A day trip to Maasai Mara - The two drivers served great, on-demand and showed me a lot of animals. The park was not as dusty as Amboseli's and the timing was reasonable.

An unforgettable day in Maasai Mara - This day tour to Maasai Mara was absolutely wonderful. Everything was perfectly organized - comfortable, friendly, interesting, and very caring. The drive from Nairobi was smooth and easy, and I felt relaxed from the very beginning. Patrick was incredibly polite and attentive, which allowed me to fully unwind and just enjoy the experience. I truly felt taken care of throughout the whole day🥹☺️ Daniel has amazing knowledge about wildlife and did his absolute best to show me every animal I asked for - and we really saw them all. We were lucky enough to see two lions right at the beginning, then a cheetah, families of elephants, giraffes, zebras, and so many more 🦁🐆🦒🐘🦓🐃🦬🦜 His passion and effort made the safari truly special The lunch was also fantastic - I never imagined I would have a picnic next to a giraffe in my life! It was such a magical moment🥹 Thank you so much for this unforgettable experience. I spent an incredible day and will remember it forever. Highly recommended!

Solo trip to the Maasai Masa - My tour to the Maasai Masa game reserve was amazing from start to finish. Patrick was my driver and picked me up from my Hotel on time. Throughout the trip he was very knowledgeable about the area and shared the history of landmarks and roads we traveled. He knows the roads very well so we arrived on time and safely. Daniel was my tour guide and he was great! He went above and beyond to make sure I saw all the animals up close. I highly recommend Patrick and Daniel if you want a fun, safe and exciting tour of the Maasai Masa!

Lifetime experience - Highly recommended! Can see the animals upclose.... amazing experience with great service. Patrick,the driver from Nairobi, highly recommended to start as early as 4 am as the animals are mostly active in the morning.. and he was right. Daniel took me to the game park and he was an expert.

Best Day Trip Ever! - Such a great experience, we saw so many things in the short time we were there! It's an early morning and a lot of driving, but so worth it. Patrick picked us up and was a great driver. He was very pleasant to chat with, and has a great sense of humor! He knew the best spots to stop for bathroom breaks and coffee. Once at the park, Daniel was by far the best safari driver I've ever had. He was able to get extremely close to the animals and was very, very knowledgeable about the park, the species, and the individual animals - he knew the life stories of many of the lions! He knew the best places to see most of the animals and the best spots for photos. We saw a ton of zebras and wildebeests in addition to elephants, giraffes, hyaenas, African buffalo, ostriches, mongooses, hippos, baboons, several cheetahs, and many, many lions. On the way back to Nairobi, Patrick was again excellent. He offered to stop at several other spots on the way (Maasai village and the place to do some shopping). We did unfortunately hit some traffic on the way back but Patrick did the best he could to get us back safely and with the least delay. It was certainly an expereince but we felt safe with him driving. Overall, I could not recommend this trip more, it was the most enjoyable day trip safari I've ever done, very much worth the time and cost!

It’s a very long and... - It’s a very long and exciting day. I brought my own water and my own snacks. The driver Patrick was great and on time, he took us to and from the park. Sammy was the driver in the park and he was very friendly and knowledgeable, he made sure we saw all that there was to see.
