Nice and simple! Travelling with character!
4/5

We travelled as a family with two little child and booked the Wasini Dolphin Tour.

Our kids were a little bit too young (4&2) for this experience so I recommend travel without.

It was a beautiful boat tour. We stopped for snorchelling, had a funny wave-experience on the Kisite mpunguti island and were able to catch a glimpse on a pod of dolphins.

We had amazing food and a cool tour on wasini island.

Marl is such a friendly and nice guide, answered all our questions and had some fun and interesting stories to tell.

We do really recommend this tour!

5/5

My daughter and I enjoyed a Mombasa city tour with Ruben. He not only showed us the usual tourist highlights - he was very communicative on life in Mombasa and in Kenya in general. Nothing was too much trouble, and he was a joy to deal with.

It was personal and well organized
5/5

We had 3 day tours (Shimba Hills, Mombasa, Wasini Island), everything was well organized and on time. In Monbasa there was also a tour guide for Fort Jesus and the old town and told us a lot about the history.

Marl is a great guide, he provided us with great accommodation and food, he did everything we wanted
5/5

At a very decent price, Marl booked us a unique overnight stay in the wilderness in a park with a view of the animals. He also provided us with breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, and provided us with local snacks and a full fridge of water during the trip. In the park , he and the driver tried to show us as much as possible annimals. Throughout the entire trip, he made sure we had the best possible experience. #nottoomanynuts
These starry nights and beautiful vast areas will remain in our memory forever. I recommend Marl and his entire team to all those who want to see the wild side of Kenya

Absolutely the best, no one could have done better
5/5

Rueben and his team of the very best guides are wonderful, from the first contact to us leaving him today. He has responded extremely quickly to all our questions and requests, he has gone out of his way to accommodate us all in every way even down to getting medical assistance for one of the group of 18 of us that have just returned from two of the best days of my life. The guides (ours was Peter) was fantastic, how he spotted half of what we saw is a mystery but we saw lions, elephants, Leopards, a hippo, Giselles, Giraffes Zebras, so many birds Ostriches, so many I am just blown away but this would not have happened without the amazing professionalism given by all the team. YOU MUST USE THIS COMPANY they are absolutely incredible 10 out of 10. In fact bloody brilliant well done Ruebon and team

Fantastic safari and brilliant value for money.
5/5

Eighteen of us booked an overnight safari for when we had two days in Mombasa on a cruise ship. From making the booking, we were kept up-to-date with all the info we could need and all the questions we had were answered promptly. Our jeeps were waiting for us when we disembarked from the ship and everything was organised professionally. Our driver was friendly and genuinely keen to show us as much wildlife as possible. He had a skill for being able to spot almost anything while driving and stopped whenever there was anything interesting to see. We managed to see lions, giraffes, elephants, a leopard in a tree and a hippo, as well as zebra, gazelle, ostrich, vultures, eagles and various other birds and grazing animals. The scenery was magnificent and the lodge at Voi was great - decent food, clean rooms and facilities and good service. We also visited a Maasai village and the two-hour drive from Mombasa was interesting in its own right. Reuben was with us the whole time to check we were happy with everything and was super friendly. I really can't find fault with anything and the price was excellent value for money. This was my first ever safari and it surpassed every expectation. A 10/10 recommendation.

1/5

This was a trip I looked forward to for months. Swimming with dolphins, swimming with turtles, visiting a park to see special monkeys and lunch at The Rock. Sadly, it took us over 2 hours to leave and head to the dolphins. After over an hour ride we had 10 minutes at the beach and no trip to see dolphins. We got to the Rock late but had a super lobster 🦞 lunch. We spent 2 hours there and now we were getting closer to needing to get back to the ship. I wanted to swim with the turtles so changed busses to join a bus going there. I loved the turtles and will always remember it. No time to see the monkeys as we needed to head to ship. Ruben is an excellent communicator but I think this trip was way too much for 1 day and we had no option to see what we paid for. If I had not changed busses I would have only seen the beach and had lunch. I think if there had been more organization and explaining the distance needed to travel there we could have chosen the meal and what options we had. I cannot recommend this company as I missed 2 of the 4 highlighted pieces of the tour.

Great Communication and a Tour with Hours of Delay
2/5

Reuban the company rep or owner, has great and fast communication. He promises an awesome tour endlessly but on two days of tours we did, there was hours of delays and most promised sites could not be seen. Port of Zanzibar, Tanzania: hours of delays, no turtles, no snorkeling, no monkeys as promised; the only site was the rock restaurant and 2+ hours were spent there needlessly. Port of Mombasa, Kenya to Tsavo Park: spent over 2.5 hours at the gate, not allowed inside the park, watching many other vans of private tours and MSC Cruises tours go in. Due to the delay, no lunch and no Masai Village. We were over 80 people in 14 vans - all bitterly disappointed! I cannot recommend this company.
