Reliable operator. From booking to picking us up to the actual safari had been good.
4/5

The driver, George, is knowledgeable about wildlife, birds/fowls and plants. He’s trying to get us see more during the game drive. Accommodations were the same as what we booked. The itinerary had been changed a bit but areas were covered except without going to the Rhino Sanctuary so we do end up seeing rhinos. George took us from Mombasa to Nairobi which was a long drive (I felt sorry for him). He was very nice and gave us a very quick tour of tge Nairobi town. We thanked him very much.

The tour was very well organized, from the transportation to our driver, who was very friendly and attentive. The price was definitely very fair for what we chose. I would highly recommend it to others.

We just got back from our incredible one day safari. We wanted to pass along the breathtaking experience that we had and how much Mahmoud played a roll in it. Top notch all the way around from the start of our booking until drop off. Thank you so much for creating a memory of a lifetime.

Personalised and perfectly arranged trip with Mahmud from Netherken Safaris
5/5

From start at our place till dropping of at our next stay after the safari we had a great 3-day trip with our personal driver, visiting Tsavo West np and Amboseli np. It felt at home being with Mahmud, learning from him about more than the game and enjoying gamedrive, coffees and diners.

Good and flexible organization
5/5

We did this as one day safari private trip. Good communication from the operators, we have been met early in the morning at Mombasa airport. Driver was good and seen a lot of animals up close (no lions, but you cannot have everything). I liked the lunch settings - you can see a lot of animals while having meal. Recommended.

Cons - I did not like people at the entrance to the park, selling stuff, the guy was kind of rude when we politely refused the hats. But they probably do that to everyone after talking to other travelers. Feel like the driver should be present and tell them to leave.
And also did not enjoy the guys at the airport taking our bags to the jeep - we could to that ourselves, it was kind of confusing why were they even there.And they also asked 20$ each for 100m walk - no way hah. It could also been better communicated with the driver.


But I have enjoyed the day, and would go again.

Very professional and helpful! Wonderful experience!
5/5

We had a wonderful time with our 4 days safari in Kenya. Our driver was very professional and discrete. The organization of the safari was spotless and the company accommodated our requests to change some of the hotels provided in the first quotation. Communication was very quick and easy. I had requested other 5 quotations before choosing Netherken and I would choose it again 😊

tour operator is super flexibel and our tour was magical
5/5

We had a wonderful safari that we would recommend to anyone. A special thanks goes to our guide Badru, who put in a lot of effort and shared countless exciting insights with us.
Already before the trip, we were able to adjust and choose the accommodations according to our preferences, which made the planning very smooth. During the tour, we made a few adjustments as well – Netherken was extremely flexible, supportive, and reorganized everything seamlessly.
We traveled as a private group of three, accompanied by our guide who was also our driver. With the 4x4 Jeep with a pop-up roof, we were perfectly equipped to experience the wildlife of Tsavo East and Tsavo West up close. This combination of professional organization, individual flexibility, and unforgettable experiences made our safari truly special.
