Great route, great nature, good hotels, best driver.
I'll just say to our driver Stephen -- thank you for a great experience, for the opportunity to see so much and for your persistence in finding beautiful animals.

Extremely unreliable
I have used Kenya Bush Expeditions 3 times and have been let down twice.
My last Safari a week ago, somehow the email between them and me was hacked. I’m not sure if it was an outsider or someone within their organisation but I was told to pay for the tour upfront and when I arrived in Kenya I was told of the scam and advised they had not received payment for the tour.
They were kind enough to arrange something last minute but it was not the same as the original itinerary requested.
The driver arrived late to collect me on the first morning. When we approached our destination, over an hour and a half late, the driver stopped for a 20 minute breakfast. As a wildlife photographer this meant I had lost the whole mornings photo opportunity as the light was too harsh to take any photos in the park.
The driver just chased around the park for the day, he did not spot anything as he was driving too fast. Every time I asked him to stop he would respond, “you see something?” Or “must I stop?” Every time I had to repeat 3 or 4 times. Stop stop stop because he couldn’t follow a simple instruction.
On the second morning I wanted to take advantage of the good light for my photography as I had missed out on day 1. I arranged with him to meet at exactly 06:00 for a quick breakfast and leave at 06:15. Once again he was late. After being late the day before he didn’t have the decency to make sure he woke up on time for the arranged departure time.
Very disappointing, will not use them again.

good and reliable service
We had a day tour from Mombasa to Tsavo East. The communication was fast and simple and the booking was easily arranged. We had a great day at Tsavo with Alex and his father. Overall: good and reliable service. Most recommended.

Reliable and caring partner for safari tours
We chose Kenya Bush expeditions for the rate level and adequate price for a private 2 days safari in Amboseli. all payments are supported by receipts. It was a van on time. And great driver and guide Durias, who became our friend within these 2 days. We could use our time and stops to buy drinks and fruits, visiting Masai village. In the park we made a lot of raids to the best animals watch places in savanna or around the lake with flamingos and hippos. All went great and filled us the impressions we could not expect.

The tour guy was nice but demanded extra pay.
I booked the tour through TripAdvisor, securing it for the listed price of $85 for the 6:30 tour. However, the organizer contacted me via WhatsApp on the evening of the tour, stating he would pick me up at 6:15. Upon arrival, he proceeded to pick up other participants from a different hotel before reaching the park gate. To my surprise, he then requested an additional $45, catching me off guard. Reluctantly, I agreed to pay in cash upon our return to my hotel, complying with the unexpected demand.
To further add to the frustration, we were left waiting for approximately 40 minutes at the park gate, with no communication about the delay. Eventually, the tour commenced. My concern lies in the discrepancy between the advertised price paid online and the unanticipated extra charge in person. This unexpected financial request and lack of transparency about delays were disappointing aspects of an otherwise anticipated experience.

Meeting the Maasai and safari in Amboseli
Our full day trip to meet the Maasai and experience Amboseli National Park was nothing short of amazing and an experience we will never forget.
Our guide was knowledgeable, professional and had a great sense of humor. The Safari was spectacular. We saw a huge number of animals including lions, hippos, giraffes, hyenas, zebras and elephants. Lunch was at a lodge in the park which was a great african inspired venue serving good food.
The visit to meet the Maasai was really good. Entertaining as much as educational about the way they lived, their culture and how they treated disease and sickness. An experience that won't be forgotten. The downside, and Im being picky here was at the end when we were pushed heavily to purchase items they pretend are made by the Massai in the village at extremely expensive prices, when they are nothing more than mass produced souvenirs found at every airport throughout Africa. Otherwise, and extremely good day from start to finish.

Perfect to tour Africa!
The prior communication is very good. John was perfect in answering our many questions . We really wanted to have an excellent safari experience. Our visit to Maasai Mara was excellent and had a great time. Easy company to deal with!

A safari living up to the greatest expectations!
From the start we had an excellent communication with Kenya Bush Expeditions. John answered immediately to all our questions and gave us good information. We booked a private safari to Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Our guide, Geoffrey, was very friendly and had an excellent eye to spot the animals. We stayed in the most amazing lodges, and we saw so many animals. We also went to Masai Mara (with another company), but we actually preferred this safari over the Mara. We can highly recommend Kenya Bush Expeditions, as it was a perfect Safari for a good price. Thank you guys!

Masai Mara trip (2 nights, 3 days)
I was picked up from my house in Nakuru and driven to meet the tour group in Naivasha. This was very convenient as I did not want to have to travel to Nairobi. Overall, the trip was very exciting and our driver made sure we saw as much as possible in the national park. However, I felt the driver could have been a bit more friendly. I do think that the experience really depends on your driver. Our tour group was a combination of people from all different safari companies which surprised me. Often we were not sure of the exact schedule. However, I did have a very enjoyable experience and highly recommend visiting the Mara.
