Gracepat was an amazing safari experience on a decent budget that I recommend to all my friends and travel groups. What made it even more special was Kelvin, our guide. He is a professional, very knowledgeable, poly, people caring and always striving to make us happy and exceed our expectation. He loves and respects the nature and he knows everithing about wildlife. He knows all the animals, birds and all about the african culture. There was no question we asked that he did not know the answer. He is also an expert driver in all types of terrain, starting from the wet and muddy conditions to the dry ones. Incredible Safary Experience :) !

Wonderful View of the Great Rift Valley,8 Km Hike and Bird Watching. A great way to keep fit and improve your fitness level. A good must do thrill. Pickup from the Hotel at 6:00am and head to Mt. Longonot as the sun is rising from the floor of the Great Rift Valley, like a monolith is the extinct volcano of Mount Longonot. Arrive at Mt.

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!

I was lucky enough to find Julius of Wasili Kenya Safaris and I am so very glad I did. I have traveled to two parks with him including Nairobi National Park and Amboseli National Park on a different trip. After my first trip with Julius, I realized what an incredible and knowledgeable safari guide he was and was lucky enough to book with him an overnight trip to Amboseli. He knew everything answer to every question I had, he knew where to find the animals and where they would be at dawn and dusk. Julius always position his vehicle so that I would have the best view and photo opportunity. I have amazing photographs and fantastic memories of these trips, thanks to Julius. Needless to say, I highly recommend him and Wasili and can’t wait to return to Kenya to travel with Julius again. Thank you Julius for an trip, I will never forget.

Half day Nairobi National Park game tour and giraffe sanctuary, organised through Peter, with driver Alex. A wonderful experience, picked up promptly, safe driver and vehicle, knowledgeable.and knew where to find the animals. The various drivers stopped to tell each other where the sightings were, so we even managed to spot the group of 8 lions, which were breathtaking. Also stopped at the giraffe sanctuary and a Masai restaurant for lunch. Thoroughly recommend.

I had grand plans on arrival in Kenya to do a couple of the One Horizon tours, however had issues with their booking system only booking for the day after tomorrow. This led to phone calls with owner-operator Colin, who was able to accomodate me with both tours I wanted in a half-day personalised tour. I was met by Carol at my hotel and travelled to meet mothers with HIV thriving thanks to a two-year rehabilitation program that teaches them trade and entrepreneurial skills so they can set up their own business to support their families. There I also met Solomon (and Colin, briefly) and together we travelled on to meet two grandmothers thriving off pig-farming and able to support their families for the first time in their lives. I honestly could write tons about these experiences, but I will keep it to this: being a development graduate, I know what good charity and bad charity looks like. Colin gets in there and asks what is needed in the community and then makes it happen. The programs come from the community and the community thrives because of it. This is charity at its best. All of the women but particularly the warm hospitality shown by the grandmothers and Carol and Solomon over a lunch we made together, hearing stories about Kenyan life, the struggles, was probably the single best tourism experience I ever had. Carol and Solomon answered every question I had and then some, and I felt so inspired by their hard work and dedication. Travelling for another two months across Africa this tour remained my number one experience and takeaway of what Africa is. I cannot recommend One Horizon highly enough.

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!

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!
