5/5

My friend and I booked a four-day and three-night trip, which is economical budget, and the experience is great value. The itinerary includes Masemara National Park and Lake Nakuru. The daily schedule is wonderful. As a tourist, these days are enough for me to observe a lot of animals. Our guide Moses is very professional and careful. He knows every kind of animal, and he will park the car in a good position for us to see clearly. The accommodation, meals and rest arrangements of the whole trip are very good and impeccable! Have a wonderful Safaritrip with everyone!

Very good
5/5

- Good organized tour
- Friendly driver (Edward)
- First tent camp should be changed, nice people there, also food was good, but the the tent is awful.
- Maybe they could change the car, it was like a van. A real offroad car like Jeep would be a little bit more comfteble.

Great experience
4/5

We booked a 7 night safari to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli with our family of five.

All in all we had a fantastic week with our guide/driver Clinton, who was a very safe driver and positioned his car at the best spots for close encounters with wildlife. At the first game drive in Masai Mara we even spotted a leopard, which is the most difficult to find. Clinton advised us to change hotel in Nakuru, as the City Max is below standard according to the reviews. That was a good suggestion, the Buraha Zenoni was very clean and had a nice buffet spread. Miti Mingi Eco Camp (Masai Mara) was basic but clean and food was ok. In Amboseli we upgraded to the amazing, very luxurious Kibo safari camp but we heard Nyati (more basic, in the standard package) was also good.

The safari tour is great value for money, but I advise you to check and double check with Benson on arrangements made outside of the standard package, i.e. booking and payment of accommodation.

Logistics with other guests joining the car is also a bit of a challenge, especially if they have other plans than you.

Would have given 5 stars if logistics and bookings were flawless.

Nice travel agent. The people are very nice.
4/5

The service was excellent, except that we agreed to pick someone up at the airport for free and subsequently asked me for a fee. The price was cheap, the accommodation was mediocre and the overall value for money was good. Recommend it!

An Awsome Safari Experience
4/5

Despite having minor hiccups on travel arrangements i.e. changing vehicles and guides/drivers quite often due to logistics and shared vehicles, all other itemised arrangements were delivered accordingly.

Benson is my point of contact and the person who made all my 7N/8D Kenya Safari Tour arrangements

Prior to making any bookings, ask as much questions as possible in particular any additional charges for changes or extras you have requested that differs from the itinerary etc. And if affordable, get upgrades from the tented camps that can be very basic from stay to food provided. Even with upgraded accomdations, that doesn't mean creepy crawlies or lizards are at bay, so be prepared.

My comment to the accommodation is please have City Max Hotel in Lake Nakuru changed to another option as the hotel is less than desired despite food was very nice with generous portions and its staff were every accommodating and pleasant.

After numerous of vehicles and guides / drivers changed, James Muteti, is my favourite as he is not only knowledgeable but also very patience and attentive. All gudes and drivers that I had encountered, had definitely went the extra miles to ensure that we see as many wildlife as possible.

Kindly also ensure you have all the guides' / drivers' contacts during your trip to enable any communications when needed. Also please bear in mind if you are not on a private tour, then you are sharing vehicle or transport with other fellow tourists. Therefore please be mindful and be punctual as when you are late, you will also delay others.

That's what happened to me on 2 days, on both occasions some other tourists decided to retimed their own breakfast holding back their pickups resulting in me waiting 40 minutes for mine!! And all these delays resulted in us cutting back on time allocated for other things in the day or guides / drivers driving at high speed or rerouting to catch up on the time in addition to arriving very late at another destination on travel days. So at times the delays are not fault of the guides / drivers but are other inconsiderate tourists.

Many thanks to Benson, and all the guides/ drivers on my this trip, David, Kennedy, James, Gabriel, Eric and Kim in keeping me safe and making my safari experience an awesome one.

We booked from the UK & it was amazing. Thank you. We chose the parks & Benson created a package for us. The guides met us at Voi train station & we drove through Tsavo East, West & Amboseli up to Nairobi. Wow it was fabulous. Chet was uber experienced & spotted loads. First time safari for me & I loved it, highly recommend.

Competitive pricing, Sincere treatment, High-quality service
5/5

This safari offers excellent value for money. Compared to other safari tour companies, their prices are much more affordable. Additionally, the owner treats guests like family and is honest and trustworthy.

And very thank you to the staff at the company for their understanding and excellent service. Even though I missed the scheduled safari on the reserved date, they still allowed me to rebook the safari for the next day. According to the policy, the deposit was non-refundable if I failed to show up on the agreed date, but instead of keeping the deposit, they only asked me to pay the remaining amount. I truly appreciate the staff's kindness and flexibility. This safari company treats their guests like family, making it a choice I would highly recommend to my friends.
