The best experience
4/5

Airport transfer was included. I was grateful. The person in charge was very kind and polite. Although my English was poor, there was a system in place to contact us at any time during the tour if I had any questions, and she valued us as customers. However, when I asked other participants, they had negotiated a slightly lower price, so the price may have been higher. If you pay by card, a 5% surcharge is required, so if you do not prepare US dollars in cash, you will end up spending money unnecessarily.

Thank you for your valuable feedback! We’re delighted to hear that you had a positive experience with our team and that you felt well taken care of throughout your tour. Your satisfaction is very important to us.

We’d like to clarify that the 5% surcharge applies to card payments due to bank transaction fees, which are standard for such payments. Regarding pricing, we always strive to offer competitive rates while maintaining high-quality service. Prices may vary slightly based on time of booking and period of the safari.

We truly appreciate your trust in us and hope to welcome you again for another amazing experience in the future!
Best Regards,
Juliet.
Simian Safaris.

Amazing safari experience at TOP level.
5/5

We went on a safari with Simian Safaris in March 2025, and everything was perfect! The trip was very well organized, and we had an unforgettable experience.

We chose the budget safari, but the accommodation was very nice, and the food was great. Communication via WhatsApp was excellent—every question we asked was answered very quickly. We paid 1/4 of the final amount of $ in advance and everything went smoothly, without any problems.

Our guide was amazing—he was very experienced, funny, and knew everything about the animals and nature. Thanks to him, we saw the Big Five in the first two days! We also learned a lot about the wildlife. So try to ask for Martin, if he is available, he has to be your choice number 1!

We can only recommend Simian Safaris to everyone. If you are thinking about a safari, choose them!

Simian Safaris KE organised a Memorable Tsavo and Mombasa Nyali beach experience.
5/5

I cannot thank Simian Safaris enough for organizing such a seamless and unforgettable three-day trip from Nairobi to Tsavo and Mombasa. As someone who prefers to avoid the hassle of planning, I truly appreciated how the team took care of every detail, allowing me to fully immerse myself in the experience.

My journey began with a visit to Tsavo National Park, where I was lucky enough to witness the majestic elephants grazing freely in their natural habitat. Seeing them with their young ones was a heartwarming reminder of how deeply animals care for each other. The park’s breathtaking hills made for a perfect backdrop, and I couldn’t help but snap countless photos to capture the sheer beauty of it all. Kenya’s landscapes are truly unmatched.

The next stop was Nyali Beach in Mombasa, which, despite being busy due to the holiday season, was still the perfect destination to unwind. There’s simply no better way to experience Mombasa than by soaking in the sun and enjoying the inviting waves. I spent hours basking in the warmth and watching the sunset paint the sky in the most beautiful colors. In the evening, I headed to English Point Marina, where the live band was absolutely amazing. The carefully chosen songs, paired with the stunning beach views, created a magical atmosphere. The Christmas decorations added an extra touch of charm, especially the beautifully adorned Christmas tree. To top it off, the food experience was exceptional—everything I could have asked for and more.

On my final day, I ventured to English Point Marina Beach, which was a hidden gem. Unlike the busier Nyali Beach, this one was tranquil and pristine, offering a refreshing escape. As I walked along the shore, the view of Mombasa city across the water made it feel even more special. I joined the local boys playing football but couldn’t resist the call of the water. Swimming here was pure therapy, and I left feeling rejuvenated and completely at peace.

As a traveler who prefers not to deal with the stresses of planning, I’m grateful for how Simian Safaris made everything easy and enjoyable.
From their supportive customer service to the recommendations for places to visit, every moment was a highlight.
A big thank you to Simian Safaris for curating such a wonderful trip.

I recommend you don’t book with Simian Safaris
1/5

From our experience, Simian Safaris is not Safe!
We had the worst experience with a safari to Amboseli with this company. They made us first wait for half a day in a gas station waiting for the van.
They also promised a tour that, since the beginning, the driver said it was never planned, even though we paid more more for that specific tour. When we asked for a compensation or a refund, they stopped answering our calls. They even didn’t want to pay the driver for our way back to Nairobi (which was part of the deal and was paid) and THEY LEFT US ABANDONED IN THE NATIONAL PARK with no alternative to come back to the city. After making a lot of pressure from our side, the driver and the lodge, they ended up giving a solution, but our experience was obviously ruined.

Thank you for your detailed feedback. We're sorry to hear about the challenges you experienced with our services. Your concerns are very important to us, and we take them seriously.

We strive to provide personalized attention to all our clients, and we're sorry that you felt otherwise.
However, the lamentations indicated by Victor are vindictive. There is evidence to the effect that the expectations for a tour organized for him were met under the costs granted, as he successfully went for a game drive at Amboseli National Park, he wanted an additional day and night paid for by the company but was guided that would have only been possibly done at extra costs which were not factored in the initial plan for his tour.

Victor's review therefore does not represent a reflection of the services offered by the company.

Nyungwe Canopy in Rwanda
5/5

Simian Safaris made the trip to Nyungwe easy and enjoyable.
We witnessed unique thrilling forest canopy tour in Rwanda’s Nyungwe National Park; one of Africa’s largest montane forests, rich in biodiversity.

Walking across Nyungwe Canopy Walkway on the suspended bridge at a height of around 70 meters (230 feet) above the forest floor, offered breathtaking views of the rainforest canopy, give us a bird’s-eye perspective of the lush greenery below.
The canopy stretching for about 160 meters (525 feet) is a thrilling adventure for those who enjoy heights and nature.
