What a breathe taking experince!!!Anytime anyday I will advise and take Papio Africa Holidays
To start with the receptionist, very friendly and willing to assist.
The driver was just the best getting us to laugh all the way.
Personally I can't forget the experience.
My next safari to Masai mara on November is with Papio still
Best ever trip I ever had in my life so far.
I had planned my trip for Masaimara, Nakuru and Naivasha for my Kenya trip. As I was traveling solo I had a lot of doubt and questions about the safety and so many other things, but from the day 1 I got msg from "Tabitha" from Papio Africa Holidays to day when I reached to meeting point in Kenya to start the safari journey, she has clarified each and every thing so nicely and made it so easy. They have also arranged the pick up from the airport and the person was right there at given timing. And about the tour, we were so lucky to have Antony as our guide, he was amazing driver, even though other were struggling in a rough road, he was just driving confidently without having any issues. He was even so good that he was taking us very close to the animal to get us good picture. After all these also he was so selfless. The only cons in the trip were I have been promised to get 2 sharing tent at masai Mara camp but got 4 sharing as it was peak season and it was still manageable. But the food served in Nakuru was not at all good, they should look into it. Apart from these everything were awesome. If you are looking for a adventurous trip and love for nature, u should definitely visit Kenya once in your lifetime. It's worth going. Book through this agency and try to get Antony as ur guide for an amazing experience. Thanks Tabitha, Antony and Papio Africa tour for giving a amazing experience. All the best in future.

Terrible. Choose other options. Don't let this company cheat you
I purchased a 8 day and 7 nights Safari with this company and it had been the worst experience of my live. I am an experienced traveller who have visited more than 40 countries and 8 different in Africa, and ner happened something like this.
This operator is a cheater who will try to scam you and take the money from your pocket. Remember: They don't get what you pay. They also scam you with the rate exchange what rise the price of the tour, They have ruined our holiday.
The van is overcrowded (9 people), fake itinerary, they don't go where they promise, not experienced staff, they make changes in the itinarary and hotels without considering what you paid. They spent a lot of time in logistics like an ordinary bus changing people to reduce their costs and don't get you what you paid. The accomodattions don't have the minimum standards, no hot water, broken mosquito nets, dirty room, terrible food.
They manage well the social networks to cheat you, but be aware that these people are cheaters and will ruin your safari.
Choose another option in order to avoid they mess you up and ruin your holiday.

Posted on Oct 18, 2018Greetings from Papio Africa Holidays,
First of all ,this client booked 7 days and 6 nights safari in kenya and not 8 days ,7 nyts as he mentioned above and the safari was a budget group joining ,they shared the transport with the clients which was in 4 x4 safari van ,our safari van usually do put a maximum of 8 people.since the clients had booked a group safari ,they had to share the transport.
About The Accommodation ,it was a camping as per what the clients paid for,according to my understanding and by the looki of the clients there class was for lodge safari and not camping safari.
About The Itinerary ,they did there program-me as per what they booked,We even did all our best to updgarde them without an extra cost but they refused and ended there safari and we refunded them back there money.
We sincerely apologize to Ignacio and his partner and assure our future clients that we are still committed to ensure we give the best services.Choose us and definitely, you will always share a different experience from this.
