Good price and beautiful park
The park is truly beautiful. Compared to other safaris, we had never seen so many animals in one day (we were there in march). Our guide was a really good driver and he was decent at spotting animals. We had another guide for a while who was much more enthusiastic and lively though.
We booked a private tour, but due to car problems or other issues, we had to share most of the time with other people in the car.
A friend of a friend recommended doing the budget option, but specifically the lenchada camp wasn’t too great. It’s very basic. It is okay if you prepare well for camping, but we didn’t receive much info beforehand.
The value for price of the whole trip overall was good, cheaper than many other options. But I would recommend the mid range if possible for your budget, other travellers said their lodges were great. Or maybe if they choose another budget camp it can be better. Communications with tour operator was great, very quick reply’s and was flexible.
Overall we enjoyed the experience.

Xavier is on top of his game!
I’m a regular client of Solo Safaris and for the the three years I’ve reached out to them to plan my out of town trips, I’ve never been disappointed. Xavier is always hands on and quick in responses. I highly recommend planning your vacations with him.
First Safari Experience
The online booking, communication during the booking process, before the safari and the whole experience - it was fast, professional and transparent. Our driver/guide was very eager to make sure that we get the best experience and don’t miss anything in this wide and beautiful national park. We’ve stayed in Jambo Camp. The accommodation was spacious, clean, the camp had everything that you need and the buffet was diverse and the food tasted good.

Unprofessional
We paid $1,200 for a 3-day Masai Mara safari and had a very disappointing, and at times, unsafe experience.
The guide provided little actual guiding or group management. For most of the trip, the vehicle felt like a party bus rather than a professional safari.
More concerning were the safety issues:
• the guide drank beer before driving
• frequently used his phone while driving
• failed to manage disruptive behavior
• at the end of the trip, we were dropped off at a gas station on the side of the highway and told to take an Uber instead of being transported to our accommodation as arranged.
The company later acknowledged the problem and suspended the guide, but refused any refund or compensation.
This was a once-in-a-lifetime trip that fell far below professional standards. I would not book with them again.

Amazing! Very helpful, organises everything and kept in contact
This is a delayed review but I wanted to share how brilliant this experience was. I was a solo traveller in June and contacted Xavier. He made me feel comfortable and safe and arranged everything with his team member James. James was the driver and again went above and beyond to ensure I had a great time with my group. I would recommend a group as you make new connections and memories with other like minded people. Lots of phot opportunities too. Value of money was brilliant so go for it!

The best
My Wasini Island experience was absolutely perfect from start to finish. Communication was clear and timely, the team was incredibly friendly and professional, and every part of the tour ran smoothly without a single delay. The service felt personalized, the activities were well-organized, and the entire day delivered excellent value for money. From the punctual pick-up to the comfortable drop-off, everything was reliable and seamless, making this one of the most stress-free and enjoyable tours I’ve ever taken. I would highly recommend it to any traveler looking for a smooth, memorable, and well-coordinated Wasini adventure.

Amazing coordination, communication and first class accomodations
I can't say enough good things about my Massa Mara experience and about the personal care I received from Xavier. The coordination starting from the hotel and return, the communication that took place during the trip, the wonderful accomodations exceeded all expectations. And I must reflect on the wonderful Kenyan and Maasai people I met. I never came across in all my travel such caring, humble, kind people. My driver took care of me when I got food poisoning and took me to a clinic in Massa Mara where I received the care and empathy I needed. He was there for me , made sure I drank plenty to avoid dehydration. Everyone knew I got ill, even Xavier. That young doctor even phoned the driver the following day just to check up on me. What more can I say. I never in my entire life living in the US have received such care, never mind a follow up phone call. This adventure and the wonderful people I met will be in my thoughts forever . You have an unpaid embassador

Professional
Me and my husband enjoyed safari very much. Everything was perfect. Maybe only our car were overcrowded (8+driver), but fortenately we were good team. Special thanks to our driver Leonard, who was really excellent. Hotels and food were very nice and good. Comparing price with the others in our car, we got much better hotels and the same safary experience for almost double price. All in all excellent expirience.
