The best, most experienced and most friendly tour guide i’ve ever met

Steve was truly exceptional throughout our 4-day safari in Kenya, covering Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, and Lake Naivasha. From the moment we landed, he ensured everything ran smoothly and made us feel completely at ease. His knowledge of wildlife is remarkable. He always knew where to go and what to look out for, and thanks to him, we saw the big 5 and best part was a leopard with it’s kill . What stood out most was Steve’s genuine passion for his work. His excitement felt real every single day, and it was clear he takes pride in delivering unforgettable experiences. Beyond his professionalism, he’s incredibly kind, respectful, and always made sure we were comfortable and happy. He really knows everyone in Masai, and has good connections everywhere, which helped us a lot during our visit to Masai village. Was a great experience. Steve is not just a guide, but someone who truly cares and that made all the difference. We left Kenya with amazing memories and a new friend

The perfect safari. Great value, excellent guide, and an unforgettable experience

Boost Safaris is amazing! We've done a few different safaris in Botswana, Zimbabwe, Kenya, and Tanzania, and Steve with Boost safaris really stands out. He organized the perfect trip that allowed us to see several of the parks in Kenya (Masai Mara, Amboselli, and Nakuru). He can build trips that fit your budget, as he has connections at all of the lodges across the parks. He can certainly arrange tented trips for more budget-friendly itineraries, as well as luxurious lodges for others. When Steve first picked us up, it was clear it was going to be a great trip. He asked what we wanted to make it a great safari, and made it his goal to accomplish what we told him. Steve spoke excellent English (there was not a language barrier at all), and he mentioned he spoke 6 different languages. He was one of the best conversationalists I've ever been around. He asked questions out of a genuine desire to get to know us better and always had a perfect response or another question to keep the conversation engaging (which makes or breaks a safari when you're spending the entire day in the jeep). He knew a ton about every single animal, and he seemed to know several of the other guides very well, which helped in locating the action. During one of our days in Masai Mara, he took us directly to a cheetah which we got to see stalk prey for about an hour, then watch it hunt and kill a gazelle. It was truly one of the most incredible experiences I've had in my life! Since our trip, we still text Steve regularly--he's now a very close friend of ours, all because we trusted him to take us on safari. Do yourself a favor and book your Kenya safari with Boost.

The best choice

For our honeymoon, we decided to do a safari in Kenya, with Boost Safaris. We spent almost a week with Steve and his assistant George. Two wonderful people that we will never forget. We always felt safe with them. Steve knows very well his work and the different national parks of Kenya. Steve knows where to find the right spots to observe animals up close and he’s the best pilot ever seen! We were very satisfied with our choice and we can only highly recommend Boost Safaris. A very big thank you to them for making us live an exceptional moment in nature!

Steve was engaging,entertaining and well informed ,bringing every moment of the safari to life

We had an unforgettable experience visiting Shaba National Reserve with our amazing safari game driver Steve. Thanks to Steve, we were able to spot elephants, giraffes, Zebras and even a hard-to find lions family. He shared fascinating facts about each animals and made sure me and my fiancé felt safe and engaged.
