Good and flexible organization
We did this as one day safari private trip. Good communication from the operators, we have been met early in the morning at Mombasa airport. Driver was good and seen a lot of animals up close (no lions, but you cannot have everything). I liked the lunch settings - you can see a lot of animals while having meal. Recommended.
Cons - I did not like people at the entrance to the park, selling stuff, the guy was kind of rude when we politely refused the hats. But they probably do that to everyone after talking to other travelers. Feel like the driver should be present and tell them to leave.
And also did not enjoy the guys at the airport taking our bags to the jeep - we could to that ourselves, it was kind of confusing why were they even there.And they also asked 20$ each for 100m walk - no way hah. It could also been better communicated with the driver.
But I have enjoyed the day, and would go again.

A well-structured tour with a great driver
+ Communication was clear, all questions were answered promptly, Ton is very responsive. The driver Mahmud was fantastic - the ride to the park was very smooth, on the safari itself he was attentive and very good at spotting animals & providing explanations. We also liked that he quickly noticed that we are rather "calm" explorers and provided us with a lot of personal space; at the same time, he was always making sure our needs are met.
- The car was a bit dusty, particularly the seats; however, we acknowledge that it might be hard to keep it in shape each tour due to the amount of sand that gets in; the day-plan could have an approximate hourly plan for orientation

Very professional and helpful! Wonderful experience!
We had a wonderful time with our 4 days safari in Kenya. Our driver was very professional and discrete. The organization of the safari was spotless and the company accommodated our requests to change some of the hotels provided in the first quotation. Communication was very quick and easy. I had requested other 5 quotations before choosing Netherken and I would choose it again 😊

tour operator is super flexibel and our tour was magical
We had a wonderful safari that we would recommend to anyone. A special thanks goes to our guide Badru, who put in a lot of effort and shared countless exciting insights with us.
Already before the trip, we were able to adjust and choose the accommodations according to our preferences, which made the planning very smooth. During the tour, we made a few adjustments as well – Netherken was extremely flexible, supportive, and reorganized everything seamlessly.
We traveled as a private group of three, accompanied by our guide who was also our driver. With the 4x4 Jeep with a pop-up roof, we were perfectly equipped to experience the wildlife of Tsavo East and Tsavo West up close. This combination of professional organization, individual flexibility, and unforgettable experiences made our safari truly special.

The absolute BEST. Can not find fault with Netherken Safaris. Our Guide Mahmud was brilliant.
The very best safari with the absolute BEST guide, Mahmud. He was very professional, answered all my many questions, went out of his way to ensure we seen as many of the wild life as possible, and we did. Wonderful experience, we have made a very good friend in our guide. We will definitely return using Netherken,
easy to book, friendly, everything ran smoothly. We will request Mahmud on our next trip. Thank you Netherken and thank you Mahmud

Amazing experience
We had Mahmud, to give us the best time. We saw a huge number of animals besides the big ones.. especially for me the eagles. Mahmud made the long treks so much fun and every day was great..! His knowledge and skill at spotting animals was amazing. Thank you.

Great trip! Good value, well organised & experienced guide!
Excellent communication from owner Ton right from the start. Ton took an interest in what I wanted and put together the perfect safari for me and my family. Guide Mahmoud was first class and very professional, organised and knowledgeable. Trip was good value and accomodation at Taiti hills, Severin and Sentrim was all great. Would highly recommend and good to support local family business rather than larger, corporate tour operator. We would look to book with them again without hesitation for our next safari!
Netherken is a very professional, trustworthy and well organized tour operator.
Our Safari with Netherken was from A - Z an absolute satisfying and wonderful experience! Our tourguide Mahmoud was 100% reliable, very friedly and super skilled! We‘ve seen almost every animal that we hoped. The communication between the company and us worked without any problems. In comparison to other Safari companies, Netherken was by far the best and most valuable Choice!
