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 :) !

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 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!

After my tea plantation tour was cancelled due to the lockdown, the company made a suggestion to spend the day around Nairobi. Chris picked me up. What a fine young man he is! We went the the giraffe centre, beads factory and Karen museum. After that we had a great lunch. We drove via a slumb back to the hotel. Thank you for making a plan. I had a great day!!
