Kelvin is very informed, resourceful, a good listener and fun!
We did a 9- day safaris with Safari Zest Tours, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East National Parks.
We settled for Safari Zest after spending quite a bit of time researching online.
From the beginning, Kelvin responded to me quickly and was very helpful, tailoring the safari to suit our needs.
The safari itself went well, although it was probably a little bit long. We figured we were only going to do a safari in Kenya once in our life!
My favourite parks were definitely Amboseli and the two Tsavos. Masai Mara was most amazing, very green, wide variety of wildlife and clear views of the skies.
Despite having travelled high season, the accommodation facilities booked never disappointed at all.
My 3 friends and I found value for money on that Safari to Kenya.
It was a great experience for us and we are planning to go back soon!
Bravo! Bravo Team Safari Zest.

Memorable Kenyan safari with super Safari Guide and Excellent Safari company.
Me and my friends travel to many destinations across the World. Safari Zest Tours (Kenyan Based Tour operator) is one of the best, well-run company I've ever worked with. Kelvin, our trip organizer, was fantastic! He was super responsive, fast and answered dozens and dozens of questions for us. He priced many different options for us and gave us great recommendations. Everything he recommended like where to go and where to stay was accurate and worked out great. I had a couple of special requests which I couldn't imagine can be met considering they were last minute, all were delivered without any hiccup. Safari Zest Tours was very organized and provided everything we needed from the time we landed at the airport until our guide dropped us off at the airport at the end of our trip. Our guide, Nathaniel, was also fantastic! He worked tirelessly to make sure we saw the animals we have always wished to see. He was also very knowledgeable on animal habits and where and when to see them. We spent 7 days with Nathaniel on various game drives across Amboseli and the Masai Mara. He was very patient with us and made plans every night for the following day. He let us decide on the type of game drives we wanted to do and when to go. A good guide is a must for a successful Safari. I found Safari Zest Tours also to be extremely affordable compared to other options. I can't recommend this company enough. They gave us a Memorable experience. You're ultimately the best travel partners.

Memorable safari.
The beautiful skyline was the peak of our safari as we landed in JKIA, Very welcoming tour guide who spotted me and my family from away and boarding the land cruiser 4*4 as we departed the airport off to the hotel, Check in was smooth and detailed, Next morning we entailed to the long awaited safari to Maasai mara and had an amazing stop over at viewpoint With spectacular views of Mount Longonot, very memorable souvenirs from the curio shop too. My wife and son were so amazed by the beautiful scenery in Maasai mara and thanks to our most hospitable tour guide who ensured we got to spot the big five and cracked jokes ,Ensured we enjoyed our safari to the latter. The Maasai culture and high jump was out of this world.
Memorable memories indeed by safari zest tours.Asante Sana

Book a tour with Safari Zest and you will not regret it! You will have an amazing experience!
I planned my holiday with Safari Zest Tours. I was accompanied by two friends who are wildlife and bird enthusiasts! We did a private jeep safari in Kenya. We started at Meru National Park where we observed the Big Five! It is also home to one of the largest populations of rhinos and Buffalos in Kenya. We saw hundreds of bird species including the critically endangered Hindes Babbler. It was an awesome experience. For a change of habitat and experience, we headed off to Kakamega Forest National Reserve in Western Kenya and we were able to spot over 100 unique species, including the critically endangered Hooded Vulture. We were also lucky to spot the venomous Gabon viper around the campsite! Petrifying and also exciting at the same time! After three days, we opted for a change of scenery and drove to Tanzania, stopping at the world's renowned extinct volcano in Ngorongoro. The views were amazing, and the hikes through the highlands were just spectacular. We interacted with the Maasai community that lives around the crater. Lots of wildlife viewing and scenic beauty were one of the highlights in Ngorongoro. We then flew back to JKIA after a long trip by Safari Zest Safaris. I highly recommend Safari Zest tours to anyone wishing to have a wonderful trip in any East African country.

Friendly and jovial who was really informative and guided the tour with outmost professionalism.
We had an excellent safari in Kenya courtesy of Safari Zest Tours. The trip initially was supposed to be 5 days but ended up extending with 3 days. We started by an early game drive in Nairobi National Park which was spectacular, the view of the city, spotting of rhinos, crocodiles and herds of buffalos. Then the visit to Ol Pejeta Conservancy in the Northern Kenya where we spotted all big five animals, chimpanzees, the remaining species of Rhinos and many more. Camping at Mt. Kenya was enjoyable although the weather around was cold and windy, it was fun having the night bonfire and stories from the locals. Kelvin who was in constant communication with us suggested if we could try the Kenyan beaches and since it was our first time in Africa, we decided to give it a trail and he customized for us an itinerary to the Kenyan coastal at an affordable price despite being an extension and short time confirmation. Everything worked out well and we enjoyed beyond expectations. With no doubt, we strongly recommend the company as they're real travel partners!!!

Perfect!
My cousin and I recently embarked on an unforgettable safari adventure and we couldn't be more thrilled with the experience. It was my cousin's first solo visit in over 10 years so we wanted to make it truly special. Safari Zest Tours delivered beyond our expectations!
From the moment we booked, their customer service was exceptional. The team was responsive, friendly, and attentive to all our questions and needs. They helped us customize our safari itinerary to fit our interests and ensured every detail was meticulously planned

Very professional
First I rarely do reviews but felt good to give credit where it belongs.
When we began communications with safari zest tours we knew we had made the right choice. They are extremely knowledgeable and provided us with tailor made tour which ticked all of our desires at affordable and fare prices
We appreciate how Kevin and Onesmus did everything in person, from warm welcome at the airport, unique item in the gifts bag and clear plans for accommodation, transport and game drives . Kevin called us every morning and evening checking if we are okay and satisfied with the services and if they were any challenges. He kept reassuring us that he's just a phone call away
Onesmus was super good. He didn't just spot the animals but also narrates different stories about different communities and the history of the land
The jeeps were very comfortable and included WiFi and charging ports
The accommodation were beyond our expectations and we enjoyed our the luxury tempted camp
The perfect location to base ourselves
We are truly grateful for the memories this trip has provided us we look forward to our next adventure
Thump up!

Great Service!
I booked a three-day, two-night tour to Masai Mara through Safari Bookings with Safari Zest Tours. Mary and Joyce, their representative, promptly provided all the necessary information. WhatsApp proved to be an effective communication channel with both the travel agents and the drivers during my trip to Masai Mara. My journey to Mara was fantastic—Joyce picked me up from the hotel and introduced me to Mary and Charles K (driver), who guided us through Masai Mara. Throughout the process/safari, Mary remained in touch, ensuring a smooth experience for me. The respectful and excellent service from all (Safari Agents and drivers) made the trip memorable. I highly recommend Safari Zest Tours.

Amazing
Thanks to Mary for the excellent organization. We explored many options from different companies, but she suggested a tour that was the best. She answered all our questions quickly before the safari. Everything was exactly as described in the program. Special thanks to our driver and guide. He narrated a lot of interesting things about animals and their behavior, and also chose the best places for filming, having best view and perfect stopovers. He was very professional and fulfilled all our requests. Would always recommend Safari Zest Tours as they’re the best in planning your safari request!!!
