Family vacation of a lifetime!
My husband and our two daughters (18 & 20) visited Hell's Gate where we did a bicycle safari and we had a most extraordinary guide, Meshak, who showed us zebras, giraffes, and water buffaloes amongst other wildlife. Then we hiked in the Ol Njorowa Gorge and he showed us the breathtaking gorge, its flora and fauna and the surprising hot and cold waters. He took these beautuful photos of our girls; he is a very talented photographer and I'm sure we will use the photos for our next Christmas cards! He was extremely knowledgeable and tons of fun! At Lake Nakuru we had another fantastic guide, Timothy who had a very special gift to find all the animals in the park. We saw white and black rhinos and four lions amongst other animals! He was such a fantastic person to spend the time with; extremely knowledgeable and kind! At Maasai Maara our guide was a maasai warrior, Ben, with an extraordinary keen knack of finding wildlife. We saw the big five, the ugly five and many, many more! We saw a lioness hunting a giraffe (unsuccessfully) as the adult giraffes shielded the baby; we saw a leopard climbing a tree to its dead pray, we were in the middle of an elephant herd once who had some babies! The giraffes, lions and cheetahs were so close to us you could see their breath in the morning! I had to pinch myself every day to make sure I was really there and it was not just a dream! One of my favorite days was when we saw the full circle of life: A cheetah eating a Thompson gazelle for breakfast to a newly born Thompson gazelle in the afternoon! We were again in the midst of a herd of elephants, saw hoppos, osriches, lions and a Nile crocodile! Our Maasai warrior guide Ben was spectacular! Once we visited a maasai village and took a nature walk with a few maasai warriors who were so knowledgeable and eager to share their culture with us! We danced with them too and bought their beautiful bead jewelry from the women at the market. We had the trip of a lifetime! I cried all the way back on the plane to Nairibi. I did not want to leave this magical place. I could not believe I had the good fortune to get to share this experience with my husband and my girls.

Friendly, reliable and tailor-made solutions provider
Outstanding experience. David was fantastic right from the outset. He was responsive, trustworthy and reassuring. Given that I am based in the UK and was liaising with someone in Nairobi, I wanted to be sure I was getting the best deal and value for money. And David and Trav Interactive certainly delivered. He booked us a fabulous property, flights to and from Mara and the game drives. He also came and met us at Nairobi airport before we left for Mara which was a lovely gesture. We booked a private safari and had the jeep all to ourselves. The guides were knowledgeable and so accommodating. We had a great all-round experience Thanks David for making our first safari experience so memorable.

Perfectly organized - lifetime experience
My safari experience booked by Trav-Interactive was a smooth and very well organized trip. From the first reach out to the moment I took my flight back Trav-Interactive stayed connected, checked in on me and ensured regular communication.
The trip was planned in detail including pick ups, accommodation, and domestic flights.
At any point, I felt I was kept in the loop and different communication channels (ie email, WhatsApp etc) were provided from the start.
The accommodation Tipilikwani was great, spacious room, good food and great service.
I’d recommend Trav-Interactive based on my recent trip. Thank you for everything!
Professionalism and helpfulness, that’s Trav-Interactive!
We set off on our safari as a group of ten and spent five days and four nights exploring Tsavo West, Amboseli, Taita Hills, and Tsavo East.
The itinerary was organized by John before our departure. He listened to and accommodated all our requests, offering us not only the chance to go on numerous game drives (9 in five days), but also several extra experiences that made our trip truly unique. The nature walk in the savannah of Taita Hills, the panoramic viewpoint at Mudanda Rock, and the Lugard Falls in Tsavo East, as well as spotting hippos at Mzima Springs in Tsavo West, were all unforgettable experiences.
What truly made the difference in our safari, however, were the guides/drivers: Randu and Righan were the real added value. With their professionalism and experience, they led us to the most beautiful and hidden corners of the parks: herds of elephants just meters away, lionesses hunting warthogs and buffalo, hundreds of zebras and wildebeest, a cheetah hidden in the brush, hippos both in and out of the water. And then giraffes, buffalo, gazelles, antelopes, crocodiles, a lion atop a Lions Rock, countless bird species, and many other animals...
Our jeeps were comfortable, practical, and always clean despite the red Tsavo dust. Randu speaks excellent and fluent Italian.
At every accommodation—whether lodge or tented camp—we felt truly welcomed, and the hospitality of the Kenyan people will stay in our hearts. We especially recommend the Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge in Tsavo West.
Trav-interactive gets full marks... we’ll be back for the Masai Mara!

Breathtaking
I hope people have the energy to read my review until the end! 😂
I highly recommend this travel agency for safaris in Kenya!
We were a group of 10 Italians (4 parents and 6 young adults). It was our first time in an African country — and therefore, our first safari.
While we had some amazing organizers within our group, John’s dedication and willingness to ensure we had an unforgettable experience made all the difference. He helped us personalise and plan everything perfectly: choosing the right national parks to visit — and in the best order (1. Tsavo West, 2. Amboseli, 3. Taita Hills, 4. Tsavo East) — based on our arrival in Mombasa. He selected the ideal hotels, must-do experiences, and activities for us.
And last but not least, he found us the best drivers: Randu and Righan. Both spoke excellent English (like John), and one of them even spoke fluent Italian — a big plus, since not everyone we met in Kenya spoke English clearly, which sometimes made communication tricky.
The drivers were joyful, professional, and fully committed to making our safari incredible. They went above and beyond to help us spot as many animals as possible — almost at any cost! 😂 We did 8 game drives of 2–3 hours each over 5 d. It was intense — we were ready by 6 am and out spotting animals until nearly 7 pm — long days!
Not once did we feel unsafe in their care. They were well-trained and respectful of safari rules and wildlife. We had the chance to see so many animals up close: elephants, zebras, giraffes, buffalos, various gazelles, lionesses (multiple times), young lions, hyenas, cheetah, many birds, warthogs, hippos, and crocodiles.
Honestly, there wasn’t a single moment I didn’t enjoy or feel truly happy.
I completely fell in love with Kenyan culture and its people. ❤️

Our tour operator was thorough, informative, and efficient
John was very good at communicating via email of any questions with regards to details with the safari.
He was also very helpful when our luggage was lost at airport to find a way to still do the safari and not miss out on anything and yet come back to the airport to get our luggage.
Our driver and tour guide Dan was efficient, informative, passionate about his job, went above and beyond to make sure we got to see as much of the animals as we possibly could.
He also made the safari itself smooth and relaxing. He bought complimentary water bottles for us and when we ran out of shillings, he helped pay for the tips until we got to an ATM to pay back. He was very kind and his English was overall easy to understand.
I would definitely recommend Dan as your tour guide and driver for there is nothing on this trip I feel like we missed out on because of his knowledge, efficiency, hospitality, and excellent communication.
