A marvellous experience
We started looking for a Safari in Kenya via safaribookings.com for a group of five (couple with 3 grown-up kids) in January 2026, the Safari should take place in August.
After we entered our favoured dates, we were provided with several offers from different agencies via Whatsapp within one hour. We got in touch with three of those agencies, specified our needs and asked for prices.
Boost Safari's offer fitted the most in terms of tour dates, itinerary and price. They asked us to choose the category of accomodation: basic, mid-range or upscale, and let us know the prices. Everything was transparent and comprehensible.
We only had to tell them where we wanted to be picked up (in our case, a hotel in Nairobi, although airport pickup seems to be possible as well) and where we wanted to be dropped off after the safari. They then sent us a detailed written offer as a PDF via WhatsApp.
We deliberated for some days and finally decided to book with them. We had to pay 20% deposit in US dollars by international money transfer, which we arranged through our local bank. The transfer took almost a week and and involved fees both on our side and theirs, which we had to cover, but in the end everything worked out well. 60 days prior to the start of the Safari we paid the remaining 80% in the same way.
Having never done an international money transfer before, we were a little nervous about what would happen with the money (spoiler: it worked, and was worth every dollar).
Since we had applied for our Kenyan ETA only one day before our departure (it should really be done at least 72 hours before take-off) we contacted Boost Safari on the day of our departure. They even called the Kenyan immigration authorities on a Saturday and helped us resolve the issue.
We arrived in Nairobi as planned and spent two days at a hotel there. After arrival Boost Safari's back office contacted us courteously and confirmed the pickup for the following day.
On Monday morning, exactly at the scheduled time, we were met by a company representative and by our driver and guide, David, who gave us a very warm welcome and accompanied us on our seven-day/six-night safari.
The Safari itself was absolutely breathtaking and we were more than lucky with our guide. First we went to Amboseli national park, where we had a 3 hours game drive in the afternoon and a 12 hours drive the following day. We saw plenty of birds, elephants and hippos and even a cheetah there and were thoroughly informed about African flora, fauna and culture by our guide.
Then we spent a day and one night at Lake Naivasha, where we had a boat trip and had the chance to observe hippos, eagles, pelicans and fish. At Amboseli and Lake Naivasha we had mid-range accomodation, which were tidy and clean and served excellent food.
At our arrival at lake Naivasha David realized that the car had a technical issue (the 4WD went broke) and organized an exchange car, which was brought to our hotel the same night. The change of vehicle did not affect us or our itinerary at all; everything was handled smoothly and professionally.
The next day we drove to Maasai Mara, where we spent 3 nights. We had decided to stay in a budget tented camp outside the reserve next to an entrance. Accomodation was simple, but good and clean, the bed was very comfortable. Some vervet monkeys tried to get into the tent, but failed, thanks to the double zip.
The food was reasonable, and the staff were very charming. During one dinner, they even performed a traditional dance as a birthday surprise for one of the guests.
Maasai Mara was spectacular in August and with an incredible abundance of wildlife. We saw several lions, cheetahs, and a leopard eating its kill up on a tree. More than that there were literally thousands upon thousands of zebras, antelopes, buffalo, wildebeests and warthogs. On top we saw more elephants, giraffes, vultures and eagles. Some Marabous joined us for lunch, which we had under a tree in the middle of the reserve.
During a walk to the banks of the Mara River, accompanied by park rangers, we saw crocodiles and several families of hippos.
We decided not to wait at the Mara River for a possible wildebeest crossing, because we had already come across a group of six lions that had just killed a wildebeest. We spent more than a fascinating hour watching them have their breakfast.
The only one of the "Big Five" we did not get to see was a rhino. There are only a few of them in Maasai Mara and you have to get up early and spend a lot of time to find them.
All in all it was a great experience and we would recommend this tour and especially this operator without hesitation.

Dream life safari
With the tour operator Serengeti Smile we went on an incredible safari. Francisca organized a tailor-made program for us based on our needs and possibilities, and was always available for information and clarifications. Champion, our guide, was fantastic, he knows the parks very well and always knows how to spot the animals, always with respect for nature. An unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend contacting Serengeti Smile to plan your safari.

Amazing experience in the wild
Our safari with Serengeti Smile was an unforgettable experience. Starting with the organization, thanks to the help of Francisca, who was impeccable. Our guide Champion was fantastic — he led us through the wilderness with enthusiasm and tireless energy, taught us so much about the animals, and of course helped us make some incredible sightings. The price was very fair, and the lodges where we stayed were extremely comfortable.
