3 nights Mara North This was my third safari I booked with Marco and everything was excellent again. I stayed at Royal Mara for 3 nights and i enjoyed every moment there. My driver/guide was Amos, he was very knowledgeable about the park and the animals. First time I managed to see big 5 in that time space.

6 days safari experience We had 6 days safari, it was amazing experience, we managed to see the great migration, everything was well-prepared and well-organized:)

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.

Excellent safari in the Masai Mara My colleagues and I had a wonderful two-night safari in the Masai Mara organised by Marco Polo. Everything about it was excellent - the hotel pick-up from Shanzu, the flights from Mombasa and back to Mombasa (3 of us) and Ukunda (one of us), and the pick-up from Ukunda airport - all brilliant and on time. Our stay at Fig Tree Camp was superb, out driver Julius was hugely knowledgeable about the animals and a real expert in getting our vehicle into great viewing positions. We saw all 'the big five' and very much more besides. The safari far exceeded our expectations and nothing was too much trouble for Julius or for Fig Tree. We were looking for a mid-range safari option and this was excellent value. We cannot fault it and highly recommend Marco Polo, Mombasa Air Safaris and Fig Tree Camp. Thank you Marco for organising such a great trip for us!

Really nice experience! We were 6 friends from Paris who wanted to do a 2 days / 1 night Safari in Massai Mara from Ukunda. Marco booked us a night in Governors Camp with the plane, the driver, the game drive and the food included. 880€ per person. The experience was wonderful: the lodge is perfect in the middle of the nature close to the Massai River, surrounded by animals. We saw all the big 5 (except Rhino). The food was perfect. Service perfect. Really nice people. Marco was reactive has we asked. No negative points ✅

National Marine Park daytrip from Diani Marco from Marco Polo Safaris organised a very nice day trip to Wasini Island, snorkelling in the National Marine Park and back for a reasonable cost. Lovely young people from the Wasini Island community operated the boats with skill and experience and the atmosphere was very nice, ending with a sing-song and drumming on the way back. I would recommend this tour operator and the location for a day trip for sure if you are into marine life and outdoor.
