The best tour operators I have ever used.
This was by far the best trip I have ever been on. It was beyond my expectations. The accommodations were excellent and the people working at them treated you like family. The food everywhere was delicious. The people transporting us were always there on time. I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.

Amazing experience!
Where to begin?! A former client of Mr. Otieno recommenced KWSS, and we are so glad he did! Everything was perfect from start to end! We were a group of 8 who planned this trip over a year in advance. Communication was excellent and Mr. O was very patient with our requests, providing a very personalized experience.
We arrived at the very beginning of the season and were not sure we would see the great migration but we ended up in the middle of thousands of wildebeest! Our sightings included a leopard eating a gazelle in a tree, lions eating a zebra, lions mating, dozens of farting hippos (hilarious!!), Elephant herds, wildebeest giving birth, and the list goes on!
Our guide in Kenya was David- thanks for the adventure! In Tanzania, GodLove took amazing care of us (he felt like family). We are so grateful to have met them!
All hotels were clean and well appointed: hot showers, great food and awesome staff.
If you’re considering a safari, don’t hesitate to book with KWSS! You will not regret it!

Amazing and Memorable experience touring my homeland, Kenya
From the first inquiry on reservations, communication was commendable, on time and follow up made. The services rendered were excellent from timely departure to the hotel to professional tour guides very knowledgeable on wildlife and culture. The hotel experience was relaxing with delicious food not to mention different variety of beverages. Time was managed very well and not rushed therefore allowing us to experience in our own individual ways. Afriqueen Adventure Ltd was recommended to us by a friend and so we had our own expectation on this tour. I can tell you we were not disappointed and our expectations were met. Being our first experience with them, I look forward to more tours and telling all my friends about it. Thank you Afriqueen Adventure Ltd for giving us value of our money!

Good communication, guide and accommodations, but need some improvements
1- Communication: fast and clear from the beginning till our arrival by Patricia.
It is better to have an intermediate (middle of safari) communication with the boss directly if in case we would like to clarify or modify Something. At the end of safari, the boss has a phone conversation, but it's the end of safari without really an effect on our safari.
2- Accommodations: Hotels were very nice. completely satisfied.
3- Guide: Very good at his job and could detect the animals very good. Very good driver. Not very communicative (part of the personality, so not a big deal). However, not very good at English. We had some difficulties to understand him or we need to repeat our questions in another way.
4- Safari tour: We had 7 days safari from Amboseli. The plan is nice and covers a lot of parks. HOWEVER, it misses early morning or late evening visits of the park, when in fact the animals are more active, rather than sleeping under bushes.
In fact, each day we were the last Jeep leaving the hotel to go to park (around 8am) or first one to return to the hotel (around 6:30pm). We entered the park, while seeing other jeeps coming back from pre-breakfast visit. For Amboseli and Masai Mara the guide told us it close at 6:30, however, online I checked and Masai Mara is open 24hrs. Couple of time we returned the hotel at the time when we exactly could see the actions (like lion was moving, éléphants were coming back, ...)
The last day, the guide told us there is no program and then I showed him that in our agenda it is written "pre-breakfast view". Then he agreed to have breakfast and leave hotel around 7am and have a short view (1.5hr).
This part is very important as watching animals sleeping during day is very close to our experience with Zoo. The point of safari is seeing animals in real action.
5- It would be great to have a binocular in the Jeep.
Thanks for the planning the tour. I recommend you for Safari, but with some modifications in the planning.

amazing Game drives
We booked our tickets to Tanzania with a travel package with Innocent from Maryo tours and did not know what to expect. We arrived to meet a polite, friendly and professional guide who over the next 3 days made sure we enjoyed the trip to the maximum. Innocent is not only a brilliant guide with a great eye but a perfect host who took care of all the small details to make sure we got what we wanted and more. We had amazing Game drives in Serengeti, Manayra and Ngorongoro. Thank you very much Maryo tours for good tour.

Mom and Daughter's 16th Birthday Trip
The Safari was planned with an excellent itinerary, and our Guide Bonaya was absolutely the best! We loved the accommodations, and the food was excellent at each property. The trip exceeded our expectations in every way.

Exceptional organization and service and nothing was too much trouble!
The Luxury Safari Company came highly recommended by some family friends who have caught the safari bug and had Rose put together several trips for them in the last few years. Rose was a pleasure to communicate with throughout the planning of our family safari, extremely prompt to answer all questions and when we had to make some last minute changes to the itinerary, she was able to solve our problem very quickly. The trip was simply amazing and everything was coordinated so seamlessly, we were able to just concentrate on enjoying the holiday stress free. 'Best holiday ever!' declared my 12 year old.

An amazing experience
Overall an absolutely perfect experience and I if we get back, we will for sure again book with Wildebeest Safaris and I would recommend to everyone else to do so if you would like a perfectly organized trip.

rememberable wildlife experience
- safari itself was great, saw all animals i wanted
- kilimanjaro hike was also good, but with sub contractor companies (not uhuru travel)
- organization of uhuru was not on point, i was left in the dark sometimes until a few hours before the trip.
-communications inbetween the tour operators was lackluster
still had a good time, would plan differently next time, i guess i got experiences equal to money spend, it was budget after all
first africa experience so dont know if this is standard procedure
