5.0/5The 5-day safari with Samuel and his colleagues was great. Unfortunately our vacation time was too short to do a longer tour. The team is very flexible, it is rearranged if necessary to guarantee the safety of the guests (on the day we wanted to go to Nairobi there was unrest), and the program was changed at short notice. Even the change was so good that it was not even noticed that the program was changed. Extra wishes are also taken into account and implemented in the tour planning. The hotels / accommodations were top, so well done that you can see wild animals like elephant, lion and buffalo from your hotel room all day long. You have to get up very early, but you are at the most important spots before all the other tourists arrive and it gets crowded. Samuel and his team have a perfect sense of timing to be in the right place at the right time. You can even see the leopard in the tree. The other tourists spent hours afterwards hoping in vain that they would see it. Thanks to Samuel, we were able to see it. The service is excellent, the driver has a very good feel for his vehicle and is always in full control, even in the most difficult terrain. Samuel also provides reading material on the individual doors. He simply knows the best places to see wild animals or go for a meal. We will plan another tour with Samuel on our next vacation. Bush Thorn safaris is the best👌🏽

The Safari with Bush Thorn safaris was the best. We saw all the big five and some other animals. My family and I really enjoyed the 5 day Safari and Samuel and Joseph, who were very professional and respectful became part of our family members. Our itinerary was well planned: 5 DAYS TSAVO EAST, TSAVO WEST, NAIROBI, LAKE NAIVASHA SAFARI. I will advice all the others Visitors to choose Bush Thorn safaris anytime.

The tour was nice, it was very early in the morning and we saw many animals. Communication and service was perfect and your money doesn’t go to waste. They were very reliable Samuel and Joseph are the best.

I can only recommend Bush-thorns Adventures and Safaris! Amazing experience. Both Joseph and Samuel are great guides, friendly people with a ton of knowledge to share. I loved the respect they showed towards the nature and animals, which sadly is not always the case with other tour operators, as we witnessed a few times. I would especially recommend their service to people with deeper interest in nature, most of all zoology, as their knowledge is far beyond average. Our group consisted of people who all studied biology in the past (and most are still active in the field) and we were super pleased to be able to determine pretty much any species we saw and to learn more details about their ecology. I also appreciated that the safari plan can be tailored to our needs, including the decisions about what locations to see, the budget and accommodation levels, vegetarian food options, pick up times and so on. The communication and planning was smooth and pleasant and allowed us to explore Kenya's national parks in a non-stressful way while still learning so much. It was my first trip to Africa and it was awesome, thank you guys once again! Best of luck!
