Excellent service with friendly contact persons and a great tour guide.
We had a great time in Tsavo East, Tsavo West and Amboseli. The tour was well organized, with beautiful lodges (we loved Satao Camp and Severin Safari Camp), John was very helpful and also helped to organize a birthday surprise for a friend, Amos our tour guide was just awesome, he gave everything to make our tour unforgettable. We will definitely book our next safari in Kenya with Trav-Interactive again. Thank you for the great experience!
Tina · Germany
Friendly, communicative, kind
This was my first safari and I loved doing it with Trav Interactive! They were great value for money. Really glad we did the fly in and fly out. The camp that we originally wanted was booked and they gave us an upgrade for free. The guides on the safari were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and hard working. Highly recommend!

A delightful adventure with lots of customization
Ben and Isaac were such lovely guides, they knew how to find great viewing spots for all animals, were knowledgeable of all the animals we saw, and very flexible with our jet lag! Loved them! Very funny and personable
