Did not go on this tour Reviewed: Nov. 24, 2020

We spent 10 days on safari in Kenya and Zanzibar- Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Zanzibar. We were very pleased with direct kenya safari ltd. Our trip organizer Nduso suggested accommodations and we were very happy with the places we stayed during the safari. Our guide was Albert, a really good guide at the same time he was good at tracking and finding animals. Thank you again, Nduso and Albert! We suggest Direct Kenya Safaris to everyone.

This was our third safari to kenya organised by Keneth and his team at direct kenya safaris. Previously i travelled with my husband but our third time we had a whole family of 7 , did a 13 days customised safari of Kenya and Tanzania and nothing goes wrong with this team.
Our guide David has been phenomenal and incredibly professional, hardworking and caring, we cannot recommend him more.
Collectively, they are fairly priced and flexible than most of operators there.
Highly recommended.

Our family (three adults) went on a 12 day safari with this operator in Kenya and Tanzania. We spent seven days in Kenya and five days in Tanzania. Working with direct kenya safaris person, Keneth Nduso, we researched parks and reserves to visit and came up with that met our needs and budget. Keneth provided excellent guidance over the months we worked on our itinerary.
Paul, our guide in Kenya was experienced, knowledgeable, and personable. At each park, and reserve we visited, he knew where to find animals and birds we hoped to see and observe. We photographed elephants, lions, rhinos, zebras, various types of gazelle, giraffes, buffalo, wildebeests, jackals, and tons of birds , many other species of animals and birds. Micheal, our guide in Tanzania, did equally fantastic and really took good care of us.

Generally, this is your go to whenever you want to visit Africa for your safari.

We cannot recommend Direct Kenya safaris enough. My wife and I booked a private 12 days safari ( lake nakuru, masai mara, serengeti, ngorongoro, amboseli) in may. The booking was really easy and Nduso was very responsive and supportive.
Our driver/guides both in Kenya and Tanzania showed up always in time, we felt safely during the drives. They knew nearly every animal we saw (and we saw a lot). The lodges were booked correctly, at the end we were dropped off at the airport as planned.

Our friends who had a safari with this operator referred us to them and they didn't disappoint. After so many emails and WhatsApp conversations we finally had our 9 day customised private safari (Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara.)

Our Guide David was the best guide we could ask for. He was always on time, experienced, professional and had a great vison for wildlife. Their prices are fair compared to many operators out there.

This was our first fantastic safari ever and certainly not the last.

Our trip was very well planned and organized by Nduso. We were picked us up at the airport on arrival and headed straight to Amboseli for our 3 day safari there. Our guide, Paul, explained the nature well and answered all our questions. He was always on time and put us in the right positions to observe the animals. We saw a lot of animals especially the big cats like lions cheetahs and a leopard. We also saw the beautiful snow caped Mt Kilimanjaro
The safari car was perfect and offered enough space for both of us.
Enough drinking water was also provided every day.

My husband and I booked this 8-Day Safari of Amboseli, Ol-Pejeta, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha with Direct Kenya Safaris and they didn't disappoint. Our contact person, Nduso, is a good tour planner, quick to reply and helpful. We saw very many animals including the big five and thousands of wildebeest and many more. Our accommodations were clean and we had nice food all the time. Generally their prices are relatively cheap and they are reliable.
Highly Recommended!

Our 8 day safari of amboseli, nakuru, masai mara and green crater lake walk was the best holiday so far. This tour operator did an amazing job from organisation to the actual safari. They have a great desire to serve and make their clients happy.

Our guide alex was always on time, knowledgeable and informative. We cannot imagine going to Africa and not booking with them in the future.

Thank you Nduso and the entire team at DKS for making our holiday memorable.

My daughter and I took 5 days midrange package of Nakuru, Masai Mara and naivasha with amazing and professional driver Marcus. He went beyond any expectation to get us to spots where we can observe animals. He knows so much about animals and parks. We felt safe with him and took amazing photos of all animals.
The agency was very responsive and helped us to arrange the trip with a very short notice with the help of Nduso. Overall, the trip was amazing, went expectedly well and as planned.
