As you travel, enjoy panoramic views of dry savannah, acacia-dotted scrubland, rolling hills, and rocky outcrops. Wildlife moves freely between the parks, so keep an eye out for elephants, giraffes, and zebras. Arriving by midday allows time to relax before an afternoon game drive in Buffalo Springs. This reserve is more verdant than Samburu and is home to elephants, lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras, and antelopes. The Ewaso Ng'iro River is a major wildlife hub, attracting animals to drink.

The best experience

Everything was fun and it was a wonderful experience. Our driver, George, was always considerate and took full responsibility for getting us home! Thank you!

Extraordinary

I had the most incredible safari experience thanks to our guide, Francis! From the very beginning, he was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about wildlife. He always knew exactly where to go and somehow managed to spot animals we would have completely missed on our own.

Exceeded All Expectations

We give our full recommendation to planning and booking your Kenya Safari with Super Eagles Travel and Tours Limited. We are a family of three (two adults and our 10-year-old son) who visited Kenya in October 2025 from the 18th through the 25th. Our program included two nights in Amboseli NP (Sentrim Lodge), two nights in Masai Mara NP (Sopa Lodge), one night in Lake Nakuru NP (Sopa Lodge) and a final night in Lake Naivasha / Hell’s Gate NP (Sopa Lodge). Bildad was our primary contact at Super Eagle. We had a general idea what we hoped to see, but he proposed the concrete plan and suggested the hotels to us (sorted by price). He arranged a taxi to pick us up from the airport in Nairobi and drop us off at the nearby Nairobi hotel that we had booked for ourselves. The next morning, when our safari had officially started, James picked us up and we began the drive to Amboseli. James was very friendly and polite. During our safaris, he was asking if we had any preferences and when we told him at the end of day two that we’d love to see a hyena, he spent hours trying to get us near one and was constantly asking all the passing drivers if they had seen one recently. We flew from Amboseli to Masai Mara, so we had to say goodbye to James and were greeted in Masai Mara by Daniel who took care of us for the rest of the trip. Daniel was also great, especially in our lion and leopard searches. I didn’t imagine in advance how all the drivers in the park stay in contact with each other on walkie talkies so that news of a rare sighting is shared quickly with other visitors. Since our safari ended in the morning, but our flight out of Nairobi was in the late afternoon, we hired Daniel to spend the ½ day with us so that we could go to the giraffe park in Nairobi. We were very happy with our itinerary, our tour guides and our accommodations.

Great

We traveled to Kenya on a safari with Globetracker agency. We were lucky that the local partner of Globetracker is Super Eagles Travel and Tours. The driver Sikona was excellent. Communication with him was without any problem. He tried to fulfill all our wishes. He is very familiar with safari roads full of holes and mud. He managed to find animals and get close to them without scaring them. He knows a lot about animals and tried to tell us as much as possible and explain everything. Unfortunately, I did not go on a safari to the Masai Mara reserve because I was sick.. The next day, Sikona went through the reserve, on a longer route, and found elephants so that I could enjoy watching them. All praise for Sikona..
