Safari Bookings Reviews

“Wonderful, personalized safari experience”

I recently completed a safari with them. Despite the relatively tight turnaround time, they delivered an amazing safari that exceeded my expectations. As this was my first safari, I had numerous questions, all of which were answered quickly and expertly and gave me comfort in using them. As said elsewhere they are not a large operation, but this allows a level of personal service – Meshack met us at the airport, and also at other points throughout the trip to check in and see how things were going.

I would highlight that the best guide to the quality of an organization is how it responds when things don’t go as planned – we were caught out in the rain in the middle of the Maasai Mara and unable to return to our lodge (someone who tried wound up stuck in the middle of the river and had to swim to safety – credit to our guide for knowing when to cross and when not to), Meshack arranged for alternate lodging for the evening in a charming little camp (zebra camp) even though the camp was closed as they had no guests that evening.

Meshack also did a wonderful job of sourcing excellent guides – the guides we had for Amboseli (Steven) and Maasai Mara (Benson) were very knowledgeable and helped us get the most out of our trip. We were able to see all the animals we had wanted to see, and even got to see a live kill up close.

In summary, they are excellent at what they do, and will go out of their way to ensure one has a wonderful safari experience. Definitely recommend.

“Well organized trip to Maasai Mara in April”

Me and girlfriend went on a lovely trip in Maasai Mara. We were a little bit unsure how it would be to on safari during the rain season, though we didn’t see all of the big 5 and not the huge hordes of wild beast we saw lots of beautiful animals and lots of lions. One good thing about going in march/april is that we had the possibility to see baby lions, incredible cute!

Staying at basecamp were also a fantastic experience! If you are going there, make sure to ask for the Obama Tent it is just lovely!

“Very Exciting and Perfect”

Me and my dad went on a 11 night tour in Kenya with Alligator Adventures Tours & Safaris from 23rd August to 2nd September.
We had a very good experience in regards to everything. As I had cleared the purpose/objective of my trip is Photography i got a very nice support from Meshack as he provided me an excellent tour guide Daniel who was a photography enthusiast himself and also had knowledge not only of wildlife but also gave insights on Kenya as a whole. He would exactly know the frames a photographer would like to shoot and also the exact timing of what would happen when. WE spotted all the big five and also some other good stuff like raptors and other birds.
All the hotels provided were of excellent quality. Especially loved the Naivasha and bogoria resort as they were the best to chill off.

Thanks to Alligator Adventures Tours & Safaris for making my kenya tour a memorable one. Looking forward to associate with you more in the years to come

“Well planned!”

Meshack ensured that our Safari family holiday was well planned. Right from the very start all aspects of the itinerary were kept flexible and as per our request. Highly recommend to request for Daniel as your driver and Stanley as your guide in Masai Mara

“Best Trip !”

“Best safari experience”

From the first email communication, I knew they wanted to provide the best service for us. They provided us with many options that suited whatever budget we had and modified anything we asked for. Meshack, the tour organizer.
emailed us very promptly every time and was keen to answer all our questions.

Then we met our driver, Steve. He is just brilliant and I would highly recommend you request him as your tour guide. The loveliest, friendlies man who made sure we had such a wonderful trip every day. He is very knowledgeable about all animals and the places we visited in Kenya. He made the trip so much more interesting and fun. This really was a trip of a lifetime and the success of the trip was all down to this tour company and Steve.

The professionalism and organization of this company is fantastic and enabled us to book last minute and know that everything would be taken care of. All we needed to do was enjoy the trip with no worries at all.

Thank you Meshack and Steve for the best trip that will stay in our memories forever.

“Very well organised safari tour operator in Kenya”

We did a 6-day safari tour in Kenya with 2 children (aged 9 and 10) organized by Alligator adventures and it was a very nice experience. First contact with the management was nice and efficient. We could tailor one of their tour according to our taste. Once in Kenya, everything went according to the plan. Our driver was very professional and friendly. He was a good tracker as well and, thanks to its perseverance and experience, we could see a lot of animals (among which the big five). We had asked for a land rover vehicle and we didn’t regret it as we could use all the small and sometimes chaotic roads to remote places in the parks where we could spot some of the rarest animals. The accommodations in the different lodges and camps they suggested were really nice and we always got family rooms (or tents) as we requested. Due to weather circumstances, some small adjustments were made in a efficient manner by our point of contact in the agency and well explained in advance. Our flight back home departed very late on the last day of our tour and the driver arranged an extra game drive before we left the Masai Mara NP and we could finally see a leopard thanks to that. He could also arrange a diner at Le Carnivore famous restaurant in Nairobi before he dropped us at the airport. There were really no flaws in the organisation and we all had a really great time in Kenya thanks to them.

“Reliable, knowledgeable, friendly, accommodating company – our trip lived up to and above expectation”

What an amazing holiday. Everything went smoothly, Meshack and Josef were very welcoming, we did loads in Nairobi I hadn’t expected to do which was a lovely surprise – Josef was very knowledgable throughout and flexible to take us wherever we wanted to go. The travel to the Masai Mara was excellent – our driver (Kirore – spelling?) there was very accommodating and also knowledgeable. We stayed at Governors & Little Governors – such helpful, polite, friendly staff, blown away (pun intended) by the balloon safari, the sites of both are perfect, everything very clean, all needs accommodated for. I travelled to Kenya 25 years ago and I do not remember there being such large groups of animals, we saw all the ‘Big 5’ bar the rhino which is very impressive for only 3 days in the Masai Mara! The animals all look healthy too – whatever the reserve are doing it is working! A fantastic time has by all – do I recommend Meshack and his company – absolutely yes!
