Excellent trip.I would definitely recommend this agency to my friends.
5/5

The first impression was the consultant was so passionate that he replied to my emails very quick even on weekends.Also,Fredrick took every single requirement I told him when making the tailor-made itinerary.That was why I chose this company among all other agencies.During the safari,our guide Tom also did a wonderful job,giving us surprises consistently.I will no doubt refer them to my friends who'd like to travel here.

Silas arranged our safari over five national parks in Kenya to match our requirements and route.
5/5

This was a private safari, just my wife and I, taking in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo West over 12 days. All parks had different terrain/landscape and we saw the big five plus so much more! Comparing with safari in Kruger RSA we saw more different animals and in greater numbers in Kenya. Our driver / ranger (Nelson) was very knowledgeable and helpful but not intrusive and this made for an excellent safari overall. Camp accommodation, food and service were excellent, all staff were friendly and helpful.

A caring , competent,personal local tour operator
5/5

We hired Apodiformes for a 6 day safari tour and 3 day stay at Diani Beach. It was phenominal! Silas made sure we were taken care of in every aspect of our trips. He also arranged beaufiful superior accommodations everyhere we went,each with a beautiful swimming pool to enjoy at the end of each day. The food at each of these places was incredible,smorgasborg style with incredible choices. Our safari guide,Maxwell was an absolute gem. He was honest ,hard working and diligent in making sure we saw everything. He stopped whenever we needed and made sure we had lots of time to see animals and birds closely. He was kind ,personable and fun to be with and most importantly an excellent and careful driver over some pretty challenging roads. We highly recommend this tour agency not only because they are local but because they give superior personal and much cheaper tours over the many international companies like Go etc
Do not book a tour through an agency in your own country. You end up paying up to 300 percent more. Book on line a great local tour group like Apodiformes . You will not be disappointed and you are directly helpng the locals. Thanks Silas and Maxwell for such the wonderful and memorable experience you gave us. We will recommend you to all our friends

Very reliable tour operator giving the best possible experience
5/5

We had a beautiful holiday - including a 6-day safari and a beach holiday - in Kenya thanks to the team of Apodiformes Adventures. We chose them to organize our trip because Silas was the first to answer for our quote request and we found both the description of the tour and the price very reasonable. Silas was always quick and helpful to respond our questions/requests while we were preparing for the tour. Everything was just perfect during our stay in Kenya. We enjoyed the safari very much and we are so grateful to our guide, Jackton who is one of the best guides, I am sure :-). Thanks to him we could always watch the animals "in the first row". Jackton did all his best to take us as close to the animals as we could get. Not only did he give us a lot of information about everything and answered all our questions, but he also took a very good care of us: we always had drinking water in our car, we never had to use bush toilet, because he always found better solutions, etc. We are extremely satisfied with the organization of the tour, with all kind of accommodation we used (safari camps, lodge, beach hotel) and with the service we received. So, thank you Silas, Jackton and Joseph for making our trip so memorable. You deserve 5+ for your service :-).

Wonderful safari holiday
5/5

The service Silas provides is second to none. Both he and our safari driver James took care of us with the highest professionalism and made our Nairobi city tour and safari (Masai Mara, lake Naivasha, lake Nakuru and Amboseli) a great experience we will never forget. Thanks a lot to both, we wish you all the best for the future and hope to use your services again soon.

Amazing
5/5

The organization was top from beginning to end! Pick up in Naivasha and bring back to Nairobi no problem. our driver was really great and made a real effort. We had one of those little busses where you can stand and look out of the open roof. Room and board were convenient ... you may not ask for too much for a price of $ 300 ... had to send $ 100 via PayPal and then pay the rest locally. Currency is not a problem. have seen everything except rhinos. We recommend.

A pleasant adventure in the wild with balloon flight
5/5

The communications, services were on the top. The safari tour was something unforgettable. Very many emotions and very nice experience.
The organizer Stephen of the tour is a very kindly person and very helpful. He also helped us to get the tickets for the train (not included in safari).
The drivers are professional, they know all about their job, the cars were always clean.

5/5

We went to Kenya for the first time and had a wonderful Safari trip. Apodiformes provided everything we needed and the staff including Janet and Nickson are superb. They are very courteous and accommodating. The hotels they booked for us are very nice. Meals are delicious. We will definitely recommend Apodiformes.

Excellent
5/5

The staff who contacted me was serious and patient. The tour guide Gideon was very dedicated and would wait in advance. Sometimes, even if we were all tired and fell asleep, he would use a telescope to look for animals. And I will carefully explain animal knowledge and try to solve various problems encountered during travel. Rich experience has helped us see many wild animals, including lions, leopards, rhinos, etc. Although the road conditions are average, the driver's driving skills are very skilful and they are very comfortable along the way. The condition of the vehicle is also very good. The interior of the car is very clean, and even cleaning is carried out every day, which makes me very surprised.

A reliable touroperator for a wunderfull safari
5/5

We did a 10 day safari/beach holiday with Apodiformes Adventures in August 2024. Communication has been almost perfect from the start of our plans. there was always a quick response to a question. Everything went as planned except for two pick-up times. In particular, the pick-up in Mombasa and Nairobi before and after the train journey was not well organised. Everything turned out fine after all. A taxi driver on site took us to our hotel. The safari itself was beautiful. Duncan, a very friendly driver, gave us a lot of information about Kenya and the animal life. The downside perhaps was the car, not a safari car as we know it, but a fairly old van with an opening roof. The safari itself was beautiful, we saw the big five within 2 days. Driving through Kenya is a story in itself. One hole in the road is deeper than the other. Some roads shouldn't actually be called roads, some roads were that bad. And often 50 km long!! Respect for Duncan for doing that for us every day. I wouldn't imitate him. Perhaps a real safari car would have been a bit more comfortable. All lodges were beautiful, food was well prepared. The Sopa lodge and the Kibo lodge really stood out. Was great there. The ending at the Leopard resort in Diana beach was also great. We had a large room with a beautiful sea view. In short, everything was well arranged by Silas. If I can give a point, it would be a nice 9.
