Very good safari drivers - we have group of 10, took two jeeps, drivers are Steve and John. both of them are very nice, courteous, knowledgeable. they stay on top of the situation, always try to avoid bumps on the road. and they are very alerting in terms of where are animals and can lead us to them, and explain to us about all kinds of animals. it was a nice journey, they certainly had been the most important part of it.

Mara Magic! - A great experience and we saw a lot of animals! Our driver was amazing! He knew the Mara like the back of his hand and met our every need; just brilliant! Everything was very well organised and on point; we did the hot air balloon ride too which is a must tho we didn’t see as many animals as we thought we would

Life changing experience with Native Afrika - Native Afrika Voyages truly made our Maasai Mara safari a life changing and unforgettable experience. Lennox helped us with all of the booking and logistics - his communication was lightning-fast (every WhatsApp message was replied to immediately). Our guide, Chris, went way above and beyond to make our experience as special as it was. He was incredibly knowledgeable, able to answer all of our questions, and motivated to make sure we caught every exciting sighting that was happening in the park. In less than 3 days of game drives, we saw over 20 different species of incredible wildlife including lions, leopards, cheetahs, the serval cat, elephants, and more. On top of that, Chris was both friendly and extremely professional, and able to manage any situation like getting stuck in the mud and getting a flat tire - both normal/part of the safari experience! Everything ran smoothly from start to finish — could not recommend them more.

Amazing safari - My family and I had a wonderful experience booking our safari with Native Africa Voyages. All my questions were promptly answered prior to traveling to Kenya. The welcoming staff met and picked us up at our lodging, handed us over to our two awesome drivers Cyrus and Martin. The entire drive to Masia Mara was epic, we loved the scenery the mountains were amazing. We were very lucky to see lions every day on our game drive. We were also amazed to see a cheater walked right in front of the jeep. We’ll definitely do another safari in the future.

Excellent trip to Masai Mara - The Masai mara trip was excellent. Our guide, Antony was extremly knowledgeable, accommodating and polite. He did his best to show us the wildlife and was making special efforts to focus on the big 5 animals. I will recommend this trip. The only point to note is that the road from Nairobi to Masai Mara is very good. But I then went to Tanzania via Isabania border. This road is a unsealed road which is very bumpy and travelers need to know this. But we saw more animals on this route as well.

Thank you Native Afrika Voyages - The word count is not enough for me to express what a wonderful time we had in MasaiMara. Firstly I would like say a big thank you to Maureen for all her prompt correspondence every time I emailed her. She helped me plan the trip and even came to see us off in Nairobi on her day off. Nico who was our guide through our trip in Masai Mara was absolutely brilliant. Nico you were the best. Thank you for dropping us off in Isabenia to continue our trip in the Serengeti. We really missed you in Tanzania and wished you were there all along. Your smile and enthusiasm made it special for us. My only recommendation to Native Afrika would be to tie up with a better partner in Tanzania. Unfortunately Spirit of Tanzania wasn’t the best, specially with the car that we were provided during our trip in Tanzania. It lacked the personal touch that we got in Masai Mara. However I must say the Wildebeest Migration we saw in North Serengeti was absolutely amazing

Most memorable Safari experience - This has been one of the most amazing experiences we have had, ay beyond expectations. All thanks to Native Afrika Voyages. They were instrumental right from start - from making a tailor-made itinerary to suit exactly what we wanted to get from experience, to the actual experience itself in end. I would like to highlight below members of the team particularly for their invaluable help in this journey throughout. - Milcah (Lead Tour Advisor) - I cannot thank her for services enough. She was the key in discussing & organising the entire tour across 100+ emails / whatsapp chats months in advance to tailor-fit tour to exactly what we wanted. She was super-responsive with clear communication & was always readily available to pro-actively make suggestions & resolve all my doubts/concerns. By the end I could totally rely on her expertise. And it didn't disappoint as the trip was way beyond expectations. - Steve (Driver/Guide) - an expert driver & guide for all the game drives we did in Maasai Mara. I am still surprised by all the variety of wildlife we were able to see in such a short period of time, all thanks to Steve's expertise in taking us to the right places at the right time. He ensured we didn't miss any views on the day especially of some of the very difficult sightings of leopard. Throughout the trip we were so pleasantly surprised by getting so close views of so many animals/birds one after another, whilst feeling safe all the time. Moreover he was super-patient & accommodative & was very attentive to the needs of my parents during entire trip. - Telvin (photographer) - upon Milcah's recommendation we also engaged services of Telvin to photograph entire experience. & I am very happy we did so. Telvin took some pretty amazing shots capturing the essence of the trip. The pictures are not only super clear but have been taken in a way that they together tell entire story, almost like a visual log. Telvin captured not only wildlife but also many of our family moments both with wildlife as well as back at the camps/resort, & with landscape sceneries that we came across. He also went beyond his role to ensure comfort for all of us during trip. And thanks to him for managing to send all the pics as I requested at the end. Overall thanks to the team for making this trip such a memorable experience for all of us. Would definitely recommend & engage services again in future for more trips.

Native Afrika can be trusted for service, price, car and guides. Go for them! - We had an amazing time with Native afrika. First, during planning, Maureen was such a calm, helping girl. I spoke with many but knew I had to book with her. Prices were competitive and she was the most responsive. Then we travelled to Maasai Mara with Musa. We had a great time. More than we wanted. We saw lions, lion eating, lions mating, cheetah, river crossing at Mara, he also accommodated to take us to Sand river crossing in the short time. He was tired, of course, but he put us always on front. Car was good and comfortable. Musa was so particular about car cleanliness and manners. Which is a good thing because it has to be used by everyone. He has a big radio and 18 years of experience that helped a lot. Lots to say but words fall short. Asante! is all I could say.

Bad tour operator but amazing safari experience - The agency who organised the trip was terrible and cheated us and there name was native Africa voyages for a couple of reasons first we booked a luxury camp called zebra plains and on day of pick up we were told this camp was not available even I booked 8 months ahead of time and they moved us to another camp which was terrible no facilities cold food no bread for breakfast no electricity after 8 pm except lights no hot water in morning and open no security so needed one of camp cards to take us to room as hipos where roaming the place night time apparently and when I strongly comply the next evening they moved us to zebra plains which was amazing and what we originally booked also Land Cruiser was old and dirty but the guide John was amazing and was a great driver and had knowledge of everything and saved the tour for us and viator should check who they are dealing with more care so overall I totally recommend the safari part and seeing the animals migration was amazing shame about the tour operator
