Family experience of a lifetime!
Thankyou to Daniel Francis and the Transtrek Safaris team, we had a fantastic time and have memories for life. Daniel organised a 10 day safari around our wishes to visit Samburu NR, Lake Nakuru NP, Lake Naivasha and the Masai Mara and his knowledge, advice and communication were exceptional. We were very fortunate to have Tony as our guide and his knowledge of the flora and fauna was outstanding. Tony was great at ensuring our 10 and 12 year old daughters were always engaged and they loved his friendly and fun personality. Daniel gave us the option of visiting the Naboisho Conservancy on the edge of the Masai Mara, where the Masai are the landowners and are very involved in the running of the Wildlife Conservancy and see and reap the benefits of the conservation of wildlife. The Wilderness Camp in Naboisho is run by Masai, and it is a very special experience. We did a full day trip into the Masai Mara and saw an incredible array of game including a cheetah kill and leopard up close, but we also had fantastic game viewing in Samburu and Naboisho to match the Mara. The accommodation Daniel recommended and organised was exceptional, especially Intrepids Camp in Samburu and the Wilderness Camp in Naboisho Conservancy.
Thanks again to Daniel, Tony and the Transtrek team, great work!

SIMPLY INCREDIBLE!
First of all, me and my friends would like to express our sincere appreciation to you for all the organization of our wonderful safari in Kenya. We had requested Daniel to give us an Itinerary covering as many national parks as possible and we worked together to plan a completely personal and individually tailored itinerary that without a doubt was one of the best safari experience we have ever had. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the 4 lodges and tented camps we spent the nights in. The parks and reserves were wonderful with varied animal species. We saw ALL kinds of animals from the big five at a close distance though leopard and rhino were quite difficult to see we got luck and did manage to see them. Others include crocodiles, hippos, lizards, jackals,hyrax... and some of this animals would even freely wonder around our camps… .quite scary!! but this was also part of what made this trip mind blowing. Our guide, John, out won all the other guides we have ever had on any trip. He was very pleasant, always accommodating to our needs and was very patient giving us enough time for picture-taking. Besides, he was extremely knowledgeable with a terrific sense of humor. His knowledge of the animals, birds, landscape and geography was really impressive and certainly added to our trip.
Having made our trip so wonderful I highly recommend this company. Absolutely No regrets!!

very good experience for a camping based 4 day safary
the 4 day safari (lake Nakuru and Masaai Mara) was very well organised. the camp and the hotel were clean and organised. Special mention to James, the driver, who has been excellent: he drove all the way safely but at the same time he always tried to get us a good spot to see the animals and was well connected so that we could arrive first where the animals were. He gave us information not only on animals but also on vegetation, so thumbs up!

Easy and friendly cancelation due to car problems
We have booked a safari when we ended up having troubles with our car. We forgot to tell the office so they contacted us since they were waiting at the pick up location to get us. The service was very friendly and easy, we could cancel the trip with no problems. Thank you very much!

Good relationship with price and service
It went really well as both the guide and cook were nice. However, the only complaint is that for our stay in Nakuru we ended up staying at another hotel which was not planned. The hotel where we stayed was old, dirty and not what we expected. I would recommend that the safari tour informs people before about this change because it came as a surprise . I think paying 100 usd per person for one night in this hotel was too expensive.

Kingtomondo - absolutely recommendable!
We booked a 3 day safari from Nairobi to the coast. We went from Nairobi to the Amboseli and the Tsavo West National Park and finally ended up at the coast in Diani Beach.
Organization: The organization in advance was very good. Lisa quickly answered our questions via e-mail and the payment was quite easy because the offered to pay by bank transfer to a German account. Everything worked out very well.
Accommodation: Our accommodations were very nice and well located. The Sentrim Amboseli Lodge was right in front of the National Park and has a pool area to relax. The Rhino Valley Lodge is located in the middle of the Tsavo West national park on a mountain from which you have a great view. If you're lucky, you can spot some animals on the waterhole in front of the lodge.
Guide: Bashir was just awesome - very friendly and funny. He can tell a lot about the animals and national parks as well as the country and people in Kenya. He responded to our requests and always tried to fulfill them. In addition we liked that he is very considerate of the animals. Although we always kept a certain distance, we were still able to take great pictures.
Safari: We saw many animals on the tour - elephants, hippos, buffalos, zebras, wildbests, giraffes, antelopes, monkeys, hyenas, birds and even a rhino, leopard and cheetah. It was especially great to watch the animals bathing in the Amboseli National Park. It was a wonderfull tour with many nice impressions.
The safari with King Tomondo was a great experience and we had a great time!
Thank you so much!
Asante Sana!

Amazing Safari with Great service
A thank you note for Franck(Our Travel Organiser) for putting together such a wonderful trip. Okoa Africa tours provided us everything that was promised and more - in fact, I fell in love with this place and its gentle old world charm. The weather was spectacular, lovely accomodation and gracious people. Our time in Kenya will be forever etched in our memory and we will continue to (and have been) singing its praises since our return. Franck- Once again, thank you so much for such an amazing trip n a mind-blowing hospitality. Much appreciated

I had a dream realized by them
I found this agency on internet and I asked for a quotation about Safari in Masai Mara Reserve.
Immediately Lydia contacted me and she was so patient and professional to organize this experience for me and my family. During the three days safari, Richard was our super driver and special guide. Very kind to all of us, and prepared on his job.
We met all the animals!!
He was so ready to reach their position!
So we enjoyed so much our Safari.
