Fantastic
It was fantastic. Ibrahim and Sam give all to let us see all the animals and feel very confortable. I did'nt spect so much. Price and quality is good. Perhaps first place where we sleep (Kimana tent in Amboseli) needs a little bit of maintenance, but was good enough. Comunication with Mr. Otieno was perfect, he explain everything and made a very good price. As soon as I can I want to do anothers safaris with Kenya Walfing Suvivors Safaris. Thanks to all theam.

Great driver to see many animals, basic accommodation and meals
Communication was good, except for the first lunch. We had a special departure from our city, not Nairobi, which leaded to sweet snacks and bread only to be bought for lunch. We would have preferred to prepare ourself a real picnic if we were warned before.
Safari was great, we saw so many animals thanks to the driver!
Accomodation was very basic, we had single beds even if we requested before double bed and the camp was almost empty. They were rushing us to eat a basic dinner with self service, in an area without enough light.
In summary, Great driver to see many animals, basic accommodation and meals

Wonderful experience
My wife and I booked a customized Safari to east africa (Kenya+Tanzania ),.This was a wonderful life time experience and the memories are still fresh .The Safari covered Masai mara,Lake Naivasha ,Amboseli,Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater Parks with private cook and Driver/Guide in the Car.
We also booked the hot Air Balloon ride in Masai Mara,This is the ultimate adventure ,Souring in a hot air balloon over herds of in the inner reaches of the Mara Luckily enough seeing the Migration of wildebeest so clearly. In almost all the parks visited ,we were able to see the big 5 at a close distance.
After Kenya we crossed to Tanzania visiting Lake Manyara and Ngorongoro Crater.The views from the Crater rim are breathtaking with ever present abundance of wildlife.Ngorongoro is a must Visit !.
This is a trip to remember and we cannot thank John and Rama our driver/guides and the entire KWSS team for their hospitability and hard work they put to make our safari memorable.
We strongly recommend KWSS for everyone looking for a wonderful experience.
A great experience where we saw lots of animals up close and felt well taken care of.
What we were told before the safari happened, and more. We were well taken care of. Places we stayed were as described and to our liking. Everything was great.

Wonderful Company & Wonderful Experiences
My girlfriend and I had an absolutely incredible experience with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaries. We booked a 7 day trip stopping over in the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Ambroseli National Park. The company itself was very professional and attentive. From the moment they picked us up in the airport to the time they dropped us off, they did everything possible to make our experiences unforgettable. Our guide and driver, Marcos, was an excellent wildlife tracker (we saw 4 of the Big Five and many more), but more than that, he had such a positive outlook and an infectious laugh, that made our trip that much more enjoyable. We also had a cook, Jacob, who made delicious & fresh meals 3 times a day whilst we were on safari. What a luxury! In terms of experiences we did: a cycle safari, a horseback safari, many game drives, hiking, visited elephant & giraffe sanctuaries, and a boat safari where we saw hippos just metres away!
Some helpful tips on what to bring: 1) Flashlight (preferably the kind you can put on your head so you can have your hands free) 2) Binoculars (go for the best you can afford) 3) Mosquito Spray 4) Safari hat (to cover from the strong sun during midday) 5) Camera with a big zoom.
Again, we couldn't recommend this company enough! When we come back to Africa, we will certainly be using them again :)

Great Safari
I had a great time with my wife and daughter at Masai Mara, Nakuku, Nivasha lakes. Mr Otieno and out guide Shuma were very professional, attentive and made efforts to enjoy and see wildbeest. We were happy to see lines of Zebras, Elephants, Buffalo, Lions and so on....Leopard was beautiful and Cheetah.
Lodges provided were great especially the one in Masai Mara.
The car was good too. Keep in mind we stayed for 6 full days we visited most it...long hrs of travel but worth it.
We are returning again and probably will do Masai Mara for 4 days.
Mr Otieno was in excellent in terms of email communications. I trusted him all along also when making payments given that I booked it all from London. I will use the same company again.
Thank you Shuma and Mr Otieno.

A wonderful safaris living up to expectations
We had a fantastic safari with Kenya walking Survivors safaris, everything went smoothly.
We had game drives in Massai Mara and Serengeti national parks, also visited the Masai villages. Our drivers & guides Antony and Rama were always committed, reliable and very helpful. They answered all our questions and knew exactly where we could see the animals – we saw all the big Fives and the famous tree claim lions as well!
We had one night sleep in a tented camp located just outside Serengeti NP – even saw the elephants were eating grasses around our tent during the night, what an amazing wildlife experience! We really enjoyed the amazing wildlife and wonderful culture.
Great staffs and excellent services, living up to expectations, highly recommend without hesitation.

Best Services
This the second time I went to Kenya and I chose Kenya Walking again. John was our driver this time. He was kind and helpful and resourceful. We rented the vehicle from Mr. Ot. He gave us a very attractive rate. And the vehicle was clean and in good condition.
Definitely recommend go with Kenya Walking.

Fast Feedback and Excellent Guide
Mr O reply my mail very fast and fullfil most of my requirement.
We found out one of the lake cannot spot Flamingo, and he agreed to change to another one without charges.
Thanks both Mr O and Anthony.
Anthony is a very helpful, young and energetic guide, especially in Masai Mara. We have a very good trip with him during this few days. We spot all big 5. And we feel very comfortable to stay with him this few days.
