We had the best safari ever thanks to Pollman's and Ahmed! We were booked on the Kenya Classic tour and experienced different landscapes and animals from the Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli, and they were all was amazing to see. The accommodation was appropriate for the location, being in the national parks and used electric generator power and brought in purified water. It was our guide and driver that really made the experience exceptional. He was so knowledgeable, friendly, and professional, and our experience with Ahmed is why we're looking forward to booking our next safari in Tanzania with Pollman's/Rangers!

We recently took a Pollmans tour in Kenya, spending 6 days exploring the Shaba, Lake Nakuru & Maasai Mara reserves. Our driver/guide was Ahmed and I can certainly recommend him as extremely knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining as well as being a safe driver who keeps his safari vehicle clean and comfortable. The wildlife we encountered in each area was abundant and the close proximity to these beautiful animals has given us a lifetime of memories .... and about 500 photos to enjoy! Ahmed arranged for us to join a balloon flight over the Mara and it was truly an awesome experience. Thank you Pollmans Thank Ahmed Thank you Kenya

We had an amazing time on our tour with Bryson as our driver and guide and spotter. He is a great and careful driver. He tells interesting facts about history of Kenya. His knowledge.of the animals and birds is extensive. He could spot wildlife in a flash and was patient while we.took photos and enjoyed ourselves. I cannot recommend him too highly as he was a kind man who was a joy to spend 5 1/2 days with as our guide and driver and spotter.

What an amazing company to use for a safari. Our guide Francess was excellent we got to see the big five and so much more. Francess looked after us so well, nothing was any bother and his knowledge of animals and plants was outstanding, he also has a wicked sense of humour. It was a pleasure to meet and spend time with him. At the end of the safari he took as back to the airport. Thank you Francess x We went to the Masai Mara including a hot air balloon safari, Lake Nakura, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. Our jeep was clean and we had fresh water every day. Pollmans met as at the airport and took us to hotel in Nairobi, collected us the following day and escorted us to the elephant orphanage, giraffe centre, womend refuge and shop and mens wood carving centre. Our guide Simon was very attentive to our requirements, friendly and spoke good English I highly recommend this company it was completely stress free and so well organised. Thank you so much. Untill next time x

What can I say. THE most amazing trip with Pollmans Tours and Safaris. Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Elementatia, Lake Naivasha and finally Amboseli. A long drive but worth every second. Special mention to our tour driver Dan. He was outstanding. We were so lucky to have a fantastic group and Dan as our ‘captain’.

We booked the Pollmans Classic Safari Tour through Trailfinders and couldn’t have asked for more… the parks have been amazing, having seen four of the “big five” on the first day. Our guide, Marvin, has been excellent. He is enthusiastic, knowledgeable and very helpful, not to mention his rally driving skills that are second to none.

Having never been on Safari before and both having some degree of health issues, we decided to take a one day Safari to see how we got on. We were blessed to have an amazing Safari Guide, Aswad Khan. He has 36 years experience running Safari tours and is quite evidently very knowledgeable. He had a great sense of humour too, which made for an even more enjoyable day. Aswad was determined to get to the reserve as early as possible before the animals moved away from the road side, which meant we got to see so many of the animals we had hoped to see. We stopped off for a buffet lunch in the middle of the reserve, within a secure compound, where we found more interesting creatures and a small pool to cool off in.

This was our first time in Kenya and whilst our expectations were high, they were surpassed by the amazing safari we did with our guide Sheshe from Pollman's, arranged through Trailfinders. Over 8 days on a private safari for 4 of us, we went with him from Nairobi to the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli, Tsavo West, Taita Hills and finally on to Mombasa for 3 nights at the beach. Every day brought exciting new wildlife sightings and experiences. We spotted all the big five in our first 24 hours on safari but there was still so much more to see and do, that we never got bored. Throughout our trip, Sheshe worked hard to give us the best possible adventure, whilst keeping us entertained and informed. He knew so much about the birds and animals we saw, of every shape and size, from geckos to hippos. He also talked to us about Kenyan culture and his own life and family. We drove for many hours together, covering vast distances in sometimes challenging conditions and always felt safe with him at the wheel. All the lodges we stayed in were brilliant too, each different and characterful in its own way with good food throughout. Highlights were hippos on the lawn at the Lake Naivasha Country Club, the stunning animal gatherings at the Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge watering hole in Tsavo and herds of elephants coming to drink in the evening at Salt Lick Safari Lodge. Having a great guide makes all the difference to your safari. From start to end, Sheshe and Pollman's made our holiday magical.

We had a wonderful time spotting the wildlife in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli National Park. We saw elephants, giraffes, lions, leopards, cheetahs, hippos, Impalas, buffalo, hyenas, crocs, Eagles, rhinos, and flamingos. However, they don't tell you that a week safari is a week crammed into a jeep for over 8 hours a day! I'm 6'2" tall and in a full jeep I had no extra room to stretch out my legs and as the week went on it got worse and worse. Driving from Lake Nakuru to Amboseli with a stop for 2 hours at Lake Navisha and 1/2 hour lunch break in Nairobi still meant nearly 10 hours riding in a jeep. By the time we arrived I could barely walk. It was so bad we had to miss the full day game drive in Amboseli because I didn't want to end up in a hospital or mess myself up so bad I missed my flight out the next day. During the game drives, the roof of the jeep is open so you can stand up and take pictures. We had some wonderful times and got some great pictures doing that. But when we are traveling from place to place, I couldn't stand up and it was slow and torturous. All jeeps and trucks have a speed governor that limits it to a top speed of 80kph, around 50mph. This makes long drives even longer. There are also few spots where the road is more than one lane in either direction so passing lanes are hard to find and you spend a lot of time behind some very slow moving trucks. Everything else about or trip was fantastic! The driver was great, friendly, and knowledgeable. The hotels we stayed at, Sopa lodges in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli, were excellent. However, we did pay more to upgrade to the hotels instead of tent camps because we wanted to have a pool and a nice lodge, but we really didn't have much time to use them because we were in the jeep all the time and rarely spent any daylight hours at the lodges. I would definitely recommend this company, but if you are a large person, or an old person, or both, you might want a shorter trip than the one week we did. You might also consider flying from place to place because just the drive from Nairobi to Masai Mara was 6 1/2 hours then you check into the hotel and get back in the jeep for another 3 hour game drive. That's just the first day. It was a magnificent once in a lifetime trip but the websites don't tell you about the amount of time you spend cramped in a jeep. I just wanted to make sure you knew what you are signing up for. We have been back over a month and my leg is still not working right from the time cramped in that jeep.

We have just completed a classic Kenya tour with Pollman’s - Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Elementeita, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli Park. It was an amazing 6 days with Spider, our guide. We saw so much wildlife - and he was incredibly knowledgable about the animals, the birds, the parks and the people throughout the whole tour. Thank you, Spider… unforgettable.
