Reviews
Excellent! Wow!
just want to thank Cover Kenia for arranging my five days safari to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara, everything went very smooth and they were very flexible with my requests. The initial lodge booked in the Masai Mara reserve was booked on my desired days, but Vincent worked with me to find a different lodge that was inside the reserve rather than right outside. This is important because if you stay in the reserve you can start morning game drives at 0600 otherwise they don't let you in until 0630. The morning game drives are the best because animals are still moving around from overnight, once it gets hot they become less active and more difficult to find. The price was very fair considering everything that is included (pickup and dropoff in Nairobi, driver/guide for five days, lodging, entrance to both parks, as well as the Masai village visit) the only thing that had to be paid separate was alcohol at the lodges and souvenirs.
I also would like to highlight my driver, Joe. He picked me up promptly at 0800 in Nairobi at my hotel in a very well maintained and clean vehicle, but that was just the beginning. He was knowledgeable of all areas and a pleasure to spend five days with. Joe was very energetic and truly sincere about his profession, as well as flexible with our schedule during our game drives! He was willing to depart for a drive at the earliest time allowed and stay out as long as we were allowed if that is what i desired. His love for his profession was clear in his attitude and actions. I could go on and on, but you get the point, he is a true professional and i would highly recommend him as well us Cover Kenia Safaris for future safaris!

The most interesting 5 days!
The experience with Cover Kenia Safaris exceed our expectations.
Of course the parks we visited are just wonderful, each one a completely different landscape and full of amazing animals.
However what made the trip perfect were the people that provide us with an amazing experience.
Our guide Edwin is an excellent guide, really nice to talk too and full of expertise in all different areas, fauna, flora, geology etc
Our chefs provided delicious and more than varied meals with a unique taste of Kenya; breakfast, lunch and dinner.
Overall our 5 days Safari trip with Cover Kenia was one of the best trips ever, we want to come back (we are a group of 4 friends) and we have some friends that are already coming on June next year.

Safe, responsive and always at your disposal.
Right from our first conversation during the tour planning with Vincent, we were guided through helpful recommendations. All queries were discussed in detail and answered promptly; during the day, evenings, sometimes at night - given the time zone difference. Cover Kenia Safaris paid attention to every detail and managed our expectations with proper engagement, explanations and well-informed advice. Photographs of different camps, vehicles etc... were shared for us to arrive at a proper understanding of few unknowns. The overall organisation and coordination of the trip was outstanding. Our tour guide Andrew was extremely cooperative and took care of our needs at every step. His knowledge of every detail of the tour, planning and ability to curate to the best possible viewing made us derive much more from the tour.
The Mara experience was just fantastic; the sweeping plains and their expanse, the vast herd of animals and their diversity adds to the quality of the game viewing and the far reaching views made spotting easy. Our highlights were multiple sightings of pride of lions, group of elephants, cheetah with cubs, a tower of atleast a dozen giraffes; amongst the hippos, crocodiles, hyenas, countless zebras, deers, gazelles, antelopes & cape buffaloes.
To sum up, we had a memorable experience; an adventure that will etch into our memory forever - with Cover Kenia Safaris managing our expectations superbly. Kenyan hospitality stands out and shows at every step! Thank you Cover Kenia Safaris!

Such an amazing experience!
Cover kenia safaris is such a good company to do your safari with, I thoroughly reccomend! Myself and my mum booked a private safari for 9 day tour visiting Tsavo West, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara, it was so incredible! Honestly a dream come true. Our guide, Thomas, was very kind and knowledgable, giving us facts about everywhere we drove past and all the animals we saw. We saw so many amazing sights, lions on a hunt, cubs, cheetahs, leopard, lots of elephants, zebra, giraffe just everything we wanted to see! All food and travel was sorted for us, and the 'picnic' lunch is actually a full on buffet with three courses for breakfast, lunch and dinner! I would definitely use this company again, everything was just so stress free.

Excellent management, descent staff and value for money
I was trying to book a safari over safaribooking and sent 5 requests. Linda was the one (and actually the only) who wrote me at Whatsapp, answering all of my questions.
Our flight from Cairo to Nairobi was delayed, so I changed a day of safari without any extra fees and later, although I was late on arrival, I was taken by the driver straight to the group which had already left the town by the time of my arrival.
All this time Linda was there, on the phone, helping and supporting.
The safari was amazing, we saw 4/5 of the "big 5". Our driver and guide, Derick, is extremely professional. He's been doing safaris for the last 15 years so basically knows everything about everything. Every single question we asked was answered straight and fully.
The accomodations and the food aren't chic. Don't expect 5 star camp neither Micheline star restaurant, but the camp staff is absolutely wonderful and kind.
It was extremely great and I enjoyed every single moment! Thank you Cover Kenia, Linda and team!

Holiday of a lifetime
We did a 7 day safari. Picked up on Nairobi, 2 nights in Masai Mara, one night in Nakuru, one in Naivasha and 2 in Amboseli. It was a lot of early starts on amazing scenic environments. The early mornings in the park are the best as animals are moving around and not too hot yet. The drivers were ensuring we were seeing everything while being respectful of the animals. They were very knowledgeable and shared their vast experiences, especially Moses. The accomodations were good, especially the Manjaro camp on Amboseli. Henry and the team there were fantastic. Vincent was very communicative throughout and went above and beyond to make the trip special.

Excellent tour that you can see all the highlights in East Africa,
Just back from 14 days Kanye and Tanzania safaris tour and had a lot of excited movements and unforgettable time. We saw some big lion’s families, a lot of cheetahs，leopards and more.
This company did excellent job to operate the tour. Vincent ( manager) can get some best Jeep drivers for our game drives to make the most of it everyday. Vincent communicated with me almost every day to make sure all the transactions going smoothly, I am really happy with him on this trip.
It called budget tour ,but all the commendation and food are pretty good, it is really worth every penny. Overall it is far more better than I expectation。
