- Trail240627014970 contributionsWonderful!I had a fantastic tour with Wasili Kenya Safaris. I had two different guides for different tours and both of the guides are called Peter. They were both professionals, courteous and most importantly knowledgeable! They also made great effort to look for the beautiful animals I was so glad to see and appreciate. If you choose them, you won't be disappointed.Written November 11, 2024
- FrancoisS7160 contributionsFantastic experience after having to cancel in JulyAbsolutely fantastic experience. We were supposed to travel in July but had to cancel our trip due to the political situation. Kamau was extremely helpful and we could rebook both the safari and the balloon ride, without any penalties. The week before our safari, we were informed about pick-up and Peter collected us from our hotel as agreed. Peter was an absolute star. My wife likes plants and the two of them discussed every flower they saw on the way to the park. The journey was fun and Peter told interesting stories. When we made a trip into the Maasai Mara, we spotted a jeep that was stuck and Peter used our cables to pull it free. Clearly, that is one of the reasons why he is so popular with other drivers, always helpful. We did spot lions hunting wildebeest and 13 jeeps were told by the ranger to keep our distance. As nothing happened, 11 jeeps left but Peter explained the lions might give up and look for shade near our vehicle. Indeed that is what happened and we saw the lions pass us from 5 ft away. It got even better. Five cheetah's walked past our vehicle on their way to hunt gazelles and when Peter mentioned a little later we were late for lunch, we spotted four elephants. Of course we wanted to see them and they had their lunch before us, as we watched them eat shrub from a couple of metres away. Our day could hardly have gone better but we still had a desert. As we dined in Simba Lodge, a hippo stepped out of the river and walked along the opposite bank. All the other guest stood beside our table and we looked at the magnificent beast. We were sad to go back to Nairobi the next day, and Peter dropped us off at the Fairview were we had a lovely lunch and talked non-stop about the fantastic experience. I did visit Amboseli with Wasili Safaris last year and enjoyed that too. Mt Kilimanjaro is fantastic, but for me, Maasai Mara wins it. You get a better chance to see more animals from a shorter distance. Thanks Peter and KamauWritten November 10, 2024
- FrancoisSonneville0 contributionsThe King (Peter) and the Lion KingWonderful experience in Maasai Mara. We were supposed to visit Kenya in July but had to postpone and Kamau helped us to rebook for the start of November. We have been on a thee day adventure and were picked up from our hotel by Peter. Kamau kept us informed about his arrival time. The journey to Maasai Mara was pleasant. My wife loves plants and Peter is very knowledgeable about local vegetation. We had a schedule for the three days, but Peter told us to express our wishes and was flexible. We had our first taste of the park when we arrived and saw a giraffe family. We also spotted an elephant and a buffalo, as well as lots of zebras, warthogs and gazelles. For day 2 we had booked a balloon safari at dawn and Peter let us meet with Sami who explained what would happen. The balloon safari was fantastic. We saw the sunrise from the balloon and spotted lions and elephants from above. After a perfect breakfast, Peter picked us up from where we had landed and took us to the south side of the park, near the border with Tanzania. We were already happy but the best was still to come. Another vehicle had spotted a pack of lions, hunting wildebeasts. We waited for half an hour as the lions decided what to do. Most other jeeps (there had been around 15) left, but Peter predicted that the lions would retreat as the heat rose. There were only 3 jeeps left as the 9 lions passed less than 5 yards away from our vehicle on the way to the shade. That was good, but more was to come. We spotted a group of 5 cheetah’s that were following antilopes. The animals did not mind the jeeps at all and passed us even closer than the lions had done. As we drove on, we saw another jeep that was stuck at a river crossing. We stopped and Peter used his cable to pull the vehicle free. Our jeep was state of the art, but so where many others. Our driver was however in a league of his own. We were past 1:00 pm and on our way to a late lunch when we spotted elephants nearby, and we were very excited. So Peter offered to postpone lunch and drive up to the bushes where the elephants were. The five beasts were having lunch themselves and let us approach within 10 yards, not being bothered at all. After that, having lunch with Peter under a tree and seeing two hippo’s cross the Mara River rounded off our day. Unless you are interested to hear that when we were back at the Simba Lodge and had dinner, a hippo decided to climb out of the water on the opposite bank and walk along in the dark.

- qiujuw20230 contributionsUnforgettable 7-day safari with WasiliWe had an incredible 7 day safari with Wasili in October and loved the experience. It was our first time on safari in Africa and it was amazing to see all the different animals in their habitat! It was indeed a great experience! The whole trip is well organized. Our driver and guide, Julius' safari expertise was impressive. He was incredibly skilled at spotting wildlife and predicting animal behavior and movement, explaining all the details behind the animal. He has a wealth of knowledge and always made us feel safe throughout the trip. The trip wouldn't have been as amazing as it was without him. We had an unforgettable 7 day safari. We highly recommend Wasili and would love to come back for another adventure!Written November 3, 2024
- brunocA3402QJ0 contributionsExcellent safari in the Nairobi National ParkI had very good safari guides before, but here Clement was the best. He had a 6th sense to know where the animals were, even to find them mating, avoiding agglomerations with other cars. The rest of the service was properly organised and flexible.Written October 22, 2024
- DulceF7460 contributionsThe best of the bestI had the best experience on this trip with Evan, who was extremely kind and helpful. The transport was as comfortable as you can expect, with chargers and an air conditioner. Amboseli National Park is a must!Written October 4, 2024

- teresasnook0 contributionsFantastic Maasai Mara safari experienceWe had a great experience on safari with Wasili Kenya. They were so communicative before and during our time there. Cannot fault the organisation, planning or kindness of our guide Peter. We feel so lucky to have seen so many fantastic things! He was incredibly knowledgeable and taught us a lot. Great value for money and would absolutely recommend. Thanks again!Written September 19, 2024
- simonwB2109EO0 contributionsmost unforgettable experience of our lives.The safari that just ended this August was incredibly stunning and unforgettable for us. We visited several national parks, the lodges we stayed in were beautiful, spacious, clean and offered a wide variety of food. The staff provided excellent services. Our driver-guides were friendly, professional and experienced. We witnessed the spectacular scene of thousands wildebeest and zebras crossing Maasai Mara river and saw cheetahs, leopards and lions hunting wildebeest and antelope. We also saw large herds of elephants, giraffes, buffaloes, impalas, flamingos and various other animals and birds. This trip is most unforgettable experience of our lives.Written September 16, 2024
- Voyager521385612790 contributionsBest Safari ExperienceWe had best time in masai mara. Julius was so sweet to come to pick us up at airport the first day we landed. And Peter was so amazing to walk us through masai mara. One of the best hospitality.Written September 7, 2024
- Hans S0 contributionsA condensed experience that exceeded our expectationsOur guide/driver, Evans, was amazing, caring and knowledgeable. He knew the best tricks to find the animals in the national park. We ran into all of them, except the leopard, which is extremely rare to come across. We even saw a baboon when we left from the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust. The Giraffe Center was a fun experience, where all visitors were given a bowl of pellets, which we could feed the giraffes with. A good tip is to combine the national park with the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, so that you only pay the fee for the national park once.Written August 18, 2024
- Gabby R0 contributionsEvan’s the guideReally enjoyed this day out! Evan’s was a fantastic guide and really knew his stuff. Would recommend this package as it included all the additional costs of park entrance fees. The elephant sanctuary was a highlight! One of the best things to do whilst exploring NairobiWritten August 12, 2024
- Wasim F0 contributionsAmazing Experience and ServiceWow! What an amazing company, experience and safari I am a Kenyan living abroad and was bringing my children for the first time on Safari. Hence, my local knowledge was good and hence I was perhaps more discerning as you what I wanted From the very first time I spoke to Julius, I felt the warmth of a company genuinely looking to ensure we have the best visit. We did Mt Kenya, Samburu, Naivasha and Masai Mara. We had the best tour guide Peter who was extremely gentle with my kids. It’s telling that my daughter was very emotional when we reached the end of the safari as she really missed Peter. All the accomodation chosen was a of a high standard and the wildlife was outstanding. If you are considering a safari, look no further than Wasili Safari. Simply the best. Asante sana Julius and Peter for making this a truly memorable tripWritten August 7, 2024
- Ash_hai0 contributions1 day trip to Amboseli National Park from NairobiGo without any hesitation! Wasili Kenya safaris take good care you. They were available for communication at all points right from planning stage to the actual day of travel. During our travel a sudden riot broke loose, however our guide Mr. Evans very meticulously coordinated with his other friends in different parts of the route we were taking and ensured our safe reaching back to Nairobi. Excellent service! Thanks Kamau and Evans!Written July 18, 2024
