We took 2 days safari in Amboseli National Park, it was an amazing experience with great guides. We discussed with Peter, via phone and e-mail about every detail of the trip without any hesitation. Our guides, Edward and John were adaptable, responsive, with a true passion for making our journey as delightful as possible. Highly recommended!!

I took a tour on my birthday and because of Covid I was the only participant. My driver and tour guide name was Simba. He was very knowledgeable and elastic if it comes to my ideas. He's also a great driver! We've been to giraffe centre and, because elephant orphanage was closed, Simba took me to another place, Bomas of Kenya with no extra charge. It was a great day! I can highly recommend Africa Best Tours, the company name is accurate!

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!

People should know that the elephant orphanage has been closed for a year. This fact isn't mentionned on the advertisement. You also have to pay extra if you want to be dropped of at the airport. In the end, you pay 50 USD for a ride to the museum and the Giraffe Center. The company should clearly inform clients that the elephant orphanage is closed and adapt the price of the trip, or think about another activity to offer to clients.
