great value for money
We had the 8-day safari program in Kenya and Tanzania (Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Manyara, Serengeti and Ngorongoro). Abu was our guide in Tanzania and he was tremendous, client oriented and extremely knowledgeable about everything. We really got to see all the animals we wanted to see and highly recommend him. Our talented cook Jacob was also great (he accompanied us in Kenya)! The accommodation was much better in Tanzania but no complaints for the ones in Kenya...
There are a few things that could be improved: In the Kenyan part, we would have wished for slightly more proactive communication on our logistics and shortcomings in the timing of game drives as comaprted to the original written program (instead of copy pasting generic programs to client itineraries, they should be realistically altered to each trip), but all in all it was a wonderful experience, and certainly great value for the price.

Mr. Otieno is a very experienced leader, his team is a professional team,. I am strongly recommend Kenya Walking for aferica safaris. I will do so for my Chinese friends. Hopefully, they will do safari tour with Kenya walking soon.

Safari to Masai Mara, Gorillas, and the Serengeti
We researched all the East Africa safari companies before choosing Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris. We were impressed with the existing reviews and we really liked the itineraries they offered. We were not disappointed with our choice! All of our guides were knowledgeable, professional, and nice. We saw pretty much every animal there was to see. Some of the drives were long but the guides always handled it with a minimum of delays. The accommodations were as described- not luxurious but not budget either. The food was fine too. For the price we really don't see how we could have had a better safari.

Most amazing holiday ever, thanks to the company and our guide!
We booked 9-day luxury safari in Kenya, and from the onset everyone has been extremely helpful, supportive and informative. The office answered all our questions (and we had many) promptly and patiently. My elderly mother was extremely happy with the care and support that was extended to her during the tour by our excellent guide, Michael. We have been happy with our selected tour and lodges, and were lucky to see amazing wildlife due to Michael's patience and enthusiasm. He was very friendly and told us exciting stories about Kenyan history, cultures and traditions. I would recommend this particular tour, guide and company to anybody looking to spend about 10 days with some amazing nature and wildlife. I cannot thank Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris enough for this excellent adventure!

We were catered to from the moment we touched ground to the time we were dropped off back to airport
Mr. Otieno did an amazing job getting our dream Safari and Beach trip together. We did some extensive research, reading books and online reviews, etc looking for a reputable outfitter because this was our first trip to Africa. He was very prompt in his communication and worked with us in putting together itineraries based on our budget. He was also readily available during our trip when we wanted to make last minute changes on our trip. It was the perfect wildlife and cultural experience and can't thank Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris enough in putting together an unforgettable experience for us! Asante Sana!

Amazing wildlife spotting, nice selection of hotels and very friendly guides
We booked a 12 days safari - 2 months prior to the starting date. Even though we asked for some changes concerning the itinerary at short notice (we started the traveling during the week of elections in Kenya) it didn't cause any problems and Mr Otieno managed to set up a new plan according to our wishes. The safari went very well: good organisation, reliable drivers/guides with perfect knowledge of the parks, routes and wildlife. We had a great time with both of them: Robinson in Kenya and Tom in Tanzania. Thank you again, guys! Accommodation has been completely satisfying throughout. Highly recommended and we would book again with Kenya Walking Survivors.

Amazing Experience
We had such an amazing experience with Kenya Walk Survivors. The service leading up to the trip was great and they were always prompt to answer any questions. The safari was incredible. Our guide (Peku) was so knowledgeable and was always looking out for us. It is hard to describe the experience but it was definitely the coolest thing I have ever done. I highly recommend using this company.

Thank you Kenya Walking, you are the best!
We, a family of 4, with youngest member being 10 years old, visited Kenya for ~2 weeks, in late July/early August' 2017 with Kenya Walking. Boy oh boy, it was a dream trip and Mr. Otieno and team made it to be a wonderful experience of life, for all of us. It can not get better than this.
We had done some research and decided to book our tour with Kenya Walking. Kenya Walking has it's own fleet of good vehicles and great knowledgeable employee base. There are no other middlemen involved and we found them to be very reasonably priced.
We had requested for luxury accommodations and that's what we got. Great hotels with very comfortable living, strategically located and great food with cuisine options of Kenyan, Western and Indian cuisines, all included in the package.
They guided us and customized the itinerary per our request. Mr. Otieno is very responsive and usually reverts back within a few hours on any emails/queries. Very good in communication and easy to work with. Once we got there, they took good care of us and it did feel that they were trying their best all the time to make it the best possible experience for all of us.
We had Mr. Anthony as our tour guide and driver. He is very knowledgeable, experienced, flexible and caring professional. He is very safe driver too. It really felt like a family of 5. With Anthony we had great sightings, lot of fun and tons of learning,.
There was an over-payment situation at one of the hotel for some reason, hotel did not refund it right away, Mr. Otieno followed up with the hotel directly after we left and secured us the payment back. What else can you ask for, really?
Thank you the team at Kenya Walking. We are already considering for our next trip, the Gorilla Trek with Kenya Walking in about a year or two. :-)
