Wonderful experience 11 day safari
We absolutely loved our 11 day safari through Kenya and Tanzania with Wecam safari. Mercy is very nice and professional, she arranged everything perfectly and checked in with us all the way through our trip to see if we were happy.
We chose this company because they had a perfect combination of basic tent travel and nice lodges/hotels for a very good price and were happy to change the itinerary for us.
One thing you should know though is that all the budget safari companies work together, so we were put in the same car with people from other companies due to low season. We were the only people who did the 11 days so we changed drivers 4 times, which was a bit much, but they were all very good. Especially in Kenya we felt very safe with Peter and Patrick who drove very well and are also good animal spotters. During our trip I got sick and Peter was so helpful to bring us to a doctor late in the evening for which he had to drive an hour through a national park though he hadn't even eaten his dinner yet.
Our favorite parts of the trip were Masai Mara, where we were able to get to the animals very closely. At Amboseli it's a little harder to spot animals, and the Kilimanjaro often hides behind the clouds but the kibo safari camp was one of the most beautiful camps I have ever seen. Then the pinched tent camping inside Serengeti and Ngorongoro definitely was one of the most adventurous and amazing things we've ever done!
So altogether we were extremely happy with our trip and would definitely recommend Wecam safari!!

Excellent Planning
Last year i decided to pay Kenya a Visit and chose Wecam safaris to organize a nice budget safari. They organised a smart six days safari where we visited Masai Mara, Nakuru Tsavo and Mombasa. All the hotels i was booked on were good. The game drives were awesome. We had the opportunity to sport all the big five animals Thelions Elephants in big numbers Rhinos and many more animals. Our Mombasa Safari was my best. Especially the boat ride to Wasini Island. The crew was fantastic. We were able to spot some amazing dolphins at Kisite marine Park and also we were able to see some nice sea creatures with the assist of the crew.
The way we were received at the JKIA was cool. I once felt at home in a foreign Land.
I can boldly recommend the services of Wecam Safaris to anyone.

Super Tours and Safaris Company Whose Services are Geared towards Client satisfaction
I and my friends used Wecam Safaris for a Three Nights Four Days Great Rift valley Safari. They made us tailored Safari that suited our needs perfectly. We were amazed by How the staff was so considerate. A truly dedicated team who listened to us always. They worked extra hard to make sure that we got the best services at the hotels. Finally we will be wrong if we dont give a big laud of applause to their driver who acted as both driver and guide. One could tell that the guy was passionate about his work

A Dream Safari in Kenya with Wecam Safaris
Wecam Safaris has made our African dream of a safari a reality. Since landing in Nairobi, their team has handled everything with extraordinary warmth and professionalism. Maasai Mara's game drives were magical - we saw lions, elephants and leopards on the first day! Our driver-guide was very knowledgeable and always tried to give the best experience. Accommodations were very comfortable and the food was excellent. If you are planning a safari in Kenya, you must consider Wecam Safaris. It's highly recommended!

I plan to travel with them again in the future.
Our experience with the Wecam Safaris was absolutely amazing. Every part of the tour was very well planned, so there was no trouble or confusion. Their in-depth knowledge especially about Nairobi NP, Masai Mara NR, Lake Naivasha NP, Amboseli NP in Kenya has enriched our experience. We took a customized package, and it was perfectly tailored to our needs. Wecam Safaris is truly an excellent choice for reliable and quality travel with family or group.

Smooth & Memorable Kenya Trip
It was a very good decision for us to choose Wecam Safaris for our trip to Kenya. Their team is very responsive and takes care of our comfort and safety at every step of the journey. The guides were experienced, friendly and informative - making each place seem more alive to us.
During the safari we were able to see many wild animals from close quarters, which was really exciting. The day-to-day planning was well organized, there was no rush or chaos. Accommodation, food and service were all excellent.
Part of the trip was a visit to Nairobi City, which gave us a better understanding of Kenya. At the end of the trip, we felt like we had come back with a full experience.

Memorable Tsavo East and West Safari
I went for Tsavo East and Tsavo West safaris with Wecam Safaris from Nairobi. Everything was very well organized from start to finish. The guide was very patient and knowledgeable, taught a lot about animals. It was easy to take photos with the roof off the car. Beds were comfy and clean. The food was fun, too. Coming to Africa for the first time was such a beautiful experience that will be remembered for a long time.

A very special safari
Tour itinerary: Mercy planned the tour expertly so that we were able to fit Maasai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Diani Beach all into an 8 night trip. The pace was great for us, we saw and did everything that we wanted while not feeling rushed. We had extra down time in the nicest hotels when needed.
Guide: Don is the best! His knowledge on the animals, wildlife and culture was so informative and fun, we learnt so much he really did Kenya, the people and the animals proud! His ability as a guide was clearly excellent as we managed to see all of the big 5 by the second day of our trip. He made the point that who your guide is really shapes your trip and we couldn’t agree more, and truly Don was fantastic. He was flexible in timings and was very accommodating, making great suggestions. We highly recommend Don!
Hotels:
The hotels we stayed at on Safari were all great. We went in march which is low season, so some of the hotels were not busy which meant that the food and the service was excellent (à la carte instead of buffet food, very attentive waiters). The leopard beach resort in Diani was a little run down, but Mercy’s preferred hotel was booked out so this is no reflection on wecam. The sopa lodge in lake Naivasha is a MUST!! Zebras in the compound and we even came across some giraffes on the path on the way back to our room!
Communications: Mercy and Emily were very communicative throughout, quick responses to emails before the trip and WhatsApp messaging while there. When we had left our guide after safari Mercy still messaged to make sure we had checked in and everything was good so could not fault the comms. Additionally it was our birthday during the trip and Mercy planned a surprise and made it so special, showing she really cares about all her clients.
Value for money: We think that the tour was excellent value for money, we paid what we considered mid range and feel we got that in hotels. One thing to note which we hadn’t entirely anticipated was the tipping culture, we had cash ready to tip our guide but we would recommend having small bills to tip hotel staff, we only had larger which made this difficult.
We had a wonderful guide so for what we were able to see, the memories we were able to make and the experience we had was worth every penny.
Finally comments: we want to really thank the team at Wecam for such a wonderful safari, Mercy and Emily for the wonderful planning and Don for being an unforgettable guide. We have already recommended to our parents to use them for a safari trip and we would recommend for you to all do the same!

VERY GOOD EXPERIENCE
It was an incredible experience with WeCam. Our guide, Don, and our translator, Allan, were very kind and attentive to us throughout the entire trip. The organization was excellent, and the service from both Mercy and the guides was very quick and efficient from the moment they picked us up at the airport.
In our experience, the itinerary was very good, and they adapted it to our requests, taking us to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli. We recommend checking if you prefer to go to Lake Nakuru instead of Naivasha, as seeing the hippos is not guaranteed since they don't leave the water during the day.
We highly recommend WeCam and hope to travel with them again in the future!
Thank you so much, Mercy, Allan, and Don!!! 👍🏼

Six Days of Safari Magic.
Our 6-day Discover Africa Safari with Wecam Safaris was absolutely fantastic! Everything was perfectly organised from booking with Mercy. Day 1-2 The sunrise game drive and sunset views in Masai Mara were incredible – saw the Big Five, got up close to lions, cheetahs, and migrating herds. The boat ride on Lake Naivasha was super fun, up close with hippos and birds. The elephant herds in Amboseli with the backdrop of Kilimanjaro were breathtaking – the diversity of swamps and plains on the full day game drive was amazing. (Guide Dennis was a knowledgeable, friendly and safe driver). Lodges comfortable, food delicious, and communication seamless. As first-time safari-goers, I feel lucky to have had such a great experience.
