Jambo!
I found that Tanius tours and safaris, are efficient and well organised in their booking procedures, but more importantly than that our tour guide Moses managed to create a feeling that our tour was personally created for us. He was able to provide us with interesting facts about every animal that we saw, and went to extra lengths to ensure that we had the opportunity to see every animal we wanted to witness, and we were lucky enough to see all the of the Big 5!!

In the evening Moses entertained us with fascinating stories about the Maasai tribe, something that was obviously beyond his job description, and was utterly priceless, and again demonstrated how the Tanius tours safari experience was about ensuring the guests had the best 4 days possible, and it was not simply about driving around in a jeep.

I would just like to say a thank you to you, and more specifically to Moses, for ensuring that Clara, phoebe and I had a truly amazing safari, and we look forward to revisiting Kenya soon.

In the meantime my sister will be meeting you in December - I have already advised her to change her bus tour to a Jeep tour - if only for the roads to Maasai mara! I have every confidence that you will make her tour as enjoyable as ours was.

Found it a truly amazing experience, and would happily recommend Tanius tours to anybody.

Kind regards
Briony

"Excellent Amboseli and Tsavo safari"

We were on safari at the mid of February and we chose the four days Amboseli, Tsavo West and East tour starting from Nairobi and finishing in Mombasa.

Everything about it was fantastic, Peter was our driver and he knew loads about the animals and the nature and was really friendly and fun to be with. He was accompanied by George who was also really nice & informative.

We saw loads of animals and they were both really keen to make the most of our time out and about and were happy to stop and wait etc while we took in the scenery and wildlife.

The three lodges we stayed at (Amboseli Serena, Kilaguni Serena and Ashnil Aruba Lodge) were amazing with great views, service and food.

We spent two weeks in Kenya and the safari has to be the highlight. We would recommend using TANIUS Tours to anyone and will be coming back to do another one!

We also did the one day crocodile safari to Funzi which was a great day out!

Thanks TANIUS

Couple of tips – try and take small denomination notes for tips and make sure you have binoculars.

We, a family of five, spent two weeks in Kenya mid August. To say we had an incredible experience on our trip to East Africa would be an extreme understatement. It was truly a trip of a lifetime for us!

We decided last minute to safari in Kenya and had absolute no clue where to even start. Luckily, as we were talking to a friend about wanting to go, we were referred to Tanius Tours and Safaris. I don’t know how Joseph and his team did it, but he was was able to pull together the most fabulous itinerary in such a short amount of time. His knowledge and experience, sprinkled with a little bit of luck availability-wise, left us with the best itinerary we could have asked for. We chose flying in between the locations over driving. We spent a few days in Meru National Park, then made our way into Samburu and finally Maasai Mara for a great safari experience.

We went to 3 camps and spent 3 nights at each: Elsa's Kopje Camp, Elephant Bedroom camp and Kichwa Tembo Camp. Each was a completely different and yet amazing experience. Joseph planned our trip in such a way that each day exceeded the expectations of the previous day. I kept thinking that there was no way tomorrow could be better than today was, but yet each day just got better and better. We spent the last few days of our trip at Hotel Sonrisa, Diani Beach, we had made direct arrangements with the hotel with Joseph's recommendation.

We saw all the animals we wished for including the Big five. We saw plenty of rhinos at Meru, lions, elephants and buffaloes, in Samburu things were no different with plenty of Oryxes, giraffes, both the reticulated and common, Grevy's zebras and elephants in their hundreds. We were very lucky to witness the great wildebeest migration at the Maasai Mara and saw dozens of lions, cheetah families and a leopard.
So, if you are wanting to plan a trip to East Africa and have no idea what you are doing (or even if you do), I highly recommend Joseph/ Peter/ Catherine and Tanius tours. They take care of EVERYTHING, so you literally just show up and the rest is all done for you.

Thank you, Tanius tours team! This was a trip we will never forget. Your help, expertise and guidance made this an experience of a lifetime for us!

My husband and I have spend 4 amaizing days in Amboseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West at the start of January.

After talking and getting more than 10 offers, I've decided to go with Tanius. Something in the way Peter talked to me, explained everything and most importantly had taken account of my budget, made me do the deal with him. The price he offered was more than fine. And I'm than grateful for choosing to do the safari with them.

The accommodation Peter suggested were more than ok also. Our 4 days driver and best guide ever, Bedan made our trip to fell like we were looking in Animal planet live all the time. Bedan is very passionate about his job (he is a guide for 12 years). He is so passionate about wild life, he explained us a lot about animals behaviour.

We can say thank you very much for the attentiveness and the attention to every detail from planning stay to the actual safari.

The tour guide, John, was superb – very knowledgeable and ready to help us wholeheartedly with any issue.

It was important to us to experience and feel life in each of the park and stops we toured, seeing so much wildlife, landscapes and to come in contact with very new people was absolutely an amazing experience.

We thank the guide for sharing his knowledge and for the excellent guiding skills and Tanius tours for putting our 7 day trip together.

I certainly hope we’ll plan additional trips in the future.

Thanks again for everything

My family of 5 took a private tour to Tsavo East National park with Tanius tours from 27-29 September. We stayed for two nights at the Satao Camp and loved it there. It is such a beautiful camp with wildlife roaming around the camp and the nearby water hole.

Every aspect of the trip was perfect from start to finish, we had an opportunity to see quite a number of wildlife in good numbers. Our guide Bedan was very informative and his knowledge was outstanding- thorough in his work.

Thank you Tanius for arranging for us such a wonderful trip. Well recommended.
