Maasai Mara game drive and hot air balloon-Professional, polite and very pleasant
I had one weekend whilst in Kenya to make the best of. The owner of this business Fiona went out of her way to make sure I was comfortable and felt safe (as a female solo traveller). She is exceptional at communicating, very efficient and offers the greatest prices. My game drive, overnight at Maasai Mara and hot air balloon were all exceptional experiences.

An amazing, safe and exciting adventure for a family of four
We love Fiona.... honestly, booking with Inspired Feet Safaris was the best decision we made.
I am not going to lie... we were really nervous about booking a safari in Kenya online - you hear so many bad stories about getting conned so my husband and I did a lot of research to make sure that Inspired Feet Safaris was ligit. The communication with Fiona was perfect and after booking and finding out that our flight had changed so that we were landing a day later, Fiona was happy to move the safari to another date and it was no problem at all.
We have two boys (12 and 9) so our main priority was for the trip to be safe and Fiona made sure it was. Our transport was lovely and the first morning we went to her office (the famous sofa that you see on their instagram) and we went through everything. She was so lovely and even walked us to the supermarket to get some snacks for our journey (being spot on with her crisps recommendation).
Our trip to Masai Mara was smooth. We swapped drivers halfway (which was explained beforehand) and this is where we met the legend that is Laurence. From there we made our way into our Sopa Lodge and did our sunset safari.
Honestly, Laurence went above and beyond (literally all while in his Landcruiser) for us to see animals and the finale for that night was a cheetah. Laurence knew so much about the animals and we learnt so much. He was great with the boys as well and would test the boys knowledge during the safari to see how much they remembered - this was so great and the boys loved telling us what they knew (what a way to be taught about animals!!!)
The next morning was our full day safari and all four of us loved every minute of it. I don't want to give too much away but we ended the day covered in dust, exhausted and recounting the adventure to one another over dinner while laughing. The staff at Sopa Lodge were also amazing - they were so good with the boys and made us feel so special.
The next morning we went to visit the Masai Mara Village and meet the Buffalo tribe. The boys loved this and wanted to stay the night and the Masai Mara people were so great with the kids and we bought some things from their market and thoroughly enjoyed the fun bartering (they actually started with this sentence "This is our price... just ignore it... it is too high and we will definitely go lower!!!" lol).
After this we said goodbye to our fabulous Laurence and met Boniface (he was so lovely) - here we went to Lake Naivasha to see the Hippos (once again our guide on the boat was amazing with the boys and got them to feed an eagle and drive the boat) and we also took a walking tour on the island (hmmm, is it an island??? I think it isn't but you get there by boat lol) - here we learnt more about animals and got to get some great photos next to them.
We finally got to Lake Nakuru and got ready for our early morning safari the next day. Boniface took us earlier (which we were so fine with - who needs to sleep when you can see animals in the wild... we can sleep on the flight home lol) - watching the sunrise over Lake Nakuru was stunning and we finally got to see Rhinos (both black and white) - BTW Boniface's eye sight is superhuman - he saw a black rhino.. we saw a bush... then looked through the binoculars and BOOM... it was a black rhino. I have no idea how he saw this, without binoculars and also while driving.... we will rename him Super Boniface!
Lake Nakuru is a lot smaller than Masai Mara so we managed to see it all in 4 hours and we then made our way back to Nairobi to Fiona.
During the whole experience we would message Fiona or she would message us to make sure everything was okay and to be honest... everything was perfect. I am so sorry for babbling loads but I just wanted to tell you what it was like and how amazing it was. It is scary booking an experience online but I promise you - if you book it with Inspired Feet Safaris, you are in very very safe hands.
We will be putting together a video and posting it on our youtube page (we are not paid youtubers at all... just like collecting memories and sharing them) so keep an eye out on https://www.youtube.com/@TheRichieReel or on our instagram https://www.instagram.com/therichiereel
Would we recommended Inspired Feet Safari..... 100% YESSSSSS (and yes that is me shouting it lol)

Amazing tour operator - Fiona took such great care of us!!!
My husband and I went on a 4-day/3-night budget safari tour. Fiona was super communicative, and answered all our questions leading up to the trip. She upgraded us from a van to a 4x4 jeep for an additional amount, which was super appreciated! Last minute we asked for an upgrade on our lodging - from a tented camp to a lodge - and she was able to help us out! We had a blast in this trip, the shared tour with other people in the jeep made it all the more fun! The value of what we paid for compared to what we received was EXCELLENT! Fiona made us feel at ease the entire time, so accommodating to our every need! She even treated us for breakfast before we headed to meet the jeep. Thanks Fiona, we’ll be back!

Safari package with a personal touch
We had a positive feeling about Inspired Feet Safaris from the first moment of contact: A kind voice message from Fiona immediately gave a personal touch and good vibes to the tour! We were seamlessly guided through the booking and preparation process and stayed in touch over WhatsApp during the actual safari as well. All our pressing questions were answered thoroughly and patiently, also special wishes and customized changes were made possible.
The accommodation lived up to the promised standards all through out the 12 day safari we had booked, we had experienced guides and drivers, and we felt in good hands all the way! Very pleased with the services and care we received, very good value for our money on top of that! Go Fiona, thanks a million!

Sitting on an off-road vehicle looking for animals
My wife and I chose Masai Mala and Nakuru's Safari. Mr. Harifa, the driver, picked us up from Nairobi. In the afternoon of Masai Mala, Harifa took us to the Reservation for first experience and helped us find a female lion, which seemed to indicate the success of this trip, although it was interrupted by a rainstorm. The next day was all day Safari, and Mr. Harifa drove through the muddy ground, searching everywhere, allowing us to fully experience what hunting is. Big Five is too famous. We saw Lion, Elephant, Rhino, Leopard of Big Five, except Buffalo. We saw Leopard climbing trees quickly to taste his prey, and we saw a large group of lions lazily lying under the shade of the trees. Surprised to see two groups of elephants and lions walking by. On the third day, we boarded Mr. Albert's off-road vehicle and arrived at Nakuru. In Nakrlu, we saw Buffalo of the Big Five, giraffes, monkeys, baboons, flamingos, and sandpipers. Unfortunately, the flamingo is too sensitive, and we can only see a pink patch on the lake from a distance. The 4-day event allowed us to experience Safari in Kenya, thank humanity for leaving a world for these animals, and thank the whole country of Kenya for its efforts. Finally, thank the company for its thoughtful arrangements. Special thanks to the two drivers, Mr. Harifa and Mr. Albert!
