Had a great holiday
We had a wonderful vacation in Kenya with Native Africa Tours. We took a comprehensive tour of Kenya, including safaris in numerous parks, each one as magnificent as the next, accompanied by Moses (the person in charge of organizing the trip) and David, our driver. Everything went almost like clockwork: a few regular organizational issues hampered the trip, which were quickly resolved each time, but they did waste some of our time and energy.
Moses did everything he could to ensure the trip went as smoothly as possible; David is a focused and careful driver (perhaps a little too careful, as we were driving really slowly). He was rather quiet and unfriendly (while still remaining kind). Fortunately, Moses was there to chat with us!
Despite these two or three drawbacks, we will have wonderful memories of this vacation and recommend this trusted agency.

Very Savvy!
The overall experience about the Safari was amazing, especially thanks to our guide Amoz, he found a perfect spot to see lions in Masai Mara!
I would recommend to curate a bit better next time the tour as in our group we had a very rude and disrespectful couple making sometimes the trip a bit unpleasant for everyone. I would suggest is best to have at most 6-7 people in the group.
Overall good job!

They ensure a smooth & trouble-free experience.
From beginning to end the driver/guide, Alex, was cheerful & friendly. The whole experience went smoothly.

Fantastic experience
My partner and I had a private 2 night, 3 day drive at the Mara, staying in the Enchoro camp. The driver Michael was fantastic. He was extremely friendly, knowledgable, and accommodating for both my partner and I. We saw such a large variety of animals, including the illusive black rhino, and had such a good time. The camp itself was fine, but for the price we can hardly complain - for us, the important thing were the drives, which certainly did not disappoint!
Overall, I would highly recommend Sublime and the team.

Our experience with Semu Gorillas was really special:
On the positive side:
*We were short on time but didn’t want to miss the experience, so they adjusted the itinerary to see the gorillas in just 2 days. Even though it was challenging and tiring because of the long travel, they made it possible.
*All the planning was very smooth, with clear communication about costs, timing, and everything we needed to prepare for the trip.
*Seeing gorillas is not cheap, but they worked within a budget that was very competitive compared to other agencies, without sacrificing anything important.
*The lodge where we stayed was beautiful, with stunning views, very kind staff, and great food. They even prepared some special details for our honeymoon, which was very thoughtful.
*The car was comfortable, with reclining seats (which makes a big difference for a 9-hour ride!). The weather wasn’t too hot, but the air conditioning didn’t cool enough, so we often traveled with the windows down.
*Our guide, Joel, was very attentive, kind, informative, and proactive in solving any issues along the way.
Things to improve or consider:
*We had car trouble twice, which extended our travel time from 9 hours to 10 or even 11, making the trip quite exhausting. While it was a relatively new car and some issues can be expected on such long trips with challenging road conditions, there was a moment where we didn’t feel completely safe because the brakes started making noises on a very curvy stretch. Our guide was proactive in finding a solution, but perhaps better planning and vehicle checks could help prevent these situations.
*Meals on the road cannot be planned much, as they depend on where you are when lunchtime comes. Don’t expect anything special; it’s mostly standard roadside hotel food.

Guide could improve communication
The company was really organized and reliable, everything that was agreed on was delivered and they were easy to communicate with in the weeks preceding the tour. We did a 3-day group tour to Maasai Mara and the experience was amazing, the people we went with were lovely! However, our guide, Sharuk, could work on communicating better with us. At several moments, he would do something unexpected and not explain to us what was going on until he was asked - and even then, he wouldn’t explain it all. For example, on the first day we went to the park, it was most people’s first safari and he was demonstrating impatience when anyone asked to stop to look at an animal. He was trying to show us something special that was going on in another part of the reserve, but we could not know it since he hadn’t said anything. The next day, he stopped the car out of nowhere and went outside to fix something next to a tire without telling us a thing. We were kept wondering what was going on with the car until he came back minutes later.
