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.

Warm welcome by the staffs. We arrive early and had a photo session at garden. Perfect for weddings and private functions.Our tour guide was a lady by the name Irene. Ooh she was wonderful! She was keen and answered to all curiosity. The coffee tasting was brilliant, I love to do that once again. And this is the place you need to find out why cows ???? ???? ????, yes cows need mattresses to sleep on. The tour took about two-to-three hours. An afternoon well spent.

Hells Gate Park and Lake Naivasha is definitely worth a visit! Simba was a great guide and drove us first to a viewpoint where we had an amazing view over the Great Rift Valley. After that we went to the Hells Gate National Park where we made a bike and walking tour through the park with another guide while seeing a lot of animals. Later we went to Lake Naivasha where we could eat some lunch and go on a boat ride. It was also a fantastic experience, seeing many bird and hippos really close. I would totaly recommend this day trip and Bush Pumba Safaris as we were able to see a lot of things in just one day and the tour was very well organised!

We had a 2 night 3 day safari and were so pleased with all aspects of it! We had 5 game drives over this time which we thought were great. Our guide, Geoffrey, was very good at spotting all the animals, including lions, elephants, giraffe, wildebeast and many more. He was very informed about all of the names of birds too. The bus was comfortable too. Would definitely recommend! Thank you for a wonderful trip.
