in the experience without any worries.
Once on safari, we were fortunate to have Duncan as our driver and guide who had over 20 years experience and absolutely loves his job. His knowledge of the wildlife was impressive, and his friendly demeanor made the trip even more enjoyable. Duncan had an uncanny ability to spot animals and provided us with fascinating insights about each one. He answered all our questions with enthusiasm and expertise, making our safari truly unforgettable. Duncan was also our photographer for the proposal and was willing to help without any hesitation.
Overall, I highly recommend Leisure Escapes Safari. Their attention to detail, excellent customer service, and knowledgeable guides ensure a remarkable and memorable safari experience.
P.S. Please get a drink with your driver at the bar of one of the lodges during your trip, they drive so much and put so much effort into making the experience special for you, and they appreciate it so much!!

5 day tour in 3 Safari Parks Amboseli, Tsavo West and Taita
All 3 parks and the accommodations with meals provides were extraordinary. We stayed at Ol Tukai Lodge, Salt Lick Safari Lodge and Taita Hills. All of high Quality, clean, comfortable and excellent food. The views from those places due to proximity of lakes or boreholes were amazing. We got very close to most animals and made amazing photos. Elefants, giraffes, lions, warthogs, buffalos, hyenas, Ostrich’s, hippos, crocodiles, all kind of Antelopes, cheetah, oryx’s, etc unfortunately we did not see a leopard and rhinos. Our driver and guide was James- he took well care of us and drove the landcruiser in a very safe manner! We can recommend this tour to others
