In particular the large bull elephants have some of the largest tusks in the animal kingdom. Also to be spotted are ample herds of buffalo, wildebeest, zebra and impala, as well as giraffes and warthog. With all this variety you can be sure a healthy population of predators also call Amboseli home. Lions, leopards, caracals, cheetahs, jackals, hyenas and serval cats are all frequently seen in the park.

It was a though but fantastic tour to mount longonot. We walked about 3 hours to see the crater, some animals and the beautiful nature. After that we spent some relaxing time at the boat trip at lake naivasha, and see some hippo's, birds and zebra's. Driver Sammy and guide Peter were 2 excellent and professional persons who make you're day more better. They're also very helpful, respectful and friendly. I recomment this tour to everyone who loves the nature!

We had an absolutely amazing time and it was a breathtaking and wonderful experience. To be honest I think everybody should do a safari once in their lifetime! And if you can, you should definitely do that with Shoor Travel! Right from the start we have been in contact with Jane, who assisted us in organizing everything. As you can imagine we had a ton of questions, especially as my partner and I (36&32) were travelling with my parents (61&77) and wanted to ensure we have a very smooth trip. Jane was super patient, always very professionell and helpful and really a true angel. We cannot thank her enough. Jane is amazing! We were 6 days on the road with our driver guide John. He was an incredibly awesome, kind and knowledgeable guide, we had so much fun with him and the whole family enjoyed every minute of the tour. He is a really great guy and we appreciate him so very much! Furthermore we were soooo happy about the cozy bus with comfortable seats and pop up roof. We got into one of the Jeeps for the Balloon Safari and... Yes they do look nice and kind of super safari fancy but they are incredibly uncomfortable and everybody was happy to get into "our bus" afterwards. So please please keep those busses. We also added a few extra activities like the mentioned Baloon safari in Masai mara, a boat safari at lake Naivasha, a Massai village Visit and everything was perfectly organized. Furthermore the recommended hotels were simply amazing. We absolutely loved Serena Amboseli lodge and also liked the Lake Naivasha Country Club very much. The booked Kekooro Lodge in Masai Mara was not our favorite, but this has to do with the hotels very poor management and policy regarding drivers and guides, but this is a complete other story and has nothing to do with Shoor travel. To keep a long story short and wrap this up. We can only say THANK YOU Jane, THANK YOU John and thank you shoor travel for a once in a lifetime experience. If we ever have the chance to come to do a Safari again we will definitely book with you!

We had a wonderful 4 day safari to Amboseli with Charles! Our guide (Charles) was great--very knowledgeable, friendly, an excellent driver, and a joy to have on our vacation! The vehicle was solid and the company made everything very easy for us! They booked the hotel in Amboseli (Serena), arranged all of the logistics, picked us up and dropped us off in Nairobi, and the head office checked in throughout the trip to make sure everything was going smoothly. I highly recommend Natural World Safaris!

I used Jemu Mwenda Expeditions last time I was in Kenya 2019. I was travelling on my own and got my own private tour for 2 weeks. If you want something completely genuine and unique, this is the company for you. James is extremely knowledgeable and is clearly very passionate about the animals and the environment. While on tour you won’t just see the incredible sorroundings, you will also learn a lot about how everything connects. We also stayed in sustainable eco-camps as sustainable tourism is something very close to James’ heart. My tour was completely custom tailored to my interests and needs and he definitely understood what kind of experience I was after. I felt safe at all times, and the service was very professional. I can’t recommend it enough. If you want that personal, genuine, almost intimate experience with nature, as well as knowing that you’re doing it in the most sustainable way possible, this is the company to choose.

To anyone looking for a tour operator for your Kenya safari, look no further. Explorer Kenya, Robert, was a true pleasure to work with. At times I felt sorry for him since I've made many changes to our itinerary, but Robert always promptly made adjustments and recommendations where neccecary. All this at the best price I've seen. Therefore, the bitter taste when I had to cancel due to covid situation was even worse. The flexibility Explorer Kenya is what is needed in these strange times. Once I cancelled our trip, the refund had been on my account in less than 2 days. Absolutely amazing. I am so looking forward to the day when we can travel to Kenya worry free and I will most certainly contact Robert, and no one else. Excellent job Explorer Kenya! Thank you!

Kevin gave me and my parents an amazing tour of Kibera. We met his family and friends and got firsthand information on what life is like in Kibera. Everyone we encountered was very friendly. I recommend Kevin’s tour to everyone who visits Nairobi. By booking this tour you are not only visiting Kibera, you are also helping out the Kibera residents because Kevin puts that money into local projects to help his neighbors and community. Thank you Kevin!!!

We did the 3 day Private Maasai Safari tour. Our tour guy Joel exceeded our expectations and so much more. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the land. I was able to get some amazing pictures that look like post card. He has so much passion and love for the animals. I learn more from him than I did at the zoo. You can tell he really love his job and it shows. Our safety was Joel number one priority. I felt safe at all time. Thank you Joel for being so patience when we was shopping . He never rush us, or told us to hurry up. He let us shop to we drop. I definitely recommend Joel as your tour guide you’ll have so much fun and learn so much with great photos to show all your friends. Thanks for the trip of a lifetime. I have so many great memories and I’ll definitely will be back!
