Perfect! Thank you for a great safari! Special thanks for my driver and friend Richard.
I also rented car from Marco Polo. They delivered a car on time. Car was in cery good condition.

Unforgettable Safari experience thanks to Mathias!! Marco from Marco Polo Safari helped us book an amazing safari experience to Tsavo Park East, we got a private car for the 3 of us at a great price. I cannot say enough about our amazing tour guide Mathias, it would have been an incredible experience regardless, but he took it to the next level. Very kind, friendly, treated us like family and was extremely knowledgeable! He shared a lot of information about Kenya, history, geography, current events, nature . And a true expert on all things in Tsavo Park! With decades of experience, he knew all the animal hotspots, He showed us the big five and more!! Car was very comfortable, and the camp we stayed in was absolutely beautiful. At the end of the trip he offered to take us to a Maasai village, where we got a tour of their homes, village, and were treated to a traditional dance. On my next trip to Diani, we will be using Marco Polo to book more excursions and personally requesting Mathias to get some time with this incredible man!! Thank you for an unforgettable 2 days Mathias ️

8 day Safari We did an 8 day safari going through Masi Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo East. We were picked up from Nairobi airport and then started the Safari, ending on the coast at Diani Beach where we spend a few nights before flying back to Nairobi.
We booked with Marco via their website and confirmed all the details over email and whatsapp. Marco was very helpful and answered all our questions (we also requested a cycle trip at Hells Gate which Marco arranged for us). We paid a 50% deposit by bank transfer and the balance was paid to the driver at the start of the safari in USD cash. The reason for the cash payment is because it is needed to pay the park and lodge fees (this is normal practice).
The safari itself was amazing, we travelled and did the game drives in a large jeep where the roof can be risen allowing you to stand up and get a 360 view of all the animals around you. We saw the big five and many many more animals.
Our driver was called Michael and was wonderful. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals, parks and landscapes. He is also well connected with the other game drivers and they work together to find the animals so you have the best chance of seeing them. We visited 5 different parks which meant a lot of different terrains and weather conditions, Michael knew all the parks well (which is not very common as most drivers only go to 1 or 2 parks). He is also a skilled driver in terms of managing the different weather conditions so we always felt very safe.
The accommodation Marco arranged was all very nice and luxurious (mainly tented camps and lodges), we felt very spoilt!
We went go to Diani Beach Marco also helped us with arranging a snorkeling trip.
I cannot recommend Marco and Michael enough, our safari trip was perfectly organised and such an amazing experience.

Great Safari experience The Safari and the lodge were fantastic. Our guide/driver Abdul was very good at driving, he was friendly and very knowledgeable about both the places we visited and the animals we saw.

Great Safari, driver and organization We did a private 4 day safari to Amboseli, Tsavo west, Tsavo East and they dropped us off at our hotel in Diani beach. Everything was amazing! Communication before hand went very smooth. They answer emails/whatsapp very fast, within an hour (but mostly faster). And booking a tour is easy. You can leave a deposit, or pay in cash euro/dollars/ksh. Our driver, Abdul, was very nice and he knows a lot about the animals. Also, he feels when you are needing time for yourself. So that’s perfect for us! The jeep was very nice and comfortable. I would definitely recommend Marco Polo Safari’s. We slept in hotels: Kilima Amboseli Lodge (very comfortable with views on Kilimanjaro), Kilaguna Serena lodge (very luxury, our favorite) and Sentrim Safari lodge (glamping with pool). The last hotel was a little less nice, but that was because we went from very luxurious to a nice ok good glamping :p Next time It would definitely book with Marco Polo again.

Great Safari and Great Guides My friends and I had an amazing experience with Marco Polo Safaris. We were a group of 5 and did a safari in Tsavo East Park for 2 days 1 night. The driver, Mike was excellent, friendly and knew the park very well. We were able to see many animals (leopards, lions, giraffes, elephants, hippos, zebras etc.) during the 2 days we were in the park and had an amazing time. We spent the night at Sentrim Tsavo East which had decent amenities. Eric was a great guide and made sure we were comfortable. Would definitely recommend Marco Polo Safaris - It was recommended to me by a friend and I am very happy with the service.
