Excellent
Benson from Seremara Safaris was absolutely magnificent, from initial contact, through a mutual friend we were delighted with the entire days adventure, service and communication.
From collecting us from the local airport takings to our hotel and collecting us in the morning for safari day !!
We were looked after by Amos an English speaking guide. He was also brilliant ,full of information regarding the park and animals and so patient enabling us not to miss anything !! I would highly recommend using this company and certainly we would not hesitate recommending them to all our family & friends they couldn't have been more helpful ...THANK YOU !! BRILLIANT We will be back !! JR

Exceptional Safari experience
Our trip was truly incredible! I cannot thank Seremara Safaris enough nor recommend them enough. From the very get-go the whole experience was smooth and hassle free.
We travelled the second week of February and did the Private Luxury 3 night package. We did a lot of searching on Safari booking trying to find the best offer and quality and are very glad that we went ahead with Seremara. We requested a quote through the site and received a response within 24hours, Benson was then very attentive to take note of special requests to create a bespoke experience for us. Up until we landed in Kenya, Benson was always at hand to answer any question we had and made sure we had all of the information we needed for our trip.
When we landed, we were picked up at the airport by our guide, Erastus, in a fantastic Toyota Land Cruiser which would be our car for the duration of our trip, and got us excited from the get-go! Erastus was fantastic! Friendly, knowledgable, and patient with all of our questions and requests, taking us to necessary banks to withdraw money and stopping to get a data card for our phones, making sure we were always comfortable and happy, teaching us about the animals and Kenyan culture.
From the airport we drove to our first stop in Lake Nakuru at the Cliff Hotel. A truly magical setting! Luxury tents set up high on the lake where the hotel team comes and opens up your tent curtains so that you can wake up to the sunrise. The food was spectacular and the staff incredibly friendly. We only stayed one night and wish we had booked to stay at least two! We did a game drive the afternoon we arrived and another the following morning and saw so many animals despite it being low season!
The next day after our game drive we drove to the Maasai Mara National Park, stopping at some "Curiosity Shops" to buy souvenires on the way. We did a game drive as we entered the National Park and headed towards our camp which was in the middle of the national part! We got to the park in the afternoon and it started to pour with rain as we made our way to the camp. The tracks were muddy and rivers beginning to rage but Erastus was calm and composed the whole time, ensuring that we made it safe and sound to the camp. We stage at the Mara Ngenche Safari camp and were, again, blown away by the experience. The camp sits on top of a cliff by the river where hippos dwell so you can see them as you have breakfast and hear them as you have dinner. The camp is also unfenced meaning that animals are free to roam, but don't fear as there are Maasai guides that take you to dinner and back to your room, and keep watch over the camp over the night. But it's great to hear the animals so close and hippos rubbing up against the tent's steal structure in the night. Truly breathtaking and we never once felt in danger! The tents were also incredibly comfortable, with large beds, roll top baths, outdoor shower and exceptional service from the staff.
The following day was my friend's birthday and we set out early for a game drive and spent the whole day in the park. The camp chef prepared a picnic for us to take so that we wouldn't have to return to the camp for lunch. Erastus picked it up and we stopped for lunch on top of a hill and had a picnic from the car bonnet, admiring the beautiful landscape around us and animals in the distance. Erastus was fantastic in driving us to all corners of the park to try and show us all of the animals! As it was low season there were few and all very spread out, even so we saw everything except leopards! Erastus was incredibly respectful of the animals, never encroaching on them or disrupting their peace but always placing the car so that we could get the best view and pictures.
In the evening when we returned to the camp, Benson had arranged called in advanced and arranged for a birthday cake for my friend so all of the camp staff came and sang him happy birthday. It was such a special gesture and made his birthday truly memorable. We watched the sunset as the hippos roared in the river and enjoyed some fantastic conversion with the Maasai members of the staff about their culture and lives and experiences with the animals.
The next day we checked out and drove out of the park, viewing the animals as we went. We stopped off at a Maasai village and paid to receive a guided tour and learn about their culture. A once in a lifetime experience of a very special tribe. Fascinating to learn about how they live an self sustain. From here we made our way back to Nairobi to catch our flight for the next destination. We met up with Benson to say goodbye, Benson and Erastus dropped us off at a hotel near the airport and we passed the time until our flight there.
It was a whirlwind experience and our only regret is that it was so short!! I honestly cannot recommend enough and I am already looking forward to returning and exploring more of Kenya's National Parks with Seremara and Erastus. However, going by Benson's judge of character in hiring Erastus, I am positive that all guides at Seremara are exceptional!
Notes of advice:
- Stay at least 2 nights in Lake Nakuro - the Cliff, one night is not enough to fully enjoy and experience the camp (they have a spa) and the surroundings.
- Stay at least 3 nights in Ngenche - for the same reasons! So that you can relax in the camp and take the whole experience in
- Take out more than you think you will need for tipping as once you leave Nairobi, ATMs are hard to come by. We definitely didn't take out enough for the exceptional service we received and weren't able to tip as much as we would have wanted.
- Don't buy everything in the first souvenir shop you stop at! You will stop at MANY, and they all sell similar things! Beautiful national crafts and you will want to buy it all... and it's hard to say no! So my advice is to buy a little bit at each stop :)

Very reliable and coperative and exchellent choices
The experience with Benson from Serema Safaris was excellent, from the inititial responses and consultations, to taking care during my stay (including trouble shooting were needed) and cooperation afterwards it was a very kind, professional and reliable agent and I can higlhly recommend his services. I booked the 4 Day Masai Mara and Naboisho tour based on his recommendations and he made the perfect choices (Partners, Camps, esp. Basecamp) for my needs and interests. Excellent value for money. These were wonderful days enabled by Serema Safaris. Thank you!

Worth Every Penny and More
For our honeymoon, we had an amazing 10-day private safari in Kenya with Seremara Safaris, and it truly exceeded our expectations.
From the start, Benson stood out among 5+ tour operators we contacted. His proposal was the most detailed, with tailored suggestions, great lodge options, and no hidden costs. While Seremara may appear slightly more expensive at first glance, once we compared the quality of lodges, top-grade 4x4 vehicles, amount of included activities, and transparency (without any hidden cost), it turned out to be the best value by far.
Benson stayed in touch throughout the trip, making sure everything ran smoothly, and even went out of his way to help us resolve a lost property issue in Nairobi outside the safari dates. You can really feel that he cares about your whole stay in Kenya, not just the tour.
Our guide Derreck was also fantastic — knowledgeable, kind, and an excellent driver and spotter (not just an expert in animals but in birds as well). The itinerary (Samburu >> Ol Pejeta >> Lake Naivasha >> Maasai Mara >> Naboisho) was well-paced and diverse, with a perfect mix of wildlife, landscapes, and activities.
We wholeheartedly recommend Seremara Safari. Incredible service, seamless logistics, and unforgettable memories.

He was knowledgeable and enthusiastic
I had the most brilliant holiday at Basecamp and Eagleview for 5 days. The camps and staff were amazing. Everything about the safari was wonderful the itinerary, the game drives, and getting to see the big five up close.
I would use Seremara Safaris and recommend them.

We had a wonderful experience with Seremara Safaris.
A friend of mine recommended me that if you go on safari, do it with Seremara safaris. i contacted them, they responded me very quickly and explained me the whole process. I booked a safari, they picked me from airport and arranged a nice place to rest.
Next day our safari started i was a little nervous at first, but when i saw the knowledge and experience of these people my nervousness was over. their guide had a great experience and knowledge about the animals and also knows about every single move of animals. they provided my the neat and clean accommodation with great food and the car was also in good condition. i will surely recommend them for giving me their best.

A trip to Samburu with family
The team at Seremara Safaris took into details all our specifications for our trip. We had the best guide Sam who knew alot about the wildlife and habitats within the region.
The hotel took into consideration of our vegeterian parents and gave them nice meals.
I would highly recommend Seremara Safaris!
