Visiting Rimoi National Reserve with The Safari Side was an amazing experience. Though smaller in size, the reserve offered incredible sightings of elephants and vibrant birdlife. The journey back through Cheploch, watching local divers showcase their skills, added a cultural touch to the trip. Excellent for a short but fulfilling adventure.

Our two-day trip to Lakes Nakuru and Naivasha was perfectly planned by The Safari Side. The game drive at Lake Nakuru was exhilarating, and the overnight stay in Naivasha was delightful. The boat ride to Crescent Island the next day was a unique experience, with beautiful scenery and wildlife. The team’s attention to detail and flexibility made our trip hassle-free and memorable.

We spent 11 days with friends (4 people, two couples) across Kenya: Masai Mara, Kakamega Forest, Nandi Hills, Iten, Naivasha, Amboseli and finally Diani Beach. This stay was unforgettable, intense (we wanted to be able to go to as many varied places as possible in this magnificent country) but managed to perfection by the Safari Side team and by Titus, our faithful and competent driver-guide. The highlights of the trip cannot be listed here as there are so many of them. Don't hesitate and come and discover this magnificent and rich region. The Safari Side is a great option for doing this. Well done and thank you!

Our trip to Masai Mara was breathtaking, filled with up-close encounters with wildlife and stunning landscapes. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, making us feel safe and comfortable throughout the journey. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Kenya!

The late arrival was facilitated by a warm welcome, perfect to start the journey smoothly.
The ascent of Mont Longonot was an intense but incredibly rewarding hike with spectacular views of the Rift Valley.
The discovery of Nairobi and the walk in the Karura forest offered a fascinating contrast between urban life and unspoilt nature.
The day at Lake Naivasha and Hell’s Gate Park revealed breathtaking scenery and impressive wildlife.
Total immersion in the Masai Mara reserve was the highlight of the trip: unforgettable safaris with incredible wildlife scenes, worthy of documentaries.
The exploration of the Kakamega forest has allowed to discover a unique ecosystem, ideal for nature lovers.
Finally, the adventure ended in style at Mount Elgon, a majestic setting that offered magnificent panoramas to close this exceptional trip.
The organization was impeccable: competent guides, comfortable accommodations, and activities perfectly balanced between adventure and relaxation. This trip gave me unforgettable memories, between local encounters and magnificent landscapes.
I highly recommend The Safari Side for an authentic and well organized stay in Kenya!

The Safari Side planned a fantastic one-day safari to Lake Nakuru for us. From majestic lions to rhinos and giraffes, we were thrilled with the wildlife we saw. The park’s scenery was equally stunning. It was the perfect quick escape from city life, and the guides ensured we had a smooth and enjoyable experience.

Our 4-day Masai Mara tour with The Safari Side was nothing short of a dream come true. The abundance of wildlife, especially during the Great Migration, was jaw-dropping. Titus was a fantastic guide who shared his expertise and made every moment exciting. It’s a must for anyone visiting Kenya!

Our safari experience with this agency was absolutely amazing! We visited three different parks, each offering breathtaking landscapes and incredible wildlife encounters. We were lucky to see many animals up close : all the big five (except the loepard) and the ugly fives, plus many more other ones.
The organization was flawless, everything was well-planned, from transfers to accommodations. The guides were really friendly and also knowledgeable, sharing a lot of information about the animals and ecosystems.
If you’re looking for a well-organized and memorable safari adventure, this is the agency to choose. I highly recommend!
