Professional and affordably safest Safari campany to take you around kenya!
We traveled with Bateleur Eagles to and from the airport and me and my husband were thrilled at the level of proffesionalism of the staff of Bateleur Eagles.They are completely trustworthy.They met us at the airport and took us to the right hotel and vice versa. My husband and I had the best of times visiting Crescent Lake in Naivasha, Hells gate ,the Giraffe center in Karen. Bateleur Safaris arranged all out trips. They gave us a personal driver for the entire trip who was very friendly, informative ,safe and honest. Their prices are reasonable and a great value and not to forget the comfortable and clean tour vans . The vehicles are world class. We consider returning and definately travelling with Bateleur Safaris on our next visit to Kenya. Keep up the good work ! You are a five star Safari campany! Much love from us in the Netherlands .

Perfect trip!
It was such an awesome trip! Thanks to Kegen and Jaco, who are a perfect pair that made the trip so enjoyable for us. We were so fortunate to have seen all the Big 5s, thanks to Kegen who is constantly hunting for them. He is so experienced and know the park so well. Also a fun & lovable guy, never a dull moment with him as he has endless of comprehensive explanation. Kegen also enjoys photography, he positioned the vehicle in such way that we could take great pictures.
Jaco is such a good chef, we were well fed with well balanced and delicious meals prepared by him.
Thanks guys for the awesome holidays, we hope to be back soon for more fun and animals and pics!

A wonderful experience with Kazi Khatibu
My 13 y/o son and I came for a week of Safari in the beautiful Tanzania. Kazi Khatibu was our private guide for the week. We had such a wonderful experience with Kazi. He is so knowledgeable, interesting and fun!!
We were learning a lot, laughing and just had a blast. I sincerely would like to recommend anybody who wants to have a perfect experience; to book a safari trip with Kazi!!!

Wonderful guiding to several parks with many exciting wildlife settings.
I booked a safari for my wife and me in Kenya through Africa Safari Classics starting in late January. I started with a suggested itinerary on its website and made some modifications, based on our interests and helpful suggestions from the manager Maurice Nzwii. Our safari included 2 nights in Tsavo West, 2 in Amboseli, 1 at the Ark at Aberdares (with its lighted waterhole), 2 in Samburu, 1 in Ol Pejeta Conservancy, 1 at the Sunbird Lodge at Lake Elementaita with an evening game drive at Nakuru, and 2 in Maasai Mara, before returning to Nairobi. Except for the 2 lodges, we stayed in very comfortable tent camps that all provided good to excellent meals. Our enthusiastic driver/guide Tony was wonderful. He was excellent at spotting and identifying game, and was able to quickly get us to prime sightings reported in Swahili on the short wave radio; he is highly familiar with the maze of roads in all of the parks. Tony was adept at positioning the vehicle for prime photographic opportunities.
We normally had 2 game drives per day and had plenty of wonderful sightings. The camps were all located at scenic spots providing opportunities for animal and bird viewing. Among the highlights were about 10 cheetahs spotted up close (including 5 brothers), several leopards including 2 with small cubs, many lions including a lioness with 4 cubs who had just killed a zebra, 5 rhinos at Ol Pejeta including one white, and lots of birds. We saw a broad range of terrains and habitats in the various areas of Kenya. While all the parks and reserves provided good scenery and some dramatic wildlife sightings, we especially enjoyed the density of wildlife in lush green settings at Amboseli and the Mara, as well as the excellent birding at Lake Navaisha. This was an ad-on to our initial itinerary suggested by Tony, based on our interests. We also added a visit to a Maasai village, which was interesting, but there was a lot of pressure to purchase handicrafts. We had also added a balloon ride over the Mara at sunrise. It was an interesting experience an we saw some wildlife including elephants, a lion, a huge herd of buffalo, and a hyena den, we more enjoyed our closer wildlife encounters on the ground. The balloon ride did provide a good opportunity to see the topography, including the many wildlife trails.
We arrived in Nairobi at 4:00 AM. Maurice had arranged for us to be transported to a hotel near the airport for breakfast, where we met him and our guide to begin our safari.
Maurice and Tony were in frequent communication by cell phone during our trip and we always felt we were being well looked after. There were some long distances between camps and sometimes challenging driving conditions that Tony managed well. Those drives provided opportunities to view the diverse terrain of Kenya (including views of Mounts Kilimanjaro and Kenya). It also provided opportunity to observe village life. At the end of our safari, Maurice arranged for a driver to take us to local sights of interest near Nairobi. At his suggestion, we had upgraded our safari vehicle to a Toyota Landcruiser rather than a Toyota van. This allowed access to more remote areas, especially in the Mara. In summary, we were extremely pleased with the wonderful service provided by Maurice and Tony.

We had a memorable Honeymoon thanks to Bateleur Eagle Safaris!
We booked our honeymoon package with Bateleur Eagle Safaris late last year and I cannot recommend them enough!
The whole setting up of our program was very smooth, Mathew & Newton were very quick to respond to all our questions.
They went way behold to make sure that we didn’t have to worry about anything. They tailormade our itinerary to perfection. On arrival at the airport we were met by a big smile and that moment we knew that we were going to have a great time even though it was our first time to Africa. Our guide Geoffrey was not only knowledgeable but also friendly and fun to be with. I cannot emphasize how wonderful Geff was throughout our journey. He was so knowledgable and answered every single question we had. He ensured we were able to see every single animal we had hoped to see (including the Big 5 and so much more). We were often the first people at the animal site and got to witness so many incredible things. At the end of the journey, we felt like we were leaving a part of our family!! We are already planning another trip with Bateleur Eagle Safaris to bring our parents to experience the unimaginable beauty of Kenya and Tanzania.

Perfect organization of the trip in Zimbabwe, Kenya and Tanzania.
Great partner for Africa.
We are a travel agnecy from Bulgaria and Inclusive Holidays Africa organized a trip in few countries for our clients. The program and the organization were perfect.

Amazing climb on the roof of Africa
Together with my girlfriend I climbed the roof of Africa. We booked a 8 day climb on the Kilimanjaro with Wilson's organization starting from Nairobi. Unfortunately he could not join us on the trip. But he really took care about us and our trip. He organized everything from Nairobi and supplied us with the gear we didn't bring by ourselves the day before the start of the trip. The guide who joined us on the mountain was a friend of him and came to take us at Nairobi. Wilson brought us to the bus station at the beginning and came to pick us when we came back. The tour was well planned and the team very friendly, funny and qualified. The only thing that was not really okay was the transport from Arusha to the gate of the Mt. Kilimanjaro National Park and back. The car was too small and in a bad condition. Nevertheless we will definitely never forget this experience and can fully recommend a booking with Wilson's organization.

Nice guy, always smiling
It was an adventurous and funny Trip. The Driver knew a lot about all the different animals and I felt save in the modern car.
Communications was very easy, the operator spoke nice english till I realized he is a native german speaker, so I could also speak in my motherlanguage. He made me a special price, wich I really appreciated. Although he told me his business is quite new, he made an experienced appeal to me, he told me later he worked for another Safarietourguide earlier.
I saw all lot of different animals, ate nice food and enjoyed the service wich is overall very nice in Kenya.
If someday i will come back for another Tour, I would definitively travel again with KingTomondo, they got a lot more interesting places to discover.
