Trip of a lifetime
Kenya walking safari was everything I would have ever imagined for a safari—affordable, knowledgable guides, nice accomadations, great food and a customized itinerary. When booking, the Kenya walking safari staff helped me tailor my itinerary, and made sure I was able to see the major parks that I wanted. This is not a 'one size fits all' safari company, which I found to be the problem with many other competitors. The staff even helped me with booking a flight for my departure, which was much appreciated and took the hassle out of it. Thank you Kenya Walking Safari for making my trip to Africa a rewarding one, and I will be sure to only book with them in the future! I will always remember the laughs I shared with my driver along the way, too! Kim was our driver and he was a 10-star driver.

A good experience which went smoothly from start to finish
We were met at airport by a driver who took us to the hotel in Nairobi. The next day the safari driver & cook came to the hotel & introduced themselves; then they took us to the office of Kenya Walking where we met the manager (Otieno). He briefed us as to what to expect & we finalised some details of the trip. From then on the driver & cook worked hard to ensure that our Kenya experience was enjoyable & satisfying. Both spoke excellent English & our driver was familiar with the local wildlife & landscape. Our cook provided us with surprisingly good food throughout the journey. I highly recommend this company.

honest and thorough company
We are very satisfied with this company. This was a great and relatively cheap safari. We have met and seen lots of interesting people and things - landscapes and animals. We felt safe, we had very nice companions and also good and nice cook. The lodging was better as described, so only thing which troubled us a little was an"african time":)
We enjoyed this visit very much. We recommend this company.

Amazing vacation!!
Kenya walking survivors tour was above and beyond what my family expected. They quickly responded once I put an inquiry with safari bookings (which is a great search engine I must say). From their the owner OT, was on top of our email conversations and was able to make the upgrades we requested. He even took the time to call me several times to answer any questions . I felt confident that Mr. Ot was going to deliver what he promised. Once we landed he had one of his drivers Sami meet us at the airport. From their he took us to meet with OT, and he briefed us on what to expect. It was a pleasure to meet him. From their we were driven to our hotel that we booked the night before the safari started. He didn't have to include this and he did. We greatly appreciated this. The next morning , we met our driver who would be with us for the next 9 days, Sam. Words can't express how impressed we were with his knowledge, education and professionalism. We loved our driver!! Sam was super patient and caring. We were a party of 6 and my husband and I where with our 4 kids. Couldn't have done it without such a nice guy. All of our lodges were superb and the food at these lodges were great. All in all for a budget safari I felt like I was on a 7 star luxury safari. In fact all those fancy tour companies stayed at the same place. The key with KWAS is that their is no middle man. Super impressed I definetly recommend KWSS. Super professional and our expectations were by far exceeded. They were above and beyond. I promise to recommend this company to my friends and family. Hopefully, in a few years we can go back to Kenya and use KWSD.

Great Introduction to Kenya/Africa
Throughout the whole experience, the service provided by Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris Ltd is satisfactory. Before we book the trip we had many queries and they all got answered by Mr.Otieno very patiently and in a timely manner. We also got a nice discount by booking earlier. Kevin who picked us up from the airport gave us a warm welcome right from the beginning, and Ken who was our guide/driver for the next 8 days helped making this trip really fantastic and memorable. Ken is very experienced and communicating well. We felt that most things highlighted on the original agenda was clearly explained each day so we are not travelling 'blind'. We also got lucky as there was only the two of us for the whole trip so things are much more flexible. Overall the trip was really pleasant and we would highly recommend this company to anyone who's wanting to go for the safari trip in Kenya.

Amazing trip in Kenya
We booked a private Kenya tour with KWSS and had a great time there last month. Our driver/guide Ken was absolutely great! He took good care of us and showed us as much as possible. Mr Otieno was very patient and he arranged really nice accommodations and itinerary for us. We visited Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Bogoria and Masai Mara and each place is just beautiful. We recommend KWSS if you want a quality yet affordable trip.

The Great Migration
The trip was absolutely amazing! I loved every minute of it and was sad to leave. Your country is beautiful but even more beautiful are the people. Everyone was so incredible kind and accommodating!
John, our guide, was superb. He was so friendly, kind, helpful, and made us feel extremely safe.
The hot air balloon and the visit to the Masai tribe was our favorite memories.
I have already recommended your company to several friends. You are very good at communicating, your itinerary was excellent, and everything you state would happen was exactly as you planned. I have also mentioned to friends to request John as I think he was part of the reason we enjoyed the trip to much! Thank you again for everything.

Trip of a lifetime
It is difficult to describe how amazing the safari was with Kenya Walking! Each day was filled with safaris and sites to see. Every time I look though the pictures - all 4500 of them - I feel as though I am reliving the trip. The communications with the company were timely and clear. I couldn't ask for better drivers - Benson and Abassi. We were fortunate to meet Sammy as well and Jacob, our cook the first couple of nights. He cooked some of the best meals we had all week! The sleeping accommodations were good - the Sarengeti was my absolute favorite. Make sure to bring enough cash, as access to it can be difficult.
