Best ever trip I ever had in my life so far.
I had planned my trip for Masaimara, Nakuru and Naivasha for my Kenya trip. As I was traveling solo I had a lot of doubt and questions about the safety and so many other things, but from the day 1 I got msg from "Tabitha" from Papio Africa Holidays to day when I reached to meeting point in Kenya to start the safari journey, she has clarified each and every thing so nicely and made it so easy. They have also arranged the pick up from the airport and the person was right there at given timing. And about the tour, we were so lucky to have Antony as our guide, he was amazing driver, even though other were struggling in a rough road, he was just driving confidently without having any issues. He was even so good that he was taking us very close to the animal to get us good picture. After all these also he was so selfless. The only cons in the trip were I have been promised to get 2 sharing tent at masai Mara camp but got 4 sharing as it was peak season and it was still manageable. But the food served in Nakuru was not at all good, they should look into it. Apart from these everything were awesome. If you are looking for a adventurous trip and love for nature, u should definitely visit Kenya once in your lifetime. It's worth going. Book through this agency and try to get Antony as ur guide for an amazing experience. Thanks Tabitha, Antony and Papio Africa tour for giving a amazing experience. All the best in future.

Magical experience
I was lucky enough to be part of the Namib desert ride with Richard Dunwoody this May and the experience exceeded my expectations in every way. Never have horses been cared for so well or guests given such a wonderful experience. The terrain and the riding were highlights but then so were the team, food, care, fellow guests. We all had the trip of a lifetime.

Fantastic 4 days private safari tour
We were a group of six people and Spirit of Kenya arranged us a private safari tour.
The communication with them was very easy from the first day, the payment procedure was smooth.
Our tour guide, Joshua, was a very knowledgeable person and he loves his job! We learnt a lot from him. He was as excited as us to see more animals and to find some action. He always went the extra mile to show us sth different and thought us some Swahili language on the way. He knows Maasai Mara region very well, he knows where to find which animal etc. He also helped us a lot to find our missing luggage.
We upgraded the safari vehicle from van to 4x4. The vehicle that Spirit of Kenya provided was very clean, in a good condition and had a cooler. It was a very comfortable drive even though the roads are not in a good condition in some parts.
We stayed in the accommodations that Spirit of Kenya gave as an option and we absolutely loved them.
Thanks a lot Vanessa, Joshua and all Spirit of Kenya team for your efforts. We would love to travel with you again!

Take me back
Freddy is an absolute superstar! It became a standing joke that he has a WhatsApp group where he could reach all the different animals, because they always seemed to be where we were and where we wanted them to be.
From beginning to end, Freddy made us feel safe and taken care of. The preparation work was both helpful and informative, and the safari itself was like a fairytale I'll never forget. I would recommend everyone to do like we did: combine lodging with camping! We had an elephant walking into our camp, I almost walked into a zebra when heading to the bathroom in the middle of the night. It was wonderful, but I also appreciated the opportunity of a hot shower and a soft bed.
Pius, the chef who travelled with us, made me roll into bed at night and look forward to getting up for breakfast in the morning, and took excellent care of my lunch hunger.
I will be forever grateful to Freddy for providing us with this experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend iTravel Safari & Expeditions. Thank you.

Polite staff and great value
Communications were initially very good and provided an excellent break down of a proposed itinerary. Subsequent communications were not so good and took some time for a response.
The service was great. We got picked up from Nairobi and then driven out to Maasia Mara in a mini-van. We had the van to ourselves and our driver was very polite and knowledgeable. The tented camp that we stayed in was perfect for our needs.
The tour itself was great too. Our driver was polite and knowledgeable and made the trip far better.
In all, a fantastic experience and one that my family will remember for years.

Exceptional driver, navigator & staff!
The jocky tours guys were incredible! They took great care of us all the way, went out of the way to navigate and spot some rare sites in Masai Mara. We saw 17 lions! Giraffe necking! A leopard lioness fight! A live cheetah hunt! Wow!!
The stay at Lenchada camp was super cozy, and it was an experience talking with the local Masai guards. The English communication skills of everyone are so good! Special shout out to Albert & Richard, our guides for the game drive!!

Amazing 14 Days in Uganda and Kenya
Thanks to Home To Africa, we had an unbelievable trip through Uganda and Kenya. They were so easy to work with from the very beginning. They answered all our questions, offered great suggestions, and helped to completely customize our trip.
Once we arrived in Africa, they continued to provide amazing service - making everything incredibly easy. Their guides helped us see everything we hoped for and more: hundreds of animals, amazing sunsets, beautiful scenery, amazing people. It was the trip of a lifetime.
Our guide through Uganda deserves an extra review himself. Karim was an amazing host and guide. He made us feel at home and helped us see so much of the beauty and love that Uganda has to offer. Thank you so much Karim!!
Uganda and Kenya are both amazing places. We saw the big 5 on our first day, in and near Murchison Falls NP. Chimp trekking in Kibale and Gorilla trekking in Bwindi were unbelievable. Lake Bunyonyi is a beauftiful place to relax after it all. In Kenya, highlights included views of Mt. Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, animals in Tsavo West, and relaxation on Diani Beach.
Go to East Africa, it's wonderful. When you do, use Home To Africa - you won't regret it.
