Outstanding custom safari experience
5/5

We (a group of 8 adults and 2 children)had very unique requirements for our safari - and there were several moving pieces to it. Wilson did an outstanding job of helping us plan, book, and manage our entire Kenya trip - which included visits to Masai Mara (flight + open jeep safari), and Amboseli Land Cruiser safari. The drivers he managed to secure for Masai Mara were outstanding and ensured we had the most amazing experience there. He also helped us book a private car with a guide to visit Lake Naivasha - which included a biking safari inside Hells Gate National Park, and a hike to the crater of Mount Longonot - again the driver he provided ensured we had very unique experience like buying fish in a local market and getting it cooked right there. After this - we had another private car that dropped us to Tsavo East from Mombasa and back. As you can see there were so many points and aspects that could have gone off schedule but not one did. Wilson was always available and on top of everything. He was flexible with the choices we had for our hotels and always eager to ensure we had a good time; he even come to the Masai Mara safari with us to ensure smooth running.

We are already planning our next trip to Kenya/Tanzania and will obviously directly work with Wilson to plan the next adventure. I strongly encourage you all to give him and his agency a chance to plan this once-in-a-lifetime trip for you and your group.

This was a really excellent 7 day safari visiting Maasai Mara, Nakuru, Hell's Gate, Naivasha and Amboseli. Very well organised with good places to stay. The driver was also very good. Excellent value for money

Reliable, helpful and quick to respond.
5/5

From the first contact to our return home Wilson has made himself available the help and assist. If I had a question or a concern, a quick WhatsApp and he replied within minutes, if we wanted to change our plans a bit, he sorted it out in a few clicks. He was very punctual, in constant contact with the drivers and hotels to make sure we were well cared for. The tours themselves were exactly as we had agreed and expected. Will I be using him again next time I visit? Absolutely.

Gracious people with a great sense of adventure and aptitude for guiding
5/5

Wilson was a straightforward communicator and connected with Charo who was also excellent. The tour was great from beginning to end. Everything was efficient and we maximized the potential with the time we had in the Mara. I would say the value of the tour was outstanding. They were all trustworthy and I would recommend to anyone looking for a memorable and informative experience.

A very enjoyable and worthwhile experience!
5/5

Wilson collected us from our Airbnb, on time (even a little early, which was perfect!) for our day in Nairobi National Park. He was really personable, friendly and knowledgable about the wildlife around us, and we got to see so much - from the lions, to the secretary bird, he pointed it all out to us, and he and the driver seemed to see things before we did. Our day was fitted in during a very short stay in Nairobi, and the communication and planning was so easy via WhatsApp. I can't recommend Wilson highly enough - and we look forward to using him on our next trip to Kenya, hopefully to go to the Mara. Thank you!

Well organised and knowledgeable tour guides
5/5

Samual and his colleagues were excellent guides, cooks and porters. Everything went according to plan, from the pick up from Nairobi, to the treks, accommodation, and food. We were paced correctly so we did not overdo it - very important at high altitude - and the whole team was friendly and knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

Excellent Maasai Mara 3d/2n tour
5/5

Excellent communication and organization by Mr. Wilson. He picked us up and got us dropped us as our hotel. Ensured we were in the safari van, for a 3 day 2 night Maasai Mara tour, on time and communicated very effectively and promptly. The tour was great, our tour guide Jeff spotted just about everything and was full of information about the region and animals. I’d recommend reaching out to them for a your Safari.

Great tour for massaimara, he knows a lot about animal life
5/5

He gave us the best price we found, car was a 90s landcruiser, we stayed in a good tent camp for 3 days, we went to a game drive every day we saw nearly all animals in park, its a life time experience. Note the roads to massai mara from Nairobi are very very bumpy in the last 70 km so try not to put hard case bags on top of the car as they will get damaged.

They made booking a safari easy
5/5

Wilson did a great job of organising a safari for me. Great communication, so quick to respond. He picked me up from my hotel and took me to join my group safari. He also made sure I got safely to the airport after I got back. It was definitely an amazing time and well worth it.

Absolutely incredible
5/5

We were a group of 4 doing a two weeks safari in Kenya visiting different national parks and with an extension to Uganda to see gorillas and chimpanzees. The trip was absolutely personalized for us, the price was unbeatable and the personnel (Mr. Wilson as well as the drivers Chance and Pieter) were very nice people always ready to make the trip amazing and easy for us.
I found several agencies offering safari trips but Mr. Wilson was the person who generated more confidence to me and he did not disappointed. After the first conversation with him, it was clear that he is an honest person, one of the most important things when you are scheduling this kind of trip. The whole trip was without extra costs and all the things scheduled were complied. Lodges and hotels where we stayed were amazing. All of them with probably the most comfortable beds where I have slept during a trip and with buffet style for eating. Vehicles used to do the safaris and to move from a park to another one were private so we could choose the rhythm (we could decide if we wanted to be more or less time watching something or if preferred to go to another location of the park). In addition, the guide’s skill to search animals and to place the car really close to the animals was unbelievable.
I recommend Maasai Mara Train without doubt. This was a dreamed trip with high expectations and it exceeded them. I only can thank to Mr Wilson to make it possible.
