Based on 53 reviewsVerified Solo Trip to Masaimara, Lake Nakuru & Samburu “It was such a wonderful experience with this Company. Ken is a wonderful guy he organised ecmomic safari trips for Masaimara, Lake Nakuru and Samburu!!!” I have spotted all big 5 & I highly recommend this company!” UtkarshVerified Best Safari from Kenya to Tanzania Kikwetu provided us the best experience of SAFARI, from Maasai mara to Serengeti, Ndutu and Ngorongoro. We spent 8-days and 7-nights together, during which we took a lot of amazing pictures with the help of two professional and capable guides. Of course they almost knew everything on the grassland so they could always find the animals we’d like to ‘chase’ smoothly. I thought everything was excellent including accommodations, foods, vehicles, and the most important, people with us.Kikwetu为我们提供了SAFARI的最佳体验,从马赛马拉到塞伦盖蒂、恩杜图和恩戈罗戈罗。我们在一起度过了8天7夜,在两位专业能干的导游的帮助下,我们拍了很多令人惊叹的照片。当然,他们几乎知道草原上的一切,所以他们总能顺利地找到我们想要“追逐”的动物。我觉得一切都很好,包括住宿、食物、车辆,最重要的是,还有和我们在一起的人。 xhJinVerified Amazing experience Safari ans Beach Kenneth organised a 14 days beach and safari vacation for us. He is very professional and always looks after his clients. The Safari was amazing. We saw so many animals and the landscape is beautiful and the lodges were great. Two times we could see elephants drinking from our beds!Livingston our driver was very funny and knew the animals very well. He was also very kind and respectful to nature and animals. Everything was perfect! We will definitely book with Kikwetchu again and can definitely recommend it. Simone SVerified Welch’s and Fox’s safari An absolutely superb experience. From the booking process onwards. Kenneth from Kikwetu gave his fullest attention to our requests, changes and tweaks to the itinerary leading to us having an unforgettable Safari. Sharif, our driver and guide for the duration of the holiday, picked us up at the airport and was with us all the way until dropping us back at the airport. He was always sympathetic to our needs, and was very flexible and accommodating with requests and changes to our itinerary.We had superb encounters with so much spectacular wildlife!Kikwetu set up a specific route and accommodations for our budget and what we wanted to see.I could not recommend them enough! African Safari, choose Kikwetu, you will not be disappointed! Nick WVerified Kenya Trip with Family We planned to go to Kenya in 2020 and contacted Ken of Kikwetu Cultural Adventures late 2019 and early 2020 and paid advance. COVID put a big spanner in our plans. Ken kept us informed about what is happening in Kenya during COVID and he encouraged us to restart the process in 2023. Finally after a long wait of three years we went to Kenya and had amazing experience. Ken and team took care of everything and it was flawless and delightful experience. Ken is very easy to work with and he is flexible and resourceful. I added one extra day in Nairobi to see Nairobi National park and he worked out details in the last minute. We went as family and each one of use had a great experience. I know this is a family trip but photographer in me want to give this feedback. Ken should give a guide who appreciates timing for light and have patience to stay at one place to get the right shot. Overall our family trip went really well and I want to thank Ken for patiently working with us since 2019, keeping us informed and motivating us to take the trip in 2023. He and his team gave us amazing experience. Tips:1) Since we had less time, we skipped Amboseli and went to Nakuru and Naivasha. After seeing pictures our friend took in Amboseli, we realized the mistake we made. Prioritize Amboseli over Naivasha. Don't skip Amboseli. 2) Be prepared for long safari rides. This is not a zoo. It is a game. Enjoy the waiting, anticipation and chase. It is totally worth it. 3) You need 400 MM to 500 MM lenses with good stabilization for taking good pictures. 4) Don't worry about food. Veg and Non Veg options are plenty at each resort. 5) Book in advance and get hotel in Masai Mara Triangle if possible. 6) Finally go with Ken and Team. They are just awesome. Pls see my pictures. I want to come back to Kenya for Amboseli and Masai Mara crossing. Vacation07818580554Verified Anniversary trip We hired them for 3 days for several excursions plus places I just wanted to see.
