5.0/5We had an unforgettable safari experience in Kenya, visiting Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Our driver, Cina, is truly the absolute number one! With his 21 years of experience, you can immediately see that he knows every single corner of these parks. He took us to incredible places and gave us the chance to see lions early in the morning – twice we were the very first car in the park to spot them, before anyone else arrived. The lodges were very nice – not top luxury, but still comfortable and charming. The agency handled things fairly well overall, although we were asked to make part of the payment in cash: an initial deposit with bank transfer/credit card, and then quite a big amount we had to withdraw in cash for the balance. Apart from this, everything went smoothly. This safari was a fantastic, once-in-a-lifetime experience, and I especially want to thank Cina, our driver – without him, it wouldn’t have been the same. Truly the best!

I had an absolutely amazing experience with this tour operator during my four day Masai Mara/Lake Nakuru safari. Since the moment I contacted Dextrip Safari for a quote, the tour operator agent (Antony) was very thorough and responsive with his timely response to all my inquiries, as well as being proactive with providing the pertinent details about the safari tour. Impressed with his professionalism as well as with the incredible tour itinerary, naturally I booked this tour with the deposit. When the tour began, I was even more impressed with their staff, their wonderful tour guides, their flexibility and consideration with accommodating the needs of their guests, their equipment, their choice of a wide array of accommodations ranging from budget to mid luxury to luxury, their attention to details and their commitment to provide a memorable safari experience for all their guests. Overall, I commend this tour company for their excellence and speciality in delivering a memorable safari experience to me and my fellow tour guests.

Despite booking last minute the accommodations were lovely (brochure - like) and I’ll never forget the experience. The company reps and guide were communicative, accommodating, and flexible when certain detours were needed like an ATM run or traffic. Overall, I always felt I was in good hands!
