The expert for tailor-made safaris in Kenya and Tanzania

I was quite anxious before the trip as I didn’t know what to expect: this was my first safari experience. But everything went extremely smoothly. Our guide Richard was very nice, he showed us quite a lot of animals and told us a lot about savannah and Kenya. We saw many lions, a leopard, a giraffe, elephants, zebras, and other animals and birds. Accommodation was nice too: Marco Polo offers packages with quite nice hotels. We were actually very surprised that a hotel in the middle of savannah would be so comfortable. We also used Marco Polo Tours for transfer from our hotel, as our tour operator wanted to pick us up too early before the flight. The driver came right in time and the transfer went smoothly.

Amazing trip to Tsavo East with Marco Polo Safaris We booked the 2-days trip to Tsavo and it was just amazing! We were picked up at our hotel in Diani Beach early in the morning at 6.00am. Around 10am we arrived the Bachuma gate of Tsavo East. We saw so many animals like lions, giraffes, different kind of antilopes and so many big herds of elephants, also some very small baby’s! 😍 we did 3 gamedrives; 1 when we arrived, 1 after lunch late in the afternoon and the third one late in the morning of day 2. Our driver Amos stopped everywhere were we wanted to stop and gives enough time to watch and photograph the animals. He is a good and very safe driver, also in the busy city of Mombasa. We slept at Voi lodge, a beautiful lodge near the park. Nice rooms, good food and a swimmingpool with view at the waterhole were we saw the waterbucks. Very special. We enjoyed every minute of our safari with Marco Polo and recommend this agency and of course our driver Amos! We had a great time!

We’ve booked safari with Marco to tsavo east and west. Marco was very supportive and organized everything . His driver Michael did everything to make us happy during the trip. Thanks to Michael we was able to see the big 5 and plenty other creatures in the park.

My next safari I will definitely will book again wir Marco. The booked lodges was also a very good choice . All in all it was a great time.

Great experience and customer service We booked here in Kenya, got picked up from the resort and Marco took mich time to explain all options of safaris with lengths, the lodges, the animals likely to see. Really great service! We ended up with a private, tailored safari to our needs and expectations. (Maybe won't work so smooth in peak season). Our guide and driver Ammos was greatly experienced, and very eager to find all like of animals for us. We ended up seeing the big 5! With Marco Polo on a 3 day safari. Greatly recommended

2 days in Tsavo East with all the beautiful small and big friends! I’ve just returned from my second safari with Marco Polo Safaris, and once again it was a truly memorable experience. This time I booked a 2-day safari to Tsavo East, and I traveled alone, which turned out to be the best decision. Going solo meant I could fully focus on the animals I’m most excited about, take my time, and enjoy every moment without rushing.

My guide, Mike, was outstanding. He’s calm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, but what impressed me most is his eye for wildlife. He notices movement and details in the landscape that most people would completely miss. From the very beginning, it felt like I was with someone who genuinely loves what he does.

The safari kicked off with a spotted owl, and from that moment birds became the highlight of the trip. We spotted an amazing variety: big and small birds, plus many different birds of prey. If you’re a bird lover (or even if you think you aren’t), this experience might convert you.

My absolute favorite memory was seeing mongooses jumping around on a termite mound — it was one of those simple, joyful wildlife moments you don’t forget. And it reminded me of something important: safari isn’t only about ticking off the Big Five. It’s about admiring every creature, from the smallest animals to the iconic ones, and taking in the stunning landscapes that make the whole experience feel special.

A big thank to Marco, as always, who helped me plan the safari ahead of time. The communication was smooth, the advice was helpful, and the patience and support made everything stress-free. And Mike, thank you for the laughs, the great company, and all the incredible sightings (even outside the park!). I’d absolutely recommend Marco Polo Safaris and would happily book again.

Amazing We can recommend Ali our driver from Marco polo and the whole boat time when we went snorkeling!We will book there again!
