The expert for tailor-made safaris in Kenya and Tanzania

We love Tsavo East and Marco Polo Safaris! We travelled to Tsavo East with Marco Polo Safari from Diani Beach, Kenya.
We contacted Marco Polo via Email/Whats app for advise and an offer. We got very quick a reply and good advice where to to go to see the most animals. We even were picked up at our hotel to finalize the booking at the office.

On the day of the trip, a very pleasant car with Abdull showed up at the hotel. We drove to the park, but we could ask for everything!
When entering the park we saw immediately Lions! During the whole safari we saw a lot of animals and Abdull was a really great guide and driver. He saw a lot of animals and made it possible that we saw them really up-close! He suggested during the trip also the best solutions to get the most out of the trip. (Having early breakfast to have a long safari in the morning, taken a different road as the ferry was broken down and we should be waiting at least 2 hours in the sun). He also had a lot of knowledge about the animals.

When arriving back at the hotel we received a call to inform how our experience was and that was unexpected but appreciated. We shared the same message as we do here.
Very well organized, good car, good driver, good stay, good trip, a lot animals!

Thanks Abdull and Marco Polo tours for letting us have such a nice experience when travelling Tsavo East!

Most memorable 'Bucket list' holiday !! Two families with older kids on first trip Kenya, a bucket list holiday Marco Polo was recommended by a friend and they planned an itinerary for us months in advance. easy to deal with and flexible to our needs.

The Safaris completely lived up to our expectations and more. even though the great migration was almost over, apparently shorter this year, something no one can predict but amazing Big 5 sightings never the less. We were lucky to have Michael our exceptional Driver Guide, full of local knowledge and an eye like an eagle to spot wildlife from afar The kids loved his company.

Accommodation Camps/Hotels were good overall, stunning locations but some minor issues like hot water and food that could be an area of improvement.

Overall, most memorable holiday and we would happily come again with Marco Polo and Michael as the trusted guide Thanks to both of them !!

The Best Safari! 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.

Safari in Kenya We had and amazing time. The organization and comunication with the tour organizer was easy and fluent. The accommodations were nice as expexted. Our driver, Abdul, was very attentive, puntual and flexible with the plans and stops. We would recommend it!

Great Safari experience The Safari and the lodge were fantastic. Our guide/driver Abdul was very good at driving, he was friendly and very knowledgeable about both the places we visited and the animals we saw.

Unforgettable 3-Day Safari with the Perfect Guide Amos – The Absolute Highlight of Our Trip! This 3-day safari was simply breathtaking and exceeded all our expectations. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, and the wildlife sightings were incredible – elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, and even lions in their natural habitat. Every game drive was an unforgettable adventure. We were fortunate to explore both Tsavo East National Park and Tsavo West National Park, which gave us a wonderful variety of landscapes and wildlife experiences.

There was a small change regarding our accommodation on the first night: due to overbooking, our originally planned stay at Sentrim Lodge was not available. We were informed the evening before and asked if the change was okay with us. After giving our approval, we were upgraded to Ashnil Aruba Lodge, which truly felt like a fantastic upgrade. The lodge was beautiful and perfectly located by a waterhole, where we could watch animals gather right in front of us.

On the second night, we stayed at the spectacular Salt Lick Safari Lodge, built on stilts overlooking a waterhole. Watching elephants come in during the evening was simply magical and something we will never forget.

A very special thank you goes to our guide, Amos. He was absolutely outstanding – professional, friendly, patient, and incredibly knowledgeable. His experience and sharp eye made it possible for us to see so many amazing animals. He always made us feel safe and comfortable, answered all our questions with passion, and truly went above and beyond to give us the best possible safari experience. Amos made this trip extra special, and we are deeply grateful for his dedication and kindness.

Conclusion: A perfectly arranged safari with incredible wildlife sightings in both Tsavo East and Tsavo West, outstanding accommodations, and exceptional service. The timely communication and unexpected lodge upgrade, combined with our amazing guide Amos, made this experience unforgettable. We highly recommend it 100%!
