Right people for the right place. We could not ask for more!
I was a little bit nervous at the time of booking our trip. We were seven of us. My husband and I don’t travel often, so I wanted this, may be a one time, to be really memorable. A relative suggested Kikwetu Cultural Adventures. Kenneth of Kikwetu was so attentive, he answered each and every query I had, and this made me feel that I was in touch with a “friend” rather than a tour company. He promised that we would take back good memories and yes we did. We appreciated the fact that Kenneth took pains to meet us on the last day of our trip to bid us farewell.
Musaga our smart and friendly driver and guide picked us up from Nairobi and headed to “Keekorok Lodge” for our 3 day safari. The hotel was lovely and the food was good. The staff very pleasant.
Musaga did a fabulous job on the safari. He was particularly keen to please us and show us which ever animal we wished to see. He would continuously keep in touch with the other guides and would race cross country over bumps, bushes and rivulets, which made the trip more exciting,, to get to the spot where the animal was. Musaga was ever so obliging. Thank you Musaga we will not forget you.
The maximum rating is 5 star, but I would rate Kikwetu a personal "7 star", and recommend Kikwetu to anyone wishing to have a memorable safari like we did.

A memorable Masai Mara Safari!
It was a well organized and enjoyable 3 day Masai Mara trip that Kenneth from Kitwetu organized for us. We were well informed of our itinerary. Although part of the roads to the Mara were washed out due to the rains and unpaved, Msagha Livingstone, our driver was experienced in keeping to the side of the road that made the journey easier and fun too. Our luggage was well protected throughout the trip. At the game drive Msagha went the extra mile to make sure we saw the big 5. It was a thrilling and exciting game drive at the Mara. The accommodations at Keekorok, beautiful sunrise and sunsets amid the African wild country made it a trip to remember! The surprise lunch was the icing on the cake. Thank you Kenneth for a lovely experience!
Excellent service, knowledgeable and pleasant guide, made our experience very memorable.
Excellent service, very knowledgeable and pleasant guide, would not hesitate to recommend or use the services of this company again. They went the extra mile to make sure that we had a great time.

10 day private safari over Kenya & Tanzania - Fantastic experience from start to finish!
My brother and I (25 and 30 year old males) did a lot of looking around as to what safari operator to go with (there's a reason it's all grey nomads on safari - it's not cheap). In the end, it was a no brainer - Kenneth from Kikwetu replied promptly to our email inquiries (don't know when the guy sleeps), understood what we were after and easily provided the necessary information (we had lots of questions) all with a great price. We opted for budget camping and were more than impressed with the standard of accommodation provided. Airport pick ups and drop off were included. I think a big part of the safari adventure is the driver - as you spend the most time with this person. We were extremely lucky with our driver Livingstone in Kenya who is a genuinely great bloke and has the eye of an eagle with his ability to spot animals. Thanks for getting the baboon out of the car for us! The standard of food prepared for us by our cooks was also great, we were never left hungry and in fact - always felt bad that we could not finish the food put in front of us! Travelling in Feb/March was a great time to safari - we saw loads of wildebeest giving birth to newborns and watching them take their first steps within 10 minutes of life, saw plenty of big cats - lions, leopards and cheetahs and of course saw the big 5 many times. Our safari covered the following - Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tarangire, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater.
Highly recommend Ken and his team at Kikwetu!
Thanks for making our safari to East Africa a memory of a lifetime

Great safari and service from start to finish!
My husband and I used Kenneth at Kikwetu Cultural Adventures for our time in Kenya last month. I'm so glad we did because it was fantastic service until the very end! Kenneth arranged logistics for us for all the activities we wanted to do and patiently answered all my questions extremely quickly. Highly recommended!

Very well organised, good guiding,many animal experience, all 3 lodges very good,also the meals.
Very good planning and communication with rapid answer to all our questions.
Good service and very good driver and guide (Livingstone) who knew all the animals and how to find them.
The safari was very varied with 3 different lodges and everyone had something different to show us on the safari.
We were satisfied with 2 nights in all 3 lodges.
The safari was living up to our expectations.
NB ! In Norway we always use seat belts when driving on motorways and we will recommend this except on the safari trips.

Direct and highly professional communication with nature and african culture.
The firsts contacts by email with Kikwetu were always fluid and friendly. The safari details were discussed and clearly explained. Once in Nairobi, since the first day, me and my wife received a friendly and kindly treatment by all the staff . During the Safari itself, the service and expertise of the guide were exceptional. I really can say that we recieved what we expected for a trip in the deep and alive Africa. Beside the richness of the animal and vegetal diversity, I specially enjoyed the different geological enviroments, since very old metamorphic and sedimentary rocks, to very young volcanic deposits associated with the Eastern African Ridge.
I strongly recommend Kikwetu.

The flavour of Kenya: Beyond Expectations !
Mysteriously, Kenneth contacted us when we were pondering to find a reliable agency to organize our first safari to Kenya! My wife, daughter and her family and I have just returned from a dream safari covering Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboselli. We had a great time from pick up at Nairobi and back. The safari, the service and the knowledge of the guide (Alfred), the viewing of the animals , birds and flora was excellent, as well as the lodges and food at each of the places. We now have a feast of memories, photographs and videos which will last us a lifetime. I am happy that all of us, particularly our grand children in their impressionable age have had this experience of nature on a grand and unbelievable scale. Maybe we may do it again!
