6 days safari experience
We had an amazing 6-day safari visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli. Our guide, Marcus, went above and beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. Both Marcus and David were very knowledgeable about the wildlife and knew the best spots to see all kinds of animals and take great photos. They were also very skilled drivers, which was important not only during the safari but also on highways and in city traffic. On top of that, Marcus was incredibly helpful when I fell ill due to food poisoning, driving me all the way to a hospital in Narok to ensure I received proper medical care. Overall, doing the safari with African Bush Explorers was great value for money, and I would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a unique and well-organized adventure.

Marcus and I are thrilled to hear that your 6-day safari through the Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, and Amboseli was such a great success, and that our wildlife knowledge, photo spotting, and driving kept you safe and well-positioned throughout. Marcus was more than happy to step in and get you to the hospital in Narok—your health and safety are always our absolute top priority.
We truly appreciate your high recommendation and the note on our value. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure!

African Bush Explorers was thoughtful, detailed, and worked hard to provide a great experience.
I was able to visit Amboseli on a day trip out of Nairobi with African Bush Explorers. And had a terrific experience with them. David provided timely, helpful communication before the trip in preparation for it.
Dawood did a great job as the guide. The trip was on time and provided a great way to be able to travel from Nairobi to Amboseli and to go with an experienced local guide that understood what's involved in getting there and exploring the park. He knew the spots to go to to see the wildlife. He was also very knowledgeable about all the various birds and animals and provided interesting information about them as we spotted them. He was friendly and relaxed and was very approachable with any questions that I had. I would definitely recommend African Bush Explorers for future visitors to Kenya.

I'm incredibly glad that the early coordination paid off and that your day trip from Nairobi to Amboseli went so smoothly. Getting out there and back seamlessly is all about timing and logistics, so I'm thrilled the journey felt effortless for you.
Dawood is a fantastic asset to our team, and I will be sure to pass along your kind words to him. He absolutely loves sharing his deep knowledge of our birds and wildlife, and it's wonderful to hear that his guiding made your Amboseli experience so memorable.
Thank you for highly recommending African Bush Explorers to future travelers visiting Kenya. We would love to welcome you back for another great adventure in the future!

Nice, reliable, on time guy that knows a lot about animals.
We did both the Nairobi and Amboseli National Park with our guide David.
Both tours were awesome and David brought us safely and timely back and forth. Even a burst tire was no big deal. We had flights after each tour, so he picked us up at the hotel and dropped us at the airport.
We saw a lot of animals in both parks and David told us everything we wanted to know about them. The elephants at Amboseli were amazing and the included lunch was top class. I would definitely recommend David to my friends.

I’m thrilled you had such an awesome time exploring both Nairobi and Amboseli. Keeping things smooth, on time, and getting you safely to your flights is always a top priority—and out here, a quick tire change is just all part of the adventure!
I’m so glad you enjoyed the incredible elephants, the lunch, and the wildlife insights. Thank you for the high recommendation to your friends, and I look forward to welcoming you all back to the trails in the future!

The best from A to Z
I had booked a morning game months ago and due to several bothering and unwanted changes made by the airline I had to update every time with David who always replied within the hour whatever the time I had sent the message.
So the first quality is reactivity
The last change, bothersome of all had me arrive at 6 in the morning whereas I was supposed to arrive in the evening and be picked up at my hotel the following day for the game. David suggested that he could pick me up directly at the airport which he did on the 3rd of September.
When I landed, more than one hour late, he was there patiently waiting for me. and we left on the spot.
Second and third qualities: efficiency and patience
Upon arriving at the gate everything went smooth as the driver and David took care of all the details in a few minutes while I was waiting in the Range Rover.. We then took off to have a wonderful game spotting all the animals I had wanted to see and more, "scanning" the area for any sighting and they did indeed as I had the opportunity to watch a silver hyena feeding on a bird it had just killed. David showed me where the attack had taken place as the hyena had dragged its victim.
During the trip, David took every opportunity to explain the wild life, commenting on every scene I was witnessing
Fourth and expected quality: professionalism
I will add that both, David and the driver ( sorry I did not catch his name) were quite pleasant and eager to make everything smooth
Loved it and ... thanks

Posted on Jun 9, 2026Thank you so much for the incredible review, Alyx!
I’m so glad we could turn those stressful airline changes into a seamless airport pickup and a fantastic morning out in the wild. That silver hyena sighting was truly spectacular, and it was a pleasure breaking down the action and wildlife details for you.
I'll pass your kind words along to the driver as well. Thank you for recognizing our responsiveness and professionalism and we hope to welcome you back in the future!

Experience of half day Nairobi national park tour
The tour was excellent, and the operator was able to accommodate in a very short time span, as I’d only contacted 12 hrs before the trip, and they provided a reasonable rate when compared to other safari operators.
Special mention to our game drive guide Daudi, was extremely knowledgeable and shared lot of information about the animals encountered ( variations, diets, endangered/vulnerable, etc.)

I’m thrilled we could step in and pull everything together seamlessly for you on just 12 hours' notice. Daudi is a phenomenal asset to our team, and I'll gladly pass along your special mention to him—he takes immense pride in sharing those deeper insights into our wildlife.
Thank you for choosing African Bush Explorers, and we look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

It was such an experience!!

Very dedicated tour operator
Sam picked us up at home on time and after a short stop for breakfast, we set off for Nairobi National Park.
He had already taken care of getting the entrance tickets.
We saw lots of animals in the park. Sam is not only familiar with big game, but also with birds, reptiles and much more.
So we had an exciting day with lots of great sightings. Unfortunately, we didn't see any lions, although Sam really made an effort, but next time we will certainly see one!

Posted on Jun 9, 2026Thank you so much for the fantastic and detailed review, Arne!
I’m thrilled to hear you had an exciting day in the park with so many great wildlife sightings. Sam always takes great pride in ensuring a seamless, on-time experience, and his passion definitely spans across all our incredible wildlife—from the birds and reptiles to the big game.
Nature can be unpredictable, but Sam will certainly be ready to track down those lions for you on your next safari with us.
Looking forward to welcoming you back to the trails for round two!

Best service, memorable experiences
We are return travellers to ABE and our tour guide David, this time travelling to Amboseli NP for a 3 day, 2 night adventure. The overall experience will be etched in our memories as one of the best of all time. David is most knowledgeable on matters of wildlife, local culture as well as an expert driver. This came into play numerous times, for example when we were confronted by an angry bull elephant - David reversed us out of trouble very quickly. The same combination of driving skill and knowledge of animal behaviour allowed us to get classic views of elephant processions, big cat action, giraffes, zebra and many other sightings. He filmed a family of cheetahs so well after first getting the prime position amongst all the other vehicles. Seek out David for your next Kenyan safari adventure!

It was an absolute pleasure guiding you through Amboseli. I'm thrilled that my knowledge of wildlife behavior and driving skills kept you safe during that intense elephant encounter and secured those prime, unforgettable views of the cheetahs and wildlife processions.
Having you back on safari means the world to us, and I look forward to welcoming you back for many more memorable adventures on the trails!
