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 :) !

Five generations have lived on the farm and it is currently run by his granddaughter Fiona Vernon. The farm house is set within beautiful gardens surrounded by acres of tea and indigenous forest – home to the Colobus monkey and plenty of other wildlife.

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 amazing experience it was once in a lifetime kind of experience. The weather was soo beautiful and pleasant and animals freely roaming around the hotels(ones which are not harmful) like deers, zebra, etc the views from each of our hotels were so beautiful and peaceful. You can get good 8 hours sleep without any interruptions so calm and surreal. Where do i even get started on the safari, We went for mostly 2half days and one full day safari in low season and still we got to see all the animals like lion and leopard with their whole family and so up close it was like watch national geographic in reality we also got to see the hunt of deer by leopard. We are vegetarian people and still didn’t encounter any issues for our food amazing menu and service from each hotel. Special thanks to our experienced driver would highly recommend to get him, his name was Vincent and was truly a delight to meet him. He took us to all the locations where there were high chances of animals and we would definitely find there he was really hard working and tried his best to fulfil our every wish we are soo thankful for all the organisation done by the tour operator Ashwin and the guide(Vincent) provided by them.

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.

This tour is suitable for people who would like to learn the history of coffee farming in kenya fWhile Coffee was introduced into Kenya in 1893, the first crop of Karunguru Coffee was planted in 1928 by a British family known as the Glassfords before Kenya received its independence from the British government.
