Very professional people ... had a super time
Kikwetu is a very professional safari organizers. They have a very professional team who work 24x7. They are very quick in their response and have a very good knowledge about the safaris.
We had a very good time with them and look forward to cover other parts of Africa with them.
I give them 5 stars for everything.

It was a very pleasant, safe and exotic travel experience
Communication with Kenneth was very warm, he was always available and would check on everything being okay at regular but also not too frequently so as to be disturbing. Masai Mara and the wildlife cannot be described In Words, needs to be experienced. The animals were like I'm live in national geographic, lovely giraffes, zebra, we saw the migration of wildbeast, 5 sets of lions in different combinations in 1 day. One was a troop resting withncubs, one was a honeymoon couple, one was alone drinking water, one lion and lioness in the grassland whom we saw very closely. Also saw hyenas, vultures, leopard, cheetah and many many birds . Wish we had kept one more day for Masai Mara, the caravan picked us from the airport and was with us through the safari. The guide was knowledgeable and experiences and showed us good sightings but was a bit arrogant and particular about timings, tried to push us to shop at designated places (which were expensive) but we enjoyed buying stuff from locals on roadside at the entry point to the park.
We also visited Zanzibar and that experience was out of the world, the guide there Muhudini was very pleasant and showed us around very patiently, the place was beautiful - lovely waters and snorkel. Also saw dolphins on the boat ride. Enjoyed plantation and the culture of the place, everyone should consider incorporating Zanzibar islands in their Africa travel. All in all the entire trip was very well planned and we were welcomed at all places with good hospitality and returned back safe and sound, and since Kikwetu is local to the trip was exotic and in our budget

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!

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.

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.

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!

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!
