The tour operator was very cooperative and very good in fulfilling our wishes.
5/5

We had a very wonderful experience in Kenya, where we visited 3 national parks plus had a boat trip on Lake Naivaisha.
We were taken care of by 2 persons from Peak Seasons - first by Fredrick with whom we communicated initially. Fredrick was very fast in answering all our questions and concerns, and he made a very nice proposal for our program, that we together moderated until we were very happy for the program. The program showed to be excellent in reality as well. The 3 parks we visited were different with different qualities and the accommodations chosen by Peak Seasons were excellent. We were welcomed by Fredrick, when we arrived, which was very nice. After that we got our driver and guide, Kevin.
We were very happy with Kevin as well. He was driving safely. When we were in the parks, he was very good in spotting the animals and telling us about them / and he was also very flexible, when we had special wishes - and he was a very nice person to be with, which counts since we were a lot together.

5/5

We took a safari trip from Mr. Fedrick(Peak Season), all the itinerary was executed as planned. We had exclusive Safari jeep with us, and a Safari guide.

The guide(Nelson) was able to show us the big five, and was fluent with his English.

We enjoyed the trip with nelson & looking forward for another trip to Tanzania

Professional, courteous and knowledgeable - Peak Season Africa Safaris are the safari experts.
5/5

We just returned from the trip of a lifetime in Magical Kenya. Thank you so much Peak Season Africa Safaris for making our dream holiday become a reality. All our expectations were met and surpassed. From my first interaction with Fredrick at Peak Season Africa Safaris I was assured that the company would work with us to plan the trip as we wanted it to be and to ensure all our wishes were met. I told Fredrick we wanted to see as many animals and as much of the country as possible and together we put together the most amazing of that. We visited Amboseli, Samburu, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the fabulous Maasai Mara where we ended our trip with an early morning balloon safari. This was our first trip to Africa but it will not be our last and we will definitely use Peak Season Africa Safaris again - I have already recommended them to family and friends. THANK YOU.

This was my second trip to kenya and Peak Season Africa Safaris ensured it was my best. I was specific in what i wanted to do and see. Fredrick and Silas made sure that the experiences went above and beyond my expectations.
I would recommend them and use their services again without hesitation.

When you tour with Peak Season Africa Safaris, you're family!
5/5

My wife and I recently had the pleasure of taking a one week honeymoon safari tour with Peak Season Africa Safari in Kenya! It was an unforgettable experience - we toured Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli. From the moment we booked with Peak Season Africa Safaris, we felt like we were part of their family. They offer affordable, private safaris that are tailored to your needs. They truly go above and beyond to ensure that your trip is perfect! Our driver, Hassan, was not only knowledgeable about the animals on our game drives, but made the trip even more special with his sense of humor and friendly personality. He was also respectful towards the wildlife during our game drives, which was important to us. After a week of hanging out together every day, it was sad to leave him.

Booking with a smaller company like Peak Season Africa Safaris means that you will receive personalized attention and be treated like family. They truly exceeded our expectations and made our honeymoon unforgettable. We are so grateful for the amazing time we had with Peak Season Africa Safaris and can't wait to book another trip with them. Special shoutout to Fredrick, Silas, Hassan, and the entire reservation team!

Overall a Average Safari
3/5

Overall, the experience was average. There are some important points that need improvement.

Negative aspects:
The main issue was the scheduling and travel times. According to the itinerary, on the first day we were supposed to arrive at Masai Mara around lunchtime and have a game drive in the afternoon. However, we only arrived at 4 PM, and the park closed at 6:30 PM.
On the third day, we travelled from Masai Mara to Amboseli Park, and the journey took much longer than expected. The proposal mentioned we would arrive around lunchtime, but we only got there at 6 PM, with the park closing at 7 PM.
As a result, on those days we barely had any time for safari activities, even though we paid the park entrance fees. At one point, we were even advised to go straight to the accommodation instead of entering the park, but the entrance fee would not have been refunded.
This was quite disappointing for us, as we were expecting plenty of time for game drives, but ended up spending too much time on the road instead.

About the organization:
Peter, who handled all the arrangements, always replied quickly to our messages, which we appreciated. However, at the same time, it often felt like he wasn’t fully attentive or dedicated to our questions. During the trip, he was not flexible when we raised concerns about the limited time we had in the parks, which added to our frustration.

Positive aspects:
Our driver and guide, Songe, was good. He really tried his best to make up for the lost time and to follow the itinerary as planned. As he mentioned, the people who design the itineraries are in the office and don’t really understand the reality of travelling on the ground.
The accommodations were also very good and matched our expectations. And, of course, the safari itself - the game drives - were fantastic. Our driver worked very hard to show us all the animals, and that made the experience truly memorable.

Kenya Safari in August 2025
3/5

We booked a 6-day, 5-night Kenya safari for August 2025. We compared multiple providers and ultimately chose a high-season safari in Africa.

Itinerary: two nights in Amboseli, one night in Lake Nakuru, and two nights in the Masai Mara.

On June 19th, we paid our deposit.

On June 23rd, we received our first contract update, changing our hotel in Lake Nakuru. Since there were many nearby hotels, I thought it was a good option.

On June 27th, we received our second contract update, also changing our hotel in the Masai Mara. The new hotel was significantly worse than our previous one (Google rating: 3.9 vs. 4.8) and the location wasn't great either.

On July 31st, 10 days before our departure, we received our third contract update, changing our hotel in Amboseli. It was a nightmare. The hotel was like a two-star hotel, and we didn't even have room for our luggage. The location was terrible, two hours from the park entrance, and the road was terrible. Compared to our original hotel, we had to drive an extra three hours to reach the park.

- Our flight arrived at 5:10 AM, but our driver arrived around 8 AM. Our first day's plan was to do an afternoon safari in Amboseli. We needed to get from the airport to the hotel, rest briefly there, and then head to the park. Remember my last comment about the location of the Amboseli hotel! That day was truly terrible day, full day drive and only 1 hour in the park.

- Our contract stated that in the Masai Mara, we would have an afternoon safari on our arrival day, a full-day safari, and a morning safari on our final day. However, we only had a two-day ticket, which allowing us to enter the park only two days. Also, given the hotel's location, our first afternoon safari would only be one or two hours, leaving us unable to enter the park on our final day. We had confirmed this with our driver from the start, and he said we could enter the park on our final day as long as we departed before 10 AM. If we had known this from the beginning, we would have stayed longer in Lake Nakuru (to get more sleep) and skipped the afternoon safari on our first day. We would have planned a longer safari on our final day, as we would have been returning to Nairobi hotel (not airport).

- Hotels play a crucial role in a Kenyan safari, and we changed all our hotels after we paid. But why three stars, and not the worst? Kenya is truly beautiful, and we felt safe upon our return.
