I took a tour on my birthday and because of Covid I was the only participant. My driver and tour guide name was Simba. He was very knowledgeable and elastic if it comes to my ideas. He's also a great driver! We've been to giraffe centre and, because elephant orphanage was closed, Simba took me to another place, Bomas of Kenya with no extra charge. It was a great day! I can highly recommend Africa Best Tours, the company name is accurate!

Gracepat was an amazing safari experience on a decent budget that I recommend to all my friends and travel groups. What made it even more special was Kelvin, our guide. He is a professional, very knowledgeable, poly, people caring and always striving to make us happy and exceed our expectation. He loves and respects the nature and he knows everithing about wildlife. He knows all the animals, birds and all about the african culture. There was no question we asked that he did not know the answer. He is also an expert driver in all types of terrain, starting from the wet and muddy conditions to the dry ones. Incredible Safary Experience :) !

We had a fantastic time during our 9-day safari in Kenya. From the moment of the first contact until after our tour the communication was always easy and fast. Evelyn was very helpful and answered all our questions very fast. All of our requirements and expectations were met. Our guide Eric was fantastic. His knowledge on the nature, the animals etc is impressive and he took good care of us during the tour. I definitely recommend The Best of Africa Safari Company for safaris in Kenya.
