Having planned the safari trip to Kenya, we approached many agencies and I have to admit that from time to time we got little bit frustrated as the communication was not exactly smooth or the companies werent able to offer us what we wanted. Having special requirements as seeing more parcs in less time seemed to be unreal for them or they put an absurd price tag on it. And then, we came across LiReise tour company and all the struggles went away as Lilian, the manager, was so great and helpful. The communication was super easy, Lilian seemed to work 24/7 as she replied quicky and also late in the evenings/during weekends. Lilian also managed to offer us exactly what we wanted - 2 days safari to Tsavo East and West for a very favorable price. We paid everything online through PayPal in advance so it was also well-handled. And still the best part of this experience was yet to come. Nelson, the guide/driver, and Elly, the national coordinator, picked us up exactly on time in Mombasa and our best moments in Kenya started. They were great people to have around once you go on safari - super careful about your needs, very knowledgable and incredibly fun. Plus, the most important thing - Nelson did not hesitate to take the bumpier roads or more time to make sure that you see as many animals as possible. I am sure it was not my last time in Kenya and even more sure is that I would want to enjoy the services of LiReise tour again as I could not be more satisfied and I would recommend them to everybody because they were simply perfect. I dont have even one thing I would complain about. Many thanks again for everything, keep doing the great job!

We (party of 12) spent two weeks at bamburi beach hotel and used Sam (Tropical Cat Tours) for all transport during the two weeks and Safari for a weekend. I cannot fault the service received. Sam is very professional and his local knowledge is priceless while we were on our trip there. Timekeeping was spot on and everything was arranged to perfection. I would highly recommend to anybody.

I was a little anxious about doing this trip alone but everyone was so friendly and I had so much fun. I opted to go snorkelling with a member of the boat crew. We were out for almost an hour and I saw the most amazing marine l upife. We were lucky enough to see some dolphins, although not for long. Lunch on Wasini Island was really good, plenty of food and the service was great. My overnight stay at Shimoni Reef Lodge was just perfect, the staff went out of their way to welcome me and make my stay memorable. The food was wonderful. I took the opportunity to visit the slave caves and was escorted there personally by Nyinge who worked at the Lodge, nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this trip to anyone looking for a unique two day experience
