Truly an amazing experience
The moment I sat down to talk to OT about what I was hoping for in terms of a safari, I knew I was in good hands. OT asked wuestions as to what I wanted and then made all of the arrangements so I could get the best experience possible. I had a private tour with an amazing guide and cook. They were so friendly and quick to answer my questions and accommodate my requests.
I booked the four day tour which took us into the Great Rift Valley and into the Masai Mara for the riding portion of the safari. We spent the afternoon there and then the following morning. Antelopes, zebras, dik diks, impalas, elephants, a cheetah, lions, giraffes, hippos, hyenas and jackals were aplenty. We actually got to see lionesses eating with hyenas and jackals waiting eagerly for their turn. It was amazing.
The sleeping arrangements were great with a tent and its own attached bathroom.
On the third day we went on a walking tour which was nothing short of stunning. To walk amongst the animals made me feel like I was on the set of Jurassic World (but waaaaay safer:).
We also enjoyed a beautiful lunch on the Lake and a boat ride on Lake Nakuru.
I count myself lucky to have met OT. There were so many options and I know that I chose the right company. The only thing I would change if I could would be to book a longer safari. So I guess I will just have to come back:)

7 days - Samburu, Nakuru and Masai Mara
In July 2015, KWSS arranged for me and my wife a private 7 days safari tour covering Samburu, Nakuru and Masai Mara national reserves. Our guide and driver, Moses, was very helpful and tried very hard to make sure that we would meet all the major animals in the national reserves. The accommodations as well as the foods provided at the 3 national reserve were very good (our tour included breakfast, lunch and dinner). Since one of the main reasons for us in taking the safari tour was to take lots of wild animals photos, we were very happy that by the end of our tour we have been given many opportunities in taking photos of animals from close distance and also from the right angle of view. Overall it has been a great holiday experience for both of us.

Trustworthy, Efficient, Value for Money,
The communication with them was instant, without leaving any doubts in our mind. Their service too was good with excellent knowledge about Masai Mara and Amboseli with our driver Fred. The tour was conducted according to our expectations, accommodation at Kibo Amboseli was outstanding. Mara Sidai accommodation was okay, just basic. Our cook Jacob cooked up perfect meals for us.

amazing safari with anexcellent guide
We had an absolutely wonderful experience with Kenya walking safaris. We choose a 6 day tour around Tanzania and visitied the Ngongoro crater, several natioanal parks and airballooned over the serengeti. The trip was beyond our expectations and we saw so much wildlife and more action tan we ever could have anticipated. Our guide was fantastic, 'Soloman' was able to spot the lions hidden in the tall grasses and even rarely seen leopards and Rhinos. We were so thrilled with our trip and experienced a wonderful safari, which we will never forget.

Kenya Walking Survivors Safari made our family trip an unforgettable adventure
Thank you KWSS for providing outstanding advice and service to our family throughout the planning process and during our 14 day safari. KWSS individualized our itinerary and their attention to our family made us feel like we were their only clients. They changed our itinerary mid-travel to give us more time at Masai Mara and organized two special birthday surprises for me and my son. Patrick was a wonderful guide/driver in Kenya and treated our family like his own. We were fortunate to see the big 5--including a family of endangered black rhinos, as well as many other fascinating birds and wildlife. We also visited Masai and Samburu villages while in Kenya. The Mgahinga Gorilla Park was an experience of a lifetime that we only chose due to the local expertise of KWSS. We will definitely use KWSS for all of our future trips to East Africa.

Exceeded expectations
I was very impressed with the service I received from Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris. Mr Otieno responded to all my queries promptly and the price we were given was very reasonable and competitive. Patrick was our guide and driver and he was extremely good at spotting wildlife and was very accommodating of our needs. All the accommodation was great. I would definitely book with KWSS again based on my experience.

Great Tanzania Zanzibar beach safari
you can't imagine this, and up to now i can't believe it happened. We were a family of nine we did last minute booking. Kenya Walking Safari provided us with two 4×4 land cruiser which were all new.
The communication was faster and everything was fixed within 30min.
All our program remained the same throughout and no program was changed. The drivers were so much friendly and that made me love Kenya walking safari. Accommodation was perfect we really felt at home with a great competitive price.
We enjoyed to our best. I highly recommend Kenya walking safari. Oti once again am honoured for your service.Cheers.

Trip of a life time
This was a trip of a lifetime. Mr OT's communication via email was fantastic from day one. He replied to all my questions and concerns. The driver was waiting for us at the airport even though our plane was over an hour late. All of the drivers were more than helpful. The accommodation was great. I would definitely book with them again for my next African safari.
