“Alex was an amazing tour guide. This was supposed to be a group tour but no one else was booked on- Alex kindly ran the tour for me anyway alone. Alex was so knowledgable about the animals and I felt super safe from the minute I was picked up to the minute I was dropped off in the evening. Amboseli is a beautiful national park- well worth the long drive from Nairobi. I had an amazing time. Thank you Alex for the great day. I would highly recommend you to book this tour with this company, everything was so well communicated.”

“This tour was great for a day trip whilst travelling for work. Danson, my guide, was very knowledgeable and friendly, ensuring i had everything I needed to feel comfortable. Due to distances the game drive happens in the middle of the day so you are less likely to spot many animals due to the heat. If you are travelling for a longer time I would recommend spending a few days on Amboseli so that you can do a morning and evening drive if you want to see the big cats. I’d done quite a few safaris before (including the Masai Mara) so wasn’t as concerned about this and we did…”

“Die Fahrt war lang..aber das weiß man ja vorher... Unser Fahrer..Peter..war leider sehr lustlos...der ganze Ausflug verlief leider nicht so wie beschrieben... Das Observatorium wurde nicht von ihm angefahren...ebenso gab es keine Mittagspause im Park...bis wir uns umsehen waren wir wieder am Gate..dort baten wir den Fahrer wenigstens anzuhalten damit wir auf die Toilette könnten. Auf Anfrage hieß es dann wir gegen später essen....erst das Masai-Dorf. War ganz interessant..aber einmal reicht. Die Sachen dort werden maßlos überteuert verkauft meiner Meinung nach...aber wenn man das Dorf damit unterstützt....ok . Danach ging's weiter...und um 15.30 gab's dann endlich etwas zu essen für uns Wenn...”

“This was one of the best adventures ever, the park exceeded our expectations and the tour duration was pleasantly satisfactory full hours of going to every corner of the park to see everything. The tour guide was also good and did exceptionally well in spotting lions (which is considered rare). However, it is important to note that the car used could be better and the roads to the park are mostly bumpy. It is also dusty so bring something to cover your head and nose.”
