Highly Recommend! - My contact at the company, Liz, was really FABULOUS. Kept in contact with me by WhatsApp during my long trip from USA to Nairobi, just in case my flights were delayed. I really appreciated that. Also adjusted the pick-up time, so I could have time for breakfast beforehand. The driver was also very good. Punctual, friendly, informative. The visit to Hell's Gate was also very good, with animals and interesting geology. Would highly recommend.

I had a beautiful experience. Visited the national park and Hells gate. Both were highly enlightening and educative! - My arrival as a first time visitor to Kenya had a good welcome from my pickup driver (Kelvin). He not only drove, but took time to explain the country, the routes and culture. Kelvin is a great driver and company.
Enjoyed every bit of the experience at Hells gate. My driver (Sam) was punctual, professional, friendly and very very helpful. He made every bit of my tour a delightful experience. He was a total delight. Played Nigerian music on the way to give us a feel of home , went out of his way to provide us with WIFI on the trip, and even helped us bargain at the markets.
I greatly applaud Sam and recommend him a 100times.

You have to live this experience ! - Me and my friend did a safari with Alex, it was one of our best experiences. He took care to show us everything that interested us, to make stops as long as we wanted and all that with a lot of explanations and an incredible good mood! We saw rhinos, giraffes, crocodiles, hippopotamus, buffaloes, antelopes, lion... And especially A BABY LION. Thank you very much for this moment, it was incredible.
