A Journey of a Lifetime – Thank You for the Unforgettable Experience! From Madhu (Read More)banti and family - Bangalore, India We recently returned from a 10-day adventure in the magnificent Maasai Mara, and we are still basking in the memories of what can only be described as a perfect trip – all thanks to the outstanding team at Donwel Tours From the moment we arrived, everything was impeccably arranged. Starting from the warm welcome at the airport , the logistics, accommodations, game drives, meals – every detail was handled with such professionalism and thoughtfulness that all we had to do was immerse ourselves in the magic of Africa. The seamless organization made the journey feel effortless and truly enjoyable. What made this trip stand out was the human touch and personal care shown throughout by the owner of Donwel Tours, Christine. Her and her team's warmth was felt in every interaction. She provided us with her very experienced guide, Elijah who has been in the business for more than 18 years. Eli as we called him , was not only highly knowledgeable and experienced but also deeply passionate about wildlife and the local culture. He brought the Mara to life for us with his stories, insights, and uncanny ability to spot animals from miles away. More than just a guide, he became a friend and a part of our journey. Christine was not only professional but her warmth and personal touch in meticulously handling every details of out trip made us feel so valued and cared for. She treated us not just as clients but her extended family. Her surprise parting gift at the end of the trip made us immensely emotional We can wholeheartedly say that this trip exceeded every expectation. We’ve returned with full hearts, beautiful memories, and a strong desire to explore more of Africa – and without a doubt, it will be with Donwel again Thank you for making our dream safari come true. Until next time – asante sana!

Just went for 8 day safari with James and Wild Portraits Safaris...it was spot o (Read More)n perfect. Reasons 1.Clear communication and replies always comes very quickly on WhatsApp. 2. Very genuine with suggestions and doesn't do things as a job or formality. 3. James is very knowledgeable. 4. The enthusiasm and passion shown by James was just so infectious. 5. The planning of itinerary takes care of all the finer details. 6. They really take care of your focus and they don't try to sell anything you are not interested in. For example we skipped the village visit because we didn't see value in it. 7. Quite flexible and adjusts as things progress.

Everything went smooth and was detailed. Communication was flawless. The experie (Read More)nce was seamless and well organised. Our guide Ben was fantastic and knowledgable so we feel we made a friend in Kenya too. James was superb in helping us plan the trip and with suggestions for stay. All in all it was such a special vacation and I can’t wait to explore more of Africa. People are great ! So warm and friendly and what a truly blessed country with so much nature and wildlife. I would highly recommend Wild Portraits and James and Ben for your travel to Kenya.

please be careful while entering the country at immigration - make sure your pas (Read More)sport is stamped. We had some issue with this. Can’t complain about anything else. It was beyond our expectations.

The responsiveness of Christine (person overall responsible for arrangements)and (Read More) knowledge from Evance (our driver and guide for national parks)about national parks was excellent. We stayed and covered Nairobi, Masai, Naivasha and Daini.. All stays and safaris were perfect could not have asked for better.

We chose Van but we think land cruiser would have been a better option especiall (Read More)y for being comfortable in muddy terrains.

Ajith • 8 months ago

After screening and talking to about 5 travel operators, I decided to go with Na (Read More)ture Romp for an 8 day safari in Kenya. Their rate was competitive and selection of lodges to stay very good. Initially I was skeptical due to less reviews about Nature Romp in public domain. However when I talked to Yvonne, I understood that theirs is a fairly new company and decided to go with them. We (my daughter and I) opted for a private tour covering Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. We were received at the airport and the next day Yvonne, Lucy and Maxwell (guide cum driver) welcomed us at the hotel, early morning of the Safari start. We instantly felt at home and from then onwards it was a memorable trip. Our guide Maxwell is an excellent guide. He knew about birds and animals, their behavior and diligent in driving. He was always on time.

Nothing in particular. Only one stay (at Naivasha) could have been closer to the (Read More) national park. It was nevertheless a good place but not great for bird photography
