Overall a nice experience, but some questionable aspects.
Overall it was a nice experience, of the big five we only saw 3 (in part it also comes down to luck): the guide explained that the rhinoceros is not present in Kenya, because the climate is too hot and the leopard is very difficult to spot, because it moves mainly at night (a night drive session should be included, as a suggestion).
The tour actually lasted less than 36 hours, of which almost 8 were travel to/from Diani Beach, with 2 mandatory stops of more than 30 minutes at a rest stop and shops, to "entice" you to purchase expensive souvenirs. 3 drive sessions, total duration less than 7 hours in the park, certainly more would be desirable. The total cost of the tour is objectively disproportionate: excluding €150 per person for the hotel, where drinks must be paid for separately (that is the cost on booking), €80 per person for park entry, the remaining €250 per person is difficult to justify; gasoline costs €1.50 per liter, there is the guide to pay (including their accommodation), but there still remains a very, very wide profit margin (being tourists does not necessarily mean having to be treated like ATMs). A positive aspect was the luck of having taken a private safari, because for those days only we had booked.

Dear Samantha
Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the private safari.
Regarding wildlife, Kenya is home to rhinos, while leopards are naturally elusive. Sightings can never be guaranteed, even with experienced guides.
Regarding the price, we respectfully believe it was fair considering the costs involved in providing a private safari, including park fees, accommodation, fuel, vehicle maintenance, and professional guiding services. Your booking through Tripadvisor also incurred a commission of approximately 31%, significantly reducing the amount received by our company.
We appreciate your feedback and will continue striving to improve our guests’ experiences.
Kind regards,
Kipawa

Amazing experience, amazing guide. Loved every moment
We loved every moment and aspect of our trip: the personnel, the views, the food, the accommodation and of course…”the beasts”.
As our guide, Benjamin, said, we were lucky people to see almost all of the legendary animals like we were part of a Nat Geo Wild documentary, but our luck actually consisted in getting assigned to Benjamin. He is really knowledgeable, very friendly, funny and willing to make sure you get the best experience possible. I don’t think there was anything about the park that he wouldn’t know including the places where you can find what you want to see.
I highly recommend to everyone who wants an amazing experience in the company of great people.
Hakuna Matata!

SAFARI: BEST EXPERIENCE OF MY LIFE
This experience was the best of my life.
It costs a lot of money but I assure you it is worth it all.
I did the activity in July and I recommend this month because there is no scorching heat and you can fully enjoy the adventure.
We have seen many animals except the Cheetah and Leopard.
A detail thanks to our guide Sketty Abdullah who was a fantastic person.

Overnight Tsavo East Safari from Mombasa
Sooo many animals! Patrick was very nice and had good eye, knew animals at a glance, even seeing little dik-diks in bushes. Be aware that there is no air conditioning in hotel or vehicle. Would absolutely do this again!

Overnight East Tsavo from Mombasa
What can I say? Incredible experience. From the start it was outstanding and easy, communication and quick response time to all information provided and all questions answered by Shadrack. I did a lot of research on companies prior and the price matched with the reputation attracted me and I didn’t regret any of it. Our driver and guide was Shaban and he was exceptional. He’s been leading Safaris for 15 years and is extremely knowledgeable and was a pleasure to be with. Our group had 8 people and all of us were blown away by the experience. Asante Sana!

Nice park, nice experience
We had a nice experience. The travel was comfortable, guide Freddy was very friendly and competent. The grass and bush was still quite green and tall after the rainy season, so it was easy for the animals to hide, but we still saw quite a lot of them.
