Five stars to our amazing tour planner, Reagan! Compared to a previous booking we had done before, he was surprisingly affordable, yet the quality of service was exceptional. He organized everything perfectly from booking our hotels in different destinations to planning every detail of our safari. He is very organized, professional, and truly passionate about what he does. Our 13-day journey in Kenya began at Masai Mara, where we almost completed our goal of seeing the Big Five. It was an incredible start to our adventure. We then proceeded to Lake Nakuru National Park, where we witnessed a crash of rhinos both black and white rhinos which was such a rare and beautiful sight. After Lake Nakuru, we visited Lake Naivasha for a boat ride. Seeing hippos safely from a distance and watching birds up close was such a peaceful and unique experience. We also explored Hell's Gate National Park, where we opted for electric bikes since we’re not very strong cyclists. It made the ride enjoyable and not tiresome at all!We returned to Nairobi for one night before continuing to Amboseli National Park, known for its large elephant herds and the breathtaking views of Mount Kilimanjaro, the highest mountain in Africa. The views were simply unforgettable. We had the best experience staying at Ol Tukai Lodge, which made our Amboseli stay even more special. Our final park was Tsavo West National Park, famous for its red elephants. It was the perfect way to end our safari adventure. Reagan ensured everything ran smoothly until the very end, dropping us at Voi Terminus for our SGR train to the beaches. From start to finish, it was a wonderful experience. Reagan was not just a tour planner he felt like family to us. We highly recommend him to anyone looking for an unforgettable and well-organized Kenyan safari experience.
We had an excellent time with Reagan in Hells Gate, Crescent Island and Crater Lake. He was able to arrange all transportation, paid for fees, etc so we didn’t have to figure it out on our own. He has so much knowledge about each location and was excellent with our kids also!
Thank you so much for your kind words! I’m really happy you had an excellent time at Hell's Gate National Park, Crescent Island, and Crater Lake Game Sanctuary. It was a pleasure organizing everything for you, and I’m especially glad the kids enjoyed it too! I truly appreciate you choosing me, and I hope to welcome you back again.
I had an amazing experience with my one and only driver guide, Reagan, whom I booked two months before my arrival in Kenya. From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized and stress-free. We visited Naivasha, where we enjoyed a beautiful Lake Naivasha boat ride and explored Hell’s Gate National Park—an unforgettable experience. The journey didn’t stop there; we also visited Lake Nakuru National Park and finally the world-famous Maasai Mara. It was truly our pleasure to visit two national parks and successfully see the Big Five. Reagan’s professionalism, patience, deep knowledge of the parks, and friendly nature made the entire trip exceptional. He knows Kenya inside out and makes you feel safe, comfortable, and well taken care of throughout the journey. If you’re stranded, unsure, or planning to visit Kenya and want the best safari experience, book with Reagan—and you’ll thank me later! Highly recommended! 🙌🐘🦁🦏
Regan was the best tour guide ever. Super insightful with amazing stories about the area, great sense of humour and overall 10/10 guy and experience. Can’t wait to come back!
Reagan was a great guide! Very knowledgeable, kind, and helpful. Made sure we were well taken care of and answered any questions we had. It gets quite hot, stay hydrated and be well covered.
Reagan is an excellent guide. He knows every animal, tree, plant, and story about this park. He also has a few pretty good dad jokes up his sleeve.
Reagan was the best guide I could’ve asked for! We had an excellent day biking around Hell’s Gate and seeing lots of animals- he knew so many facts and was an excellent photographer. I can’t recommend him highly enough!
Our trip to Hell's Gate National Park and Lake Naivasha was nothing short of extraordinary. The combination of biking through the breathtaking unflappable of Hell's Gate, exploring the gorges, and a pacific boat ride on Lake Naivasha made for an unforgettable adventure. The bike tour through Hell's Gate was delight. The park’s vast open spaces, framed by dramatic cliffs and wildlife grazing nearby, offered an unmatched sense of freedom. Seeing zebras, giraffes, and warthogs up close while cycling was an experience I will cherish forever. The terrain was manageable, making it enjoyable even for beginners.The guided walk through the gorges was equally fascinating. Our guide shared fascinating insights about the rock formations, local history, and the geothermal activity in the area. Climbing through narrow pathways and marveling at the natural rock formations felt like stepping into another world. The day ended with a relaxing boat ride on Lake Naivasha, where we spotted hippos bobbing in the water and a variety of bird species, including majestic fish eagles. The lake's calm waters and picturesque surroundings provided the perfect setting to unroll after an active day. To make long story short this adventure was a perfect mix of nature, activity, and relaxation. Hell's Gate and Lake Naivasha are a must-visit for anyone seeking a unique outdoor experience in Kenya. Highly recommended for nature lovers and adventure seekers!
