5/5

We had the most incredible safari experience – truly beyond our expectations. From the breathtaking landscapes to the variety of wildlife we saw (including the Big Five!), everything was perfectly organized.

A special mention to our amazing guide, who made the trip even more memorable with his deep knowledge, kindness, and great sense of humor. Every day was different and full of surprises. The lodges were comfortable, the food was great, and we always felt safe and well taken care of.

This trip has been one of the highlights of our lives. Thank you for making it so special. We will definitely recommend this safari to anyone looking for an authentic and magical adventure in Kenya.

Beyond Amazing.
5/5

Our safari with Bienvenido Kenya Tours and Safaris was an experience of a lifetime—made absolutely unforgettable by our guide, Daniel.

With over 30 years of guiding experience, Daniel brought unmatched knowledge, wisdom, and insight into every part of the journey. He was incredibly patient, kind, and attentive, always going the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable, informed, and inspired.

His driving skills were phenomenal, effortlessly maneuvering through rough terrain and getting us right in front of the action—often before anyone else arrived. Thanks to his sharp instincts and dedication, we saw every animal we could have hoped for, and more.

Daniel’s passion for wildlife and commitment to giving us the best possible experience truly shined. He made sure every moment was special and personalized. We could not recommend him—or Bienvenido Kenya Tours—highly enough.

If you’re planning a safari in Kenya, ask for Daniel. You’ll be in the best hands possible.

A bloody legend
5/5

An Unforgettable safari Experience with Bienvenido Kenya Tours and Safaris!

Our safari was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Communication was smooth and professional throughout the entire process.

The service was top-notch. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and clearly passionate about wildlife, which made the experience even more special. We were lucky enough to see all the animals we hoped for, including two lions on a hunt!

The tour was well-organized and ran on time, with comfortable transport and great accommodation (for the price). Everything felt reliable and safe. We were also joined by an amazing group of fellow travelers, which made the experience even more fun and memorable.

Overall, the trip was excellent value for money and exceeded our expectations in every way. I highly recommend Bienvenido Kenya Tours and Safaris to anyone looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure!

Quick response
5/5

Ken was very nice and he replied email very quickly and everything went smoothly. One thing about doing Safari in May is that the price is not very high and then you can enjoy a minivan with less people and a bigger room only by yourself that was amazing

7 Day: Nairobi-Maasai Mara-Nakuru -Amboseli-Tsavo East-Diani
5/5

Kennedy arranged our fantastic week long trip to 4 national parks, was patient answering questions and helped to arrange train tickets for our trip back from Mombasa; we highly recommend Bienvenido Tours. We decided on taking this trip just a month before leaving, therefore it was not surprising that two of the hotels turned out to be unavailable, but Kennedy found good replacements.

This kind of tour requires a lot of time on the road between parks - driving through countryside and towns is fascinating as well, but be prepared for many hours on highways and very bumpy roads. It was therefore all the more pleasant to have a great guide and person, John, along for the ride. You are doing yourself a great favor if you ask for him and he's available; he made all the difference.

One change that I would recommend, when in Nakuru, ask to stay somewhere else than the Buraha Zenoni Hotel. It's not so much because it's not nice, but that it's just a hotel and seemed the odd place out compared to the wonderful lodges we otherwise stayed in.

The safari surpassed our expectations!
5/5

We were a bit skeptical about booking the trip with a local operator online from Europe, but it turned out to be an amazing experience!

We did a 3-day private safari tour to Masai Mara and stayed at Jumbo Mara Lodge. Everything was perfect- our guide picked us up from our accommodation, and the drive to Masai Mara was an adventure itself. We passed through Nakuru, the biggest city in the region, took in the stunning views of the Rift Valley, and got a glimpse of the local Masai people going about their daily lives.

Our guide, Daniel, knew Masai Mara like the back of his hand. He is so amazing that on the first two-hour game drive, we already saw three out of the Big Five and so many other animals in their natural habitat. He made sure we had the best time, helped us take great photos, and really made the whole experience unforgettable.

The lodge was beautiful a more like a 5-star hotel - with a fantastic pool and delicious food. They had great Indian and Kenyan dishes, as well as fresh fruit and other options.

Overall, an incredible experience at a great price. Would absolutely recommend!

3day Safari to Amboseli NP
4/5

The 3-day Safari to Amboseli National Park was amazing. Everything worked well. We got all important informations before the trip started. We were collected in Nairobi and had a safe drive to the nationalpark. We were warmheartedly welcomed at the campsite. We checked into our rooms and met for dinner. The accomodation was simple but good. The food served for breakfast, on the way lunch or dinner was delicious every time. It's a bit sad that the whole day drive starts way after breakfast when the sun is already up. But therefore the morning drive on the last day was before sunrise to have better chances to see the animals outside. We felt very safe and enjoyed every safari drive. Thank you so much for this experience!!

3/5

We just finished the six day Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli tour. We booked the budget tour with upgraded accommodation. The views and the animals were incredible, and we saw so much even though it was the off-season! Animals were our focus and this was achieved. However, the “custom Safari minivan“ was terrible! It had no suspension, no four-wheel-drive, no air conditioning, and no power. We spent hours on teeth rattling, bone jarring, hot bumpy dusty roads! This is not the option to choose if you have neck back or hip problems, or any breathing issues. Our guide provided facemasks at the beginning of the journey to protect somewhat from the dust. We got stuck a total of four times on our game drives, and had to help push the van. The last time we were stuck, it was approximately two hours before we were finally able to be towed out! The drives from Lodge to lodge took hours longer than other companies. Partly due to multiple stops picking people up or dropping people off and partly because the minivan just couldn’t keep up. Part of a reason for upgrading the accommodation was to have some relaxation and pool time. The first day we did not arrive at Jambo Mara until 245pm and they stopped serving lunch at three. The two nights at AAmboseli, we were originally dropped off at the camp instead of the lodge And it took some time to sort that out, not arriving at the correct lodge until 8:45 PM. The second night was also late because of the van getting stuck. Our luggage had to ride in the backseat because the back door of the van wouldn’t latch. We spent an hour prior to the game drive one morning while the locals repaired that. The roof top barely opened and closed that by the end of the trip we weren’t sure we would be able to get it up and then weren’t sure we would able to put it down.
We intermittently traveled with three other people that booked through this company. Each of them had their tour altered in someway mid tour. Thankfully that did not happen to us. So many things, but overall we did see a lot of amazing animals, but I would not book this trip again because of the minivan. The ride was just to rough, hot, bumpy, dusty, and miserable..
