    Amazing Safari of a Lifetime

    Our family of six adults had an unforgettable safari in Kenya with Apodiformes Adventures. From the very beginning, Frederick was professional, prompt, and incredibly helpful in answering all of my questions while planning the trip. Everything was organized beautifully. Our guide, Dixon, was wonderful—knowledgeable, patient, and always ready to explain anything we were curious about. Thanks to him, we were able to see the Big Five, and we even had the rare chance to watch a leopard walking in broad daylight in the Maasai Mara. It truly felt like the adventure of a lifetime, with an unbelievable number of animals everywhere we went. We stayed at the Sopa Lodges, which were beautiful, comfortable, and served excellent food. We ended our journey with three relaxing days at Diani Beach, which was absolutely gorgeous. I highly recommend Apodiformes Adventures. Thank you to Frederick for organizing such an amazing safari, and to Dixon for spending seven long days guiding us through Kenya’s incredible wildlife.

    Amazing safaris in Kenya

    Was a pleasure to have Dixon as our guide and driver. As a driver, he drove long hours and avoided holes or bad routes for our comfort, and always accomodated our needs like when we needed to stop for the restroom. As a guide, he adapted to our schedule, interests, and made us aware of several options ( paid or non paid) without pushing us for a decision or another, just staying very informative. He was also very knowledgeable about all the animals and nuances between different species, even small birds. He took us close to all the animals while staying respectful to other jeeps and the park, never getting off the tracks like other drivers, which we really appreciated. 10/10 would recommend

    Incredible Kenya Adventure (August 3 - August 13)

    I just returned from an unforgettable trip to Kenya, taking place from August 3 to August 13, and it was truly a dream come true! We traveled with Apodiformes Tours, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. Itinerary Highlights: Our journey included visits to some of Kenya's most stunning destinations: the Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli National Park, and Tsavo National Park. Each location offered its own unique beauty and a plethora of wildlife. Masai Mara: Kicking off our adventure in the Masai Mara, we were treated to remarkable wildlife sightings, including the Great Migration. The thrill of watching wildebeest and zebras traversing the vast plains was something I will never forget. Our driver, Kim, expertly navigated the reserve, ensuring that we had the best views of animals, including lions, cheetahs, and elephants. Lake Naivasha: Next, we visited Lake Naivasha, where we went on a delightful boat ride. The serene waters were home to a variety of birds, including pelicans and herons, and we even spotted a few hippos lounging nearby. The scenery was stunning, with lush green surroundings and a sense of peace that invigorated us for the next leg of our journey. Lake Nakuru: Our trip continued to Lake Nakuru National Park. This park is famous for its vibrant flamingos and diverse wildlife. Kim guided us through the park, where we were able to see the stunning pink hues of the lake, as well as rhinos and a variety of other wildlife. The sight of a rhino was a personal highlight for me! Amboseli National Park: Amboseli was another highlight of our tour. With Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, the views were breathtaking. We were fortunate to see large herds of elephants up close, and again, Kim's deep knowledge of the area made our experience richer. He shared fascinating facts about the ecology of the park and the conservation efforts for its wildlife. Tsavo National Park: Lastly, we explored the magnificent Tsavo National Park. Its vast landscapes and vibrant ecosystems left us in awe. We spotted plenty of wildlife, including giraffes, zebras, and various antelope species. The sense of adventure was palpable, and we loved every moment of our time there. Exceptional Driver - Kim: Throughout our journey, Kim was an outstanding driver and guide. His expertise and passion for wildlife and culture enriched our experience immensely. Kim was friendly, accommodating, and always willing to go the extra mile to ensure we had an incredible time. Accommodations: The accommodations arranged by Apodiformes Tours were excellent, providing great comfort after our daily adventures. Each lodge and camp featured warm hospitality and delicious food, making our stay even more enjoyable. Conclusion: Overall, my trip to Kenya from August 3 to August 13 with Apodiformes Tours was a remarkable adventure filled with stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife, and rich cultural experiences. I am grateful for the memories made and highly recommend this tour company and especially Kim as a guide to anyone looking to explore the beauty of Kenya!

    2nd Beautiful World Great trip.

    Our experience with Silas was excellent. Prompt responses to our various queries were very satisfying. Hallmark was our tour guide GIBSON, who was best & made our all safaries memorable. What touched me was he made special stool for me to climb the Van as I am 70+ was finding difficult to climb Van every time . They are too good & most professional. I strongly recomend APODIFORMES ADVENTURES to make your tour memorable in Kenya. 🐆❤️ Archana Mehta

    These guys are the best

    I did a tour with Silas and his company and I am currently in Nairobi enjoying this magnificent tour. The tour was very well managed by Silas and his amazing tour guide Gibson. We covered Amboselli, Tsavo, Nakkuru, Naivasha and Masai mara. Silas and Gibson changed our itinerary on landing and made the best decision of our lives. We had Masai Mara as the first stop but Gibson recommended to keep it as the last stop as Migration had not started in full swing. We were very excited to see it and Gibson made sure to make us witness a beautiful natural process. He explains everything really well and has a lot of knowledge. We saw big5 and saw them multiple times. We highly recommend them! They were extra kind and helped us with extra car twice to accommodate our luggage. Gibson is so patient and he is a lovely person. We highly highly recommend these guys. There are thousands of agents in Africa but if you want a tour guide and a company that will make sure you remain safe and have the best trip of your life, go with these guys!!! Thank you Silas and Gibson.

    11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Nairobi.

    How much does 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu cost?

    +

    Prices start at $5,000 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Nairobi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu take?

    +

    Plan for about 264 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Nairobi is not rushed.

    Is 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Nairobi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 264-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Nairobi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Nairobi and add a light layer if any part of the 264-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Nairobi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Nairobi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Nairobi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Wild 5-Day Safari: Magical Mara, Nakuru Wonders & Hell's Gate, 2 Days Amboseli Safari using a 4x4 Landcruiser jeep(with options), Kibera Slum Tour with Lucas. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Nairobi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Nairobi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu?

    +

    Included: Lunch; Dinner; Breakfast; and game drives, accomodations. Not included: Optional Boat Ride 30 USD per person. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 597 listed pickup locations in and around Nairobi. Be ready about 20 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu offered in?

    +

    It is offered in German, English, Italian, French and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu?

    Is 11 Days Private Tour to Explore Amboseli and Samburu wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Specialized infant seats are available; and Transportation options are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
