Amazing adventure
Thank you Daniel and Peter (our guide/ driver for 2 weeks). Daniel set up our safari including everything we wanted to see and do expertly. Peter took such good care of us the entire time we were there we never had to worry about a thing. And the animals!!!! From the lions lounging in the shade to the adult female lion protecting their kill for the pride. The cheetahs, hippos,giraffes we saw them and not just saw them but were able to observe their behavior from up close. I can't think of enough adjectives to tell you what an extraordinary experience it was. Anyone that enjoys seeing animals should do this at least once in their lifetime. I plan on going back in a few years. Thank you Daniel and Peter.

Incredible trip, highly recommended!
I did a 7 day trip including chimps at Kibale Forest, Queen Elizabeth National Park, the gorillas at Bwindi impenetrable forest and Lake Bunyonyi. It was everything I expected and more. I loved all of the locations on the tour and the accommodation and food were all very good. The food at Kibale Forest Camp was especially good!
Tom was a great guide, he looked after me well and taught me lots about the animals and the people of Uganda. I got to see all the animals I wanted to see, Tom found some lions in Queen Elizabeth National Park and he found me some zebras on the outskirts of lake Nburu on the way back to Entebbe which was a nice bonus.
Hajarah was also a please to deal with leading up to the safari, she answered all my questions very quickly.
I would definitely book with Simba again!

outstanding personal service that put all of us at ease
On July 2017 i and a couple of friends just wanted to experience what a safari is like during the public holidays. Since this was going to be our first safari my friends who have opted to join me in Maun asked at the lodge where they were staying if they could recommend someone who could take us on a 1 night safari. The lady at the reception contacted Moonstroll on our behalf and within a few minutes Namz from Moonstroll came to see us. We asked a few questions and Namz answered all of these honestly and also assured us that as long as we followed exactly what the guide says in relation to safety measures, everything should be fine. We finally reached an agreement on the amount that each one of us should pay for a fully serviced 1 night trip. Our guide was well organized and exuded a wealth of knowledge. He was also the friendliest person who was willing to accommodate all of our interests. The chef, oh my god! , produced some amazing dishes during our stay in Khwai. Interestingly these dishes were prepared on an open fire. All in all everyone in our short-lived trip was quite amazing and we thank all of them for giving us this unique opportunity to experience the other side of Africa that we in Africa normally take for granted.

Faith and Math Two reliable and helpful people who, like me as a photographer, have had them as a partner, allowed me to grasp aspects of this otherwise unfamiliar land. Two guys to rely on

Great Safari Experience in Amboseli
Before visiting Amboseli, we thought African is all about desert only. Well, this perception proved to be wrong when we landed at Amboseli. Mt Kilimanjaro is an amazing mountain rising from the soils of Tanzania. Because of our tour manager Willliam, we were able to experience the most incredible sight seeing of many wild animals. Honestly, you can never have such amazing scene anywhere in the world!

Efficient, Personal and All when according to plan
We very much enjoyed working with Laurette at Pembury Tours. She was very responsive to our emails, accurate and efficient with all the bookings. We did not have any issues during our tour. We highly recommend her services.

Impressed by their capability to design high quality offer for last minute bookings
I had a business trip to Uganda and decided to book a safari approximately two weeks before I went. Matoke was one of the operators I contacted and although some other operators left me with a good impression during the first contact, Matoke definitely stood out. They were very reactive and were able to put together a tailor made trip based upon my requirements. This is pretty amazing taking into account that most people book their safari many months ahead. An additional difficulty for them was that there were only a few gorilla and chimpanzee permits left on specific dates, and they had to build the itinerary around it. The chosen sites for accommodation were really nice, many with good views on the Nile, valleys, etc. and with good food. The driver John was very knowledgeable about the country and the wildlife. Thanks to his subtle observations I managed to photograph a leopard who was hiding in a tree! This is normally quite difficult during daytime. Communication with Wim (the owner I believe?) and several collaborators such as Ilse and Precious went very smooth. To resume, Matoke really went the extra mile. Finding a driver, accommodation, permits, etc. and designing a tailored made package on such short notice is very challenging but their extra efforts paid of!

Trip of a Lifetime!
We just finished our African Adventure organized with the amazing help of Vanessa from Spirit of Kenya (It Started in Africa originally). There were a few last minute changes to our accommodations (due to the rebranding of the Company) but we were more than happy with all of the changes. All of the lodges/camps we stayed at were exceptional and although we chose all the camps in Level A (Mid Range), they were all 5 stars to us. Because we were travelling to Tanzania as part of our tour, we had to change drivers and vehicles at the border. This was all well organized and we didn't have to worry about a thing. We had John as our guide for the Masai Mara and he was awesome. He was quiet but he made sure we got the best view of the animals. His driving skills were also incredible as the roads in Kenya are not easy to drive on. For the last leg of our adventure in Amboseli we had Steven for our guide. He was also very knowledgeable and we always felt safe with him at the wheel. Overall it was a trip of a lifetime and we were very happy we chose Spirit of Kenya to organize it for us.

Best holiday experience
I could not be happier with the service provided by Kenya Walking Survivor Safaris.
This was our first trip to Africa and I was wanting to do this trip to the Masai Mara and the Serengeti for many years.
Every little detail was taken care of by Mr Otieno from the start right up to the end.
It was a terrific experience and I would have no problem recommending Kenya Walking Survivor Safaris to anyone planning a trip to Kenya.
Each of the guides ( Paul and Joel ) were highly professional and went out of their way to ensure that we experienced everything that we could wish for.
I really hope we can go back again soon
