Fantastic tour operator
From the moment we booked our 3-day safari to Maasai Mara, Kensai Safaris provided great communication. Their service was excellent and we felt well taken care of throughout our trip. The team at Kensai Safaris is reliable and ensured we received value for our money. We highly recommend them for anyone looking to have a memorable safari experience.

Kenya is a magical land, absolutely mesmerized.
Great week long tour for the missus and I. Booked it with Benson. Good guy, had a lot of patience for my thousands of questions before actually making the booking. Tailored the itinerary to my liking, even made changes according to our travel preferences.
We booked Sopa lodges in Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara with game drives in all of those places, in a private safari vehicle just for the two of us. The private safari was an excellent decision even though it cost a lot more, but you can't really put a price on peace of mind.
The resorts were exceptional. My wife and I travel a lot and these were some of the best we've ever experienced anywhere in the world. The heat during the afternoons was challenging, especially in mara sopa lodge who don't offer fans (horrible decision, someone should look into that asap). The safaris were wonderful, the roads leading to them not so. Naivasha is easily accessible, Nakuru a little hard to get to and Masai Mara is just so difficult to reach. Maybe flying there is a better idea. Long journeys are brutal on the back on those roads.
Got to see a lot of animals. Giraffes and zebras were my favourite since you can see them in and around your resort, no game drives needed. Among the big 5, we couldn't spot leopards, everything else was great.

Very friendly, accommodating and just really nice and competent staff! Would book again
We paid 400 USD for a three day sarafi through the masai mara reserve and it was worth every dollar. It was a pleasant stay and very true safari fashion in tenta and with locals hosting. We also booked our airport transfer with them and it just feels very familiar and welcoming.

Seamless and memorable
Danica booked us a family trip to Tanzania/Serengeti, Maasai Mara, Nairobi, Victoria falls and Cape Town. We got other quotes like from Abercrombie and Kent which are were similar, but ultimately went with Encompass Africa due to the great communication, much more personalised attention and the better quality of accommodation. Unlike the other people we got quotes from, Danica was always on hand to answer any questions, could tweak itineraries even at the last minute and offer excellent advice, even when I sent so many emails and at all hours of the day/night. She was dedicated and efficient and it showed in the absolutely fabulous trip she organised for us. It was so seamless and stress free. We never waited with transfers, everything was organised timely and meticulously from her and her team. The accommodation was luxurious and exceeded expectation. All the flights were perfect as was the itinerary she suggested, and we are forever grateful that we chose Danica and Encompass Africa for our trip. The only thing that put a dampener was the rainy weather but I am pretty sure that if we had asked Danica to fix that, she would have found a way! Thank you again Danica and Encompass Africa. You made our trip so memorable and we can’t wait to book the next one.

Memorable Northern Circuit trip
Being based in Arusha, Gilmag Safaris was easy to deal with and responsiveness by email or WhatsApp was faster than any other tour operator I approached for quotes on a 7-day trip on the Northern Circuit. Paid for the customized trip by credit card with a modest surcharge. I met the owners, Gilbert and Mary. They were friendly and helpful, making sure I got to Arusha Airport for a flight to Seronera airstrip. An email miscommunication about what I wanted in the itinerary was quickly corrected. Everything promised in Gilmag Safari’s proposal was delivered. Praise for my guide Mbasha cannot be lavish enough. Mbasha is knowledgeable about the wildlife, an expert driver on roads others were not handling well, and a great traveling companion for my solo trip.

Adventurous from Start to Finish
We did a short safari with Le Kobe Adventures & Safaris for three days two nights and it couldn’t have went any better. It was top class from moment of contact to completion. Everything was arranged perfectly by Elvis who we could always contact quickly to respond.
Transfers and flights went seamlessly and anyone we came into contact with was exceptional. Huge shoutout to Jessica who brought us from the airport to our guide in Arusha. She was one of the nicest people we have ever met and we loved our time with her.
Our Safari was brilliant we saw everything we wanted to see, our ride was perfect, the packed lunch and breakfast was perfect and the accommodation was fantastic. The highlight of the trip was our guide Ibra. He was knowledgeable it was unbelievable and he had a genuine care for the animals that didn’t seem to be shared by all guides. He was also a very safe driver who safely navigated us through some treacherous driving. We saw some very dangerous driving by other guides so we were very happy that we had him and felt so safe which was the most important thing.
Asante Le Kobe Adventures & Safaris team!

Unforgettable & very special trip!
We booked the 6-Day Aberdares, Sweetwaters, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara safari with Image Travel and Mwanje was very helpful and responsive. Even though we received final information in regards to our driver just three days before departure, everything went smoothly throughout the week. Our driver and guide for the week Jasan couldn’t have taken care of us in a better way. The drives between the lodges have been quite far through rural areas, but nothing we did not expect and the journeys felt very safe. No complaints about any of the lodges, great food and every single one with a different character which we really enjoyed. The safaris itself were stunning and Jasan helped us to spot a lot of animals and shared knowledge about them. The mix of national parks could not have been better and we have been able to see the Big 9 and Big 5 across the entire trip.
