A perfect trip to Maasai Mara, Kenya
Overall rating
5/5

Maasai Mara was a must for our first visit to Kenya and we wanted to experience both the national park and the Maasai living there, if possible. Not merely as spectators but as part of the daily life. We were looking all over for a tour company or guide that could help us to that experience and finally found what become the perfect match for us in Mpario (John) and Corinna at Namayiana Safaris. A more devoted and friendly couple would be hard to find elsewhere and their sense for our, sometimes not so clearly articulated, wishes was outstanding. They arranged everything we asked for, from picking us up at the airport in Nairobi, lodging and allowing us to get to know Nairobi, lodging at the camp in Maasai Mara, game drives, introduction to the Maasai and the Maasai culture (John being a Maasai warrior himself), a most pleasant night in the Maasai village and even a hike to the mountain above the village, including an insight in Maasai medical plants. In Maasai Mara we were provided exactly the kind of tented camp we wished for, the Fisi Camp. We made visits to the park three days in a row, at evening, mid-day and morning. Johns driving skills on the sometimes quite challenging dirt roads and even more skills to be where the animals appear gave us fantastic opportunities to be close to many lions, elephants, fighting hippopotami and many more animals in various surroundings and situations.

When their spare driver, Jimmy, four nights later dropped us at our friends place in Kakamega, also a part of the agreed arrangements, we had a camera full of astonishing photos and our hearts full of Kenya and several new friends, not only John and Corinna. We now recommend all our friends to visit Kenya and to ask Namayiana Safaris to be their guide we and long for the next time in Kenya.

I booked my safari trip with PaperJet Travel and they were super professional. Justin helped me a lot planning my stay and everything worked perfectly. The lodge (&Beyond Kirkman's Kamp) was very comfortable, with the whole staff always trying to make you feel at home. The food, the game drives, the small surprises... absolutely nothing to complain.

Just did the Lemosha Route with a successful summit climb.Innocent and his crew were great, they were very knowledgeable and provided whatever assistance anyone needed. Chef Shabani kept us so well fed that the threatened loss of appetite at altitude never happened. Our porters amazed us daily with their strength and agility hauling their loads up and down the mountain. The Lemosha Route is gorgeous with beautiful and changing views of Kilimanjaro as you make your way up to Barafu Camp. After the long march down we did a 6 day Safari and again had a wonderful experience. Jonson our guide was very knowledgeable about the birds, animals and plants, we saw the "Big Five" and more! I highly recommend Kwesa Tours

4-days Safari at Lake Manyara, Serengeti and NgoroNgoro Conservational Area
5/5

Travelling with my 19-years old son we experienced a fantastic organisation by African traits from the moment of pick-up for Safari until the included drop-off at the airport when our jouney was over after 4 days. The Safari was exactly what we expected, we booked the trip with camping, the sites were clean and there was a nice atmosphere with other travellers and the accompanying staff, good and sufficient fresh food provided by our cook. Our driver George was not only an excellent driver, but very pleasant person to spent a lot of time with as well. On top he was able to explain a lot about wildlife and had incredible skills to spot the animals. Godfrey, the manager of the company is doing his work with true passion. Before and after the Safari he visited us in our hotel to make sure that everything was perfect and gave us the feeling that it was really important to him that we had a great time. This was indeed the case and we can absolutely recommend booking with African Traits.
Regarding the price this it was much better than any offer we got from agencies in Europe organizing such trips and we cannot imagine anything could have been done in a more professional way. A big Thank You to African Traits!

5/5

SkyWide exceeded my expectations. I simply needed an holiday that would allow me to unwind. Apart from this, they ensured that it would be a very memorable experience for all of us. They ensured that they have communicated the travel plan and all logistics in time and also kept in touch during the travels.
I will definitely continue using them as my travel agency.

excellent and the most thrilling experience
5/5

It was the best safari trip we enjoyed in our life. Hats off to Tony and his crew for the spectacular experience that they offered to us. Very friendly, highly informative and very safe. Offered us the best wild life sights though it was scary to see the lions very close, i even felt its breath. Really wish to have more trips with this crew.

Well Recommended!!!
5/5

We visited Kenya in February and our safari took us from Nairobi to Kericho for the Tea farms as am a tea lover and always wanted to see the farms then to Kakamega forest as my husband loves the birds and walking. We wanted a non tourist route to avoid congestion but we had to see Masai Mara and the wildlife and it was fantastic. Our guide was amazing with our teenage boys as they bonded very well. The safari was well organised by Zippy and her team and the level of service was beyond our expectation , we were really touched by the generosity and the effort that went to make our safari a success. Asante!!(Thank you)
