IN CRE DI BLE
James was very patient with me as we outlined an itinerary, and very accommodating to what I wanted to do. They provide full service with jeeps, which meant that even when it was pouring rain, we did not get stuck anywhere! Antony as a guide is amazing! He is knowledgeable about animals, plants and people, he is willing to share his insight and experience, he is very relaxed around animals and always makes sure his guests are too. I went to celebrate my birthday in Kenya and I was able to see all the animals, enjoy my surroundings and the peace in Kenya, and all of this was possible due to Alliance Destinations. I highly recommend their service, they are always available and keep checking in with you as well. Will definitely be back!!

AMAZING Adventure!!
For anybody with a 4 hr layover in Kenya..I highly recommend booking this safari. It surpassed our expectations. Mikael, our driver, was so friendly and courteous and shared his knowledge about the animals and the culture in Kenya. He went out of his way to make sure we saw all of the animals (even the Lions which were very hard to find). We left the park having seen all of them!! Alliance Destinations always responded to all my questions and emails and made sure we were back at the airport in plenty of time for our flight out, taking the stress away from us. We would go here again and again.

Maasai Mara, Kenya - The perfect first visit to Africa
I had a wonderful safari experience at the Maasai Mara National Reserve and really enjoyed staying at the Ashnil Mara Camp located on the Mara River bend. James was very helpful in organizing the trip and Wilson was an excellent driver/guide. Some highlights include a large clan of hyenas stealing a wart hog kill from a lion pride, a cheetah hunting Thomson's gazelles, a leopard resting under a bush with a partially eaten gazelle stashed up a tree nearby, and the same lion pride eating a wildebeest the next day. The staff members at Ashnil Mara Camp were very friendly and helpful, the food was delicious, and I loved hearing the hippos, lions, and hyenas at night.

Trip of a lifetime to Kenya
We had such a great time on our safari to Kenya and Alliance Destinations went above and beyond. Value for the price was really remarkable and James was incredibly helpful and communicative in organizing our trip. Our guide, Francis, was so knowledgeable and friendly and helped us to have unforgettable animal encounters! The accommodations were beautiful as well.
Thank you for everything! I would highly recommend Alliance Destinations for your travel to Kenya.

A true unforgettable experience! 6 days Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara
We decided to have a 6 days safari in Kenya (Amboseli, Nakuru Lake and Masai Mara) after a first experience last year in Kruger Park, South Africa. It was only one day, but it was really good as we spotted all the big 5 and we enjoyed the trip very much, so our expectations for Kenya were very high.
I have to say that James and Geffrey (our guide) not only met those expectations, they outclassed them!
First of all, communication during the trip planning was always very good: James replied to all our emails within few hours in a very kind and thorough manner (and believe me, as we were 4 couples travelling together, we asked lots and lots of questions!). Geffrey too made sure that our curiosity for things that we saw around us was always satisfied. And we've seen the lot: all the big 5 and more, this time within a couple of meters from our 4x4 jeep!
Geffrey professionality and personal connections really contributed to add value to our experience, making it really unique. Just to mention one: instead of having breakfast at the lodge one morning in Masai Mara, he helped us to arranged with the camp chef a special boxed breakfast, that we consumed later on in the middle of the savana, sit in the open, with elephants walking not too far around you...OMG!!!!!
All the camps and lodges offered in the package were clean and comfortable, with a good food selection, swimming pool, wifi, etc.
Our 4x4 jeep was comfortable enough for 8 people even during the long driving hours from a park to the other.
We never felt that the price offered for the package was eccesive or inadeguate, on the contrary everybody was fully satisfied by the deal and happy to pay for it.
The only downside was that we missed the big migration as we visited Masai Mara in the wrong season, February.....so we left the country with the desire to visit the park another time, and, if we will have the opportunity to do so, we will be more than happy to book with Alliance Destination again. Why? Because they are true to their company motto: "creating memories", amazing ones! Thank you

Amazing Safari without any Headache
Starting from the way they handled pre-arrival communications we felt like dealing with a professional agency used to customer service. James for the booking and organization part, Jeff as a driver/guide through Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara dusty roads formed the perfect team to make our first trip to Kenya an unforgettable 1. A part from the luck that comes with spotting all the big 5s and more (predators even several times), it was only during the second self-arranged part of our stay that we understood the importance of getting around with a 20+ years of experience tour guide and an organized trip with ref. contacts answering to accountability standards (do not give that for granted while on your own). Extra care for ladies needs (toilets ain't an option in all parks) and a "24hrs in service" attitude gives us confidence in recommending James & Jeff as Alliance Destination staff to anyone looking for a pleasant and thrilling stay in Kenya's nature without worrying for anything else from spotting wildlife

Value and service guaranteed!
Dan was excellent in his explanation and understanding of what we needed for our first safari. And Peter our driver was not only knowledgeable
Of species and areas, but very motivated and in constant communication with other game drivers to ensure we saw the animals in the area that day. We were enthralled with the Masai Mara.
