We had a good safari with a great guide, visited maasai mara and a few days at the Coast, would highly recommend Excel Getaways for your plans
we booked our holiday at Diani Sea Lodge with Excel Getways, had some great deal, the tours to various attractions in Mombasa were also spot on.
The experience was awesome, loved the help accorded by Nancy while planning for our honeymoon, the choice of the hotel (Sandies Tropical Paradise) was nothing but the best.
Booked a 3 night to the Coast with excel, it was worth worth every penny spent, SGR plus Neptune Paradise- got a free room upgrade which was a plus.
Had a wonderful time over Christmas in Amboseli/Tsavo, thanks to Nancy, our guide John and all the Staff at Excel Getaways. We had a blast, will be back soon.
Our family of seven (including a 6 year old) just returned from a 9 day safari and I wanted to write a review because it was the best experience we could ever had hoped for. Nancy was so patient with us as we went back and forth several times fine tuning our itinerary. She always replied promptly, gave us valuable advice and organized everything right down to the final airport drop off so that our vacation was stress free and enjoyable. I have to make a special mention of Bedan our guide. While Nancy saw to all the details it was Bedan who made the safari absolutely memorable. He was so friendly and so knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we had the best safari experience we could have hoped for. He would talk to other guides, get tips from them as to where the best animal sightings were and would joke about his “secret” which would be yet another marvellous animal sighting. He would drive around in all directions so we had the best vantage point to view and take photographs of the animals. My family and I don’t have enough words to say how incredible both Bedan and Nancy were.
We used excel getaways for our incredible trip to Kenya and could not recommend them more. They are a local company who provided us with a comprehensive itinerary based on our requirements and desires to see as many animals as possible. Nancy was very responsive via email and WhatsApp and patient with changes that needed to be made. She booked everything for us. Once we landed, Bedan was our guide and we could not ask for anyone better. He was so kind, patient with our questions, knowledgeable about the animals and really cared about conserving the parks and animals. The Land Cruiser vehicle was comfortable for our group of 7 with water and wifi on board. Because of Bedan and his enthusiasm we were able to see the big 5 across several parks and had the trip of a lifetime. If you’re planning a safari trip to Kenya I’d highly recommend using Excel Getaways!
We owe our unforgettable experience in Kenya to the Excel Getaways team. When planning our trip, we worked with Nancy, who was incredibly patient and adaptable as we shared our goals for the trip and what mattered to us most. She took care of booking our entire itinerary and was always communicative and responsive over email and WhatsApp for anything leading up to our departure. Upon arrival, we were picked up by our guide, Bedan, who was with us for a 10 day safari adventure. Our truck was comfortable for our group of 7 with large windows and an open roof for game drives. It provided wifi, charging outlets, and drinking water available at all times. Bedan truly made our experience what it was, driving us from park to park and tirelessly working to get us the best views on game drives. He was incredibly knowledgeable about every animal and educated us about Kenyan culture and the wild animals daily. Thanks to him and his hard work, we were fortunate enough to see the Big Five! I can’t recommend this company enough. Nancy, Bedan, and the entire Excel Getaways team allowed us to feel safe, relaxed, and truly say ‘hakuna matata’ on our safari adventure. Thank you!
From my first conversation with Nancy to our final goodbye to our wonderful driver , Joseph, at the airport, Excel getaways delivered everything it promised.- and more! Our days were filled with informative game drives, excellent hotels and meals, and a driver who went out of his way to maximize animal sightings. Nancy had customized everything on our trip for just the three of us, including our 8-year-old grandson. Our trip took us to game reserves and conservatories that were chock full of animals. We were familiar with the Maasai mara, but this trip included many more places that were unexpected delights. We would recommend Excel getaways without reservation or hesitation.
