Experience African life
Kenia offers the possiblity to experience African (wild) life in many aspects. The different nature reserves present different landscapes and a variety of wild life. While travelling from one park to the other you get an impression of the culture and Kenian society.
The national museum in Nairobi is a good starting point - you can learn about the people and animals you might encounter during your visit. The climate was nice - in november it was warm and cool, some rain and much sunshine.
The tour guide and staff in the lodges where very helpful and friendly.

Greatest safari ever!
Maasai Mara safari Nov 24-27
It was awesome how many of the over 30 species and thousands of animals we were able to see in action, especially lions, giraffes, cheetah, elephants, buffalos, hippos! This was very much thanks to our experienced safari guide John🙏🏻
In our magic tent camp Kebo Mara, hidden in the wild nature, we met zeebras, gazelles, buffalos and giraffes, graciously doing their own thing just some meters from us.
Our 2nd wedding anniversary was celebrated with surprise Maasai dancing and singing by the whole (male) staff, and a heart-shaped cake served for everyone🥰 Meals by Chef Steven were all excellent!
Of course the drives were bumpy and dusty, as was to be expected. What we remained wondering is the amount of safari vehicles that is allowed to surround one individual animal or a group of them; don’t the animals get very stressed??
One minus for the Pegatour’s office was that they hadn’t given any relevant info of the new tent camp neither to us nor to their own guide. Kobe Mara tent camp (5 tents and the main house) was anyhow as such a wonderful experience with their utmost hospitality!
Thanks to John, Sami and his team👏👏👏

Beautiful landscapes, wonderful people, and an unforgettable experience
My recent trip to Kenya was absolutely amazing. From start to finish, everything was smooth, memorable, and even better than I expected. We were fortunate to have an incredible tour guide and driver, Benson, whose knowledge, kindness, and professionalism made every moment special. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we were safe, comfortable, and experiencing the very best of Kenya.
I also want to give huge appreciation to Michuki, an exceptional organizer who handled every detail perfectly. The entire itinerary was well-planned, stress-free, and thoughtfully arranged, allowing us to just enjoy the journey.
Beautiful landscapes, wonderful people, and an unforgettable experience — I couldn’t have asked for more. Highly recommended! 🌿🦁✨

21 Africa Safari is a very good tour operator
I booked a group tour for climbing Mount Kilimanjaro via Lemosho Route. However, in the end I was alone and had a private Tour. Nevertheless, it was a great experience and I got to know other climbers so I wasn't really alone/lonely. A private Tour also has advantages because you can do breaks whenever you want to, go your own pace etc. without having to take care of other group members. Elieth was very helpful in planning and answered all my questions within a few minutes.

Review about Serengeti National Park by Paul
The rains had not started and everything was the same brown color and there was very little wildlife

Stephen was a great guide!
My husband and I completed a 12-day birding and primate safari with Bushman Safaris. Our driver & guide, Stephen, was fantastic! He’s an excellent birder and an experienced guide and professional. We appreciated all the little details he saw to for us (drinking water, checking us in to the hotels, helping us find an ATM and gum boots, etc.) and felt safe and cared for in his hands. We learned and saw so much because of him! Most of the lodges/camps we stayed in quite lovely with good, healthy food. When organizing the trip, I communicated with Kate who was very professional, organized and clear in her communication. It was mostly because of her that I chose Bushman. Shortly before our trip, Kate left and other staff took over our account. These folks were not as professional or friendly and communication was frustrating. I hope they can improve these skills for future clients. Besides the staff communication, where I think Bushman could improve is being clear about what’s included in an itinerary and how long it realistically takes to get from place to place. (GoogleMaps was typically accurate on driving times.) We spent way more hours in a vehicle than we wanted and went to a few destinations that had little value for us. The roads in Uganda are bad once you get off the main highways, so that’s something that guests should be prepared for. It would have been good to have a focused consultation with them prior to finalizing the itinerary to really understand what to expect.

Accommodating
During our stay in Kenya we had a great visit to Crescent Island and Hell’s Gate, booked with Jae Travels. Tour guide Antony was punctual, very knowledgable and accommodating. The boat ride to the Island was a surprising highlight because of the operator who guided us to the island. He really made the 25 min trek enjoyable, relaxing. We were assisted by a guide once at the island to assure our safety and being that close to zebras, giraffes, antelopes, ostriches, pelicans, monkeys etc was just an amazing experience. The island landscape was breath taking. We also enjoyed a great lunch at Carnelley’s. The guide, the vehicle, the boat ride, the Island, the food all 4 star!

Must do experience
We did a 3 night 4 day safari which was perfect length and managed to see the big 5.
Everything was well organised, our safari guide Lameck was amazing and very knowledgable.
All the accommodations we stayed at were good and overall we had a great time.
I would definitly reccommend booking a safari with best price tours.

friendly and supportive
I booked a safari with them, and they were really warm and helpful while guiding me during my trip planning. Although the safari itinerary changed a bit at the end and communication could have been better during the safari, they stayed supportive and friendly in finding solutions.

Dickson is an excellent guide
Overall the experience of the safari was great . your guide will be the make or break of your trip and Dickson made sure that he covers all the big 5s and other interesting aspects of the Masai Mara .
After the safari of 3-4 days , we as a group ended up gaining so much information about the wild life at Masai Mara
