Excellent safari experience in Tsavo East and West
4/5

We booked the highlights of Tsavo (East and West) with Netherken Safaris & Tours, and had no complaints about this whatsoever!
We got picked up at the hotel as scheduled and our guide Mahmud drove us through both national parks, finding as much wildlife as possible.
Everything was well arranged, from the safari-van to the bookings at the lodges. Mahmud took care of all our needs and made sure we saw everything there is to see!

Our family of 4 had a great time, well structured safaris and good communication
4/5

We are a family of 4 with a 4-year old and 11-year old and it was an early start from our hotel, but the pick up was bang on time. The driver was courteous and safe at all times with no crazy overtaking on the way there and back. Our safari was great with some fantastic close up lion encounters and our driver tried hard to locate as many different animals for us to see. His knowledge was good and even spotted a black adder snake and rare birds. The accommodation and food at the hotel lodge was very good with a varied choice (drinks were a little expensive). If we go again it will be with Netherken.

Perfect!
5/5

Our experience with Netherken Safari was perfect!
They were flexible with the itinerary (we started in Mombasa and they dropped us at a train station so we could go to Nairobi at the end of the safari).
They were really good value for money, they found us good balance between quality and budget for accomodation and we were able with them to do the trip with a jeep rather than a minibus.
Our driver was perfect, very nice, qualified and attentive. Thank you to him!
We did another safari in Kenya, with another agency, so I can really recommend this one, it was perfect overall!

Another brilliant Safari
5/5

Just back from a wonderful Safari with Netherken Safaris. We were picked up from our hotel in Mombasa by Mahmud our driver. We had opted for the Jeep Safari, rather than the van. We travelled to Tsavo West, Amboseli and finally Tsavo East (4 days, 3 nights). we had a few niggles at one of the lodges we stayed in but that wasn't Netherkens fault.
As a birdwatcher/photographer, Mahmud soon got used to what I liked, his knowledge was unbelievable and we saw everything except a Rhino (even though we went to the Rhino sanctuary). Some of the birds were fantastic and I have some once in a lifetime shots.
Would definitely travel with Mahmud and Netherken again. Thoroughly recommended!

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.

5/5

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.
