Thrilling
They had a fantastic way of communicating. Silas assisted with confirming my booking when I had difficulty making payments. He was exceptional. Even when my flight delayed, he waited patiently.

Amazing
The organization was top from beginning to end! Pick up in Naivasha and bring back to Nairobi no problem. our driver was really great and made a real effort. We had one of those little busses where you can stand and look out of the open roof. Room and board were convenient ... you may not ask for too much for a price of $ 300 ... had to send $ 100 via PayPal and then pay the rest locally. Currency is not a problem. have seen everything except rhinos. We recommend.

It was experience of life and unforgettable adventure i had in this tour
I was promised from apodiformes adventures that this will be my life time unforgettable adventure and experience of life and literally it was as they said. Everything was prepared well from transportations, camp, safari, food and balloon. Everything was professionally prepared and when they give me a time they are sharp with the timing and the driver was professional as well.
I had fun and enjoyed my trip and mr silas arranged for me literally everything from A to Z

A pleasant adventure in the wild with balloon flight
The communications, services were on the top. The safari tour was something unforgettable. Very many emotions and very nice experience.
The organizer Stephen of the tour is a very kindly person and very helpful. He also helped us to get the tickets for the train (not included in safari).
The drivers are professional, they know all about their job, the cars were always clean.

Dickson is an excellent guide
Overall the experience of the safari was great . your guide will be the make or break of your trip and Dickson made sure that he covers all the big 5s and other interesting aspects of the Masai Mara .
After the safari of 3-4 days , we as a group ended up gaining so much information about the wild life at Masai Mara

Once (or perhaps more?) in a lifetime experience!
Let me begin by telling you the importance of choosing a good local tour for a trip to Safari. Continuous communications before and during the trip, tailor-made route, a helpful guide, one of a kind accommodation..you name it. Much appreciation goes to our contact Peter for curating the route to our preferences and answering my enquiries, after all it's my family's very first trip to the Safari! We are thankful for our guide Dickson who is open to our suggestions and is a very reliable driver. Not to mention being attentive in spotting lions from hundreds of yards away! All in all we recommend travelling with Apodiformes Adventures for this once in a lifetime experience!

Memorable Safari Adventure, but With Room for Improvement
We booked our safari easily, with quick responses via WhatsApp and smooth payment through Wise. The overall trip was memorable, but there are areas that could be improved.
The tour operator could have provided more details beforehand, such as weather and distances between parks. The jeep had no air-conditioning, so windows stayed open — which meant lots of dust and fumes. The rides were understandably bumpy (“African massage”), but our driver Tom spent more time on the phone than sharing insights about wildlife. Most animals were spotted by following other jeeps, and we often relied on ChatGPT for information instead of the guide.
Accommodation varied:
Amboseli (Sentrim Lodge): Rooms okay, food good, but water issues (no hot water/low pressure).
Lake Naivasha (Sawela Lodge): Excellent stay with spacious rooms and great food.
Lake Nakuru (Ziwa Bush Lodge): Comfortable enough, though water problems again and rain made access tricky.
Masai Mara (Zebra Plains Camp): Scenic, but one room had no hot water for two nights despite repair attempts.
Highlights included the Hell’s Gate bike ride with a fantastic guide and the hot air balloon ride with champagne bush breakfast — although the balloon safari didn’t offer many animal sightings. Unfortunately, the itinerary shifted and we missed one promised game drive in Masai Mara without explanation. We also had to ask about the migration, which was disappointing as the driver gave very little information.
Overall, the safari gave us beautiful memories, but better guiding, clearer communication, and more consistent lodge facilities would have made the experience much stronger.

Good with communication and managing needs.
The trip was well organised and we were looked after well. No issues with any financial transactions.
Hotels were clean and provided good buffet meals.
Our safari guide in Kenya,Jackson was very attentive and went out of his way to show us as much as possible. We had a good Toyota cruiser, 6 seater for 4 travellers
Issue we had were with vehicle breakdown on 2 of out 8 days safari. We lost 2 half days. However given the terrain it is no wonder vehicles breakdown. However I feel there could have been some small compensation given our loss of day and unlikely we will return to Kenya, Tanzania.
On the whole, I would recommend the agent.

Syprose was amazing—always quick to respond to emails and made everything smooth and stress-free!
We had the pleasure of going on a safari with Dickson as our guide, and it was truly a memorable experience. Dickson is not only passionate about his work but also incredibly kind and attentive. He made every effort to show us as many animals as possible — even going so far as to reverse the vehicle carefully just so we wouldn’t miss a great sighting. His driving was always safe and smooth, and he made us feel comfortable throughout the journey.
There was a brief moment during the tour when another guide, Michael, stepped in due to a small hiccup. Although he was professional, he ignored our request to make sure lunch was arranged, which made the experience feel a bit cold and impersonal. This contrast really highlighted how warm-hearted and thoughtful Dickson is. He genuinely cared about both our comfort and our experience.
Dickson is a guide who goes above and beyond. If you’re lucky enough to have him on your safari, you’re in excellent hands.

super helpful consultant Stephen and experienced guide Peter
We contact with Stephen and he always responds us promptly, even in the very early morning. He provides us with many useful information and be good with offering different options, which we value much. Guide Peter is Masai which makes him allowed to drive off the main way in Masai Mara national reserve, which is super super important to get close to the wild cats. He is knowledgeable with animals and masai culture. Really appreciate their supportive and warm guide for the whole trip!
