Posted on Holli5 January 2026Verified 5 days private safari: Clear recommendation! We can fully recommend Annest Kenya Safaris! Even before the trip we were superbly looked after by Ezra via email and WhatsApp and had a contact person at all times. The 5-day safari was perfectly organized.Our driver & guide Humphrey and Joseph (photographer) picked us up very punctually and accompanied us through the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha & Amboseli National Park back to Nairobi for the connecting train. Thanks to Humphrey’s great animal and local knowledge, we were often one of the first vehicles on the scene and had the best sightings: except for the rhino, all the Big Five, many baby animals, feeding leopards and feeding lioness, as well as large herds of elephants overlooking Kilimanjaro and a cheetah. Even in challenging traffic or critical situations on site, we felt safe at all times.The lodges were well selected: Masai Mara almost private with great service, Naivasha very nice, Amboseli okay with small cuts in food and tent. Transfers & train connection went smoothly. After the safari, feedback was actively sought and we received many great photos of Joseph.Clear recommendation!Posted on Matthew H3 January 2026Verified Afternoon NBO city safari It was great! Our friend from the UK loved it, and even though my wife and I are residents, we still saw lots of new stuff, including a carcacel, male giraffes battling, an unprecedented number of rhinos... and a turtle! We arrived about 2pm but there were still loads of animals around (usually it's recommended to arrive at 6am!)Thanks to James for being a great guide and driver!Posted on marilena p3 January 2026Verified Safari near the city not to be missed! Safari near the city not to be missedExcellent organization, fast communication!I highly recommend this tour if you pass by Nairobi with “Annest Kenya Safari”Professional and helpful guide and driver!Beautiful morning!Posted on consolata w16 December 2025Verified SIX DAYS FAMILY SAFARI Traveling as a family with adult children, we experienced what can only be described as the trip of a lifetime! Before the safari, we spent a few days in and around Nairobi with friends, enjoying the rich cultural tapestry and getting a true feel for the country.Our safari began on October 13, when George, our driver-guide, picked us up right on time. Over the next six days, he led us through some of the most breathtaking landscapes and wildlife encounters imaginable. His expertise, intuition, and deep knowledge of the parks ensured we were always in the right place at the perfect time.George was incredibly attentive to our interests and passionate about making every moment count. We were up early for morning drives and returned late from evening drives, yet he was always patient, informative, and full of fascinating stories about the wildlife and local culture.The wildlife experiences were extraordinary. Elephants casually crossed the road near our vehicle. We encountered a full lion pride – two males, three females, and two cubs – and thanks to George’s advice for an early start, we saw them again the following morning almost entirely to ourselves. We also witnessed a cheetah with a freshly caught impala, just meters from the road! It was wildlife up close and personal in a way we’ll never forget.Accommodations and meals were excellent at every lodge, and the staff went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and well cared for.A heartfelt thank you to Annest Kenya Safaris for organizing this remarkable journey, and especially to George, who made every moment unforgettable. His warmth, knowledge, and personality turned the safari into an experience we’ll cherish forever. We left Kenya already dreaming of our return!Posted on Chay13 December 2025Verified It was a very nice experience! Two-day safari to Tsavo east is beautiful. We spotted a lot of animals. Nature is also very beautiful. Private jeep is recommended, slightly more expensive, but definitely worth it.Posted on Azary11 December 2025Verified 3 days Amboseli and Tsavo Our 3-day safari to Tsavo East and Amboseli National Parks was truly unforgettable! From the very start, Peter, our driver and guide, made us feel comfortable and excited about the adventure ahead. His knowledge, patience, and genuine passion for wildlife made the experience extra special.In Tsavo East, we were amazed by the vast, rugged landscapes and incredible wildlife – from playful elephants to graceful giraffes and even lions lounging in the sun. But Amboseli was simply magical, with the majestic Mount Kilimanjaro as the perfect backdrop. Seeing elephants roam so freely at close range left us in awe.Every moment felt personal and cared for – from the game drives to the cozy accommodations and delicious meals at Kibo and Ashnil. We could truly relax and enjoy the beauty of Kenya, knowing Peter had everything covered.A big thank you to Annest Kenya Safaris for organizing such a flawless and memorable experience. This safari isn’t just about seeing animals; it’s about experiencing Kenya’s nature with someone who makes it come alive.Posted on Tasha M10 December 2025Verified Excellent and top notch service For my birthday I wanted something memorable..n wooow, what a blast💯..I Celebrated my birthday at the Maasai Mara courtesy of Annest safari Kenya and it was straight‑up amazing.

All was well organized from start to finish. Our guide James was a really great man, very experienced and always smiling. Trip planner Ezra arranged everything in such a way that there were no problems.We visited Tsavo West, Amboseli, Lake Naivasha, and finally Maasai Mara. Every place is a different experience. The view of Mount Kilimanjaro from Amboseli was truly unforgettable. In Maasai Mara I got the opportunity to see many lions and elephants from close. Spending the night in the safari lodges and tents was also a special experience.We later head to Diani for cooling off All in all, it was a very comfortable, safe, and enjoyable trip.Posted on diana g9 December 2025Verified Amazing 5 day safari with Annest Kenya safaris My 5-day safari with Annest Kenya Safaris was unforgettable. We started at Ol Pejeta, where seeing chimpanzees up close was incredible. The boat ride on Lake Naivasha was peaceful and beautiful, with birds, hippos, and stunning scenery.Masai Mara was the highlight—we saw all the Big Five in just two days! Our guide Humphrey was knowledgeable and made sure we didn’t miss anything. Accommodation and food were great throughout the trip.Everything was perfectly organized, from pick-up in Nairobi to the final drop-off. I highly recommend Annest Kenya Safaris for a smooth and amazing safari experience!Posted on Sarah3 November 2025Verified A DREAM Layover! Wow. What a fantastic day start to finish! My boyfriend and I had a 14 hour layover in Nairobi today and decided to leave the airport to explore. I contacted a few travel agencies and drivers with fairly short notice and Ezra at Annest Kenya Safaris had the quickest and most detailed responses, she is very helpful and organized. Our driver was Nicholas, he is very friendly and knowledgeable! We got to see the Giraffe Centre, National Park (AMAZING), and Mamba Village Crocodile Park. We also stopped at a local place for lunch and the all-you-can-eat Carnivore Restaurant for dinner. Everything went smoothly. We felt safe the entire time, our bags were fine in the car while we did activities, and the locals were incredibly friendly. Nairobi felt safe and there was plenty to look at along the sides of the road. There can’t possibly be a better layover day than that, we are so happy.
