The expert for tailor-made safaris in Kenya and Tanzania

Amazing 6 days Safari - highly recommended Amazing 6 days Safari with Micheal. Everything was well organized balancing game drive and relax time. The jeep was big and well cleaned everyday. The guide was really professional and friendly, accommodating all the requests. We had the chance to see big fives including leopards’ hunting session.

Fantastic journey and experiance The views were amazing! We saw 4 big animal: lion, elephant, giraffe and hipo. Driver Amos is very good searcher animals. He noticed animals in the smallest nooks. It wsa fantastic journey!

2 days in Tsavo East with all the beautiful small and big friends! I’ve just returned from my second safari with Marco Polo Safaris, and once again it was a truly memorable experience. This time I booked a 2-day safari to Tsavo East, and I traveled alone, which turned out to be the best decision. Going solo meant I could fully focus on the animals I’m most excited about, take my time, and enjoy every moment without rushing.

My guide, Mike, was outstanding. He’s calm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, but what impressed me most is his eye for wildlife. He notices movement and details in the landscape that most people would completely miss. From the very beginning, it felt like I was with someone who genuinely loves what he does.

The safari kicked off with a spotted owl, and from that moment birds became the highlight of the trip. We spotted an amazing variety: big and small birds, plus many different birds of prey. If you’re a bird lover (or even if you think you aren’t), this experience might convert you.

My absolute favorite memory was seeing mongooses jumping around on a termite mound — it was one of those simple, joyful wildlife moments you don’t forget. And it reminded me of something important: safari isn’t only about ticking off the Big Five. It’s about admiring every creature, from the smallest animals to the iconic ones, and taking in the stunning landscapes that make the whole experience feel special.

A big thank to Marco, as always, who helped me plan the safari ahead of time. The communication was smooth, the advice was helpful, and the patience and support made everything stress-free. And Mike, thank you for the laughs, the great company, and all the incredible sightings (even outside the park!). I’d absolutely recommend Marco Polo Safaris and would happily book again.

Amazing 2 Day Tsavo East Safari with overnight stay at Voi Wildlife Lodge Our plan was to spend 10 days on the beach doing nothing so a safari trip was not on the cards and very much a last minute thing. Our hotel recommended Marco Polo Safaris and Marco suggested the overnight stop at Voi Wildlife Lodge. It was a 7am start and a 3.5 hour drive to Tsavo East with a comfort break along the way. They are improving the roads for the heavy lorry traffic and as such it did take a little longer to get there and back then it should do. Our driver, Sifa, was amazing and got us there safe and sound. We then had a 2 hour game drive through the park to get to our lodge where we had lunch and some down time. Sifa then took us out for another 2 hour game drive and as soon as we entered we saw hundreds of elephants, and I mean hundreds. We have been to the Masai Mara and Kruger before but I have never seen so many elephants. In addition to Giraffes, Zebra and Antelope we were really lucky to also see 2 lion cubs that afternoon doing their Simba and Mustafa impression sat up on a rock whilst there parents went off in search of food. The evening was spent at the hotel which had a large watering hole with viewing platform where we could watch the hippo, elephants, buffalo and antelope whilst enjoying dinner and a much needed cold beer! It was an early start again at 7am for a further 2 hour game drive before starting our journey back to Diani Beach. Sifa knew we wanted to see more lions and possibly cheetah if possible and kept in constant radio contact with other drivers for possible sightings. Our 2 lion cubs had moved on and been joined by mum and dad who were all having an early morning snooze. It was just fabulous! My husband has always wanted to see a cobra and was absolutely thrilled to see a King Cobra and Spitting Cobra out in the wild. Thankfully, we didnt get too close! I would absolutely recommend this trip and it is really good value for money. Make sure you ask for Sifa as your guide because he is just great. The hotel was basic (supposedly 4 star) but where maybe it was somewhat dated, the watering hole viewing more than made up for it.

Best experience ever We had a tailor made trip to Lake Naivasha and Massi Mara followed by a week at Diani Beach We were met from the airport and every step of the way had an escort and private vehicle with Michael our driver who was lovely. The lodges we stayed in organised by Marco Polo were exceptional. Marco was very patient whilst we settled on a full itinerary and probably sent about 50 emails until we had it exactly as we wanted and a perfect holiday. Can highly recommend.

We had a great 4day safari in Tsavo. Best Tour with Sir Amos - Competent, great scenic routes and lots of animals to see thanks to Him. Thank You for unfogettable experience for me and my little family !.
