An unforgettable Safari Experience - From start to finish, my safari trip with Namnyak Tours and Safaris in Kenya was nothing short of extraordinary. The entire journey was seamlessly organized, and every detail was handled with such professionalism that I felt completely at ease throughout the trip. The tour guides were outstanding—knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They went above and beyond to make sure every moment was special, answering our endless questions with patience and sharing insights that brought the wildlife and landscapes to life. Their warmth and hospitality made us feel like more than just guests; it felt like traveling with friends who truly cared about our experience. The safari itself was breathtaking. From spotting the Big Five to witnessing the vast beauty of the savannah at sunrise, every day offered moments that will stay with me forever. It was the experience of a lifetime, and I can’t imagine having done it with anyone other than Namnyak Tours and Safaris. If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, look no further—this is the company that will turn your dream into reality. Highly recommended!

Definitely recommend!! - I had a great time during our Safari and we were so lucky to be able to spot the big 5. Richard made sure we got the most out of this experience and gave us a lot of information about the animals names, characteristics and habits. It was a very unique experience and it exceeded my expectations. We went to giraffe center, masai mara, mamba village and lake naivasha and much more during a span of 6 days. We enjoyed every bit of it greatly and would definitely recommend it to anyone!

Our journey was exciting, both because of the Masai Mara safari & seeing the lifestyle of the Masai people. - With my cousins brother and sister, we just back our 3-day safari in the Masai Mara. And we can proudly say that Namnyak Tours and Safaris was our right choice and provided the best service. Our first day with Kasaine & the day was a warm-up, with giraffes, buffalo, and plenty of antelope, very excited and we enjoyed. Clevers was a very good driver and Kasaine our tour guide, He just awesome lot of experienced. 2nd day blew us away-a full-day drive where we saw lions, elephants, and even a leopard lounging in a tree. Every moment we felt new thrilling. As planned, we went to visit the Masai Mara village on the last day. And we were really amazed by the traditions, culture and daily life of the people there. And it was nice that they warmly invited us and welcomed us as soon as we got there. We were impressed by their hospitality. The unbreakable connection between the people of Kenya and the nature and wildlife there is truly beautiful. We will cherish this beauty as our memories.

Our 3 day Masai Mara & 4 day Tanzania Safari With Clevers Was Special - Kenya and Tanzania offered us the best of Africa’s wilderness, and sharing it with my husband, brother, and mom made it unforgettable. The Masai Mara welcomed us with golden sunsets and wildebeest in great numbers. My brother couldn’t hide his excitement at spotting a leopard up close. In Tanzania, the Serengeti felt endless, alive with zebras, lions, and migrating herds. Ngorongoro Crater was like a hidden paradise, with flamingos painting the lake pink and rhinos grazing peacefully. My mom marveled at every sight, often smiling quietly as if she was living a childhood dream. We found joy in the calm moments watching giraffes at dusk or listening to the night sounds. Together, we discovered not just wildlife, but a deeper family bond in the heart of Africa.

Our 3 day Masai Mara safari was an expectational journey into the wild. - Me and my 5 friends was planning to go on a safari in the Masai Mara. As per the plan, we kept looking for a local tour operator in Kenya and we booked Namnyak Tours and Safaris the right one. And they have been a great help throughout the entire trip. Spending 3 days in the Masai Mara felt like living in the heart of nature’s masterpiece. Our first game drive, the endless savannah stretched out before us, alive with movement and sound. We watched elephants crossing the river with such calm strength, while playful zebras and gazelles filled the plains with energy. Each day had its own surprise, a family of lions lazing in the grass, a cheetah sprinting across the horizon, and colorful birds decorating the sky. The rhythm of the wild was humbling, reminding us how nature exists in perfect balance. Every day brought a mix of excitement and serenity, showing us the wild heart of Kenya. Meeting the Maasai community gave us a glimpse of their proud traditions, making the trip even more meaningful
