The expert for tailor-made safaris in Kenya and Tanzania

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.

Marco Polo Safari’s (All Inclusive Experience) I recently returned from a week long safari booked through Marco Polo Safaris. Marco was responsive and even reached out when one of our camps flooded to promptly relocate us to another lodge. We were picked up from the airport by our amazing guide Boniface who not only was our tour guide for the entire week but by the end became my friend. He was so knowledgeable about the animals and thanks to him we were able to see the Big 5 by day two. Payment was easy although I know that some may have reservations regarding wiring a deposit to another country the process was easy and Marco confirmed as soon as the funds were received. I highly recommend booking with Marco Polo and will do so again in the future myself.

Beautiful experience! We really enjoy it! It was very organized and although I only did one day safari, I saw lions. Elephants, zebras, hippotami. In January, the vegetation is rich.

Unforgettable experience We booked a 3-day safari to Tsavo East and Amboseli with Marco and had an incredible time.
We became really good friends with our guide Boni. He put in a lot of effort and made sure, that we could see as many animals as possible. Boni has a lot of experience as well as a lot of knowledge and can tell you basically everything about the animals and their behaviour. Also, he gave us a lot of background information about Kenyan culture. We will never forget this incredible experience.
Thank you, friend!

Well organised safari trip to Masa Mara by Marco Polo We (3 pers) visited Masa Mara for three days. Took off at Diani Beach and by airplane to Fig Tree Camp. It was well organsied and a very nice accomodation and good safari. We encoutered an issue with the availability of the return flight but all was well handled by Marco Polo.

Amazing 6 days Safari - highly recommended Amazing 6 days Safari with Micheal. Everything was well organized balancing game drive and relax time. The jeep was big and well cleaned everyday. The guide was really professional and friendly, accommodating all the requests. We had the chance to see big fives including leopards’ hunting session.
