The review below is the personal opinion of HC and not that of SafariBookings.
The satisfaction of the tour is disappointing.
3/5

A tour that is disappointing for the price. It was 3 days and 2 nights in Ambossell, but the well-made tour was only one day. And the disappointment about the accommodation. The Ambosselli accommodation is too small for two people to sleep. At the Masaimara dormitory, it rained heavily and the floor of the dormitory was wet. I asked for one more indoor shoes (2 people), but I was refused, saying that I would pay one indoor shoes per tent. I feel disappointed in many ways in terms of service.

Very good experience
4/5

Great experience, highly recommended. Julie was kind and helpful in meeting all our needs. The only downside (hence the 4 stars) was the lack of clarity regarding the transfer day: the timing was stretched, arriving at the hotel later than expected. The optional excursion was not mentioned in advance and turned out to be mandatory in the end, as there was no alternative but to wait 2 hours in a small garden, in front of the jeep.

However, we really appreciated Julie's effort to apologize for what happened and the attention to the customers throughout the tour.

4/5

It was a good and fantastic experience and my children loved it too, but we did one mistake and that's not staying longer. We will love to go with you guys again if we get the chance.

Martin is a great tour guide, recommended to book with Across Horizon.
4/5

Martin was my tour guide for the first 3 days, he did a really good job. Helping to find the animals, especially the rare once. Explaining us a lot about the wildlife, very communicative on the radio. It was a blessing to have him as a guide. Although after the 3 days I had to change to another car with Richard, he was less assertive and a lot on his phone and we definitely saw less animals. That’s why I give 4 stars instead of 5. The accommodations were good, always enough & good food available, the lunch boxes got prepared well and the pancakes in the Nyati lodge were a +++
We had some issues on our trip because of the missing communication to our driver from different agencies. Our driver was about to bring me to another hotel. In Nakuru we had to go out of the park and lost half an hour to pick up 2 ladies from another agency. Communication is key.

Very nice
4/5

I liked how our guide James was always calm and didn't play loud music. But when we returned to Nairobi, we had a difficult time because our vehicle suddenly changed from a Land Cruiser to a van. It changed so suddenly that I didn't even have time to tip the guide.

Astounding value, unforgettable experiences and a team that wants so show you all of Kenyas beauties
4/5

We recently embarked on a 4-day safari with Across Horizon Safari (AHS), and overall, the experience was unforgettable. As students, budget constraints were a significant concern for us, but the company offered an exceptionally reasonable price that allowed us to fully enjoy the stunning landscapes and wildlife of Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru.

From the start, the trip was filled with breathtaking moments. We witnessed the incredible diversity of wildlife in Maasai Mara and the serene beauty of Lake Nakuru. The guides were knowledgeable and passionate, providing us with insightful information about the animals and the environment. The accommodations were comfortable and exceeded our expectations, especially considering the cost.

One of the standout aspects of this provider is their flexibility. They were very accommodating to our needs and requests, making adjustments wherever possible to enhance our experience. If you have any questions or special requests, we highly recommend talking to them—they are more than willing to tailor the safari to meet your needs.

However, there were a few logistical issues along the way. We faced some hiccups with pickups, payments, and the itinerary, which required us to be flexible and patient. Despite these minor setbacks, the overall experience was worth it. The team did their best to address our concerns, and their efforts were appreciated. Noticeably this resulted in ous getting a private Safari, consisting of only our group. (This improved our experience immensely)

For those who are price-sensitive and open-minded, AHS is a fantastic option. The value for money is impressive, and the unique experiences offered make it a trip to remember. We highly recommend them for anyone looking to explore Kenya's natural wonders on a budget.

Excellent Kenya safari with great organisation and guiding
5/5

We travelled with Across Horizon Safaris for the first part of our journey in Kenya and had an excellent experience. Communication with Julie, the owner, was very pleasant from the start, and it was great to meet her in person on the morning of departure. She also arranged our airport pickup and hotel, which was extremely helpful after a long delay at immigration.

We travelled with a group of 6 friends and Julie advised us well on choosing the right vehicle. Having visited the Masai Mara before, we really appreciated travelling this time in a Land Cruiser, which allowed us to explore the park more comfortably. Our driver Ben was outstanding — calm, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, with a sharp eye for spotting wildlife far ahead. He drove us all the way to the Ugandan border and was very helpful during the rather chaotic border crossing. Overall, our five days in Kenya were a great success. We highly recommend Across Horizon Safaris and are already in touch with Julie to plan our next trip to Kenya.

Amazing from start to finish
5/5

I had an amazing experience doing two safaris in Amboseli National Park and the Maasai Mara, all perfectly organized by Julia. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish, and the experience exceeded my expectations. We were incredibly lucky to see a wide variety of wildlife, including all of the Big Five.

A special thank you to David and Moises, who were outstanding drivers and guides. Their knowledge of the parks, sharp eyes for spotting animals, and friendly, professional attitude made the safaris truly unforgettable. I highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a well-organized and authentic safari in Kenya.

Where expectations meet reality
5/5

The whole experience was well planned, starting from booking, travelling, checking in, and checking out. If I were to travel again, I would choose Across Horizons Safaris.
