Samburu and Aberdare safaris
5/5

We had a really good guide, which made our safaris unforgettable. I think he is the best. He had a really lot of experience. For example, nobody had seen leopard in Samburu for 4 days, but he found it. There was a really good communication with this company, they prepared for us the best itinerary according to our needs. Please prepare for paying deposit which is 100% few days before safari start. They can also be flexible if there is something missing to you or you are not enjoying any of your itinerary. We should go for 2 days to Aberdares, but once we found out there is a quite dense forrest and animals are rare to see during the day on game drives, they offered us swap for hiking on Mount Kenya National Park where we see some interesting animals.

Responsive, helpful and reliable tour operator
5/5

We enjoyed our trip to Tsavo East National Park and Tsavo West National Park, which were arranged by Gemfinders. Although the trip was short, it was memorable for us. The team members coordinating our trip were very responsive and helpful. Their rates were reasonable. If we happen to come back to Kenya next time, we will visit Masai and Amboseli through Gemfinders. We recommend arranging your trip with this tour agency.

My guide was very friendly and knowledgable.
5/5

I had a great time seeing Masai Mara. I met the local Masai tribe and spent a day on a game drive. My guide was excellent and knowledgeable about the local wildlife and the region's history. We found two prides of lions, giraffes, cheetahs, grazing species, elephants, and many more. Seeing these animals in their habitat was terrific, and the landscape was astonishingly beautiful. We drove in from Nairobi, which was pretty interesting because I could see how the locals live and some of the sights along the way. If you like camping and exploring the wilderness, this adventure will be unlike anything you've done before. This was my first safari, and I plan to return one day with my family. The value of this trip is incredible.

I came to Kenya with very short notice due to business travel conflicts, and the safari organizers were incredibly accommodating of my last-minute plans. I was able to schedule this safari with only a week of notice, and the experience has been outstanding.

I encourage everyone to experience this at least once. Its unlike anything I've done before. Amazing.

Amazing people that gave us such an incredible experience and itinerary
5/5

I would just like to say a big thank you to Brian and his team and Gemfrinders for giving us an incredible experience on our safari in Kenya it really exceeds expectations.

Also a very big thank you to our safari leader Samson who made the whole journey so spectacular! We enjoyed his company and his professionalism which allowed us to explore and get such an amazing experience with perfect photos of wildlife in Kenya!

We started off at Samburu with such an amazing landscape and watched the elephants go about their day by our lodge as well as the perfectly organised game drives. Gemfinders also booked us in with a lake safar experience at Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha where we got to see the hippos and travel to crescent island to walk with the animals.

We were also taken to Masai Mara with a hot air balloon experience overseeing wildlife early in the morning and then a beautiful breakfast in the savannah as the animals walked around. We then finished off with another excellent game drive in amboseli to finish our trip.

We had an amazing journey on the way and met beautiful people in the village and those that were part of the community. Brian and Samson made this a trip to remember for the rest of our lives and we have made friends along the way.

We will definitely be booking with Gemfinders for our next safari to Tanzania, Serengeti and with many more to come with our good friends!

Thank you all once again!

The safari was awesome! My Spanish speaking guide (Arturo) was very kind, respectful and patient. The guide explains very well about the animals, about the park, Nairobi, tribu Masai and traditions.
It was a very nice safari!

positive communication, reasonable itinerary planning, good experience
5/5

We made a customized safari trip, and the safari itinerary was very reasonable. We experienced the places we wanted to visit and the hotels we wanted to stay in. We only didn't see the leopard in the big five, leaving a little regret. Although there were some problems during the trip, the staff had active communication to help solve them, which would not affect the experience of the whole trip. This safari was a great experience. It was unforgettable.
