Knowledgable Tourguide
recently enjoyed an unforgettable 6-day safari with Lensai Safaris, and the experience exceeded my expectations. Our guide, Fred, was incredibly knowledgeable, experienced, and professional. His expertise, passion, and attention to detail made the safari truly memorable.
The accommodations throughout the trip were excellent, and the staff at each hotel were warm, friendly, and welcoming.
A special thank you to the entire Lensai Safaris team for helping make this journey so enjoyable, and especially to Fred for being such an outstanding guide. I highly recommend Lensai Safaris to anyone looking for a well-organized and memorable safari experience.

Exceptional Accessible Safari Operator
As an accessible travel blogger and tour organizer, finding a safari company that could genuinely accommodate a large group with varying accessibility needs was one of the biggest challenges when planning our Kenya safari. From my very first contact with Judy at Lorna Safaris, I knew we had found the right partner.
Judy was incredibly easy to communicate with throughout the entire process — from creating and adjusting our itinerary and arranging payments to answering countless questions before we ever arrived in Kenya. She was exceptionally responsive and went far beyond what I expected from a safari operator.
One of the things that impressed me most was Judy's commitment to understanding accessibility firsthand. Before our group arrived, she personally visited the safari lodges, took photos and videos for me to review and use in our trip planning, and worked with the properties to ensure accessibility was a priority. She didn't simply rely on what hotels told her was "accessible" — she went and saw it for herself.
Our group ultimately grew to 16 participants, including six wheelchair users with varying needs. Lorna Safaris provided four safari vehicles equipped with accessible lifting chairs and ramps, allowing participants with different mobility levels to safely and comfortably access the jeeps.
And when unexpected accessibility challenges arose, Judy and her team didn't simply say, "That's not possible." They found solutions. At one lodge, for example, the door frame was actually adjusted to make it easier for a wheelchair user to enter her safari tent. The team worked directly with lodge staff to address accessibility issues as they arose, including making improvements during our stay.
Judy, Jimmy, Don, Anthony and Teddy were absolutely exceptional throughout the safari. They assisted wheelchair users when needed, helped with transfers and equipment, answered endless questions and shared an incredible amount of knowledge about the wildlife we encountered.
Judy also put a great deal of thought into selecting our accommodations. The lodges and hotels were chosen because they could provide multiple accessible rooms, had helpful and welcoming staff, were exceptionally clean and offered comfortable facilities and a variety of food options.
Organizing an accessible safari for a large group is no small undertaking, but Lorna Safaris approached every challenge with patience, flexibility and genuine care. From the months of preparation before our arrival to the final days of the safari — and even the follow-up afterward — Judy and her team worked tirelessly to make this experience possible.
For anyone looking for a safari company that genuinely understands accessible travel, I would highly recommend Lorna Safaris. Accessible safari operators are difficult to find, and those that truly understand the difference between simply having an "accessible" room and actually creating an accessible travel experience are even harder to find. Lorna Safaris exceeded our expectations.

Perfect, flexible, and accommodating Safari Operator
Just wrapped up an amazing multi-day safari with Lorna Safaris through Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara.
The Masai Mara was hands down the absolute best part of the whole trip—the wildlife viewing there was completely mind-blowing! 🦒🦁Planning was a breeze thanks to Judy, who set up a face-to-face Zoom call with a local guide before we even left home.
Travelling with multiple wheelchair users can be stressful, but these guys are pros at accessible travel. They provided an awesome safari vehicle with a lift and ramp, and they made sure all our hotels fit everyone's needs perfectly.
Our drivers were so kind, knowledgeable, and super flexible with our routes. We did morning and afternoon drives with a solid rest break in the middle of the day. Shout out to Don, Anthony, Teddy, and Jimmy... you were the best I've ever encountered.
This slower pace was perfect because we never got burnt out.
Seriously, look no further than Lorna Safaris if you're heading to Kenya! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Flawless, Fully Accessible 12-Day Kenya Safari with Lorna Safaris!
Lorna Safaris completely blew us away! They went above and beyond for our group from start to finish during our incredible 12-day safari through the Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru.
Planning a trip to Kenya can bring some pre-arrival jitters, but Judy was fantastic. She organized a face-to-face Zoom meeting with a local guide before our departure to walk us through every detail. Once we arrived, a pre-trip meeting with our drivers cleared up any remaining last-minute questions.
What truly set them apart was their exceptional attention to accessibility. We had multiple wheelchair users in our group, and Lorna Safaris provided a fantastic accessible vehicle equipped with both a lift and a ramp. They did a wonderful job catering to everyone's individual needs, and the hotels they selected were excellent.
Our drivers were knowledgeable, kind, soft-spoken, and highly flexible with their routes. We did a slower-paced tour with morning and afternoon game drives, leaving time to rest in the midday heat. This pacing was perfect—we never felt overwhelmed, yet we still packed in a ton of activities and saw lions, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, and so much more!
Use Lorna Safaris for your travels in Kenya; their reach is far and their service is genuinely five-star!

An unforgettable Safari Trip with Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris
We just finished our 3-day Tanzania safari with Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris, and our guide Lucas made it absolutely unforgettable. If you’re booking a safari, request him you won’t regret it.
We visited Tarangire, Ngorongoro Crater, and Lake Manyara National Park and saw incredible amount of wildlife, including the Big Five (5). Lucas always knew where to go and could spot animals we would have driven right past. His knowledge of the animals and ecosystems made every sighting even more special for us.
He’s also an excellent driver guide. He was patient, never rushed us, and made the whole trip feel relaxed and personal. He even took amazing photos and videos for us throughout the trip and shared them with us. We also loved the cultural experience he arranged at Maasai, and the lodge we stayed at was fantastic.
Lucas is friendly, professional, and truly passionate about what he does. We’re already talking about coming back again and would choose Lucas again to be our driver guide without hesitation. Highly recommend Serengeti Unforgettable Safaris and Lucas to anyone planning a Tanzania safari.

Great safari
Everything was well thought out and organised, everything went smoothly. The safari itself was amazing, we saw so many animals and had such a great experience.
A special mention to Tiko, our guide. He knows so much about the animals and how to find them, but what really made the experience special was how friendly and approachable he was. He made us feel completely at home and comfortable throughout the whole safari.

Isaac welcomed us warmly, guided with care, and made our safari truly unforgettable.
We chose Balu Travel for the many positive reviews we read and that actually confirm the professionalism we found. We have always had a single point of contact who made himself available from day one to accommodate our every need and answer all our questions.
About out tour operator, he accompanied us from day one with a warm welcome and was attentive to our every need, even unscheduled. With his joy and sympathy he made us live a magical experience, which we will never forget. In addition, during the Safaris, he did everything to achieve our goal of seeing as many animals as possible, including the Big Five. He was very thorough in describing the fauna and offering us some nice memory games during the trip. We thank Isaac for the experience lived and for the professionalism he has shown.

An unforgettable family safari with an outstanding guide
We had an absolutely unforgettable safari experience in Kenya as a family of four, and a huge part of that was thanks to our driver and guide, Joel.
From the very first day, Joel was friendly, reliable, patient and incredibly knowledgeable. He has an amazing eye for wildlife and always seemed to know where to go and when. We saw an incredible variety of animals and had so many special moments along the way.
What we appreciated most was that Joel never made the safari feel rushed. He took the time to explain the animals, the landscape and life in Kenya, answered all our questions and was wonderful with our two daughters. After several days travelling together, it felt much more like exploring Kenya with someone we knew than simply having a driver.
Our journey through Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Naivasha and Amboseli was one of the highlights of our entire Kenya trip and something our family will remember for a very long time.
We can wholeheartedly recommend Joel to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, warm and genuinely committed safari guide. Thank you, Joel, for making our week in Kenya so special!
