Fantastic safari From the moment we contacted Marco we were impressed with everything. Contact was easy and he tailor made our 3 night safari in Amboseli, Tsavo West and East. The lodges chosen were great and I will write separate reviews on them. He changed the lodge on the last night as the recent reviews of the original lodge on the last night had not been good. Abdul our guide was brilliant collecting us on time from our hotel in Nairobi and driving us to Amboseli for the first day. He was a great guide, pointing out animals that we could not have seen without his expertise. We then went on to Tsavo and the whole time, he was very informative about life in Kenya and the animals. We were dropped at our hotel in Diani at the end. Would definitely recommend Marco Polo and Abdul. We felt the safari was very good value.

Highly recommend I have just returned from an overnight safari to Tesco east with Marco Polo Tours. Our.guide was Matthias. He collected me exactly when and where I had arranged with the office when I booked. He is very knowledgeable and went out of his way to make me feel welcome. My safari experience was better than I had imagined. Our accommodation at Sentrum Lodge in the park was beautiful. The lodges are spotlessly clean and roomy. Coffee and tea making facilities and complimentary bottles of water provided in the room. There is a hairdryer and slippers also provided. My lodge was facing onto the watering hole and I was lucky enough to see a group of elephants come for a drink. The grounds are beautifully shaded with trees and visiting monkeys, birds and butterflies. There is a swimming pool with sunbeds and free towels provided. Meals are included in the price and the only extra is drink.
The food is delicious with so many choices and the staff very friendly. There were vegetarian options at lunch dinner and breakfast.
I only wished I was staying longer to try all the food on offer.
Exploring around the park with Matthias was so exciting and he ensured that we saw many animals and passed on his knowledge about the animals and their surroundings.

Amazing trip! Safari wasan amazing experience. Everything was very well prepared, views were breathtaking and seeing wildlife was spectacular. I especially recommend Masai Mara, Nakuru and Tsavo West. Our driver, Michael Kimeu, was the best-very friendly, very knowledgeable, great spotter of animals, very flexible to accommodate our request. It was a great time and I recommend it to everyone!

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.

Awsome 2 days at Tsavo East A wonderful 2 day Tsavo East private jeep Safari. Abdul, our driver, picked us up at 6am directly at our hotel. For the next two days he impressed us with his german proficiency, his knowledge about animals and the wilderness and his reliable and safe driving style. Thanks a lot for that Abdul ! We stayed at Manyatta lodge, its a little outside of the park but is a stunning location. Excellent food and breakfast. In the morning we watched a elephant family passing the river in front of the lodge. Game drives were awsome, spotted plenty of animals, even a leopard. We were back the other day at 2pm at our hotel. Super value for money. Highly recommended.

Amazing Masai Mara Safari 3 Days Masai Mara ( Fig Tree Camp): Great game drives, amazing lodge, excellent food. Excellent price quality everything included (except for tips).
We can totally recommend Marco Polo Safaris. Everything from A to Z was perfectly organised and we have seen the Big 5. Next time we look forward to come again for an other amazing experience. Thank you Marco. Greetings George and Geert.
