Absolutely fantastic, safe, trustable and recommended! My dream came true!
I worried a lot before my Kenyan trip travelling alone as woman from Europe to Africa. I had been searching, reading reviews and forums for weeks. My dream was always to go Kenya to see the fantastic wildlife from my childhood. Finally I had my budget and I decided to travel. I read so many fantastic reviews about KWSS and they offered me a very good affordable price for 12 days safari in Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha-Nakuru-Baringo-Bogoria and Maasai Mara parks.
Mr. Otieno replied me always immediately (I had so many concerns and questions, we had about 100 emails) and when I finally met with him he was so friendly, kind and smiley and so trustable (next time I won't use paypal, I had some problems with it, the online payment link was quick, trustable and safe)
As a semi professional photographer the locations, good car and good guides were important for me to see the animals as close as it was possibe. The guides and taken pictures were absolutely above my expectations! I could see the Big Five and almost all the common animals in the parks.
My guides James and Evans were professional drivers with big knowledge (so many thanks for them!) and I could feel myself everywhere in perfect safe. They could spot hidden animals and they showed me as many animals as they could in the 12 days but not in hurry. We had time every day for watching or just beeing in the car in middle of Kenya in a park with the wild animals or just relaxing.
Accomodations were also more than I expected! I can't pick 1 or 2 favorites because all of them had its own special highlight, with comfortable rooms and delicious meals. In Voi Wildlife and Ngulia lodge (Tsavo) I could have my meals next to drinking, playing elephants, antilops, monkeys, birds or buffalos. In Amboseli the Kibo Safari Camp was so authentic with friendly staff and real adventurous atmosphere and with the best and cheapest souvenir shop. At Lake Naivasha in Elsamere beautiful birds and colobus monkey were all around, Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge had a breathtaking view. Soi Safari Lodge (Lake Baringo) was so relaxing and finally Sekenani Camp in Maasai Mara with homely, friendly tents and lions' grumple was like a real wild adventure.
If you choice KWSS you will get an absolutely wonderful lifetime experience, a memorable great holiday in wonderful places with so lovely people and staff and fabolous wildlife! I will choice them next time hopefully in the next year! Now all my friends are saying : ooo I would like to go with you next time :)
Don't hesitate it's unnecessary. Just book, get the needed vaccinations and malaria pills, go and enjoy!

Once in a lifetime adventure
Our experience with Lion King was perfect. Anna was great and helped us to organize a trip specified to our wants. We enjoyed every aspect of the safari and felt taken care of every step of the way. The lodges and tented camps (more like glamping than actually camping!) that Anna picked for us were everything she promised.
Our guide and driver, James, went above and beyond for us, truly making the trip.
Our only regret is that we did not stay longer!

Perfect Kenya Safari
We had a lovely time in Kenya! We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli during a 6 day safari.
A ballon flight was also part of the program, and this we can highly recommend.
But, our driver/guide Alex made this experience unforgettable and one of our loveliest memories! A big, big thank to Alex!

Holiday of a lifetime
I spent a considerable amount of time researching our Africa holiday only to find that I felt confused by all the information on the internet. Then I spoke with Encompass Africa! From the moment I emailed and then chatted with Jono on the phone I knew we were going to be well looked after. We are a well travelled family however planning a trip to Africa was a different experience for us and Jono made it all seem so easy. He was wonderful with our kids and he gave them great information to manage their knowledge and expectations about being on safari. We had the most amazing holiday because Encompass Africa listened to us and they understood what we wanted from our holiday. When we were in Africa everything went smoothly and the contacts Encompass Africa have on the ground are so professional and most importantly so warm and friendly. Our holiday was the most wonderful experience for our family. We had the most amazing guide (we miss him!), the accommodation was fantastic and as we expected, the food amazing and plentiful, and the wildlife was incredible because Encompass Africa knew where we needed to be at the time of year we were travelling to see the wildlife. I would definitely book another holiday with Encompass Africa and recommend them highly.

Amazing!. Reception,timing attention to detail was more than we could expect. A wonderful experience
The communication waz great with so much attention to detail. The service is compared to none. I've been to other destinations with different agents but this was by far the best. You deserve 5 stars. Frankly my expectations were average but the guys at Tropical were amazing and exceeded my expectations. The safari was great,you guys have an amazingly beautiful country . Such a shame it's not very well marketed. Please get somebody to fix a few roads and traffic

very reliable with good travel info and quick reponses to our queries
Tammy Harding was our travel consultant from Pembury Tours. She provided great advice about the travel options we could explore and was responsive to both the timing and cost of these proposed options.
She got back to us without fail within 1-2 days of receiving every one of our e-mails.
The accommodation booked at Victoria Falls, Hazyview, and Sabi Sands suited our needs and our budget and made our trip all that more memorable.

Awesome experience!
I booked a 4 day safari with Sunny Safaris for a group of 6 people and we absolutly loved it. They were extremely communicative in our emails, cleared up all our questions and explained how everything worked with very fast replies. We were picked up at the airport and left right away for the agency to pay the rest of the safari. There we were welcomed by the employees, briefed on how the whole plan was set and how things would go. Everyday we got a lunch box with plenty of food for the whole day, the lodges we stayed at were amazing and our guide (named Hassan) was super awesome and nice. So I highly reccomend this agency for an amazing safari experience!!
