Everything about this trip was wonderful, from the wildlife, to the culture, to the pure tranquility. - We just came back from a 3-day safari in Masai Mara, and honestly, it’s hard to even put the experience into words.
It was our first time visiting Kenya.... read more Me and my friend very curious for our 3 days Masai Mara Safari. Our pre trip communication with Clevers at Namnyak Tours and Safaris was well. Everything perfectly explained Cleaves. Our guide was Kasaine just amazing & super patient, funny, and very knowledgeable. Every game drive was fantastic. We were lucky to see the Big Five, and so many other animals, lions lounging in the grass, elephants with their babies, zebras crossing the plains, and cheetahs. Last and best highlights this trip meet the Masai people, The people were so welcoming, and we learned a lot about their culture and way of life. Really it was a beautiful and peaceful experience.

6 days ( Masai Mara+ Ambeseli+ Tsavo East ) Best Safari Experience With Namnyak. - Our guides ( Kasaine + Richard ) were amazing, super chill, funny, and knew everything about the animals. They made the whole safari enjoyable.
Our journey starts in Masai Mara.... read more The place is massive, and the wildlife, Lions just chilling in the grass, elephants walking past like they own the place, giraffes nibbling on trees Then came Amboseli. I think I’ll remember that view forever, elephants roaming with Kilimanjaro in the background. Finally, Tsavo East. Honestly, it felt raw and untamed. The red soil, wide plains, the occasional roar in the distance, it’s humbling. We saw lions, elephants, and even some elusive antelopes. It really gives you perspective about life in the wild.
