Our safari experience was truly unforgettable, and a big part of that was thanks to Erick From start to finish, they went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of and that we had the best possible experience. Their knowledge of the wildlife, local environment, and culture was exceptional, and they always took the time to answer our questions and share fascinating insights. What really stood out was their dedication, patience, and genuine passion for ensuring we were comfortable, safe, and enjoying every moment.
What an awesome experience this was. Shoutout to our driver and tour guide Eric. He made us feel welcomed and is a wealth of knowledge. Request Eric if you want the best experience.
A wonderful experience made all the better by the helpfulness and knowledge of our amazing driver/guide Erick. From start to finish he was completely understanding of our needs and tried to ensure the trip met them all. His experience and incredible knowledge of the animals and birds as well as his knowledge of the National Reserve meant we saw so much, including numerous lions and cheetahs as well as a stunning leopard. His company was great throughout and helped make our first safari an unforgettable experience.

We truly value your kind words and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure with Kenya Bush Expeditions.
The amazing Erick made our first safari experience absolutely unforgettable. He was so informative about all the animals and his knowledge of the Maasai Mara meant he always knew where to find the best close-up sightings; even of a leopard (they usually spend all daylight hours sleeping in a tree and are virtually impossible so spot; but this one was just strolling about! He was always very friendly, helpful and kind; totally unfazed when 20mins into our journey I realised that my phone was still at our hotel and he turned back without appearing to mind at all!
Thank you so much for your amazing review! We’re delighted that Erick made your first safari in the Maasai Mara truly unforgettable. It’s fantastic that his expertise helped you spot so many incredible animals—even a walking leopard! We’re also glad he could help smoothly when your phone was left behind. Your kind words mean a lot, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable adventure with Kenya Bush Expeditions!
The experiences were fine, it was very basic, the food and the overnight stay. Access to the masai was also far too expensive. 30 bucks. The pick-up at our hotel was reduced from 7h30 to 4h30😏
Kenya Bush Expeditions is a professional tour operator. Very prompt in their communication and responses with resolutions. Their drivers are polite, courteous and friendly. We had Peter with us for the whole tour. He is a happy amenable person and became good friends. He made the effort to find out about animal sightings and took us to the locations. We were able to see the Big 5. He is a very safe driver. The company also arranged a 2 day beach stay in Mombasa for us. Again 100% for the arrangements. I absolutely recommend the company. John is the owner and is quick with his responses to any request. Finally, we felt we got good value for the cost of the tour. Compared to other operators- this company costs are reasonable. Cheers John and Peter

My friend and I were very excited for this trip (Massai Mara 2 days). However, a series of events almost turned this trip into a nightmare. First, the driver (Edwin) arrived 40min late saying he had a problem with the car. The car was terrible; by far, the oldest car I have seen during the journey. As the car was very old, all the trip was very 'shaky'. On the way to Massai Mara, we had a flat tire and had to stop for change. More 30-40min wasted. Then, we had to stop to had the flat tire fixed before going to the park. Inside the park, the car broke and we were stuck there for FOUR HOURS. Four hours inside the park, and the driver and company gave no alternative option but to wait. This was very frustrating, as we were waiting for months for this trip. We understand that cars can break, but if the car was not soooo old, the odds of this event would be lower. Also, again, the company had no backup plan for this. To top it ofF, the driver was not so nice. At certain point he said that the elephants undesrstood his situation better than us. Needless to say what he meant... The following day the driver was very rude, did not enter the park and continue the trip as if we were wrong, not the company. We asked him if he could drop us at the airport - which would be nice after allll we have passed. He said no, that he could not change the itinerary. In conclusion: I do not recommend this company. We lost almost 5 hours of our time during the trip and we had no compensation.
Lawrence was our tour guide in this amazing adventurous journey. He was very supportive and friendly person. He insight us regarding many information not only about the animals but also about the Masai villages. In short, it was one of the most interesting experiences in my lifetime and everything was amazing in the whole trip.
Lawrence is the best guide I have ever experienced. He helped us to show the safari, we spotted many great animals and the food and accommodation and everything else was fantastic. Me and my wife had a great time with him. I recommend everyone to have their Masai mara safari trip with him.
