About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- F1353DYdianeh0 contributionsDefinitely do this tour!Had a brilliant day with our amazing guide James. Highly recommend this tour - James was professional, punctual, friendly & showed an excellent understanding of the park & it's beautiful animals. Would definitely do this tour again! Never expected to see so many animals in the one day - awesome. Thanks James.Written December 1, 2024
- avaj6570 contributionsAmazingIt was a great experience! Saw Rhinos, hippos, giraffes, crocs, zebras, Lions, Buffalos and many mammals. such a beautiful place.Written November 22, 2024
- HikerPair0 contributionsAvoid: Half trip was cancelled: no refund offered! Plus disorganised.This should have been a whole-day tour but in fact half was cancelled, blaming bad weather. No refund was offered. After making a fuss, the company said that it would refund the cost of entrance fees for the parts that were cancelled, which it said was $25. It actually only refunded ~$20 (and was ungracious about that). The first part here is probably illegal, and the second part is dishonest. The administration is also very disorganised: which is weird because they must do this all the time and we were a very standard customer on their standard tour. There must be many other companies who do tours of that National Park etc. I will choose a different one next time.Written November 21, 2024
- C66OWsarahh0 contributionsExceptional and affordable!From start to finish, this was an exceptional experience. James (also known as Onesmus) was communicative, punctual, and very helpful throughout. We started the day with pickup in the KT safari van, which was spacious and neat, and headed to Nairobi National Park. The game drive was excellent, and James provided us with lots of history and interesting information about the animals. His driving was amongst the best I have ever seen, and he got us very close to some of the big 5! Following this we went to the Elephant orphanage which was my personal highlight, and we had plenty of time to grab lunch before going to the Giraffe Centre. At the end of the day, we were dropped off home. I would highly recommend this tour, as it was thorough, enjoyable, and overall a great experience!Written November 20, 2024
- sonalir5730 contributionsMemorable experienceWatson was a great guide. He was knowledgeable about wildlife, was exactly on time for pickup, and seemed to know where to go to find the best viewings.Written November 16, 2024
- chrissola0 contributionsA lovely Safari and a great morning out!Myself and my husband were picked up on time (5:30am) at our hotel and joined other guests to make our group a total of 7 people. Watson our Safari guide was really great and was in constant communication with other Safari guides to make sure that we saw as many animals as possible. We ended up seeing 4/5 of the Big 5 and lots of other animals! Watson was really knowledgeable and provided some facts on the park and animals along the way. A massive thank you to Watson for his hospitality the entire day. Seeing the Sheldrick Elephants was a dream come true for me and a must if you decide to take this tour. After the elephants we decided to end our safari (our 4:30am wake up was catching up to us!), and we stopped somewhere for lunch on request of a family in our group. My husband and I didn’t fancy lunch and Watson organised a driver to take us back to our hotel. Overall I really enjoyed this safari, the only thing I would say is to get in touch with the tour operator to confirm your hotel is within their included pickup area, as I contacted them the day before with a different query and was told our hotel was not. This additional fee was waived for us though. A big thank you to Watson, we would definitely recommend this tour!Written November 8, 2024
- JonesyboyMidlands0 contributionsExcellent SafariWe booked the 3 days 2 nights Tsavo West National Park staying at Salt Lick Lodge early in October 24. The driver / guide Joseph, picked us up from our hotel in Mombasa on time and drove us to Tsavo West which was quite an interesting journey leaving the crazy roads of Mombasa to the very remote roads inland. We chose the Landcruiser option for a small amount more and it was well worth the extra. Joseph made our Safari as he was very knowledgeable about everything we saw and was very punctual and polite. He was with us for all 3 days and then delivered us back to Mombasa which was great. It was just about to start the rainy season so we watched many animals uninterrupted by the vegetation. The guides all talk to each other on the radios when travelling so you are almost guaranteed to find animals even if it does mean travelling a few miles. Having the facility to use both Salt Lick and Taita Hills hotels means you can relax and swim in the infinity pool if required. Food and drinks at both hotels was very good with a fantastic viewing area at Salt Lick with the rooms and main building overlooking a watering hole visited by numerous animals throughout the day including baby elephants who came so close to the bar area you could nearly touch them! The rooms do not have a TV because who wants to watch TV when there is so much to see from you bedroom window! Accommodation was fine and the overall trip was value for money. I would highly recommend Kenya Tours and Safaris especially if you can secure the services of Joseph. Thank you for all the memories.Written November 5, 2024

- artemsH4563RC0 contributionsNice afternoon safari: a lot of animals seen in the wild.What a great experience! Watson is a very good and positive guide, we made a stop for lunch at the beginning of the tour. We said we wanted to see a lion and Watson tried to find as many as possible for us, and as a result we met 11 lions and many ohers: rhinos, ostriches, deer, zebra, giraffes. Recommend.Written October 20, 2024
- R9471VXtiffanyn0 contributionsNairobi Morning Game DriveWatson was a great tour guide. He listened to the radio and took us to see the animals that were spotted. He was personable, knowledgeable, communicative, and on time. Our tour lasted longer than we expected.Written October 18, 2024
- liisamaijaa0 contributionsVariety of wildlife within easy distance from NairobiI was genuinely surprised by the variety and amount of animals so close to the capital! I can highly recommend taking this tour and leaving as early as 5:30 am. Early start meant empty roads and a quick access to the area, where we could see the sun rising and animals active. The driver took good care of the group, knew where to find the animals and took us even to see a lion and a pack of lionesses. We saw rhinos, buffaloes, giraffes, hippos, crocodiles, ostriches and lots of other animals. A must do for any nature lover visiting Kenya!Written October 12, 2024
- carolinepH576AF0 contributionsUntrustworthy and deceitfulDO NOT BOOK THIS COMPANY! We had a visitor and she booked a full day group tour that included Nairobi National, Elephant Orphanage, lunch, Giraffe Centre, Bomas of Kenya and Karen Blixen. Our visitor was the only one in the group who had booked the full day. So after the half day with Nairobi National and Elephant Orphanage, the driver (who originally wasn’t even informed that she was on the full day tour) abandoned her on the road side and told her to wait for another driver. She waited in the middle of nowhere for 40 minutes. Then this driver took her to a random beads factory instead of the lunch place that was written in the program. In this factory they harassed her and told her she was supposed to buy something which she refused. She kept on telling the driver that she wants to have lunch and continue with the program. He told her that if she wants to have lunch they can only do one of the 3 activities that were still on the itinerary. She was fine with skipping Giraffe Centre, but still wanted to do the other two which the driver refused. She called the company to complain and they told her that they are telling the driver to leave since she’s going to leave a bad review anyway! I have lived six years in Nairobi and never have I heard of such shameful behaviour! To abandon young woman twice and not to fulfill the itinerary that she paid for! They clearly took advantage of the fact that she was on her own. She had to take an Uber from the lunch place and never got to go to the other three places. By the way, she also offered to switch to the half day program if they reimburse her the money which they refused as well!Written October 9, 2024
- adeolap4840 contributions5/5 Stars! Exceptional Safari Experience With JamesWe had an incredible time on our safari tour with James! His expertise, knowledge, and passion for wildlife made our experience truly unforgettable. James's exceptional driving skills and keen eye spotted the most animals, ensuring breathtaking views and lifelong memories. We wholeheartedly recommend James for any safari adventure! Thank you, James, for an unforgettable experience!Written October 6, 2024
- Riaan_uk0 contributionsGreat experience despite a booking mixup.We booked via getyourguide. There was a bit of a mix-up with the booking. The local operator and getyourguide went out of their way to resolve the problem. We had a great outing to Nairobi Nat Park and they even added a trip to Giraffe Centre free of charge. It is mostly not the problems, but how they are dealt with, that makes the difference. Thank you - well done.Written September 30, 2024
- Sightseer233405602990 contributionsSo much wildlife and a great guide!Our guide, Onesmus, picked us up at our hotel right on time and we were driving on safari inside the park by 6:35. Onesmus knows the wildlife and had us visiting a pride of lions in less than twenty minutes after entering the park. By radio and phone he keeps in touch with other drivers in order to be able to quickly locate the best viewing opportunities. The highlights of our morning game drive were the lions and several encounters with white rhinos. Equally exciting were our visits to the Sheldrick elephant orphanage and the giraffe center. Onesmus has a great sense of humor and never rushed us. I highly recommend this tour and tour guide!Written September 30, 2024

From pick-up to drop off, this tour blew my mind and exceeded all expectations. The main host was very responsive and encouraging. The tour guide(driver and Safari guide) was not only knowledgeable, he was passionate to share a piece of his home and heritage with us. The drives around the safari was indeed an experience of a lifetime.
The tour included meals and accommodation. I felt safe and comfortable the entire time and had a blast. I was a solo traveler so that was important. Pick up from place of accommodation. The drive was a few hours, but you won't even notoce the time because you'll be too busy enjoying the scenic views along the way from the window.
It's hard to describe the feeling of being in Maasai Mara, you just have to experience it. I will not share specifically what I saw because you deserve to see it, feel it, and stay connected with it like I am now. I am urging anyone reading this that is thinking whether or not you should do it, DO IT. The place is beautiful, rich in history and culture, the people are amazing and it will give you something to remember forever.

The trip it self was good, but our driver PAUL was really bad. His car (the car we drove in the whole safari and to and from Maasai Mara) broke down 4 times. One on the way to safari and ones during the safari and to times one the way home. He used our spare time to fix his car, so both drives to and from Masai Mara took 8 hours instead of 6,5 maximum. And on the safari he did not do anything for us to find and see the animals. We arrived late all times and other times we did not see the animals.
- Be aware. He knows people, so on the drive to and from Masai Mara you will stop at his friends souvenir shop and they all say it is good prices, but it is not. They will try and force money out of tourist, so use your sense of reason.

BOOKING
Viator customer service provided some wrong details. Happy James (Onesmus) was so patient with my frustration, million questions and skepticism. He was so patient with me. I’m happy I believed him when he assured me I was in safe hands! Thank you.
TOUR GUIDE
Johnny Is a super star big 5 Safari tour guide. He knows how to position the vehicle right where the animals are for best viewing. He navigates through other tour guides with skill and precision. His eyes are tuned to wildlife all around and he finds a way to point it out while driving in rough terrain. He’s a a kind, hard-working man with a great attitude toward people and a love an knowledge of wildlife.
We loved the no pressure shopping and local hospitality.
VEHICLES
The vehicles really take beating in the rough safari terrain. Several packed repair sites make it obvious that it’s an unavoidable event on occasion. I’m thankful our safari car was in great working order, but certainly would understand if something happened. That animal territory terrain takes a beating on cars.
If it happens to you, just roll with it and choose to stay happy. You may be surprised to find out that “timing” works out on your favor!

The trip operator requested USD 80 per day in advance and would not accept me paying on arrival by card at the Masai Mara park.
The reason is at the park you get 24 hours, not just until the end of the day.
The operator was trying to obtain USD 240 knowing that we would not be there longer than 48 hours. I believe they fraudulently obtain an extra USD 80 for each foreign tourist.
I will not be using or recommending that tour operator again.
They were also rude to me when I objected paying by card, probably because of their lost profit, and suggested I cancelled, which I did and booked through another operator at approximately ÂŁ100 less in superior accommodation.

Amazing Trip!
Even after a sticky start with van troubles, we saw nearly all the big 5 plus lots of extra animals over the 2 days. The camping set up was great, good traditional African food and good company made for a very enjoyable trip..even if the roads were very bumpy. Great guide, Ben, and good pick up and drop off service from James. All in all a great experience.
