Just had a wonderful 9 day safari + beach trip. I worked with Janet from Apodiformes for about 9 months from when we booked our trip to when we traveled. She was communicative and helpful at every step of the way. We had issues with two lodges on our itinerary that were unable to honor our original reservations and she worked with us and the lodges on other equivalent options very quickly.
Our guide Isaiah was then the star of the show during the safari. He was both knowledgeable and kind, getting us great views of the Big 5 and sharing good info on the animals. Whenever we wanted to linger a bit longer or stop to get pictures he was happy to oblige. We spent lots of time in the car over the 6 days we were on safari and traveling to different parks and enjoyed it all - even the "African massages" from the bumpy roads. Would recommend the company and Isaiah to those interested in safari.
Will leave each of the lodges separate reviews on their pages but would say be sure to get Ol Tukai in Amboseli on your itinerary if you can!

Our safari with Apodiformes Adventures and our guide Sebastian was absolutely amazing and exceeded all our expectations
Our safari with Apodiformes Adventures was absolutely amazing and exceeded all our expectations. Syprose was incredibly helpful before the trip and did a wonderful job organizing everything for our honeymoon. She made sure the safari matched what we were looking for, which made the whole experience feel very personal.
Sebastian was an outstanding guide and was one of the highlights of the trip. His knowledge of the animals was impressive, but what really stood out was his ability to find them! He somehow spotted animals we would never have noticed ourselves and made sure we got to see everything we had hoped for. His explanations were detailed, interesting, and made every sighting even more special.
We came away with so many amazing memories from this trip. Thank you to Syprose, Sebastian, and the Apodiformes Adventures team for making our honeymoon safari such a wonderful experience!

An Unforgettable Honeymoon Safari with Apodiformes Adventures
Our safari with Apodiformes Adventures was truly an unforgettable experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better way to celebrate our honeymoon. From the very beginning, Syprose from the office was incredibly helpful and attentive, taking the time to understand what we wanted and tailoring the entire experience perfectly to us.
Our guide, Sebastian, was absolutely outstanding. His knowledge, patience, and incredible ability to spot wildlife made every day special. He somehow managed to find all the animals we were hoping to see, and his detailed explanations gave us a much deeper appreciation for the wildlife and the environment around us.
Everything was beautifully organised, personal, and stress-free. We felt incredibly well looked after from start to finish. We highly recommend Apodiformes Adventures to anyone looking for a truly special safari experience — especially for such an important occasion as a honeymoon!

Amazing encounter with Nature
Our recent safari in Kenya was absolutely unforgettable, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish.
A huge shoutout to our guide, Sebastian, who was the absolute star of the trip. He is incredibly experienced and has an almost supernatural ability to spot wildlife. Beyond his knowledge, he was incredibly accommodating, making sure we were comfortable and getting the best views at every stop.
The accommodation exceeded our expectations—clean, comfortable, and perfectly located to make the most of the wilderness. I also want to mention the Silas, the organiser, who replied to every message with impressive speed and made the booking process stress-free.
We had a wonderful time and have come home with memories that will last a lifetime. Thank you!

Great Safari experience
We enjoyed working with Apodiformes Adventures from day 1. Janet helped us with all bookings, making arrangements for any custom requests and making recommendations. Our guide and Driver Songe was very accomodating of any last minute requests and was always present few minutes ahead of planned departure time. He is resourceful and knowledgeble of all the National parks that we visited. I will give him full credit for locating different animals. Overall we are very satisfied with the whole experience.

African Safari
We had an incredible trip to Kenya, and we can't thank APODIFORMES ADVENTURES enough for organizing such a memorable experience. Every detail was thoughtfully planned, and the hotels they selected were outstanding. Each one was comfortable, well-located, and offered excellent service, making our stay relaxing and enjoyable throughout the trip.
A special thank you goes to our driver and guide, Isaiah, who truly made our safari unforgettable. He was always polite, friendly, and genuinely caring, making sure all of our needs were met every step of the way. His knowledge, patience, and dedication ensured we had the best possible wildlife sightings, and he always went the extra mile to position us for amazing views of the animals. His passion for what he does really made the experience even more special.
We would highly recommend this travel agency to anyone planning a trip to Kenya. From the excellent accommodation to the exceptional guiding, everything exceeded our expectations. Thank you for giving us memories that will last a lifetime!

Beautiful journey in the Kenyan wild nature.
Very beautiful and unforgettable experience. Easy, fluent and quick communication with the kind staff during booking and planning. Flexibility to adjust the planning from the initial proposals based on personal needs, desires and attitudes (eg. itinerary, days). Very comfortable accomodations (eg. location, food, staff) as well as clean and spacious vehicle. Very strong guide during the trip, punctual, respectful of environment and animals, competent and passionate.

Mixed Experience on a 9-Day Safari – Beautiful Destinations, But Communication Needs Work
We traveled with Apodiformes Adventures for a 9-day safari from September 15–23, covering Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli, and Diani Beach. While the landscapes and wildlife were breathtaking, and our driver Sebastian was outstanding, the overall experience was marred by poor communication and unexpected challenges.
Pros:
Sebastian, our driver, was the highlight of the trip—professional, kind, and incredibly knowledgeable.
Masai Mara and Amboseli offered unforgettable safari experiences.
Ol Tukai Lodge and Diani Sea Resort were excellent accommodations, providing comfort and a much-needed sense of relaxation.
Cons:
Communication was inconsistent and often unclear. From visa guidance to tipping expectations and baggage policies, we were left to figure out many things on our own.
Health accommodations were lacking. One of our guests, undergoing cancer treatment, did not receive the support we expected despite notifying the agency in advance.
Unexpected costs added significant financial strain. While some reimbursements were made, they were partial and required persistent follow-up.
Arrival and transfer logistics were confusing, especially at train stations and airports, which added stress to the journey.
When we raised concerns, the agency responded but often defensively. While they acknowledged some issues and promised improvements, the tone of the replies made us feel unheard and unsupported.
Final Thoughts:
Apodiformes Adventures has potential, and parts of the trip were truly special. However, for future travelers, especially those with health needs or tight budgets, clearer communication and better planning are essential. We hope our feedback helps improve the experience for others.

Over promise under deliver. Guide doesn’t communicate and very rude.
Avoid.
The sales person planned more activities than the guide was willing to deliver. Guide skipped first day’s safari without any communication. Despite this, we gave generous tips for the first 4 days.
To avoid the same issue on day 5, we asked explicitly to fulfill the itinerary. The guide decided to respond with passive aggressiveness and didn’t speak at all for the rest of the journey - extremely unprofessional and rude.
Last 3 days effectively ruined, half of the group not willing to participate the safari any more and preferred to stay at the hotel.
Avoid unless if you want office politics during your holiday…
