We had an amazing experience with Tieras Safari in Kenya. Our time in Ol Pejeta was unforgettable, especially seeing the incredible elephants up close. A big thank you to our driver Eric, who was friendly, attentive and very patient. The vehicle was clean, well maintained and very comfortable. Highly recommend.

We had an unforgettable trip to Kenya, and we can highly recommend Tierras Africa Safaris!

We just returned from an unforgettable trip to Kenya, and we can highly recommend Tierras Africa Safaris! From the moment we landed, the owner of the company David, and our personal guide Peter made us feel at home and made this a truly magical trip! Our journey began in Nairobi, where we explored the Nairobi National Park, the Giraffe Centre, and the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust to meet some adorable, orphaned elephants. The highlights of our trip were definitely the multiple safaris in Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and the Maasai Mara. Our night’s stay in Aberdares at the Ark was amazing. We also had the chance to visit a Maasai village. The cultural exchange was enriching, and it was inspiring to learn about their traditions and way of life. All were bucket-list experiences that exceeded all expectations. The sheer beauty of the landscapes and the thrill of spotting the big 5 and the special 5 and so much more, in their natural habitat left us in awe. Our guide Peter was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating insights about the wildlife and ecosystem. Peter went above and beyond in order for us to have an amazing experience. His relationship with the other guides made it possible for us to see tons of unique events in real time. The accommodations were comfortable and offered a perfect blend of luxury and authenticity. If you’re considering a trip to Kenya, go for it and book with Tierras Africa Safaris!
