Affordable and full of adventure.

I had a fantastic experience with this company! Everything was well-organized and reliable from start to finish. My guide Jackson was incredibly knowledgeable and made sure we saw as much wildlife as possible, every game drive was exciting and rewarding. Compared to other tours I looked into, this was a great value for money and surprisingly more affordable without compromising on quality. Highly recommended for anyone looking for an authentic and budget-friendly safari experience

Professional, well organized and attentive

Our experience to Kenya was just amazing! We did a 7-day tour and visited some of Kenya’s top national parks — Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. The accommodations were well-selected midrange options, and every part of the trip exceeded our expectations. We especially loved our stay at Olkinyei Mara Tented Camp. We were told it’s a new camp, and it truly impressed us — from the warm hospitality of the staff to the delicious food, everything was spot on. We’re so glad we chose The 3Ps Tour & Travel — they made the entire planning and travel process smooth and memorable.

I recently had the pleasure of traveling to Lake Naivasha with The 3Ps Tour and Travel, and it was truly an unforgettable experience! From the seamless booking process to the well-organized itinerary, everything was handled with professionalism and care. The trip itself was breathtaking—Lake Naivasha's scenic beauty, the refreshing boat rides, and the serene environment made for a perfect getaway. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and ensured that every traveler felt comfortable and engaged. Their expertise made the tour even more enjoyable, offering insights into the area’s rich history and wildlife. What stood out most was the attention to detail and customer satisfaction. Every moment was carefully curated to provide a memorable experience, making me appreciate the effort put into ensuring a smooth and delightful adventure. I genuinely look forward to another trip with The 3Ps Tour and Travel in the future. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a stress-free and exciting travel experience!
