Reviews
Communicative
Overall my experience in a 4-Day Tour with Africa Magical Scenery Tours was good in terms of what was expected. To see and share wild life with animals is a unique experience! Also the driver/guide drove excellent on the road. Although, the second day of the tour my guide was confused and did not know that I was going to Nakuru with the rest of the group, then he sorted it out. The third day I could not enjoy the partial game tour it was supposed to be because the guide did not want to, or perhaps because of a lack of coordination. That day our guide made me feel bad for taking some pictures in a few specific points such as the Mara National Park main entrance, cos “it was a problem to take me there”, I still wonder why that’s a problem when it comes to feed the tourist curiosity and enrichen the experience. Last but not least, Next time I would rather hire a guide who has eagerness and initiative to explain about Kenian culture, curiosities and interesting facts about wild animals.

Great safari...incredible guide...terrible accomodations.
Our family, parents and four children, chose to go with this safari due to their good communication and their package looked very similar to other budget safaris. The agency does a good job communicating and I felt they were very honest about prices and surcharges they would need to pass on to the client (for instance 5% if you use a credit card). They sent us with a great guide, Mike was his name, and the vehicle for travel was ideal as it was a Land Cruiser with even some modern conveniences like USB charging (sorry, no air conditioning). Somethings cannot be helped, but we spent the first half day of our tour in the heat of a gas station trying to fix the land cruiser.
Thankfully the breakdown had not been too far out of Nairobi and we were still able to get parts and still make it to Masai Mara where we arrived at the tent camp greeted by the host in the dark. They apologized for the black out in electricity and said the generator would operate from 7 PM to 5 AM. Again, this is to be expected for Africa. What is not to be expected is that they had no towels for us and no hot water. After a long day sitting at a gas station and eating dust during the travel, you want a shower. Unfortunately on our second day returning the hostess said again they did not have any towels that were dry, however, unbeknownst to her one of the other workers had kept us back some but we didn't receive those until the few of us had already showered and used sheets to dry off with. In general I could never recommend this tent camp. It was run by young people who kept disco music blaring at full volume. When people go on Safari, they want to be in tune with nature and even have some places outside to sit, read, or observe the incredible scenery that can be found only in this unique part of the world. You will not find such peace at camp Miti Mindi.
The redeeming part of this trip was our day of Safari. We were able to observe four of the big five at close range. Our guide was great with the family and children; I certainly wouldn't blame him for the accommodation problems. We saw both a recent lion and leopard kill, as well as lions mating! One thing to be prepared for is that the package says that you can visit in Mosai Village but they charge 10 pounds per person. We opted NOT to do this part of the journey due to this unforeseen extra cost.
So I gave the trip an average rating but our full day safari would have gotten "exceptional." If magical safaris can choose their tent camps better, this budget safari will be exceptional as well.

Great tour, well organized
I die a Safari for 7 days as a solo traveler. (Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli) Everything was perfectly fine. I had to change the Jeep ones which i didn‘t mind for the cheap price. One night i stayed at one hotel, while the rest of the group stayed at another which felt a little lonely. Also you have to make sure the hotels know about special diets, cause even though i told them, sometimes i got the wrong food. Apart from that it was a great Trip with great memories!

Amazing trip with an amazing operator.
I was apprehensive at first as I never usually use tour booking agents. It started as a quote on a website, moved to emails and then was finalised via WhatsApp. I had not a lot in terms of what you would call "official" confirmation of booking. And everything was communicated via WhatsApp.
This being said. It was amazing. Everything that was planned went ahead and we had the most amazing experience. We stayed at Voi safari lodge and Ngutuni safari lodge in Tsavo east. The second night of our planned lodge was changed due to unforseen circumstances but we was accomodated with what can only be described as an upgrade. It was truly magical. We was lucky enough to see many families of elephants, we saw girrafe and buffalo, we was also lucky enough se a pride lions eating a buffalo. Definitely something we will never forget.
One thing to be noted and the only reason they did not receive 5 star is the payment was requested in USD cash. This in it self is not an issue, though upon payment some of the bills had minor wear and tear, such as nicks and cuts on the edges. It was brought to our attention that any bills under a certain year and any that were too heavily used would not be accepted by Kenyan banks. If I didn't have a few spare bills to use as tips this could have had major detrimental effects on the trip.
This needs to be communicated prior to arrival as I could have asked the bank for fresh bills. The agent in Kenya told me this happens often, so why not notify me to stop the issue happening.

A safari that exceeded my expectations
We did a 7-day safari (Masai Mara, Nakuru, and Amboseli) with Africa Magical Scenery Tours and Safaris and we are thrilled to have chosen them. They exceeded our expectations in terms of the safaris, the service and the accommodations. We loved the itinerary and the fact that they offered other activities that made it more varied than other safaris we have done. On the safaris, our guide, Martin, always made sure we saw the highlights of each place, and he absolutely succeeded. His jokes also made it even more fun. Furthermore, the service at the office was excellent. And finally, all the accommodations were amazing and well-located. An unforgettable experience. I would definitely go on another safari with them.

A well-organized and enjoyable tour, though the guide could have been more communicative.
My experience with Africa Magical Scenery Tours and Safaris was overall very positive. The tour was well organized, reliable, and offered good value for money. Communication before the trip was clear and helpful, and everything ran smoothly during the tour. The experience itself was enjoyable and memorable. The only area for improvement would be the guide, who could have been more communicative and engaging with the group.

great
It was a wonderful trip, and I'm so grateful for the help from the driver and other tourists. The driver was very friendly and hardworking; he took me to see almost all the animals I wanted to see. Along the way, he helped many people in need, including cars stuck in the mud and vehicles that had stalled. This touched me deeply, and I slightly regretted not tipping him more.

Wonderful and unique experience
We absolutely loved our 6 day safari! Everything went so smoothly and the whole experience was really well and professionally organized. It was also very good value for money. We saw so many amazing places and of course the animals were the highlight of the trip. All the accommodations were cozy and the food was really good (always good options for vegetarians as well). A special thanks to our driver Bonny and Suzzy from the office! Your service was more than what we could have asked for :)

A breath taking experience with a 5 star company!
We did the 6 day safari in 3 different national parks with Africa magical scenery Safari and everything exceeded our expectations. Our tour guide Bonny was excellent and professional, during the safari we became very good friends and he went above and beyond for us. All the accomodations and foods exceeded our expectations for what we were thinking for this price range. Suzzy organised the whole safari for us and we could not be happier with her. The Safaris and game drives were incrdible and of the best experiences in our lives! We could not recommend this tour more!
