          For the price, we couldn’t believe how much Starvel Safaris offered! From the friendly guides to the stunning wildlife sightings, everything was well beyond our expectations. We saw elephants, lions, giraffes, Buffaloes, Wildebeest, Zebras, Elephants, hippos and crocodiles! The entire experience felt like a luxury safari, even though it was budget-friendly. Couldn’t recommend them more!

          The best family travel experience!
          My family vacation will be forever memorable because of Starvel Safaris! Let me break it down for you—Esther and the Starvel Safaris crew are the real deal. Esther's expertise and passion for wildlife and travel planning shone through as she patiently guided me through the various safari options. This exclusive 3-day package is the best decision you can ever make. Our tour guide, Daniel was knowledgeable and incredibly friendly, making the experience even more enjoyable. We were lucky enough to spot the entire Big Five, and the joy on my children's faces as they saw these majestic creatures up close for the first time was priceless. Our accommodation exceeded our expectations. The family tent concept was brilliant, providing a cozy, safe space for the family! I can't recommend Starvel Safaris enough for all your travel needs. Thank you, Starvel Safaris, for an unforgettable journey.

          Must Do in Nairobi
          My wife and I had an eye-opening and culturally enriching experience. We hopped into the so-called matatus for transportation, this tour allowed us to immerse ourselves in the everyday life of Nairobi and experience how locals get around. Our tour guide, Harriet, was very friendly and we felt safe walking around the city with her guide. My wife and I explored Maasai Market and got some good souvenirs and interacted with some local artists. The Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) rooftop was the highlight for us. The spot is perfect for a mesmerizing view of the whole city. Our lunch introduced us to the authentic flavors of Kenyan food and it was amazing! I highly recommend this tour!

          Just an incredible experience!
          This City exceeded our expectations. This tour is really special. You'll get to see and experience a side of Nairobi that tourists probably avoid. It’s done in a very safe and reasonable way that make you feel at ease walking around the streets. As we enjoyed the rides on Matatus, a shared minibus used by locals, we experienced the city's uniqueness and felt like true locals during the rides. The local people were friendly and greeting us as we passed by. We for sure experienced the local livelihood in Nairobi City! We had the best experience getting to know local people. We loved the BBQ meat authentic local Kenyan popular meal. Our Tour Guides Harriet and Daisy were very helpful every bit of the way enlightening us with the historical and cultural ethics of the Kenyan people. I would totally recommend everyone visiting Nairobi do this tour.

          BEST SOLO TRIP IN KENYA
          I had the best trip visiting Kenya, and this all goes to Starvel Safari team for planning my safari tour. My tour guide driver, was amazing, In 5 days, he showed me more than I could have ever wished for. I went to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, and the Maasai Mara. I had an amazing hot air balloon tour at Mara. All the accommodations were top-notch and there was very good hospitality. I was looked after very well by the amazing staff at the hotels at all different locations. Thanks to the guide, as he made sure I saw the Big 5. I felt incredibly lucky to have such a smooth experience. Big Thanks to Starvel Safari Team, Esther was very help with answering all my inquries from the beginning to the end. I would recommend everyone to try Starvel Safaris if you really want to enjoy a smooth planning of Kenya safari.

          Saw so much and had a great time
          Had an amazing tour with Harriet and Caroline. Feel like we got to experience a part of nairobi other tourists do not usually get to see. Riding around the matatu buses was such unique experience that gets to the heart of Nairobi. Walking around the Central Business District, especially near the matatu depot could have been too much to experience with the great guiding hand of Harriet and Caroline. Could not recommend enough.

We for sure experienced the local livelihood of Nairobi City! I would recommend!

          What an amazing day! Our tour guides, Harriet and Daisy, were so hospitable and great conversationalists. We learned so much about the local perspective and they answered all of our questions with down-to-earth honesty. We got to see a lot and even experience the local matatus! We had such a fantastic experience getting the local flavor, that I would recommend that *everyone* visiting Nairobi should do this tour! Thank you again, Harriet and Daisy!

        Me and my wife had an eye-opening experience at Maasai Mara National Park on a 3-day guided safari from Nairobi with Starvel Safaris. We got to see “The Big Five,” which includes lions, leopards, and other amazing animals, at a reasonable cost.

        Our tour guide, Francis, guided us through Kenya's best cultural experiences. Our camp was a true haven, nestled in the heart of nature. It was comfortable and thoughtfully designed to harmonize with nature's surroundings. The culinary experience at the camp was a true delight. The camp's chefs skillfully blended various tastes, thoroughly satisfying our taste buds.

        Our experience with them was exceptional! I would highly recommend that you all choose Starvel Safaris for the best vacation experience.

        Setting out on the 3-Day Maasai Mara Guided Safari from Nairobi felt like entering a wild African tapestry. A genuine savannah sage, our guide Peter opened our eyes to the secrets of Mara's rich ecosystem on every game drive, making it an expedition of discovery.

        The Great Migration was an incredible natural phenomenon, a captivating vision of zebras and wildebeests moving in unison. Tucked away in cozy lodgings that blended nicely with the landscape, we discovered ourselves at the nexus of opulence and wild splendor.

        Every morning held the promise of fresh experiences, and every sunset reflected the colors of the day's wildlife sightings across the horizon. The inhabitants of the Mara, which ranged from elegant giraffes to magnificent lions, like actors in a gripping natural drama.

        This safari was a thorough expedition into the spirit of Africa, not just a trip across various landscapes. Not only are the memories made in the midst of the expansive plains and beneath the huge African sky keepsakes, but they are also treasured parts of a journey that will never be forgotten. Strongly advised for anyone looking for a genuine safari experience that goes above and beyond.

        My family and I (including my two daughters aged 10 and 6) have recently returned from an excellent Maasai Mara safari experience. We stayed at Enkorok Camp which was perfect as mid-range tented camp, with very good food, attentive service and a reassuring security presence round the clock. Our guide and driver Francis, who took excellent care of us and made sure we had close sightings of a very wide range of animals. We saw all of the “big five” apart from rhino…but this was made up for by a sighting of a serval cat which is extremely rare. Esther, Starvel Safaris, was also responsive and reliable throughout. All in all, its an experience to be recommended. Thanks, Esther, for planning our safari trip so perfectly!

        Oh my God! This vacation cannot be explained in words. I had the best memories of my whole life at Maasai Mara. It was one of the most satisfying and best trips I ever had. I made the best decision to choose Starvel Safaris for this family vacation. Esther from Starvel Safaris helped us plan this trip incredibly well. Our tour guide, Francis showed us the best sights of Kenya's culture.

        The Big Five and seeing other animals in their natural habitats were priceless experiences. The whole thing was an adventure. From planning, tours, and camps to food, everything was delightful. This warm and enriching experience was worth every single penny. I recommend Starvel Safaris if you genuinely want to enjoy your trip to Masai Mara!

        A close friend of mine suggested that I get to experience the magical thrill that comes with the Game Drives at Maasai Mara. I did not know what agency to book with until my friend suggested I try Starvel Safaris. Esther, took her time to explain to me the very best Game Drives safaris destinations including the Maasai Mara, Amboseli, and Samburu. She was helpful especially with queries on what I needed to make my travel and that of my family a success.
        There was this exclusive package of 3 days that offered a whole new wild experience. I loved how each day offered a new experience for me and my family. Each day came with exciting memories. The planning and execution of the trip were simple, easy and smoothly organized. Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgable in spotting the wild animals, we were able to see all the big five. My children were excited to see the animals especially because it was their first time. Our accommodation was just more than we expected. The camp we were in was a family tent, which I kinda loved the idea. Expertise and professionalism, wow, it was just amazing. I highly recommend anyone to use Starvel Safaris for all their travel needs. I will be booking my next holiday trip, you guys! see you soon. Thanks

        If you are on a budget and looking for the best experience, I would suggest Starvel Safaris. Esther had booked my safari, and was reachable whatsapp with quick replies. She’s very welcoming, and met us before and after our safari to make sure that we had good experience and if everything was ok. Our guide cum driver, Mr. Francis is a wonderful gentleman and has great knowledge about safari park, always there to help and made extra effort that we get to see max wildlife. Thank you Esther and Francis for this memorable trip!!

        Our safari with Leonard wasn’t just about seeing animals – it was about feeling connected to the land. We roamed with elephants, watched lions under the golden sunset, and heard the heartbeat of the Maasai Mara. Leonard shared stories of the local culture and wildlife that made us see Kenya in a whole new light. The warmth and knowledge he brought turned our adventure into something truly magical.

        If you're into wild African adventures, you've got to check out the 3-Day Maasai Mara safari by Starvel Safaris. It's like stepping into the heart of Africa. Every day, you're meeting wild animals and soaking in stunning views, all thanks to our legendary tour guide, Francis.

        Francis not only knew his stuff but also shared cool local stories. Whether you want to see the Great Migration or just chill in a nice place, this safari's got it all. You'll leave with epic memories. Shoutout to Esther and the Starvel Safaris crew for hooking it up, and of course, a big thanks to Francis for being the best guide ever!
