Our Premier Kenya Safari

We must record that we congratulate your company for a fantastic holiday. The organisation was smooth and faultless; the administration went without a hitch. Ben is a wonderful guide, and we cannot find the words to praise him. He maintains a high standard of professionalism yet we also felt that he was a friend at the same time. We have nothing but praise for Royal Private Safaris! -John Zammit, UK

Holiday in Kenya

20-Sep-2021

When planning our trip to Kenya, we really wanted to arrange an adventure that was something special. We spoke with Royal Private Safaris and they tailored a tour that covered everything we wanted to see and experience and included some special detours along the way. Our accommodation was typically African, the food was excellent, catering for all tastes, and our guide was very knowledgeable in all aspects of the country – flora, fauna, history and culture. We had some wonderful experiences with the wildlife which were unsurpassed by any other trip to date. We will be back and we hope that Royal Private Safaris can help us with our next adventure. -Daniel & Nicole, Australia

Royal Private Safaris provided us with extremely efficient communication and clarity in regard to planning our trip from the US. Our guide Peter was consistently caring and conscientious with our group - balancing all of our needs with professional diplomacy. His level of expertise was exceptional and provided us with information about the animals in the Masai Mara as well as historic aspects of Kenya. I would highly recommend Royal Private Safaris for either group or personalised tours, as our own experience was wonderful. Again, many thanks for a memorable visit to Kenya! -James Coursin, USA
