Maasai Mara Safari
4/5

This was a great tour for the value. Perminus was able to give us all the information we needed during our months of planning. The driver was prompt and we (4 women) felt safe for the entire 3days of our trip. The driver made sure we were able to see as much animals as possible on our outings to the park. We stayed at Enkorok which was very rustic and a great experience of ‘glamping’. The staff at the camp was pleasant and very accommodating. We also enjoyed the balloon ride and the visit to a nearby Maasai village which was also planned by African Marvel.

Very organized 5 days safary by Perminus!!!
4/5

Perminus made me an offer with many different options and gave me a lot of details about the safari!
He recieved me in his office in Nairobi an took a lot of time to planify these 5 days!

I would have given 4 1/2 stars but I could only give 4 or 5 so it was 4!

If I rate my experience with ‘only’ 4 stars it’s because of my driver! He was always on time and just nice but that was it! He has not given me the impression that he was really passionate about his job! I have done several other safaris (Tanzania,..) so that I could compare! I spoke during my stay in the lodges to other guides who impressed me much more an he was so much on his phone (while driving, lunch, when I offered him a drink) that it was a bit annoying!

Really good value for money
4/5

We really enjoyed the safari and saw the big 5! It was easy to negotiate with the company and the tented lodges were amazing! We saw many animals in action and could warmly recommend.

I hoped for the guide to tell us more about the animals on his own initiative, now we mainly got answers to the questions we proposed. Always good to check the correct exchange rate by yourself.

The safari was really good value for money and the company is really trustworthy!

Patrick was a wonderful guide who made our tour very memorable
5/5

I am writing this review many months after our safari tour with Africa Marvel tours but I can still remember every thing clear as day.

I booked this tour for five people with Mercy Nthenge, our Safari Specialist from Africa Marvel Tours. I chose Africa Marvel Tours because they had the best packages online which fitted my groups needs and wants in terms of visiting Africa and its Savannah. Mercy was wonderful and actively helped us in getting the best deals, value for money, and tailoring the tour to our specific needs, always ensuring client satisfaction and comfortability. Communication through email was always reliable and the service was excellent. We were a group of five people and we did a three-day Tsavo East and Saltlick - Taita Hills Sanctuary tour.

Our guide Patrick arrived at our hotel in Nairobi bright and early to start our journey through Kenya. It was quite a long drive to Tsavo East National park allowing us to visit the country along the way. Upon arriving at our hotel, the Ashnil Aruba Lodge, the staff were very friendly and we were able to have lunch and settle in before our afternoon game drive. Tsavo East is such a special place and we got to see many zebras, elephants, giraffes, lions, many species of birds and impeccable savanah landscapes. 100% recommend this lodge for your holiday. I was very impressed with the guides professionalism in the park where there weren't many jeeps on top of each other and the guides gives the animals space to walk around and not going close enough to intimidate the animals.

The following day we made our way to Taita Hills Wildlife Sanctuary where we stayed at the Salt Lick Safari Lodge. This lodge is high on stilts which allows for the most amazing view of the Savannah landscape and allows you to experience Africa and all its wild animals just outside your window. Upon arrival at the lodge, we had lunch and the an afternoon safari. Patrick would play great music and sang beautifully for us. In the evening, we had the craziest and most upclose experience with elephants coming to drink from the waterhole just near the sitting area. This has got to be the best experience I have ever had with elephants. The following day we made our way back to Mombasa where we took the train from Voi to Mombasa which took approximately 2 hours.

We had such a wonderful time on our safari thanks to Mercy and her team for planning the best itinerary for us. Both lodges were beautifully integrated into nature where we were able to experience the animals with little to no disturbance. The food and service at both lodges were 10/10. We booked a 4X4 Land Cruiser jeep which was VERY comfortable and allowed everyone to experience the views and animals outside. Our guide Patrick and a very knowledgeable and kind man who is always full of joy. Africa Marvel Tours really took care of us on this trip and even sorted included our train fares from Voi to Mombasa into our package deal.

I would 200% recommend Africa Marvel Tours to anyone who wants the best experience of an African Safari in Kenya. Keep up the excellent work, service, professionalism Africa Marvel Tours team, you guys and amazing and thank you once again for our excellent adventure!

Perfect Safari with Africa Marvel
5/5

We had a brilliant experience as a family of five on our 3 day Safari organised by Africa Marvel.
Mercy was so helpful providing different options until we were certain of which we would go with (Tsavo East and Taita Hills). Communication was excellent from booking through to the trip itself. It was so lovely to get to chat to Mercy on the phone while we were mid trip - as she checked in to see how we were getting on.
The Safari itself was amazing - better than we could have imagined. Our Safari guide and driver Francis was the best, a consummate professional! Our lodges were beautiful and we were extremely happy with the standard included in the very reasonably priced package. I would thoroughly recommend - thank you Mercy and the team for making it so special for us.

Very trustworthy
5/5

We visited the Maasai for two nights. We stayed at the Lodge. It is a tented lodge with about 24 tents. The lodge itself and everybody that work there was great! The temp was very spacious and had everything we needed.

We went on two full day safaris and a half day safari during our time at the Maasai Mara. Our guide, Joe, was fantastic and we saw all of the big five animals. He was very willing to wait until we got our full fill of viewing of each animal. He also had a lot of information about the animals and the flora and Fana of the area. I’m a Sara was very beautiful and the safari were very relaxing. We enjoyed our time there.

Patrick was the best guide we could've asked for!
5/5

Communication was seamless, price was competitive/comparable to similar offerings from other tour operators, logistics were seamless (and when they couldn't, staff was helpful and empathetic), the tour delivered exactly what it promised (allowing also for some desired flexibility) and our guide and driver couldn't be better – Patrick is the best!

Unforgettable Masai Mara Safari with Africa Marvel Tours
5/5

We had an amazing three-day safari experience in Kenya’s Masai Mara with Africa Marvel Tours. Everything was perfectly organized, and we were absolutely satisfied. Our guide, Patrick, was outstanding—knowledgeable, friendly, and always punctual. He shared fascinating insights about the animals and drove very safely throughout the trip. The vehicle was clean and comfortable, and Patrick took us to the best spots in the reserve. We were lucky to see almost all the major wildlife (except for the leopard and rhino), which made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a professional and fantastic safari adventure!

Africa Marvel Tours. Attentive, reliable, and professional.
5/5

Massimo and I spent six days in Kenya in July. Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli.
Thanks to Zunira of Africa Marvel Tours, we created our tailor-made trip with patience: ours, but especially hers! She supported us and guided us through our choices, suggested and booked excellent lodges for us, advised on the itinerary, and answered our questions. Africa Marvel Tours was prompt in their responses and attentive to our needs. The field experience with the guides was also excellent. Philip and Francis accompanied us with professionalism and kindness during our wonderful days in Kenya. Philip was a highly skilled driver, and Francis was our Italian support, allowing us to fully appreciate the world around us.
We spent magnificent days, seeing the incredible wonders of Kenya's nature, the Big Five, and experiencing the lodges and camps. The encounter with the Maasai was special and will always be cherished, as is the beauty of the Maasai Mara (the hills, the acacia trees, the thousands of wildebeest—I could write for hours about lions, cheetahs, a shy leopard perched atop a tree, the jackal, my favorite, antelopes, gazelles, and more), Lake Nakuru with its rhinos and thousands of birds, and Amboseli National Park, with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, and its magnificent elephants and hippos.
We discovered a lush, exuberant, vibrant nature and met cheerful, professional, and capable people.
Thank you to all the staff for the wonderful experience you gave us.
