Friendly, Fun & Unforgettable Experience
5/5

We (me & my colleague from office) had a weekend available to us between our trip to Nairobi. After a quick search on net, we realized most of the tours are 3+ days. Unfortunately that did not work for us. On Friday afternoon, one of our friends suggested us to contact Sylvester of Seven By Far tours. And the efficiency with which he arranged the tour surpassed our expectations. By Friday evening our customized private tour to Masai Maara was confirmed
- in one of the best resorts inside Masai Maara (Sarova Maara)
- with one of the friendliest & knowledgeable game guide (Alex)
- in one of those cool 4x4 vehicles with pick & drop from our hotel in Nairobi
- at a much affordable price

Everything was on time and as stated; Saturday morning the tour started. Alex was a fantastic tour guide. He was friendly and very knowledgeable about Masai Maara & some history of Nairobi as well. And what eyes did he have - he spotted a Leopard sleeping on a tree some 50m away from its hanging tail. We ended spotted pretty much all minus the Rhino in the 3 hr game drive- Thanks to Alex.

Later in the evening we had a fun night at the resort with Masai dance and Indian music (sung by locals). Most memorable experience and must visit again place.

Sunday was as packed as Saturday and we were back in Nairobi in our hotel by afternoon.

Thanks again to Sylvester & team for arranging this at short notice. Wonderfully organized trip - we loved the place, loved the resort and liked Alex. I do hope for planning another tour for entire family and friends this time and of course with Sylvester & Alex.

Great service from Bushtroop safaris
Overall rating
4/5

Hello Everyone,

We just came back from Kenya and would like to share our experience.
We did 3 days/2 nights safari in Masaai Mara organised by Bushtroop Safaris. Jacqueline, the Sales Manager, was super helpful and responded to all our queries prior to booking our trip and also she looked after us once we landed in Kenya from the beginning to the very end. Our safari driver Isaac was knowledgeable and had a lot of experience.
We stayed in Lenchada Tourist Camp, situated just outside the Park gates. Safe, clean, surroundings very well kept with pleasant staff. Each tent has a bathroom and shower with hot water included inside as well as a double bed if required. Food was also tasty (if you have any special requirements you can notify the camp and they try their best to accommodate it). Drinking water is normally supplied by the Safari Agent but in case you run out, there is a bar (beer costs Kes250). In my opinion Lenchada has a higher standard than Enchoro Wildlife Camp that I stayed in last time I went to Mara.
One of the highlights for me was falling asleep in the tent being surrounded by the nature that comes alive at night, hearing all the animals outside is very special.
Our safari included a pick up from the airport, drive to Mara with the lunch on the way, photo stop at Great Rift Valley, afternoon game drive in the Park, all day game drive the next day (7am – 4:30pm), time at our leisure or optional Masaai Mara village tour, morning game drive on the last day, all meals and water while on safari and drop off at Nairobi or airport,
We saw a lot of animals including zebras, antelopes, elephants, lions and 02 beautiful families of cheetahs. We even witnessed the attempt of hunting. Truly amazing.
We definitely recommend the Bushtroop Safaris as they are very reliable and affordable. They have delivered all what they have promised and made our safari very memorable. Thank you.

Best regards

Great Company
5/5

I went on Safari for 15 days and everything was impeccable. Great attention and fair value for your money. Many Safari operators try to charge higher costs than what you can get online, however, Encompass was very fair with the rates.

Highly recommend this company to book your Safari

Amazing and more wonderful than I ever imagined
5/5

8 friends took a trip of 18 days( Aug 13-Sept 5) that was planned over a year in advanced. We gave Nick our thoughts and ideas and he planned a trip of a lifetime. He took time to answer all our questions and was very patient. Going in the fall which was winter there was the best as it is very dry and the animal have to seek the water holes which increased our chance of seeing the animals. At one watering hole we saw 18 elephants, what a site. Also amazing to see various species there 9 at least 6 different) at one time and not bothering each other, we should be so civil. He was our guide for 10days thru Chobe, the Caprivi region of Namibia and Etosha. We saw so many animals including the Big 5 during that time. Nick's keen eyes saw animals that were blended in with surroundings and invisible to us novices. We saw and learned about so many birds in addition to the animals.
The days we were on our own were also well planned and those day guides were knowledgeable and friendly, we were in good hands
Nick really made this a trip of a lifetime with his attention to every detail in addition to his knowledge, warm personality and professionalism will always be remembered. I have told many about this experience and hope they too will one day enjoy this experience.

gorilla trekking im bwindi nationalpark
5/5

Zusammen mit unserem Safariguide Klaus machten wir uns von Kampala aus auf den Weg zum Bwindi Nationalpark im Westen Ugandas. Natürlich war bereits der Weg dort hin ein tolles Erlebnis. Die vielen Bananenpflanzen und Teeplantagen und auch die wilden Tiere wie Löwen und Elefanten im Queen Elisabeth Nationalpark waren beeindruckend. Das Highlight der Reise waren jedoch die Gorillas. Mitten im ugandischen Dschungel konnte man die Tiere aus nächster Nähe erleben. Ein Erlebnis, das man wohl nur ein Mal im Leben erfährt. Wirklich unbeschreiblich. Vielen Dank dafür! :)
