The expert for tailor-made safaris in Kenya and Tanzania

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.

Enjoyed the great migration at Masai Mara We did a 5 Days Masai Mara Safari to see the great migration. Our driver Adam was a fine and safe driver who had the perfect hunting instinct for spotting rare animals and sights, a genuine respect for the animals giving them space (meaning not speeding off-road up to a meter of a hunting leopard ousting his prey, like we saw some other drivers doing) while still enabling us to take amazing shots and close up observations. We enjoyed a hot air balloon experience which is an absolute must if you have the possibility, and stayed at the Fig tree which was nice but overpriced. The trip including transfers and domestic flight was well organized and accompanied by Marco Polo Safaris. one minor hiccup where another driver did not show up in time for a transfer was solved in a professional and friendly way.

In touch with the nature Amazing one day trip to Wasini Island. We took the Arabian Dhow and we went out in the open sea to see the dolphins and snorkelling in the blue water. Wasini island is not far from the coast and we got to know the local population, very friendly and welcoming

We had an 11 day safari with Marco Polo safaris and it was the best experience. I enquired with many companies before travelling and Marco was great at replying and giving advice on the best way to do such a long safari which included an internal flight and a hot air balloon trip. There is always a worry about making payments in advance but that's where trust is essential and I would not hesitate to use Marco again or to recommend him and his company to anyone. He even booked and arranged our hotel at Diani beach which saved us time and effort. We had 2 drivers for our Safari. Michaeal Kimeu took us on the first half and he was just the best. Michael was a careful and considerate driver, had a great, genuine personality and did everything he could to get us to see the animals. Boniface (Bonnie) was our second driver and he was equally good. He took us to all the beautiful spots and managed to get us to see some amazing sites of lions straight after a kill (not for the faint hearted!). As I said before, I would definitely recommend Marco Polo safaris and I hope you get to see all of the things we saw plus more.

Amazing experience It was an amazing experience staring from the booking and till the end of our journey. Marco provided us detail information regards to our booking and choice a safari that really suited for what we were looking for, everything was delivered as promised.
