What people love about Mombasa Tours
In a word AMAZING! Genuinely cannot recommend Smile View Kenya Tours highly enough. From start to finish it was a smooth experience. Ernest was really helpful with the booking and arrangements. We had the best guide ever in Takana. He was helpful, kind, extremely knowledgable but most importantly so respectful to the animals and their environment. Takana knows Tsavo like the back of his hand and went out of his way to ensure we made the best of the time we had. We were incredibly lucky to see so many beautiful animals and to have the benefit of his wisdom and experience. He made it the experience of a lifetime. To anyone thinking of booking this tour JUST DO IT. You won’t be disappointed! Thanks again Smile View and we will definitely recommend you to family and friends and look forward to contacting you when we come back to Kenya ?
2 Day Tsavo East Safari from Diani Mombasa Kenya
- 07 Days Kenya Rhino Safari & Mombasa Beach Holiday Package
We’re in our 60s, so comfort matters. Zack understood that perfectly. The pace was gentle, and the vehicle had steps for easy entry. Meals were nutritious and light, and the accommodations had hot showers and firm beds. Animals seen included elephants and zebras. Very senior-friendly and excellent value for money.
- 3 Days Best Of Tsavo West and Tsavo East Mombasa Safari
I went on a 3-day Tsavo West and Tsavo East safari with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safari, and it was an absolutely amazing experience! All of our emails were answered very quickly. Our trip started in Mombasa, and everything was very well organized from the beginning. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. Not only was he a good driver, but he also gave us excellent explanations about each animal and place, which made our trip even more enjoyable. In Tsavo East, we saw a group of giant elephants walking in the red dust—which really impressed me. Tsavo West was greener and more mountainous, and the tranquility of Mzima Springs was magical. All in all, it was a well-planned trip where nature, wildlife, and adventure—everything—came together. Regardless of age, this safari is suitable for everyone. I would definitely choose Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris again for future safaris.
