A dream come true
In June 2024, we spent a wonderful safari vacation in Kenya with Aquila Safaris.
The perfect service of the small company with its CEO and guide Mohammed Billow began with very competent and patient advice on the itinerary, the selection of national parks and accommodation.
During the safari, Mohammed impressively demonstrated his qualities as a Gold Level Guide. The friendly guide presented himself as an absolute connoisseur and lover of the parks we visited and their wildlife. On our extensive game drives from sunrise to sunset in a well-equipped safari vehicle, he showed us not only the Big Five, but countless other animal inhabitants of Kenya - be it small and large reptiles, insects, the colorful bird life or the variety of well-known and lesser-known mammals. With his trained eyes and the necessary instinct, he was not only able to give us the name of every animal he spotted, but also provide us with extensive information about its species, habits and endangerment. We benefited greatly from the fact that Mohammed is an excellent wildlife photographer, so he always tried to find the ideal spots for us as amateur photographers and filmmakers. We were particularly impressed by the fact that he always showed great consideration for the animals he spotted when stalking and positioning the safari vehicle. Fortunately, Mohammed had planned our safari itinerary in such a way that we were often able to take the time not only to quickly photograph an animal or group of animals, but also to observe and study them for a while. It was great that Mohammed shared meals with us. We were able to review what we had seen and experienced with him and also learn a lot about the life of the people in Kenya.
Thanks to Aquila Safaris and their fantastic guide Mohammed, we not only returned home with a large number of great photo and film recordings, but also with just as many unforgettable impressions and memories.
For our group of three, this safari trip was a long-cherished dream. Aquila Safaris and numerous friendly Kenyan people helped to ensure that these expectations were far exceeded for all of us.

Unforgettable Safaris with Aquila Safaris
Since 2014, we’ve been embarking on annual safaris to Kenya, driven by our passion for its breathtaking wildlife. In 2015, we were fortunate enough to meet Moha, and his enthusiasm for nature instantly captivated us. When he founded Aquila Safaris in 2018, it was clear to us that we would trust him to organize all our future safaris.
What makes these trips so special for us? As passionate photographers with a particular love for big cats—especially leopards—we appreciate the tailor-made safaris that Moha plans for us. He ensures that we can focus entirely on our passion by handling all the logistics, while consistently bringing us close to the majestic cats, capturing the perfect moments through our lenses.
The organization of the safaris is also impeccable. Moha always finds the perfect balance between price and quality when it comes to accommodations, precisely tailored to our needs. With his vast experience in all of Kenya’s national parks and reserves, he has consistently taken us to the best locations, whether for spectacular photography or unique wildlife encounters.
To date, we’ve gone on 12 safaris with Aquila Safaris, exploring different regions of Kenya, and each trip has been extraordinary. For us, one thing is clear: whenever we plan another safari, it will be with Moha and his team at Aquila Safaris.

Expert and Careful
We met Mohammed Billow through mutual friends and we are grateful they recommended him.
Mohammed’s attention to detail is excellent and he truly cares about giving his customers the best experience possible.
Thanks to his knowledge of animal behaviors and the areas and parks we visited, we were able to experience and enjoy our dream safari.
We would choose this company again and again upon traveling to the region.

Above & beyond Safari.
I have travelled to Kenya & Tanzania on many occasions, with different guides. Safaris are my thing.
Since meeting Mohammed a few years ago, I always now travel with Aquila Safaris.
Mohammeds vast knowledge of the flora & fauna is amazing, and makes for a fantastic safari.
As an accomplished photographer, he can also help you get that "perfect shot".
Accomodation is as suggested by Mohammed, but ultimately your choice, and has always been very good.
Nothing is too much trouble.
Every little detail is taken care of.
In my view "Above and Beyond " is how I would describe Mohammed & Aquila Safaris.
I will return again and again.

Best Guide in Kenya
My trip to Kenya was a childhood dream fulfilled and my expectations tripled by the most amazing guide, Mohammed Billow.
Mo"s passion for conservation and wildlife is so evident in his guiding. He was patient with us when we wanted to sit at a sighting for long and did his level best to find the Photographic opportunities we wanted, from Topis on a hill at sunset to a beautiful leopard in a tree. We had plenty of laughs and shared a magical 5 days with him.
I'm now planning on my next trip to return with a group and wouldn't think of using anyone other than Aquila Wildlife Adventures.

Extremely knowledgeable and friendly . The best operator one could wish to go on safari with
My safari with Aquila Wildlife Adventures was THE most enjoyable and memorable experience I have had in 50 years of pursuing my passion - game viewing in the most iconic locations in Africa .
I would strongly recommend Aquila Wildlife Adventures as the safari operator of choice for anyone planning a safari in East Africa .
The best guides I’ve ever had in Kenya.
The guide are so informative and friendly. We had kids that were 5 years old as well as 16 years old and everyone was always excited for the safari and guide’s storytelling. We loved staying out all day on safari. Its was such a wonderful experience.
