David was a great driver. He was waiting for us upon our arrival and was very courteous and kind. His vehicle was very clean and he had the AC running... read more for us on a hot day. I would recommend David for any transfers you need.

  We spent three days with African Beast Tours at Amboseli National Park and it was a fantastic start right off the bat for our Africa trip. Our guide was Peter... read more Oyugi. Our exit out from Nairobi airport was delayed but he was there patiently waiting to pick us up for the 4-hour drive to Amboseli.

We stayed at AA Lodge there, which is just outside the park, and an oasis in the midst of a dry and barren savannah. Our cottage was nice and clean, and my word the place was a haven for all kinds of beautiful birds, such as sunbirds, weavers, starlings, etc. Food was pretty decent too. Would be better if the rooms had electric fans for better ventilation though.

We were incredibly fortunate to have Peter as our guide, as he was very knowledgeable about the behaviours and names of the various animals and birds in the park. He is also very fluent in English (native fluency). We also had plenty of luck with him, getting front-row views of elephants, zebras, giraffes, and lions (twice)! We are avid birders as well so it was a big bonus for us seeing so many different kinds of East African birds in the park, and being told what their names were. Took hundreds of photos there!

The biggest attraction of Amboseli is its view of the majestic Kilimanjaro. The weather was not the best, but we still managed to get several nice pictures of the peak.

I also want to commend the organization by Shadrack from African Beast Tours. It was very straightforward, clear, and hassle-free. They even managed to accomodate our itinerary by dropping us off at the Namanga border with Tanzania.

We highly recommend this tour to anyone with a few days to spare in Kenya. Too under-rated!

  I had a fantastic day at Hell’s Gate and Naivasha will my driver-guide David! He was timely, enthusiastic, extremely knowledgeable, and tailored the day to my specific interests. The absolute... read more highlight for me was spotting my favorite animal, the hyrax! David knew exactly where to find them and made my dream of spotting one in the wild come true! The pacing of the tour was perfect to pack a lot into the day without feeling rushed. I also enjoyed my time hiking in the gorge with Hell’s Gate Community Guide Frederick, and the peaceful boating on Lake Naivasha. This (solo) private tour was an excellent value for the money, and was truly a day I will never forget!

  What a great experience! We were able to book last minute and the park animals were breathtaking! Our driver Jeff was so knowledgeable and funny! He’s a very safe driver... read more as well! Accommodations were great at the AA lodge. It was an all around great adventure

  We were picked up by our guide Patrick from the hotel in the morning, he drive us around safely the whole day. Everything was perfectly planned, Patrick and our Hell's... read more Gate guide Reagan offered a lot of knowledge and answered our numerous questions. Overall great experience, really recommend if you're visiting Nairobi.

  Our visit to Hell's Gate and Lake Naivasha was easily the best experience that we had during our week long trip to Kenya. Hell's Gate doesn't have any big cats... read more which may turn some people off but that also means that you can get out of the car and get really close to Zebras and Giraffes among other animals. Although we didn't partake in it ourselves you can also rent bikes and ride around the park. All national parks in Kenya offer stunning scenery but in my opinion Hell's gate with its towering cliffs and other worldly gorge is a stand out. Lake Naivasha on the other hand, is probably the most beautiful lake I have ever been to. You can get very very close to Hippos and the lake itself with the magnificent Mt. Longonot in the background is really picturesque. After the boat ride on Lake Naivasha we had lunch at the Lake Naivasha crescent camp. The food was very good and there's also a buffet available but since we had a breakfast buffet at our hotel we didn't go for the buffet at the camp.

However, I would be doing a great disservice if I didn't mention our guide Jaffar and our driver Mr. Kazungu. Not only were they incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining in their description of the park, its geology and history, they also helped us out of a really troublesome spot. Our bank cards weren't working with the ATMs in Kenya and we were really running low on cash. Eventually we had to use Western Union to get some money. However it was a Friday. Jaffar made some adjustments to quicken up our trip and get back to Nairobi on time and when we were stuck in traffic he even paid for a bike taxi to get us to the Western Union office. I have travelled across many countries and I can tell you that I have never come across a guide and driver who care more for their customers.
