What Our Guests Say About Us…
Collins Made it all feel easy!
Collins curated an excellent itinerary to Lewa Conservancy, Meru and Masai Mara and at exactly the right level. He was very flexible given a few changes forced on us by the airlines. The guides from the accommodations we stayed at all destinations were also brilliant and thus everything worked a treat. It was especially reassuring knowing that there was someone easily contactable if things didn’t go quite to plan which in the event they didn’t. A most memorable trip
Just an incredible adventure all around!
From the moment we first reached out to Kenya Wild Parks to the end of our journey, the experience was beyond what we could’ve hoped for. We got to do everything we’d dreamed of on this trip. Erick was fantastic—so thoughtful and detail-oriented when creating our itinerary. As if that's not enough, everyone we met was warm, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about their work. You could see the pride and care in every part of the experience. Just an incredible adventure all around!
Truly personalized service and attention
Amazing service from the planning, to the logistics and then during the trip communication. Erick tailored our itinerary to perfectly match our interests and we enjoyed every suggestion he made. From the first contact to the last detail of the last day, I felt like he was genuinely interested in making sure that we got the best possible experience. He was consistently available to assist us whenever we needed, which provided great peace of mind throughout the journey. We highly recommend Kenya Wild Parks for anyone planning a safari to Kenya. Thank you for making this such a memorable adventure!
A great itinerary professionally executed
It was fantastic, from the time we booked to each part of the holiday, we are very lucky to spot all of the Big Five. The transport between each location was handled by Paul who were friendly and lovely to spend time with. The locations were fabulous, the highlight being Masai Mara Game Reserve!
Great travel company for Safari in Kenia
I received a very prompt, friendly and helpful response to my online enquiry from Erick. Their itinerary was very detailed and spot on along with the services we received at all stages of planning our trip. Erick couldn’t have done anymore for us, he was patient and accommodating, despite numerous changes and questions from me. Amazing service and a good overall price.
We're pleased we chose them
All our pre booked excursions were top class. The highlight being our pre-dawn hot air balloon safari. Can be cold due to morning chill but worth it. Hotel adequate and food was great. Stayed in luxury tented camp, exactly what we wanted, a deep connection with nature. The visit to Maasai Village was fantastic for the kids. Overall expensive but a great experience.
