I highly recommend

What to do - Great! To do if possible. The prices charged by the hotel are very high. There are providers in town that are more affordable

Genial - Magnificent safari we take full eyes our guide listening and very helpful it was a great time to spend with family discovering the local flora and fauna the simon operator is kind answers quickly to our questions I recommend without hesitation

An amazing impression! - Kenia 2025 safari Siketi was an amazing driver. He wanted us to see as many Animals as possible that day. Overall an amazing trip that I highly recommend!

Amazing Safari - The safari was amazing and we really enjoyed it. Francis was an amazing guide and also just very fun, knowledgable and engaging to chat to throughout the trip. He was determined for us to see all the animals possible on the day and also had binoculars for us to see the lions which weren’t too visible by the road through the Park. Overall, amazing trip and would highly recommend. Vehicle was also great.

Delightful - Our one-day safari to Tsavo East National Park was absolutely incredible! Even though it was just a day trip, we saw so much — elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even lions lounging under acacia trees. The vast savannah landscapes and red-dust roads gave us that true wild Africa vibe. Our guide was super knowledgeable and had eagle eyes — spotting animals we would’ve missed. He shared fascinating facts about the wildlife and made the whole trip engaging and fun. We had a delicious packed lunch near a watering hole where we could watch animals coming in for a drink. It was such a peaceful and surreal moment. If you’re short on time but still want to experience Kenya’s wild side, I highly recommend the Tsavo East Day Trip. It’s perfect for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone looking to escape the city and soak in the beauty of the wild.

Transport broke down at the start of the day but ultimately we did see lions - I booked this trip in February. A few days before we were due to go I read a review saying someone else had been on the trip and their transport broken down at the start of the day and they were stranded for 6 hours. This really worried me and I emailed the company seeking assurances, which they gave. Had they not given these I would have cancelled the trip as I still had time to get a refund. On the morning of the trip our transport was 30minutes late in arriving, not necessarily a big deal, but more of a big deal when we had to get up at 4am and would have appreciated an extra 30mins sleep. Before our transport arrived the message I was given was that he would be 5 minutes late because he had problems getting on the ferry. When our transport did arrive he told us the delay was due to a flat tyre, which he continued to fix at the hotel. I again expressed my concern at the van breaking down and was again given assurances and felt like I was being unreasonable afterwards. I felt somewhat aggrieved that the person who gave me the message originally had been dishonest about the reason for and length of the delay. It took us only 2 hours to get to the stop off toilet break/restaurant which is 10 mins away from the park, which was impressive (in contrast it took us 4 hours to get back - from Diani Beach). There we were fleeced for gifts as is usual but this had nothing to do with the tour operators. Shortly before entering the park again we were fleeced by people selling overpriced hats but when someone tells you they need money to feed their family, it’s hard to argue with that. Someone more forthright can just say no. I guess I’m just a soft touch. But again this fleecing is not in the control of the tour operators. Our original guide was knowledgeable and kind and I was looking forward to spending the day with him. We managed to see elephants almost immediately after entering the park but I would say within 20 minutes of entry our van had broken down. Thankfully we had been travelling in convoy so another van being not too far away could pick us up. But from what I can gather our original guide was stranded there in a poor signal area waiting for a tow for some time and I did feel really bad for him. We ended up joining two different vans during the day. A very kind family and couple let us join them at different times. Out of the 3 groups travelling with this company today that paid for a private tour, none of them got it due to the breakdown. Ultimately we did see lions which was great. Although I was a bit concerned that one of the guides was going to speed by a herd of zebras as he hadn’t seen them due to being on his phone and we had to ask him to stop. The guides were generally really good and I don’t really have any complaints. I have no idea if the guides are the same people that own this company (they are calling themselves “explorer” to the checkpoint staff in the park), but whoever owns this company needs to take a serious look at the roadworthyness of their fleet of vehicles. We were lucky as we travelled in convoy. Had we not, we could have been stranded all day. That would have literally ruined my entire holiday. So until this company gives their vehicles some attention, I think you’re taking a risk of getting stranded and missing your safari.

Nice trip shame about the transport - Kenya has poor infrastructure so be prepared for a rough journey to the park and driving standards that will shock most europeans. This wasnt helped by the awful condition of the minivan that transported us and took us around the park. To start with it was grubby in the extreme, it smelled strongly of diesel/petrol fumes, the seat belt in the 1st seat I sat in wouldnt work, I used another seat and that seat belt wouldnt retract so there was 3/4 inches of slack, which seemed rather pointles. When I later tried to open the side sliding door it was stuck and on every occasion had to be opened from the outside, that was very concerning should there be a bad accident or worse, a fire. On the return journey with temperatures in the early 30's I was informed there was no air conditioning so it was an uncomfortable 3 hour journey. Inside the park as expected we were travelling on dirt roads, not meant for a mini van, I expected a rough ride but a 4x4 would have been far more appropriate. We actually got stuck at one point for about 45 mins to an hour and had to be pulled out. I felt for the driver/guide who did his best to get us free but had to resort to a tow out from another vehicle. The guide was great and did his utmost to find game for us, to the extent that we finished later than anticipated as he searched for elephants. Visitors should be prepared for disappointment as far as wildlife is concerned, Tsavo is apparently the largest park in Africa and obviously the search for animals is constrained by their proximity to the roads through it. I have visited Kruger and Etosha in the past and seen much more game than on this trip. The vehicle we had was in the poorest condition I observed of all the others I came across, I would strongly urge tour companies to take safety more seriously, whilst travelling in poorer countries you might expect substandard roads and erratic driving, I would expect a vehicle fit for purpose.

Car breakdown, spent most of the time waiting in a lodge - The old nissan van broke down early, at 10:20am, forcing our group of 4 (3 kids and grandfather) to wait for relief for 6 hours at a nearby lodge inside the park. The "full day" safari was thereby reduced into mostly long road transport from Diani to Tsavo and return. Boring and dissappointing, paticularly for the kids. However, we saw a few animals on our tour into and out of the park. Such things happens, and we do not blame the driver, we think he did do what he could do, but rater the company for poorly maintained car and no backup for stranded tourists. We were offered a ten percent refund, but as the park fees were not included in the trip price, the refund was much less of the total cost. Tips: Assure with the operator that you do not get an old car, and preferably a Prado built for the rough roads in Tsavo. Our landlord told me that we should have expected a Prado for that price, not an old Nissan. If the trip is to be an once-in-the-lifetime experience, spend an overnight trip so you do not risk waiting for car repair most of the time.

Too expensive and giude/ driver was not interesed in giving a good time. - Driver was 40 mminutes late. Smells of alcohol. On the way to Tsavo East he takes an additional 60 minutes break. Can't recommend this safari with TripAdvisor. I have not seen so few ties on the Dafari and the trip is definitely too expensive.
