Top Kenya Safaris - page 77

What a great day, our driver Peter was so knowledgeable, helpful and friendly. Our trip got off a bit slow (accident which held Peter up). Contacted company who replied right away with update even though was 6am. Once Peter arrived he took us to Nairobi National Park first. We saw a multitude of animals (zebra, giraffe, impalas, rhino)and birds (kites, hearon, ostrich, vultures) and more which Peter was able to tell us about and all the difference subspecies. Then someone said there were lions, away we went but we missed them, Peter was genuinely gutted we had and continued to track where they could have gone. Unfortunately no luck but thats safari for you. Next off was the Sheldrick wildlife sanctuary to see the orphaned Elephants oh and rhino and zebra. What an amazing experience. Peter then advised that our next stop was to be the Giraffe centre but it would be busy si we could go for a coffee. We took his advise and he stopped at lovebirds cafe, we spent about 30mins there and wandered around their gift shop. Then into the Giraffe centre. It was still very busy being the weekend, Peter couldn't get parked but managed to get us inside the gates. Lovely experience feeding Giraffes then a tour about the sustainability and rejuvenation projects that are going on. Peter waited patiently for us to come back. On the way back to the hotel Peter pointed out all the landmarks and talked freely about Nairobi giving us loads of information. Overall it was a fantastic trip and we would highly recommend it and Peter as a guide.

Tsavo is huge! This tour lets you see Tsavo East, which is probably more than enough for most people unless you want to do a multi day Safari. I saw tons of elephants as well as lions, zebras, gazelles, hippos, ostriches… you name it… I saw it (aside from rhinos, we didn’t see any rhinos). Keep in mind pick up will be very early in the morning - like 5 AM early in the morning. There is a lunch buffet available in the park. It’s reasonably priced and pretty good - plus you get to eat near a lot of elephants… so if you’d like elephants all the better. My tour guide was excellent, he really knew his way around the park. You will run into other vehicles at specific locations when certain animals are visible. This is a good thing because the drivers communicate with one another to ensure that all tourist see what they’re looking for. Again, this is a long day so be prepared. It’s definitely worth the trip and I recommend you do so if you have the opportunity.

This is an amazing tour! The guides are very nice, the driver is nice, you meet a lot of cool people on the tour and learn a lot about the island as well as seeing a lot of fish and the coral looks good as well! If you’re lucky, you might see dolphins and turtles! I would recommend this tour!

Our guide was brilliant! He tried his best to track down some of the big five, but also waited when he knew something special was about to happen - we got to spend about 10 minutes with some rhinos who then crossed the road in front of us, and they were the highlight of our experience. Really efficient hotel pick up, and when he saw the queue at the main gate he immediately whizzed us round to a side gate so we were in the national park within 30 minutes of collection. Would thoroughly recommend.

Our guide was George, who was timely, professional and full of knowledge. He really worked hard to maneuver the truck so that my friend and I could get good views of the animals. We were really fortunate that we were able to see the Big 5, including several Black Rhinos and even a Leopard, rare sightings. The office staff made sure we were taken care of and touched base a day ahead of time, as well as a day after our tour to make sure we were okay. The accommodations were good - clean and comfortable and welcoming - and offered great food. We also saw Lake Niguru and Lake Naivasha, which added to the animals we were able to see. This tour was worth every penny! We didn't see the need to stop at a Masai village - you drive through plenty of operating villages. Scenery in the Great Rift Valley is stunning.

This safari was everything we dreamed of! Johann was responsive to all our questions concerning the event. George, our guide, did an excellent job of taking care of us, finding the animals and getting the vehicle into prime spots for picture taking! The Sentrim lodges are very nice and the people are friendly and welcoming. I highly recommend this tour!

Great communication from the time of booking all the way through pickup. Albert was an outstanding guide, driver and communicator to our entire group. We were blown away on how quickly we seen animals on our evening safari on our first day. Our camp was sufficient. No bells and whistles but you spend very little time there. You absolutely cannot beat the price for what you will get. Amazing value. Absolutely no need to spend a cent more with anyone else.

This was one of my absolute favorite tours during my 3 week trip! Even though many people claim the park is small, it didn't seem that way. We rode around for hours and were able to see so many animals including rhinos and lions. The view we had of the lions at this park was far better than one of the larger parks I went to. I had an early AM pickup from the hotel and we arrived to the park right before dawn. The safari vehicle was in great condition. I was hoping for a vehicle where the roof opens up and that's exactly what we had! The driver raised the roof before we entered the park gates, and we were off on the safari adventure! The driver went above and beyond to make sure we were in the best spots to view wildlife. After the safari, we stopped for a delicious lunch buffet at a nearby restaurant with indoor/outdoor dining. The food was great and the staff very pleasant. We then stopped at several markets where we witnessed some cultural singing/dancing and I was able to shop and pickup some beautiful Kenyan clothing and souvenirs. We also stopped to meet some of the Maasai Mara tribesmen and got some great photos! Arrived back at the hotel in the early afternoon from what felt like a full day. This was an excellent tour. Would book again in a heartbeat! Book it, you won't be disappointed!
