Flexible and reliable tour operator
Our tour operator contact was Lencer. She was very flexible in organizing our travel itineraries to meet our preferences and needs in terms of where we wanted to go, how we wanted to get there and how long we wanted to stay at each place. She also made sure that we were picked up on time by our various drivers and guides, that we reached our various destinations safely. This wasn’t easy as we travelled to see family in Nairobi, visited 2 safaris and beach vacation, all on a very tight schedule. Our various guides were also very good and knowledgeable, particularly David in Masai Mara, who made sure we saw as many animals as possible on our safari trip. On our last day of our trip, we discovered that we had a lot of extra time at the airport in Nairobi with nothing to do. Lencer then arranged for us a last minute trip to the Giraffe centre that she took upon herself to take us to. It was all in all a very enjoyable and adventurous trip. We were well taken care of 100% of the time.

Timely reply to messages to solve problems.
The cost-effectiveness is very high, the staff are very friendly, and the driver is very cooperative with our travel. The only drawback is that the initially agreed upon hotel was not successfully booked, resulting in price changes.

An Extraordinary East African Experience
Our guide John provided us with an absolutely professional service, he knew everything about the Masai Mara and even knew the characteristics of each pride of lions as well as their habits. Whenever we suggested that we wished to see a particular animal, he always accommodated us, without exception, which was incredible. He is definitely a very knowledgeable guide and we could trust him completely. When we were in trouble and couldn't solve the problem in the local language, he helped us and solved everything. Brought us a reliable and trustworthy experience which made our journey extremely interesting and hassle free. In terms of excursions, we saw three of the Big Five of the savannah, unfortunately no rhinos or leopards, but an abundance of birds and an unrivalled pride of lions, which has been very satisfying. I love East Africa and I thank the tour operator for providing us with a great experience that I will remember for the rest of my life.

Great organization and with the best guide!
Henry Sam has kindly organized everything for me, and I had an amazing experience and team with Johny Jackson in Maasai Mara! Johny knows everything, we had lots of fun even on road, and he’s really good at finding animals!
It took a bit more time on transfer than I expected, but it’s not that boring, the view and landscapes are beautiful! I would highly recommend Johny to be your tour guide! He’s the best!;)

Perfect experience
From the first contact to request a quote to the end of the tour, everything worked perfectly. All quotes were answered very quickly and the itinerary was tailored to our needs.
I didn't have to worry about a thing, I was contacted in advance by all the drivers for pick up, hotels and tents were extremely well located and comfortable. From the beginning to the end of the tour we were assisted at all times and felt very safe, comfortable and well looked after. I highly recommend their services and am very pleased.

An amazing holiday.
From the start, Henry was flexible and accomodating. I asked for 3 quotes from different companies and Awuor gave us the best price by far.
We had been planning this trip for about a year, and the communication from the company was excellent.
The value for money on a 6 day safari and 5 day beach holiday was good. We swapped our beach resort from Mombasa to Diani and Henry was happy to sort that.
4 out of 5 of our hotels were excellent 1 was good.
Victor our tour guide was second to none. He was brilliant at being patient in finding the animals.
We would advise Awuor to reconsider it's route. Driving from park to park is part of a safari but we drove north to south an vice versa 3 times which felt unnecessary when we looked at a map of Kenya. This meant 3 days of 6 hours + drives before even going on a Game Drive.
Irregardles, as a honeymoon we couldn't have asked for better. It was truly an amazing holiday.

The whole trip was easy as the team was communicative and reliable.
My husband and I took a Safari with Awuor Escapades in August for our honeymoon. Everything was clear and easy to set up as the team was very responsive through email and WhatsApp. Everything was taken care of for us so e we didn’t need to worry about anything. We saw all the big 5, felt that we had an excellent trip. The most significant part of our safari was our guide, Philip O. He was a man of integrity, polite and respected the land, people and the animals. It was so nice seeing a man who relied on safaris for a living to still make sure we didn’t make the animals feel stressed and that no one fed the animals do they could be as natural as possible. The safari was amazing but I think the guide can really make or break the experience. We were very fortunate to be paired with Philip.

Excellent Tour Company
We booked our safari tour with Awuor Escapades as they had availability of the dates that we wanted. It is very difficult to find the right safari but we are so happy we picked the right one. Our tour operator named Henry was very helpful. We had issues getting to Kenya as Saudia airlines messed it up. We came a day late in our safari tour but Henry managed to plan everything last minute for us. We really appreciated everything he did, from picking us up from the airport to dropping us off at Maasai Mara. As we missed a day of our safari tour , Henry managed to squeeze us in for a morning game drive which was not part of our itinerary.
Even though we were a day late , we felt that we made the most of it despite our circumstances,all thanks to our tour operator. We communicated with Henry a lot before our trip as it was our first safari , he reassured us and sent us a detailed plan of what we were going to do for our tour. If we needed help, he was there to answer all our questions. The service was excellent and highly recommend this tour company if you want to book a safari. If you are unsure about how many days and dates , please look through their other tours they will happily accommodate a day more or a day less.
We had amazing experience with our safari tour . It was our first time and we would definitely go again with the same tour company.
