About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- plusone_adventures0 contributionswe enjoyedweather so cold, beatiful scenaries , great food , awesome activities , mud fun ,,we really enjoyed doing it ,zipline and wild swingWritten August 14, 2024
- Boowiki0 contributionsSCAM tour operators. Do not purchase anything from them!Booked through Viator which I have used many times before with no issues. We were messaged by a representative +254 716 569969 to say to cancel via TripAdvisor and make payment through allevents.com. The reason they said was that they don't receive payment instantly from Viator. On the night before the trip, I contacted them and they said to be ready at 5 am the next morning. We waited an hour and no one arrived. we tried contacting them, but no one picked up. Booked with an alternative tour guide who carried out a superb safari for us. We lost 300 dollars but just to give a warning, do not take any tours with these operators.Written April 20, 2024
- aserpacastillo0 contributionsDon’t trust in this tour agentUntrusted person. Initially he replied calls but the day of the tour he never appeared . Look for another tour at least with a website.Written January 17, 2024
- aserpacastillo0 contributionsNever showed upI booked a tour in Nairobi. Never showed up. Avoid any tour with this “company”. They will reply initial messages but the day of the experience, they will disaapear.Written November 18, 2023
- Bebe N0 contributionsHorrible experience, stay away from thisWe booked a half day walking tour in Mombasa with Sylgam. Before the tour started, via communication of Trip advisor, I asked Sylgam about the specific location, they sent a link to the google map, it was in front of Naivas supermarket. We were there at 2 PM, No one showed up. My taxi driver called this number. No answer. I sent text message, used WhatsApps to call and sent text, my message indicated that it was read, but still no response. Complained with Trip Advisor. The 1st representative responded to me that the tour operator claimed that "the tour was operated and customers did not show". I sent proof ( my text, my photo in front at the supermarket) to prove Sylgam 's lies. Finally TA had to refund my money. This wasted my valuable vacation and stressed me outWritten August 26, 2023

- Rachel G0 contributionsGood Spa but can be betterThe Spa is very nice hot and relaxing for adults and kids. It's good for a day activity and the pools are great for achy muscles and bones and even fun for the very old. However the pool floors are slimy there was no soap in the showers and the showers could do with repairs to fix bare electrical wires and faulty showers. Other amenities are basic and the food is blah!Written June 24, 2019

I mostly had a good time on this tour. I found the tour offering on TripAdvisor and didn't know any of the people involved before this but they did a good job with coordinating it.
The company handled all transport arrangements from Nairobi to Mombasa and back to Nairobi. They also took care of my accommodation while in Mombasa and all these were part of the bill. I made my way to the Nairobi SGR Terminus on the first day and someone was already waiting with my train ticket to Mombasa. I was picked up at the Mombasa Terminus and dropped off at my hotel.
On the first two days, I went on a tour of Mombasa - Fort Jesus, Old town, Haller Park, Spice Market, and the Swaminarayan Temple in Mombasa. The tour guide who doubled as a photographer, Eric, knew a lot about these places and did a good job with sharing the information. There was breakfast at the hotel and the guides paid for lunch and dinner on these two days.
Itineraries changed and I went on a tour of Wasini on the third day instead of the second. I checked out of the hotel and the hotel held my bags until I returned because that was my last day in Mombasa. I was picked up at the hotel early in the morning by another tour company in charge of that. We drove to the Marine Park and went on a boat ride, snorkeling, scuba diving (Not included in the fee. I had to pay $50 separately for this), dolphin watching and had lunch in Wasini. This was a full day of activities and I was dropped in front of my hotel at the end of the day.
I was taken to the bus park by the guide and had to take the night bus from Mombasa back to Nairobi at 10pm on that same day instead of the planned train because of the changed itineraries. No dinner was provided and the bus was comfortable but the roads were really bumpy.

A mess. When we had already paid Tripadvisor the agent asked us for the cash to make the tour.
I had nothing prepared and insisted that Tripadvisor would return the money if he cancelled the trip. We refused to take the risk of paying twice for the tour and ran out of it. We have processed the refund for running out of tour, now we are waiting for how the issue will end.
