What people love about Kenya Tours for Seniors
- Kenya Wildlife Safari
This trip far exceeded my expectations, especially since this was my very first time going with a tour. We had an amazing group who made this experience all the more fun. Our driver, cook, and guide was so welcoming and we never once felt like we were in any kind of danger. Our guide, Martin, was always honest with us and made sure we weren't taken advantage of by local merchants. This was really a once in a lifetime experience and the people of Kenya were all wonderful, especially the local tribes who welcome us with open hands and always went out of their way to get everyone involved and taught us so much about their way of life, their culture, and traditions. The itinerary is pretty spot on and there weren't any ugly surprises, only wonderful ones. I would recommend everyone to thoroughly read through it and make sure you bring the right equipment as some people in our group were caught off guard with the storage size and night weather (their sleeping bag didn't hold up to the cold weather). We were able to see so many wild life on our trip, even driving on the highway we saw zebras just walking pass the street. Giraffes, monkeys, and hyenas (we always heard them at night) were also a regular occurrence! On our safari's we were able to see 4/5 big five (+cheetah!) and all of the ugly five. Really just an amazing experience that people of all ages can appreciate!
It is Tim and I first time at a safari and we had a fantastic experience because Lilian and Vincent the driver from G-adventure was knowledgeable in their work. We very much enjoy it and is looking forward for the next trip. Thanks.

My children can’t stop talking about this trip. Zack was patient and full of fun facts for them. We played games during transport, had kid-friendly meals, and stayed in a lodge with a swimming pool. They saw monkeys and rhinos and loved every minute. Best family bonding trip we’ve had.
