Superb from start to end
I would award more than 5 stars if that was possible! Go Kenya were superb in every respect in arranging my 10 day safari in Kenya during the 2022 Christmas holidays. Everything was first class, every step of the way. Highly recommended.

An amazing experience that didn't require us to lift a finger!
If you are planning a trip to Africa, Go Kenya Tours and Safaris is definitely the company to go with. We spent 10 days across Kenya and Rwanda for our honeymoon and absolutely loved the whole experience. From the minute we landed in Nairobi right up until our departure from Kigali, we were looked after by this amazing team. They did everything you would expect from a travel agent and more! Their lodge recommendations were absolutely amazing. To provide context, in a trip that also included the Maldives and Dubai, Africa still stood out (glamping at its absolute best)!
Also, I must point out that whilst Africa is definitely an expensive place to travel, Go Kenya Tours and Safaris were definitely the most reasonably priced and were willing to work with our budget (rather than simply recommend a bunch of lodges that they were affiliated with - which is what many of the other tour companies do).
Overall, our experience was one that will live with us forever and we do have to thank Claire, Bush Pilot and the team at Go Kenya Tours and Safaris - we will definitely be back!

These guys are awesome, from the early planning to the goodbye at the end!
We went on safari with Green Tours in December 2022, and also used them to plan our trip to Zanzibar. They are outstanding! We started working out an itinerary in early summer and went through several versions before landing on the adventure that was perfect for us. And it was!
Johnny, the person in charge, is great. He's very responsive and always accommodating. He shared his cell number and was available all the time. He also really cares that his clients are well cared for and enjoying themselves. Indeed, he called or texted every day to ask how things were going and what exciting things we did. He was VERY attentive!
Our guide for the safari, Livingston, became beloved by our family (we spent almost a full week together). He is very professional but fun. He is extremely knowledgeable about animal behavior and the environment. He worked very hard to ensure a memorable experience, was always flexible and often made changes "on the fly" if he thought a better plan was possible. Perhaps most importantly, he seems to really love his job. There were a couple times where, when we saw something special, he was just as excited as us!
There are lots of options out there for safari in Tanzania. I can't speak about the others, but I feel confident that anyone who chooses Green Tours will be very happy.

James was kind & very knowledgable and we felt very comfortable traveling with him.Definitely A+ exp
We had the most remarkable family tour with james ( marurumi safaris). Not only everything was perfect, but we felt, in every instance, that our guide cared about us, both the kids and adults, and did his best to make this trip memorable.
For our well-traveled children (age 2-9) and adults this definitely has become the most eye-opening, adventurous, and stunning journey of our lifes - something we will remember, draw upon, and cherish for many years to come. James was amazing from airport pick up to drop off .
We definitely will be back!

Customer focused!
My family had a fantastic experience on our safari. We were mostly concerned with ensuring we had a tour
Operator that was trustworthy and reliable, and Pamela ended up exceed our expectations in so many ways. Our drivers were knowledgeable and fun, we built a strong bond with them (to the point that my son still talks about our driver!). Pamela went above and beyond to make sure we enjoyed ourselves, and gave us parting gifts so we would never forget our time in Kenya. She is trustworthy and invested in your vacation, making sure it is memorable. I would use her again if I went back to Kenya.

Very helpful, responsive and made my travel planning!
Megan Warrington from Discover Africa was awesome. I actually used two different operators for safaris (Megan for South Africa and another for Botswana) and she was a lot more timely, helpful and organized. Also, Megan can handle your bookings in Botswana as well so in hindsight, I should have used her for all my travels!

Thank you for making our trip unforgettable
Communication with Jong is excellent. He helped us design a perfect custom safari according to our interests (Thanks Jong!). The trip consisted of a tour of the city of Nairobi with Richard, a very kind and patient guide. He took us to the Giraffe center and to eat delicious local food (Thank you Richard for all your attention!). Later 6 days of Safari through Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara with our guide Francis, who is a very experienced, patient and pleasant guide. Francis was concerned at all times that we were enjoying and doing interesting activities, which made the difference to us on the trip because we saw from lionesses hunting to hippo fights with crocodiles. Francis consented to practically all our desires to meet animals, people, places, artistic photos and shops to buy handicrafts (Francis, we miss you. Thank you very much for everything. We are waiting for you in Mexico!). During the safari we visited a Masai village (and even played soccer with them) and took a walk through the Masai Mara with some members of the Masai tribe who take care of the camp (Loyk Mara Camp). This ride turned out to be one of the most exciting moments of the entire trip. We totally recommend Sino Safaris, satisfaction guarantee!
Our recommendations based on our experience:
- Take a lot of change for tips (i.e. 5 USD bills)
- Loyk Mara Camp is highly recommended because you are practically inside the Masai Mara and the attention is unbeatable
- We know that there are many other parks to visit, but the journeys between parks and parks are long (6-7 hours by car). We decided not to spend so much time in the car and sacrifice other places to enjoy more.
- Stopping at Lake Naivasha is well worth it. More if it is at the beginning of the route. If you come back, it may not be so interesting anymore because you will have already seen many animals. This is the only place where we were able to boat with hippos, watch osprey hunt and go on safari on foot (because there are no predators).
- Visit a Masai village
- Try Tusker beer ;-)
