Wilson was excellent- a great driver and skilled guide with great knowledge of the wildlife and terr

We went as a grouo of 9 in two separate vehicles with Wilson and Caleb as our guides, both were excellent. Wilson was a great driver that made us feel safe on rugged terrain. He has excellent vision and could spot wildlife from far away and made sure we got to see animals as they appeared during the safari. I would highly recommend Wilson as a guide. The safari itself was wonderful and the lodges we stayed in during the evenings were lovely - one of which had wildlife like zebras and monkeys on premises roaming freely. Overall, the 4 day tour was well worth the money and an experience i won't forget! Thank you, Wilson, for a great trip!

Great overall experience!

Before our trip, Janet from Javiva was super helpful. She was professional, responsive, and gave me confidence that any questions we had would be answered thoroughly. Then once we arrived in Nairobi to begin the safari, pickup at our hotel was simple and the adventure began. Our driver, Wilson, took great care of us throughout our whole trip. He was knowledgeable, accommodating, and fun. He gave us plenty of facts during our drives and answered any questions that we had. We always felt safe and taken care of when we were with him. He was also a great balance of conversation and just letting us rest quietly or talk amongst ourselves. During game runs, he was able to point out all sorts of animals we would have had a hard time seeing or identifying ourselves, and he made sure that we always got as close as possible for the best angles of the hippos, lions, elephants, etc. He is clearly very good at what he does and we felt fortunate to have him guiding us for four days. Thank you, Wilson and Javiva, for an amazing trip!

Janet was awesome! She was kind, professional and maintained good communication with us throughout

Our trip was amazing!! My sister and I truly enjoyed ourselves!! As I stated Janet was awesome! She kept the lines of communication open and was flexible throughout the planning process. Janet organized a great itinerary for us. We got to see “The Big 5” and much more! We loved the Maasai Mara the best and wish we stayed more days there. Our driver Anthony was great- I recommend him as well. He was very knowledgeable about various things throughout our safaris and kept our drives entertaining. We have loads of beautiful photos and memories to last us a lifetime!! I hope to come back in the future and would use Janet’s company again on a heartbeat! 😊

Caleb was extremely knowledgeable and friendly.

The tour was definitely worth the cost! We had the best time. Our tour guide, Caleb, was so knowledgeable about all of the plants and animals. He indulged every one of our questions. The Sopa Lodges were some of the most stunning hotels I have stayed in.
