He was up to the task.
We had the pleasure of working with Royal Star Expeditions for a group safari to Masai Mara National Reserve, and I cannot express enough how wonderful the experience was. From start to finish, the team at Royal Star Expeditions went above and beyond to ensure that our safari was flawless.
Prior to the safari, they provided us with detailed information and advice on what to carry, including a packed lunch and soft drinks from our game lodge. This level of attention to detail was greatly appreciated and showed their commitment to making sure we had everything we needed for a successful trip.
On the day of our safari, we were picked up on time by our driver guide, Sammy. Not only was Sammy incredibly professional, but he also had an extensive knowledge of the park and its wildlife. He shared fascinating facts and stories with us throughout the safari, making the experience even more enjoyable.
Masai Mara National Reserve itself was stunning, and we were lucky enough to see a wide variety of animals in their natural habitat. The picnic inside the park was a highlight, as we were able to relax and enjoy our packed lunch while surrounded by the beautiful scenery and wildlife.
Overall, our safari with Royal Star Expeditions was absolutely amazing. The level of professionalism, knowledge, and attention to detail exceeded our expectations. I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable safari experience. Thank you, Royal Star Expeditions, for making our first safari one to remember!

Excellent services, very friendly and always there for clients.
I had the pleasure of booking a safari to Naivasha through Royal Star Expeditions and I couldn't be happier with their services. From the moment I contacted them to the end of my trip, they made sure every detail was taken care of.
One aspect that truly stood out was their accommodation booking at The Great Rift Valley Lodge. The lodge itself was absolutely stunning, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding landscapes. The rooms were spacious, comfortable and elegantly decorated. The staff was friendly, attentive and went above and beyond to ensure my stay was unforgettable. I couldn't have asked for a better place to relax and unwind after a long day of exploring.
Royal Star Expeditions took care of organizing my transportation from Nairobi to Naivasha. They arranged for a luxury private car, which was not only comfortable but also allowed me to travel in style. It was a seamless and hassle-free journey and I was able to sit back and enjoy the scenic drive.
What truly made my experience memorable was the exceptional service provided by Ms. Winnie Mbesa from Royal Star Expeditions. She was incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, always going the extra mile to ensure I was satisfied with the arrangements. Winnie would frequently call to check on me and make sure everything was going smoothly. Her dedication and genuine concern for my well-being were beyond impressive and I truly felt like a valued customer.

Very professional and caring
Our family safari to Masai Mara with Royal Star Expeditions exceeded our expectations in every way. From the moment we contacted the tour operator, Winnie Mbesa, via email and WhatsApp text messages, we experienced prompt and efficient communication. Winnie was always available to answer our questions and made the booking process a breeze.
One aspect that stood out during our trip was the seamless coordination. Royal Star Expeditions took care of booking local flights for our family from Mombasa to Nairobi and arranged road transport from Nairobi to Masai Mara. Everything was well-organized, and we were impressed by how smoothly the logistics were handled.
Our driver guide, Musyoka, was another highlight of our safari experience. He was not only professional and friendly but also had extensive knowledge about the animals and the reserve. Musyoka's expertise allowed us to learn so much about the wildlife and their habitats, making the safari even more enriching. His passion for conservation and respect for the animals was evident throughout the trip.
One of the main highlights of our safari was witnessing the breathtaking wildebeest migration at the Mara River. Musyoka skillfully navigated through the reserve, ensuring that we had the best vantage points to witness this incredible natural spectacle. The sight of thousands of wildebeests crossing the river will forever be etched in our memories.
Additionally, we were extremely satisfied with our accommodation at Sopa Lodge Mara. The lodge provided a comfortable and luxurious stay for our family. The rooms were clean, spacious, and beautifully decorated. The staff was friendly and attentive, making our stay even more enjoyable.
Overall, our family safari with Royal Star Expeditions was an unforgettable experience. The prompt communication, smooth coordination, knowledgeable guide, and amazing wildlife sightings made it a trip of a lifetime. We highly recommend Royal Star Expeditions to anyone planning a safari in Masai Mara.

Jovial, educated and knowledgeable lady.
Winifred Mbesa, is a jovial, educated and knowledgeable lady. She gave us the history and explanation of the animals behaviors. She efficiently planned and executed the trip from collecting the funds, to paying and registration, getting a bus to take us to the park. It was so much fun meeting Winifred.

Passionate and Very well organised
What I really enjoyed and appreciated about the trip was the lack of compromise on Quality of the villa we were staying in,the timings of pick up and making us feel comfortable.Royal star was very professional and kept to their promise of giving us the best even on a very limited budget.I practically did nothing,just packed my bags,got my SGR tickets details which had already been pre-booked through royal star expeditions and boarded my train to Mombasa.So hustle free.Also,the relationship with the villa proprietors who partnered with Royal Star expedition was really good ,gave me a lot of trust for the company and am doing another 1 week Mombasa trip with Royal star together with my two girls since I am assured of my safety.
