Amazing and outstanding service
It was our first time to Africa, and we had great time in Kenya and Uganda. Mr. Otieno is very responsible and always stays online to respond our questions and requests. We had very good memory in Masai Mara and Bwindi because of Marcos, our guide/driver in Kenya, and David in Uganda. They took care everything very carefully and always drove safely. All of us admired their good manner and also appreciated their hard work. Our schedule was a little bit messy because of some unexpected issues, however, it turned into good success because of Mr. Otieno’s and his team’s good work. Highly recommend Kenya Walking safari!

Great experience and a fun adventure!
The Safari was outstanding and well coordinated. All expectations were equal to or exceeded the expectations outlined in all the literature and e-mail correspondence. We saw every imaginable type animal and the beautiful sub-sahara landscape and countryside.
I highly recommend the Hot Air Balloon ride as part of your adventure.

I enjoyed the Safari and all the wildlife. The folks at Kenya Walking Tours were very professional and met all our needs.
Our guide was excellent as was the food and the entire "camp life experience"

Amazing experience
I loved this safari. Ibrahim was the best tour guide, he knew all the places and good spots on the highways, he found all the animals and he always asked us how we were doing. The only thing I would recommend is that Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru are really far from each other away so we spend a lot of time on the road. I would have liked that they recommended us one park closer to Masai Mara.

Swaggy Time
Kenya Walking Survivors Safari was a pretty good time. Ibrahim was our tour guide and he was legit the greatest tour guide that I have ever had, in Eastern Africa and in North America. He is hilarious and wants everyone to have a good time. He really likes dancing to Desposito and It Ain't Me by Selena Gomez so please play it for him. Kenya Walking Survivors Safari was really good to us, they picked us up from our accommodations and brought us back afterwards, they even drove us the the train station the next day because that's how fabulous they are. They are punctual and excellent with communication. Moses made us delicious food and had vegetarian options. I would not recommend the optional boat tour and visit to the Maasai village at an extra cost. Not worth it. Anyways, this was a super swag trip, I really feel like the company went above and beyond for us and had amazing customer service. Do a safari here, it will be swag.
Excellent Experience
I went with 6 other girls on a 4-day safari. Walking Survivors is a great company and we had a wonderful experience with them. Ibraham is an outstanding driver - he's patient, calm and keeps time. He made sure we accomplished everything we wanted and that we saw every animal we had wished to see - seriously, he's a great driver too and super friendly. The head office was very easy to coordinate our trip with and really go above and beyond to ensure you have a nice vacation.
After our safari, we had plans to get the train to Mombasa but were concerned we wouldn't have time to get our tickets. Someone at the WSS office was able to go buy us tickets and have them ready for pick up for when we came back to Nairobi. They had no obligation to get those tickets for us, but they did help us, and them getting those tickets for us was amazing and really made the whole of our trip run much smoother.
I would highly recommend Walking Survivors Safaris to anyone and everyone. The prices are fair, accommodations are nice, and drivers are wonderful.

The staff went above & beyond to make our experience fulfilling!
We traveled as a group of 7 young women to Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara. In the planning stages of our safari, Mr. Otieno was very communicative, always responding promptly and willing to accomodate to our needs/preferences.
Everything about our itinerary was highly organized - from arranging pick up at our hostel to having great meals throughout. Our vehicle was clean, reliable, and comfortable. Our cook, Moses, was a phenomenal and he worked hard everyday to ensure we were happy and fed. Our guide, Ibrahim, was the most amazing guide we could have asked for! He went above & beyond to give us a quality safari experience, not only in terms of seeing wildlife but also feeling safe. He was communicative, timely, friendly, caring, and very fun.
At the end of the trip, he and Mr. Otieno even offered to purchase our train tickets from Nairobi to Mombasa (as we were afraid they would sell out while we were on the safari) and Ibrahim drove us from our hostel to the train station after our safari had technically ended.
I would highly recommend booking with KWSS because the staff will work hard to make sure your experience is amazing! We were incredibly impressed by their service and we miss Ibrahim very much!
