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 service and attention to detail, truly outstanding.
I visited the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust in Nairobi National Park, organized by Royal Star Expeditions, and I must say it was a truly incredible experience. From the moment we set off on our safari land cruiser, I knew we were in for a treat.
First and foremost, I have to commend Royal Star Expeditions for providing us with an excellent safari land cruiser. The vehicle was comfortable, well-maintained, and equipped with everything we needed for a successful game drive. Our driver was knowledgeable and experienced, ensuring that we had the best possible vantage points to spot wildlife.
Now, let's talk about the main attraction - the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. One of the highlights of our visit was witnessing baby elephants drinking milk from giant feeding bottles. It was an absolute delight to see these adorable creatures being cared for and nurtured by the dedicated staff at the trust. The sight of them clumsily splashing around in mud during their bath time was especially endearing.
The visiting hours at the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust are between 11 am and noon, and it's important to note that the entry fee is paid in cash at the gate. Thanks to Royal Star Expeditions, we were well-informed about these details beforehand, which made the entire process smooth and hassle-free.
I must also commend Royal Star Expeditions for their excellent communication and seamless booking process. They took care of all the arrangements, including securing our visit to the wildlife trust. They provided timely updates and ensured we were well-prepared for the experience. Their professionalism and efficiency are truly commendable.
Overall, I highly recommend visiting the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, and if you have the chance, I strongly urge you to book your visit through Royal Star Expeditions. The sight of baby elephants being cared for is heartwarming, and the experience is made even better with a reliable and knowledgeable tour operator like Royal Star. Thank you for an unforgettable safari experience!

MY SCHOOL TRIP TO AMBOSELI
I can't express enough how grateful I am to Royal Star Expeditions for organizing an incredible sch trip to Amboseli National Park for my daughter and her classmates.From start to finish,the planning and execution of the trip were impeccable, leaving both the students and the parents entirely satisfied.
My daughter was bursting with joy and couldn't stop talking about her unforgettable experience at the place. She was truly over the moon,and her first words as she returned home were, "I want to go on more safaris!" That alone speaks about the amazing time she had.
One aspect that truly stood out was the level of communication maintained by the Royal Star Expeditions. They ensured that every detail of the safari was clearly communicated to us, allowing us to be well-prepared and at ease throughout the journey. Their prompt and thoughtful responses to our queries reassured us that our child was in capable hands.
Not only did the team at Royal Star Expeditions excel in communication, but they also showcased exceptional care for the students. From the moment they arrived at the park, the staff went above and beyond to ensure safety and enjoyment of the students. The guides were not only knowledgeable about the wildlife and the park but also took time to educate the students, making the experience both fun and enriching.
So impressed were we with Royal Star Expeditions' commitment to excellence that we decided to take our daughter on another safari to Nairobi National Park shortly after. And once again, they delivered beyond our expectations, creating another incredible adventure for our family.
Without a doubt, I highly recommend Royal Star Expeditions for any school trip or safari experience. Their unwavering dedication, attention to detail, and genuine care for each participant truly sets them apart. We're forever grateful for the memories they've helped create, and we eagerly look forward to our next safari with them.

One thing that sets Royal Star Expeditions apart from the rest is their incredible customer service. Winnie Mbesa, in particular, always goes above and beyond to make my travel experiences seamless and enjoyable. I can always count on her to pick me up from the airport, regardless of how late my flights arrive. I remember one time arriving in Nairobi at the unfathomable hour of 1.25 am, and Winnie was there waiting for me and my family with a warm smile. Her dedication and willingness to make sure her clients are taken care of is truly commendable.
One of the highlights of my travels with Royal Star Expeditions was the safari to Nairobi National Park. Winnie took my family and me on this unforgettable adventure, and my children were overjoyed to see lions for the first time in their lives. The experience was simply magical, and Winnie's knowledge and expertise in guiding us through the park added an extra layer of excitement to our journey. The memories we made during that safari will be cherished forever.
In addition to their exceptional service and attention to detail, Royal Star Expeditions also has a knack for finding the best deals and offers for their clients. They ensure that I not only have a comfortable travel experience but also get the most value for my money.
Overall, I highly recommend Royal Star Expeditions as a travel partner.

Friendly professional
Our boys club, consisting of 14 adventurous gentlemen, recently embarked on an unforgettable safari to Amboseli National Park, all thanks to the excellent organization by Royal Star Expeditions. What made this trip even more special was the fact that we were able to save up gradually with Royal Star Expeditions for a duration of 3 months, enabling each of us to pay at our own pace and as per our individual budgets allowed.
From the moment we set off on our journey, everything was carefully planned and executed flawlessly. The two safari minivans with pop-up roofs provided by Royal Star Expeditions were spacious, comfortable, and perfectly suited for wildlife spotting. Our driver guide, Nelson, quickly became an integral part of our adventure. Not only did he possess extensive knowledge about the park and its inhabitants, but he went above and beyond to ensure our experience was unforgettable.
One of the highlights of our safari was the music selection that Nelson played throughout our journey, setting the tone for excitement and anticipation. From lively beats to traditional melodies, the cool music from Nairobi to Amboseli truly added to the overall enjoyment of our trip.
Amboseli National Park itself was a picturesque haven for wildlife enthusiasts. We were awestruck by the breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro, which added a majestic backdrop to our wildlife sightings. The vast herds of elephants, graceful giraffes, and majestic lions provided countless opportunities for incredible photographs and unforgettable memories.
Not only did the safari offer incredible wildlife encounters, but it also provided a great bonding experience for our boys club. We laughed, shared stories, and marveled at the wonders of nature together. The camaraderie created during our time in Amboseli National Park was the icing on the cake.
Due to the overwhelming success of our safari experience with Royal Star Expeditions, we are already planning our next adventure. This year, we have chosen to witness the spectacular wildebeest migration in Masai Mara National Reserve in July. With Royal Star Expeditions at the helm once again, we have full confidence that this upcoming safari will be just as remarkable as our previous one.
Thank you, Royal Star Expeditions, for organizing an incredible boys club safari to Amboseli National Park. Your attention to detail, flexibility in payment plans, and exceptional guides make you the go-to choice for anyone seeking an unforgettable African safari experience. We eagerly look forward to our next adventure with you in Masai Mara National Reserve!
