Incredible time, top notch guide - After some hiccups at the start, we met Ben our amazing tour guide for our 3 day Masai Mara safari trip. Ben engaged us starting from the journey from Nairobi to the lodge with fun Kenya facts and history. Once at the safari - Ben worked to ensure we had exactly the experience we wanted: going the distance to find certain animals, getting us picture perfect placements and freelancing as a photographer as needed. He taught us the basics of Swahili and enamored us with information about the animals and the Maasai people. We stayed at the Mara Simba Lodge where we experienced great service and decent food. Overall, a wonderful trip and so grateful to have come in a slower time when we experienced amazing views of the animals, the incredible hospitality of Ben and the Mara Simba and relatively few crowds. Overall, highly recommend.

Best experience ever!! - I was planning to do a safari trip with my wife, but I was not sure how it may turn out. After a long research, I contacted with Faith from Natural World. She was so helpful and she answered all my questions quickly and precisely. We created an eight day trip and from arrival to departure everything was so smooth, we haven’t encountered any issues. Our safari guide Prince was very professional and knowledgable about the areas and animals. He gave us lots of interesting information about the animals, and thanks for his quick quizzes we never forget what he taught us :D. Overall it was a one of a kind journey and I would definitely recommend Natural World Kenya Safaris for unforgettable memories. Thank you so much!

Maasai Mara Safari - I had a very good experience visiting the Maasai Mara with Natural World Kenya Safaris. I was fortunate to see nearly every animal in the park--the only one that escaped us was the leopard. My guide Michael was very knowledgable of the the animals and the park itself. The lodging at the Jambo Mara Safari Lodge, while not inside the park, was really wonderful. Each room is a private villa that overlooks the wilderness. I had two frustrations, and one was totally out of Natural World's control. That one was a recent policy change at the park limits permits to 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.. As a result of that, we did not go into the park on the first day of the safari as it was not cost-effective to spend $80 on a permit for just a few hours in the late afternoon. Instead, I visited a local Maasai Village for $20, which I very much enjoyed. However, I would've certainly preferred to see the park instead. The second frustration was on the first day inside the park (day two), my guide seemed in a big hurry to leave the park. We were out of the park by 4:45, so it was well before 6 p.m. After we failed on a leopard search in the mid-afternoon, he made it clear we were taking the main road to get out and were not really going to stop for any animals. The second day, however, he was much less in a hurry and we stayed into the early afternoon. Overall, it was a really good experience and I was very pleased with the lodging, the guide, and the animals we saw.
