This trip was in the top 3 of my whole life! It was so fabulous from the organization to the safari drives to the hotels and all of the staff-especially our driver Ahmed! Smartours is the best tour company ever and they did not disappoint! The hot air balloon ride was the icing on the cake!! We’ll worth the money spent!

Our group have problems regarding dollar bill to pay anywhere even hotels. They want in perfect condition no tear, no ink marking even tiny, must be almost crisp no folding mark. And a couple of the hotels in the game park the electricity is being cut off a certain time. We did not know this at all. The tour director did not alert us ahead of time. I am very disappointed and everyone else.

Hi Rizalito. We're sorry to hear you are disappointed. You are correct in that such requirements should be included in our tour documentation prior to departure for those not aware. We are in the midst of updating all documentation to ensure a smoother trip for all. Thank you for traveling with us.

Fantastic trip! I just did not care for The Ark, because my room smelled bad and the bed was too small.

Excellent value for the cost of the trip! Our guide, Abi, has to be the best game guide in all of Kenya! We saw every animal (and more) than expected. The hotels were wonderful, especially in Masai Mara which was the highlight of the trip. Truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience.. I would do it again in a minute! Our group was 7 people.. a perfect number, as we were not crowed in the jeeps, and were treated so well. Unforgettable!

Oh my goodness, What a fabulous trip. We enjoyed the diversity of areas visited and the numbers and close proximity of the wildlife viewed. Our guides were fantastic, accommodations good especially considering that we were out in the middle of nowhere, the lodges beautiful and when you consider the cost vs what we received it was an excellent value. This trip was not for someone who grows weary of driving as there is a lot of that, but because we traveled to 4 different preserves/areas all across Kenya, driving is a part of it. I feel like we saw more, did more and experienced a greater variety of wildlife than we would have with a trip that only features 1 or 2 areas. The added experiences of visiting the Samburu and Masai tribes and the amazing hot air balloon ride were valuable and not to be missed. I will cherish this trip forever.

Just returned from my Kenyan Safari; a 'once-in-a-lifetime' must. Special thanks, and compliments, to both Ferdinand and Francis- both excellent, professional and personable guides- for their help in making this trip so informative and memorable.
