The best and most caring tour operator I have ever traveled with - highly recommend!
My friend and I had a fantastic safari experience, first and foremost thanks to our excellent tour operator, Fiona. We saw the big five and had a great overall experience. Fiona gave us a short onboarding before we even arrived in Kenya, with the most essential preparations and information, which made us prepare well for the trip. When there were some issues with our driver, Fiona handled them instantly. She was always available and checked in regularly to ensure we were okay. Fiona is not only very professional, she genuinely cares about the experiences of her customers. She impressively founded the office by herself and does an amazing job.

Trip of a Lifetime
From the time we arrived until we were left at the airport, we were treated like royalty.
Our guides, Diger (in Nairobi), John Leng (Samburu) and Symo and Mario (Maasi Mara) were excellent and always on the lookout for how to make our trip special.
When DIger took us to the Elephant Sanctuary, he made sure that we had a great place to view the presentation, then took us to a wonderful restaurant for lunch and made sure we had plenty of time at the Kuzuri bead factory.
John met us at the Samburu airport and by the time we made it to Ashnil, we had already seen 4 of the special five, watched 2 jackals eating their kill while shooing off the vultures and had learned the names of several birds.
We checked in to Ashnil, ate some lunch and went out for a late afternoon ride where we saw a leopard and tracked it for awhile. Our waiter, Elvis was very friendly and helpful and when we decided to have dinner in our tents due to bugs, he very graciously brought our meals to our rooms.
During the night, we had a LOT of rain and we knew that the river was raging, but we went on the morning ride even though it was raining. The rain did not deter the animals and we were soon met with a giraffe standing in the middle of the road just waiting for us. After that we saw three families of elephants and lots of other animals. We had breakfast in the land cruiser as it was still raining.
Upon arriving back at the camp, we were told to pack up and were moved up to Sonara, a sister camp. The operative word being up, which was away from the river. Their staff greeted us warmly and quickly settled us into rooms. After lunch, we went on an afternoon ride and then had a wonderful dinner.
Breakfast the next morning and then we were off for a leisurely ride to the airport. Upon arriving later than expected in Maasi, we were met by Symo and Mario and taken to the Bush Camp where the staff quickly put together a nice lunch for us as they realized we had not eaten since breakfast. Then, out for an afternoon ride.
I cannot say enough great things about the staff at the Bush Camp. Joseph, the manager, left after our first day to go for a home visit and Mercy, Nelson and another woman stepped in and made sure that our every need was met. Donald welcomed us to all our meals and explained everything we needed to know about the food and the Professor was a great bartender. These two men made our dinners fun. And, what can I say about the food - as good as any I have had in a 5-star restaurant. I have told people it was like eating on a Viking cruise (which I consider to be the highest of compliments.) The food selections were varied and imaginative as well as delicious.
We had breakfast on our drives each morning except for the last morning when we opted not to go for a drive and to have breakfast at the samp. When I came down for breakfast, I could not find where they had set it up. And, then I saw a staff member that sent me over to the bar tent. There, I found that they had set up breakfast for the three of us right next to the river. A lot of trouble for three people, but what a treat!
We saw all the animals of the Maasi except the rhino. My friends at home could not believe all the animals that we saw. We saw several prides of lions, as well as 2 leopards and 2 cheetahs - one with small cubs, giraffes, elephants, gazelle, topi, oryx, impala, ostriches (with babies), monkeys, baboons, hippos, zebras, jackals and lots of birds.
I cannot say enough good things about the staff at Mara Bush Camp and all the guides. And, the guards who walked us back and forth from the tents were definitely appreciated and Doris met me every morning with hot chocolate. The staff was definitely the icing on the cake for the trip.
And the accommodations could not have been better! Gives a new meaning to tenting. 🙂
I have already given your information to several people and are recommending your company as the way to see Kenya.
And, I would be remiss if I did not mention the guide that we had on our last day in Nairobi. He met us at the airport, took us for lunch and some shopping and then, we told him that we would be happy to just go to the airport and stay there until time to leave. He left us at the airport at 4:00 and told us to let him know when we had our boarding passes. When we got over to the terminal, they would not let us in so we called the guide. He came back for us as he had not left the grounds and then took us to a hotel where he used his connections to get us up to the roof bar where we could rest until we could go back to the airport. Again, he did not leave the airport grounds until we called and told him we had our boarding passes.
From door to door, your company took care of us - through all sorts of weather.
Thanks so much for a trip of a lifetime!

I cannot express enough how grateful and pleased I am with my travel partner, Royal Star Expeditions
I cannot express enough how grateful and pleased I am with my travel partner, Royal Star Expeditions. They have been my go-to plug for every travel plan I've had, from airline reservations to hotel bookings.
One thing that sets Royal Star Expeditions apart from the rest is their incredible customer service. Winnie Mbesa, in particular, always goes above and beyond to make my travel experiences seamless and enjoyable. I can always count on her to pick me up from the airport, regardless of how late my flights arrive. I remember one time arriving in Nairobi at the unfathomable hour of 1.25 am, and Winnie was there waiting for me and my family with a warm smile. Her dedication and willingness to make sure her clients are taken care of is truly commendable.
One of the highlights of my travels with Royal Star Expeditions was the safari to Nairobi National Park. Winnie took my family and me on this unforgettable adventure, and my children were overjoyed to see lions for the first time in their lives. The experience was simply magical, and Winnie's knowledge and expertise in guiding us through the park added an extra layer of excitement to our journey. The memories we made during that safari will be cherished forever.
In addition to their exceptional service and attention to detail, Royal Star Expeditions also has a knack for finding the best deals and offers for their clients. They ensure that I not only have a comfortable travel experience but also get the most value for my money.
Overall, I highly recommend Royal Star Expeditions as a travel partner. Their commitment to making every trip memorable and their willingness to go the extra mile, exemplified by individuals like Winnie Mbesa, truly sets them apart in the industry. Whether you're looking for assistance with airline reservations, hotel bookings, or an unforgettable safari experience, Royal Star Expeditions is the perfect choice.

10/10 Would Book Again!!!
I have traveled to a lot of places with many tour guides but none as good as Innocente with Safari Soles! Innocente had eyes like a hawk when finding the wildlife and a spectacular scenes of their movements before they happened getting us in position for some amazing experiences! Match that with his unparalleled personality and it makes for a really memorable time!

Great experience with Bosky for the Safari and Maasai Village tour and Nairobi tour as well
Bosky Adventures & Safaris services are great. David is very friendly and patiently explains all the tour details. Hotels chosen were good and drivers in the city and in the safari were also good. Me and my family (including teenagers) loved the 3 days Safari but the best experience ever was the visit to the Maasai village. The Nairobi tour (1 day) was also very good. It included a visit to Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Center. Bosky has different packages. You choose what's best for you.

Wow! Beyond expectations
The ease of booking, the pickup at our Hotel to the arrival at the first Camp, it was seamless and professional. We weren't there very long when an elephant wandered through the carpark! The Safari's were full of interest with knowledgeable drivers and really lived up to our excitement. The Camp accommodation bettered our imagined standard. The day in Kruger proved to us that it really wasn't long enough, but with our limited timeframe, we knew this was going to be the case. What an exciting time. Our 'Tree-Lodge' experience was as described in the brochure, but didn't describe the Leopard sleeping under a Lodge being woken up and growling because the guest snored loudly all night! You couldn't script a scenario like that! Our time soon came to an end with a promise to ourselves that we need to come back and allow much longer in this great area. The Safari exceeded our perception of what we were expecting and the Staff were very interesting to chat with. A real 5-star experience, recommended.

Stunning experience for all of humanity
Tanzania wisely protected their lands knowing they were treasures on Earth. The sights are unforgettable. The people all very kind and hospitable. The journey of a 5-day safari allowed us to take the magnificent countryside in several different locations; Tarangire, Lake Manyara and Serengeti National Parks along with the Ngorongoro Crater Conservation area. Each was stunning! The wildlife was profound and impressive. Despite any apprehension you might have, find a way to see these places and bless your life. Jambo.

Beautiful wildlife in an amazing environment
We loved doing the Safari tour, everything was arranged so good so you didn’t have to think about anything. It was nice to do the early tours so you had the late afternoon and evening off. The Amboseli national park was very big with a lot of different views, as in there were some dry parts, but also a small lake with flamingo’s and more green parts with high grass. The variety of small birds and the big animals was nice.

Amazing place with kind people
Masai Mara is magnificent place, where you can feel atmosphere like nowhere else. Masai people are hospitable with philosophy of life as example to the world. Ukunda and Diani beach is paradise of the world, one of the most beautiful place I have ever seen. All the Kenyans are kind and friendly people, tourists are always privileged. Nairobi is interesting contrasting city. Kenya is safe destination for tourists. Last but not least, Morningstar safari tours in the best tour company in Kenya!
