Great Safari with Leisure Escapes: A Journey of Wildlife, Warmth, and Eye-Opening Moments in Kenya
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.
Wonderful and memorable coupled with first class customer service experience
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 experience
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.

It was amazing!
First of all, preparing our safari was super easy, Duncan responded really fast and was able to create the perfect tour for us. Everything was really professional and went super smooth. Duncan was also our driver, he is very experienced, kind and knows all the animals (including soooo many different birds) and where to find them, we had a great time with him. He just wants you to have the best experience possible and you could really feel that. It was perfect! Thank you again, Duncan!
100/10 would recommend!

Great customer care and reliable traveling company
I was on my holiday break in Kenya and I went on a 4day tour together with my family to Amboseli park and Tsavo West park with Leisure Escapes Safaris. This was the second time booking with them as they had previously booked my Masai Mara safari and I really liked how they handled my booking. I did not hesitate to book with them again. Duncan, my contact in the company is very professional and was keen to our preferences. After informing him on our budget and what we were keen to see, he suggested this safari which I can say did not disappoint. Our driver guide was called James. He was very punctual while picking us and even for our game drives. Also he was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about all the places we visited and the animals we saw. We were booked at AA lodge in Amboseli and Ngulia lodge in Tsavo. We had a great safari, saw a lot of elephants on this trip. We also saw lions, cheetahs, hyenas, buffaloes, gazelles and many other more animals. I will again use the company for my next holiday in Kenya!

Excellent
Working from home and stuck at home with very few social activities, we decided to do a random trip to Nairobi National Park with a couple of friends and Leisure Escape Safaris came highly recommended budget-wise especially. This was the best decision we made.. the friendliest crew ever. Top it up with the knowledge of every corner of the park. My favourite was the rhino sanctuary where confiscated ivory (12tonnes of elephant tasks!!)was burned by the second President of Kenya back in 1989...you can actually see and touch the heap of ash. This is a must-visit.
We were also able to view the big five Kudos to Leisure Escape Safaris team who knew where to be at what time.
They were on time to pick us up in good time and they actually know the best time to visit the park.
I highly recommend.

Best tour company with great services
My girlfriend and I were looking for a weekend getaway in Kenya. We came across Leisure Escapes Safaris rates on social media and decided to check with them. They suggested several options and we opted for a 2nights at Amboseli National Park as we both love to be in the wild. The trip turned to be among the best we have ever had. Great service from Leisure Escapes Safaris from the way they handled us, gave us a very professional driver guide, booked us at Kibo Safari Camp where we could view Mt. Kilimanjaro from our room! It was just spectacular. The game drives were breath-taking with Jumbos around. I would book again with this tour company and recommend it to anyone as they gave us very personalized service and met our requests very professionally.
