Excellent lifetime tour!!!
My Husband and I visited Kenya Early October last year. We were having both Kenya and Tanzania tour. At first we were hesitant on whether to use Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris for our trip or not. Honestly we experienced more than we expected. Then owner OT Was ever answering our queries instantly. The driver Masha was the best.Accomodations were excellent and food coked by our own private cook Jacob .This was unbelievable! We are planning to visit East Africa Again in future to do gorilla and definitely we will use KWSS.I would recommend KWSS to everyone wishing to visit East Africa. Again thank you KWSS for making our dreams come true!!

Excellent adventure
Excellent staff, great care on a client. First of all a driver met me at the airport in Nairobi and bring me to the operator office and then to my hotel for free. Then, during the safari, mr. Otieno booked the bus ticket for me for my futher travelling. Thanks for that! And I had no problems on safari - tent, car, food - everything was nice.

Great Experience We will live to Remember In Africa
My family and I had trip this year.We had a wonderful time and a smooth ride. All the hotels we slept were nice and it felt like we are at our home. Our driver guide Clement and our cook Sam did an excellent work. They made us feel comfortable in Africa where we dint know anybody. Mr. Otieno was always quick to respond to us. We are so grateful to Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris. Those good memories will remain in our minds forever…Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris you are the best….

Great value for our money
We had been longing to visit Africa since we got married 5 years ago.We
once booked with a travel agent from here, whom later conned us the
deposit we had paid.It was frustrating and we decided to postpone our
trip.On our search at google,we came across this company and we decided to
gamble,Luckily ,the owner Mr Otieno gave us a call after we sent an
enquiry.We discussed everything over the phone!He was so responsive to our
mails and was also flexible to change the program where we needed a
change.What amused us most was that our whole trip was private with no
disruption. I would say dealing with a local company is so much better and
easier.I would give KWSS a 100% !!

perfect service, great team, a lot of fun.
We had a driver and a cook taking care of us and we became friends
we were a group of three plus driver and cook. The food was excelent, every day fresh and cooked with fantasy including personal wishes, e.g once we made a cactus salad with wild cactus-leaves.
The team was great. We saw all the big 5 plus hunting cheetahs thanks to the experience and flexibility of the driver.
I would love to repeat an experince like we did and can only recomend this trip, now that everybody is afraid of Ebola which is 5.648,1 km away (distance between Freetown, Sierra Leone and Nairobi, Kenya) and there is few tourism but all the warmth of the Kenyan "Hakuna Matata" and Caribu (="welcome").

Dishonest Management
It's a long story, but in summation we paid extra to stay in nicer accommodations but were taken to another location without being told or asked. We had to confront the company before they would admit the mistake. Management made multiple excuses with a story that changed each time then promised a refund for the difference between the two places. We contacted the company multiple times for this refund and have yet to receive anything.
At the end of the day, there are so many great safari companies, why use one that you can't trust?

Nice safari, can catch all big five, accommodation and meal can be improve.
The guide are professinal, show us lots of animal as he can, also the big five. In general, the accommodation and meal can be improve, special the lunchbox when we need to take a long transportation, only biscuit, cake, banana.

Awesome Experience ever
We travelled in Kenya under volunteer program where we stayed for a month.After we were done we did an enquiry through their website and within few minutes our mail had already been answered!Mr Otieno even made a phone call to us which made us gain some trust with them.The trip was organized in 3 days and we were good to go.Their prices were fair and their services were trhe best.It was very nice that such a big number of people could be managed that fast.I would refer anyone who wants to travel in East Africca to o for this company.

perfect safari in beautiful kenya
At the beginning of the small rain season we had a excellent private safari. Thanks to Masha (our pleasent driver) and Jacob (the best cook in whole africa). The time in November guarantees a beautiful background, because the clouds give more quality to the picture. Also at the camp grounds there is no bussiness and you can enjoy the evenings alone and hear only the nature. We would do it again every time. Thank you Mr. Etiono for the perfect safari. Good bless you and your staff.

Fun safari and good service
The safari was more than expected, very exciting experience to see all the animals up close and the national parks are breath taking. KWSS service is good, the guides are friendly, knowledgeable and led us to very good viewing spots. KWSS is also very flexible, trying to adapt and do their best to change the program to meet our needs. Their guide /driver Martin was the best. The only negative, their cook and cuisine were below par.
We will recommend KWSS to our friends.
