Impressive
5/5

I had an amazing two nights, three days experience at Maasai Mara courtesy of Solo Safari Updates. Knowledgeable and experienced tour guides. Timely pick up. Amazing game drives with a touch of safari rally experience using the 4 wheel drive Toyota landcruisers on the muddy roads in the wild. I was able to spot the big 5! Favorable prices and brilliant advisories regarding the ups and downs of the different camps.

Our tour guide and driver is Mr. Evans. He always make sure we are comfortable. He is always helpful and he has good communication skills. Mr. Xavier who is our planner made it sure that everything is ready when we arrive. Overall the amount we spend for this tour is really worth it. We will definitely come back. Thank you!

Good price and beautiful park
4/5

The park is truly beautiful. Compared to other safaris, we had never seen so many animals in one day (we were there in march). Our guide was a really good driver and he was decent at spotting animals. We had another guide for a while who was much more enthusiastic and lively though.
We booked a private tour, but due to car problems or other issues, we had to share most of the time with other people in the car.
A friend of a friend recommended doing the budget option, but specifically the lenchada camp wasn’t too great. It’s very basic. It is okay if you prepare well for camping, but we didn’t receive much info beforehand.
The value for price of the whole trip overall was good, cheaper than many other options. But I would recommend the mid range if possible for your budget, other travellers said their lodges were great. Or maybe if they choose another budget camp it can be better. Communications with tour operator was great, very quick reply’s and was flexible.
Overall we enjoyed the experience.

We had a smooth tour
4/5

Pickup, payment, transport, game drive, food - everything was fine, no issues. Tour guide could be more attentive, explaining where are we going or why are we stopping, but overall good experience.

The review below is the personal opinion of Vanessa and not that of SafariBookings.
Unprofessional
1/5

We paid $1,200 for a 3-day Masai Mara safari and had a very disappointing, and at times, unsafe experience.

The guide provided little actual guiding or group management. For most of the trip, the vehicle felt like a party bus rather than a professional safari.

More concerning were the safety issues:
• the guide drank beer before driving
• frequently used his phone while driving
• failed to manage disruptive behavior
• at the end of the trip, we were dropped off at a gas station on the side of the highway and told to take an Uber instead of being transported to our accommodation as arranged.

The company later acknowledged the problem and suspended the guide, but refused any refund or compensation.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that fell far below professional standards. I would not book with them again.
