The expert for tailor-made safaris in Kenya and Tanzania

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 one day Safari from Marco Polo We highly recommend Marco Polo Safari Agency! He is very, very kind and he provides everything you ask for! Extremely professional 🙂 Fast and easy communication ( which is usually rare in Africa ) but he is great. We had an amazing one day experience to Tsavo East. The driver picked us up at 5 Am from the hotel and he returned us back at 20:30 PM - full day:)We saw elephants, giraffes, antelopes, zebras, ostrich, big monkeys, and some other similar to deers animals. We had a lunch in Sentrim Camp inside the National park. Thank you, Marco! We appreciate it:)

Tsavo East Review Wonderful experience with micheal our tour guide at Tsavo East. Picked up at 6.30am he explained everything we would need. His knowledge of the park and the animals and great. A truly once in a lifetime experience. Would highly recommend Marco Polo and use again in the future.

Pack extra water for the “all inclusive resort” Our safari guide was fantastic- so knowledgeable and did a great job of keeping our kids engaged in the safari in the (very few) moments when we weren’t seeing any animals. He also made sure we had lots of cold bottled water, which was especially appreciated because the “all-inclusive” accommodations we stayed at only gave us 1.5 L of drinking/potable water for our family of 4 for the day and wanted to charge us extra for any additional water. Our accommodation was otherwise good- delicious food, clean/comfy beds, a small swimming pool to splash in, and lots of wildlife nearby/in the resort to admire. Overall a great trip and we would definitely book with Marco Polo Safaris again!

Amazing Safari- Tsavo East We recently returned from our wonderful holiday in Kenya. While staying at Diani beach, we booked a 2 night / 3 day safari with Marco at Marco Polo Safaris who was very helpful. It was amazing and we were looked after by Michael who was fantastic during our safari.
From the first moment our family was in super capable and professional hands with Michale going out of his way to accommodate what we wanted to get from our short safari. We traveled to Tsavo East and stayed at the Ashnil Aruba Lodge.
We knew the risk of going during the wet season and Michael went out of his way to ensure we saw as much as possible. He has an amazing ability to spot wildlife and managed to give us the opportunity to see everything we wanted to see.
Michael really looked after us, has a super professional yet relaxed and accommodating approach and is a very safe driver.
We went with our two children (11 & 13) and honestly it was a trip that will be remembered by our family as an incredible experience forever. Should we ever return to Kenya and look to do a safari again in future we would 100% want Michael to take us out again. Our thanks to Michael and Marco!

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.
