One of the most authentic experiences we have ever had
We booked a 4-day safari with Best Memory Safaris and before we arrived to Kenya we already knew that we were in good hands. Isaac was extremely responsive and very precise in every answer he gave us about our future trip to the savannah. He was the only tour operator (we messaged many) who was not trying to push us to buy the tour from him at all cost – but he made sure that his offer suits our interest and needs. Nowadays it is quite rare to see such attitude in the service sector unfortunately. Isaac is truly customer centric and this is what made us decide to take on his tour, which turned out to be one of our most memorable experiences.
Our driver was Saidi M. Harusi - an extremely kind, funny and genuine tour guide who knows a lot about the wild animals - we just couldn't have wished for a better one. He is very respectful towards both animals and people; and this respect is reflected in every story he tells about the wildlife in Kenya - as well as in the way he is treating his Clients and the people he meets during the tour daily. He is the type of person who truly cares of other people's wellbeing (both in his private and professional life) and during our 4 days trip he made sure that we are having an unforgettable experience. He was all the time very flexible whenever we needed a break - or wanted to watch the animals a little longer. He would go an extra mile (literally!) for his Clients when it comes to finding wild animals and would show them from as close as possible (but from a safe distance & without disturbing those wild beauties), which is truly a euphoric experience for travellers who go on a safari for the first time. Moreover, he is just as happy to see the animals as his Clients - which is really heartwarming to see. He is an incredibly jolly man whose positive attitude is contagious; and you can feel that he is not bored neither of his job nor the travellers. I can say that we have learnt a lot from him - and not only about the animals, but some valuable life lessons as well. We were truly sad to say good bye to him after our journey ended – we can not thank him enough for these wonderful days out in the savannah!
We also very loved the lodge where we have stayed during this trip – it was beautiful with a very close view on the wild animals passing by. The staff of our accommodation was providing an excellent service and the food was delicious.
Thank you very much, Isaac and Saidi, for everything – we will be back!

Impeccable service unforgettable trip
My friend recommended Gilmag safaris since she had travelled with them. Gilmag was fantastic from start to finish. They tailor made an itinerary that fitted well with our budget and time. Our emails were responded to on time in professional and friendly manner.
Our guide Chris was fabulous. We visited ngorongoro, ndutu, Serengeti and ndutu. We saw all the big big 5 and many more. We would like to thank the team at Gilmag for making our African dream trip a reality. Gilmag is well organized and reliable. Unlike other companies that insist on full payment before start of the safari, Gilmag offers a choice of paying by instalments and even clearing balance upon arrival. We highly recommend Gilmag to anyone wishing to travel to Africa.

Amazing experience regarding trekking (Mount Kenya) and Safari in Samburu Park !
It was the first time for me in Kenya and what a trip!!!
First, trekking on Mount Kenya. I lovely enjoyed landscape and vegetation during this trekking ! No real difficulty expect the altitude that makes breath more complicated.
And then, safari in Samburu Park, which is the nearest park from Mount Kenya (this choice allowed us not to have a long transfer between the Mount Kenya and the national park). What a back to childhood ! Seeing all those animals see that rocked my childhood imagination was amazing! And our guide, Matthias, is realy an expert in his job ! Thanks to him !
So if I had to summarize my trip in one word, I would say "Wow!".
Thanks a lot Peter for all ! It was a real pleasure !
See you soon

Attention to every detail from pickup to drop off.
First time in Nairobi and Masai Mara for 3 day trip and turned out to be the best experience of lifetime. Geophrey from Kenan travels organized a great trip and was in constant communication with all updates. Picked an excellent safari camp in Mara eden safari camp and the best Masai guide anyone can wish for in Moses. Would definitely recommend Kenan to others for a true African experience and use them again in my future adventures. Thanks Geophrey.

Incredible 6-day safari in Kenya
We went on the Natural Tours Kenya Safaris 6-day safari from Nairobi to Mombasa and also arranged transfer from Mombasa to Watamu and back through this company. We were very satisfied. Based on our experience this company is correct, precise and trustworthy, and offers very high-level services. Our e-mails were answered very quickly, the replies were thorough. When it became clear that one in our group would not be able to come, they made quick rearrangements and recalculated the cost of the safari.
We chose the Luxury accommodations and paid more for the jeep and we feel that this was a good decision. With the jeep we had access to places where the van maybe would have had more trouble getting to and there was more room in the jeep. Our guide Patrick was an excellent driver and he knew nature and animal behaviour extremely well. We learned something new from him every day about nature and Kenya in general. Patrick has a very good eye and he found even the hardest to spot animals from the landscape: rhino, leopard and cheetah. We saw the Big Five and a lot of animals you would not encounter very often. We happened upon some extraordinary situations, for example we saw 14 lions eating a buffalo just by the road. During the 6 days we went to 4 national parks which were all very different in their nature and landscape. It was a very good way to see the country.
We chose the accommodation places so that we could also try sleeping in tents with all the amenities, and we were very pleased with all the places. The places we chose were: Sarova Mara Game camp (in Maasai Mara), Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort (in Lake Naivasha), Ol Tukaj Lodge (in Amboseli), Severin Safari Camp (in Tsavo West). Every camp and lodge was great and beautiful in its own way, each had its own atmosphere. In every camp there was a good variety of food and everything tasted delicious.
All in all an amazing experience that we will remember for the rest of our lives! We reccommend using Natural World Kenya Safaris for a truly incredible safari experience!
