Highly professional safari guide & driver
5/5

We’ve experienced an amazing private safari in Samburu NP with Olengugih Safaris Team. We greatly appreciate their punctuality, dedication and extensive tour of Samburu NP and Samburu village. We were impressed with the accommodation at Lions cave camp, location and excellent food. Special thanks to our tour guide and driver for the location of our lunch at the banks of Ewaso Nyiro river, which was astonishing and for his commitment to make this Samburu safari memorable.

Wonderful experience
5/5

We did a half day tour and were picked up from our apartment and dropped off again. We saw the most animals in Nairobi National Park and Kelvin and his driver were very engaging. Kelvin also knew a lot about the park and the animals. It was a great tour with you, thank you!

Great Half Day Game Drive in Nairobi National Park
5/5

Just returned from 3 weeks in Kenya and Uganda. We did the game drive in Nairobi National Park on our free day before our organized tour started. We arranged the afternoon game drive on the same day in the morning. Of all the game drives we did during the three weeks in Africa this was the best. The park entrance was only about 15 minutes from our hotel. Many animal and bird sightings. We didn't drive far to find the next interesting spot to stop. Our guide / driver Chris was fantastic - knowledgeable and made us feel extremely comfortable while he provided a wonderful experience and lasting memories.

Friendly, professional, efficient & attentive to customer's needs.
5/5

Our experience from 6-day safari with Kelvin and Olengugih safaris:
- Friendly and professional at the same time;
- efficient and punctual when needed, while still creating a relaxing vacation atmosphere;
- attentive and accommodating to our specific requests and last but not least;
- having the eagle eyes to find and see so many exotic animals and knowledge to tell us interesting facts about them.
All of the above ensured that Kelvin and his driver exceeded our expectations, making this 6-day safari the highlight of our Kenya trip and providing long-lasting memories and tons of great photos & videos. Thank you, son of Gugih! ;)

Reliable, accommodating, friendly and true safari pros
5/5

We did a 6-day Safari through the parks of Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. A successful experience thanks to Olengugih, top guides who form a great team Kelvin and Theo, clear explanations, the best places to observe the animals and good moments of conviviality spent together. I 1000% recommend Olengugih!

Reliable, responsive to our needs, and put together a terrific tour!
5/5

Kelvin and his associates provided a top rate tour at a good price. I compared 4 different companies and Olengugih Tours provided the cars, accommodations, and stops that we requested. They even came up with a “plan B” for us to use if we were unable to do the original plan due to the flooding. It was wasn’t needed because we ended up with good, cool weather that allowed us to see amazing game sights all day! The free water and complementary safari hats were a nice touch.

My tour guide was very knowledgeable, engaging, enthusiastic and professional.
5/5

We had a great time on tour with our tour guides from Olengugih. They met us on time to pick us from the hotel and we were well taken care of from the start. They packed our luggage into the Land Cruiser and headed to Samburu. They spent time getting to know us and pointed our landmarks and sights during our long drive to the first park. Once we arrived at our lodge we settled in, had some lunch and set out on our first game drive.

We saw so many animals on our first day! Elephants, unique birds, antelope, giraffes, predators… Each time we stopped the guides gave us a wealth of information about the area, the animals, their eating/hunting/mating habits. I learned so much because of how knowledgeable and engaging our guides. I’m not kidding when I say I took thousands of pictures during our trip.

We spent a couple of days at our first lodge and they were punctual for all our scheduled activities. They made sure that we got to see all the animals that were unique to our park and I’m so happy that we got to see the big five even though it was low season. They were great about changing the schedule if we were feeling tired or needed to grab some food. When headed to our next lodge at Naivasha we did move a boating activity because of how long the drive took and the weather turned on us. We went the next morning and it was so beautiful that the time we spent on the lake was perfect. It made it such a pleasant experience knowing that we weren’t being rushed and could relax and enjoy our vacation.

Our last park was Masai Mara and we had so much fun. We got to spend time at a couple Masai villages during our trip and one of the Masai joined us on our last game drive! He knew so much about the area and I really liked getting to know him too. I was bummed when we had to head back to Nairobi on our last day. Made me wish we had booked a longer trip to see more parks and hang out with our guides for longer.

I can’t recommend this company enough. The planning was excellent and we were well taken care of. This was a once in a lifetime trip with my boyfriend and I can’t wait to plan another one with them! :)

Perfect short trip
5/5

Had a short stopover in Nairobi and decided to go on a mini safari trip with Olengugih. The pick up was punctual and my guide was super amicable and knowledgeable.

In the three hours it was full of pleasant surprises. I saw lions calmly roaming amongst tourist vans and countless giraffes. There were even Nile crocodiles. My guide was able to avoid crowds and stopped at every opportunity for spotting some wildlife. The lunch afterwards was authentic and tasty.

Would highly recommend!
