Excellent trip. Highly recommend Christopher. He is a gem of a driver. - We booked through Native Afrika voyages for a 5 day trip to Kenya in September. They are extremely polite and easy to work with. The responses are also very prompt. They answer all your questions. There was absolutely no hiccup in the booking and everything was communicated well.
We booked the Toyota land cruiser and the vehicle was very spacious and comfortable.
We stayed in Lake Naiwasha Sawela lodge, Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge and Enkorok Mara camp. The accommodations were very comfortable and neat and clean. The food in all the lodges were very good. Special shout-out to the food in lake Naiwasha Sawela Lodge. Also, If you stay in Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge, do not miss the sunrise view from the room. It was breathtaking.
Special shout-out to Christopher - our driver and guide for all the days. He is the encyclopedia of knowledge related to wildlife and anything Kenya related. He is a very skilled driver and very skilled in spotting all kinds of wildlife. He is extremely polite and answers all your questions with incredible professionalism. We all loved him. Highly recommend to ask for him if you book through Native Afrika Voyages

Best Safari Tour Providers in Kenya - The most beautiful safari adventure in Kenya. Couldn't have asked for more. It was a beautifully planned trip by Melvin, David and team. Our driver John was really the best thing that happened to us. I would recommend everyone to book Native Afrika Voyages tour. Trust me, you won't regret it.

A holiday of a lifetime - What an amazing week! We've seen Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha and of course, the Massai Mara. David at Native Afrika arranged it perfectly and our guide, Chris , was brilliant; he was so knowledgeable and helpful and by the end of the week was definitely understanding the english sense of humour. We couldn't have had a better guide. We saw every animal, I think, and that was definitely thanks to him. I couldn't recommend this company more highly and will ensure I pass on the details to everyone I know.

Trip of a lifetime - highly recommend - Fantastic safari tour! The team was incredibly helpful and proactive in assisting us with trip preparation, both before and during our 5-day adventure. They were very accommodating when we decided to make some changes to our plan and provided excellent advice throughout.
Our guide Steve was great, helping us spot an amazing amount of animals during the trip. We saw so many animals, often multiple times!

Amazing Family 5 day Safari with NativeAfrika - A fantastic 5 Day Safari, across the 3 parks of Samburu, Naivasha and Masai Mara, organised by the wonderful David and his team at NativeAfrika. From the beginning, communication was great and a package was put together with the recommendations given, all of which were spot on. Being met personally by David at the start was a nice touch. Chris, our driver and guide, was terrific with my family throughout, very informative, always patient and happy to stop anytime for photos, comfort breaks etc.
The accommodation at all 3 parks were amazing. The Simba Lodge at Samburu was beautiful, and a personal greeting from the manager set the tone. Attentive and polite staff, they looked after all our needs. The Simba Lodge at Naivasha again was beautiful and had a lovely stay, especially with Zebras casually grazing outside your door! The best was saved until last, staying in Enka Kenya camp at Masai Mara. The setting was amazing, the whole family loved the tent, the most comfortable bed ever, clean bedding and towels. And all of the staff, led by Daniel, were so lovely and polite. Food was really good at the Simba Lodges, with lots of options at the Buffet restaurant. However, the meals offered at Enka were of the highest quality, every offering was delicious, big shout out the chef. And sitting out by the fire after dinner was so relaxing and in a beautiful setting. The only small blot against Enka is the Alcohol menu on offer, which was well overpriced. Both Simba Lodges were priced very well, whereas Enka had prices too high to justify the setting. That aside though, I could not praise the place highly enough and would highly recommend, was by far my family's favourite stay of the whole trip.
So many great moments at each park, big highlights were the picnic breakfast and rock pool at Samburu, the boat trip at Naivasha, the picnic lunch at Masai Mara. And everyone loved the Sundowner on the final evening, having a glass of wine while watching the gorgeous sunset.
Thanks again to David, Chris and the team for providing a professional service amd delivering on everything promised. The trip all went smoothly with no issues, the Landrover for the week was comfortable, water provided throughout. All our needs were met and then some. If you are looking to plan a Safari, as a family with young children, or as a couple, I would recommend to everyone to reach out to David at NativeAfrika.

An unforgettable and amazing safari - Native Afrika Voyage is a very professional travel agency.
We have temporarily decided to travel to Kenya on July 8th. 10 days before departure, we contacted Native, hoping that they could help arrange the trip. The response of the staff was prompt and professional. They help us plan our trip and book hotels very quickly. In such a short time, other travel agents told us that popular hotels were not available, but native did it! They booked some very nice hotels. We were glad to see no change in our hotel check-in after we arrived in Kenya. It also shows the professionalism of the Native.
We would like to recommend our guide, Antony.
He has a wealth of experience and driving skills. He arranged the whole trip reasonably and showed us as many animals as possible.
He would wipe the car clean every day. Every morning we were greeted by a clean and tidy car.
His eyesight is so good. He can see many animals that we can't find and point them out to us. Every day we will say many times "Wow, how did you find that!".
Antony also has a great knowledge of birds. He introduced us to many beautiful birds and we learned a lot.
He's so kind and so nice. We recommend Antony strongly. We play the game drive in a happy atmosphere every day.
Thank you Antony for the surprise of the last day, we will not forget the beautiful Mount Kilimanjaro.

Amazing Experience! - We went for a 5-day trip covering Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru. David and Maureen from Native Afrika ensured we had a smooth trip. They were extremely helpful and transparent about the whole process. They were quick to respond and eager to help us out before and during the trip. Our tour guide was Alex, who was extremely informative. Several times, he guided us to the amazing sights of the wildebeest crossing. He knew exactly how long to wait and where to see the animals.
At Maasai Mara, we stayed at the Mara Serena Lodge--a very beautiful property with breathtaking views of the savannah plains from top of a hill. At Lake Nakuru, we stayed at the Flamingo resort. Our suggestion would be to avoid this place, and instead opt for the ones inside the Lake Nakuru reserve.
Overall, we highly recommend David and his team at Native Afrika Voyages.

Perfect honeymoon on safari! - We had a great time on honeymoon with Native Afrikan Voyages! Our driver Cyrus was amazing. He knew how to find all the animals, including elephants, cheetahs, giraffes, hippos, lions, hyenas, rhinos, buffalo and even a leopard! He was also a great driver and fun to talk to. We liked our lodges (we stayed at Kibo, Sawela and Mara Simba), especially the food and seeing the local animals (just the small ones, no lions at the lodges). Mary, who organized our itinerary, was also very helpful and easy to communicate with.
