Верните деньги, мошенники! Мы оплатили ОЧЕНЬ дорогой тур, из-за пандемии, когда обе страны были закрыты и выезд был невозможен - мы остались без отпуска. Нам обещали вернуть деньги! Последний раз Cats Africa Tours писали в ноябре 2020, что вернут деньги, что они на карантине и не работают пока. Кения уже давно открыта! Cats Africa Tours игнорируют наши письма и ведут себя непрофессионально!
Я раньше ничего не писала, так как верила, что это достойная организация.
Я разочарована!!!
Мы так долго планировали поездку, взяли кредит, который выплачиваем до сих пор!!!
Верните деньги, тогда я удалю свой отзыв!!!
Если вы со мной не свяжетесь в течение недели, буду писать в Министерство по туризму Кении!!!

I enquired about a safari with CATS Africa through Safaribookings, and they replied very quickly with all relevant details. Joyce was then very helpful and responsive in planning my safari until we got to the perfect trip for what we wanted and our budget. Payment was confirmed very quickly, which was reassuring. Everything was very professional, and other members of the office (John and Anne) were also helpful.
On the actual safari, everything went perfectly! Our driver/guide, Cyrus, picked us up exactly as arranged and off we went. Cyrus was not only very knowledgeable about the parks we went to and the wildlife, but also about modern Kenya in general and he was very interesting to talk to over our 5 day trip. He was experienced, kind and helpful. We went in 4x4 (Which I would personally recommend over a minibus) and it was really comfortable. We visited Nakuru, Naivasha and the Masai Mara - the trip was well planned in terms of time spent in each area and our accommodation was great.
And of course we saw some amazing wildlife! The variety of the three parks was excellent, and while there was a fair amount of driving, it didn't feel like too much to me - especially as the road to the Mara is now pretty much fully paved. It was a bit wet in the Mara but that's December I think, and can only be a good thing. There was still a really high density of wildlife to be seen.
Overall, a fantastic experience that we won't forget for all the right reasons! CATS Africa are a trustworthy and experienced operator and I'd have no hesitation recommending them to others arranging a safari in Kenya.

My husband booked this trip for us for our honeymoon. He said Joyce was a pleasure to deal with over email, there were alot but nothing was an issue for her. We had two days in Masai Mara and one day at Lake Nakuru. Our driver Joseph picked us up from our airport hotel and drove us to Masai Mara first. He pointed out different places to us along the drive and answered all of our questions. We had a land cruiser and I'm glad we paid the extra for it, it's definitely worth it. The car was very clean, comfortable (the seats recline) and it had chilled water for us.
Masai Mara, what can I say, unbelievable, what a place! We were extremely lucky and seen the big 5, lions eating their kill, cheetahs hunting and catching a wildebeest, hippos, crocodiles, giraffes, hyenas, zebras and lots more. It was so exciting every day not knowing what we were going to see. Joseph was extremely knowledgable and was amazing at finding the animals. He treated them with respect not getting too close
or staying too long with them.
I have not stopped talking about this trip since we came home and have recommended CATS to all of our family and friends. Joesph was an absolute gent of a man, it is very clear he loves his job (how couldn't he). He had no issue getting up early for us as we wanted to see if we could see lions. We had lovely chats on the drives and I would 100% recommend him and CATS to anyone, we will definitely book with them again for our next safari trip!

Cats Africa designed an 8 day safari just for our group of four. We stayed at 4 different camps, all clean and safe and all offering full board. Our Cats Africa driver/guide was Tom. He was very knowledgeable about the flora and fauna, and helpful in every way. He knew where animals were likely to be and we had close up views of lions, cheetah, buffalo, hippo and all the others. He was an expert driver. The vehicle was perfect for viewing, was clean and comfortable. We spent several days in Masai Mara, known for its cats. We saw them all. Highly recommend this company.

I researched tours for weeks on SafariBookings before we landed on this trip for our honeymoon. We wanted an authentic experience (to stay in a tent) but also a good honeymoon experience (in a high end lodge). The full description of this tour isn’t on Trip Advisor for some reason but it is on the CATS website. You do one night at Lake Nakuru Lion Hill Sarova (in a little cabin) and two nights at Mara Sarova (in a canvas tent). This is a high-end hotel chain and CATS gives you a damn good price considering all you get for the trip. Huge buffet for every meal, outstanding accommodations. Swimming pools, darts, pool tables, mosquito protection, stunning and immaculate grounds, friendly staff, excellent cocktails. Both lodges have a spa.
I can’t say enough good things about our driver, Duncan (Ndegwa). He has been delivering these tours for 14 years, and is extremely knowledgeable about the parks and wildlife. We were on this trip specifically for animals and one of us is a biologist. We would ask one question about a giraffe and he would be able to share a full range of knowledge from the species throughout Kenya and Africa to how to tell them apart, to gestation and lifespans. Outstanding. He was an excellent driver despite chaotic Kenyan roads. He was respectful of the wildlife, maintaining a reasonable distance from animals while getting us close enough to take amazing photos. Other drivers would pull up three feet from a lion’s sleeping face for their tourists to take their pics, and it was horrible. We even saw a bunch of safari vehicles herding a large group of wildebeest purposely at a croc-filled river for the photo opp and our driver wouldn’t participate, and we appreciated his animal respect and common sense. He also stuck to the trails as you’re supposed to. He was excellent at spotting wildlife, from distant rhinos to discreet leopards to snoozing camouflaged lion cubs. We appreciated this even more after we did a three-hour tour with a guide from another company in Nairobi National Park, and that guide couldn’t spot any animals and had little knowledge of species or park management. Duncan ensured we stopped at safe places and even took us on a sensible detour on the drive back to Nairobi to avoid a serious accident (and extensive wait) on a main highway.
We would do two things different next trip: 1. Go to just Maasai Mara, and not bother with Lake Nakuru. It’s a lot more driving to do both. We went there to see the flamingos and could barely see them. There were very few because Duncan explained the water table and lake have risen, so fewer birds are present to enjoy the salt water. We did see a rhino species there though that we wouldn’t have seen in Maasai Mara.
2. Fly in and out of Maasai Mara. I think if’s about $250/person but it would have saved 10 hours of driving. The road from Nairobi to Maasai Mara is ~170 kms but takes 5 hours, and the 2 hours or so near the park aren’t paved. And because they are in the process of paving it, you can’t drive on the gravel road, you have to drive on a temporary side road which has large boulders instead of the small crushed gravel we’re used to at home and it’s a very slow, jarring drive, no matter what vehicle you’re in. Motion-sick people beware! I’d still try to book this through CATS so we could get Duncan and a land cruiser.
Pro tips if you plan to book:
1. Opt for the land cruiser over the van. We asked what the difference was and the tour group sent us pics, but that didn’t help us understand why we should pay the extra for the land cruiser. But having been in a van and watched the land cruisers, we understand that the poor Kenyan infrastructure is much easier and smoother to navigate in the land cruiser, as well as through the bumpy, muddy paths of the game reserves. The windows are much larger and you have more head room. The vehicles seem to be newer. They’re more fun for the guides to drive, and for you to ride in. The vans are a bit more jarring trying to get through the dry mud, as they don’t have the same suspension and strength.
2. See if you can get a night drive in the nearby game reserves (you can’t in the national Parks anymore thanks to poachers).
3. Do not book this tour if you plan to abuse your guide. We were appalled by the behavior of the senior citizen British and American guests. When you pay for your tour, you are paying for a guide and driver with knowledge you need. You are not paying for a servant who should open every door for you, carry all of your bags, be at your beck and call, accept disrespectful treatment and abuse, and do whatever you tell them on safari (go off road, get closer, etc.). Do not speak to them in a derogatory manner. We also saw guests giving their drivers crap for stopping to talk to other drivers, but that was how they shared information about where to see animals. So frankly it’s your loss if you ask them not to stop to speak to other drivers.
Overall we had a wonderful honeymoon adventure and are eternally grateful to Joyce for booking us exceptional accommodations and going the extra mile, and Duncan, for being the greatest guide and helping us stamp our Big-5 bingo card.
Note about my pics: These pics are just what I got on my phone; we have amazing photos on our cameras... thousands of them to sort through! So these don’t quite do what we saw justice.

Our trip to Maasai Mara exceeded our expectations. Throughout the booking process Ms. Joyce Njeri (Operations Manager) was extremely patient, informative & understanding. She answered all my questions patiently through emails (lots of emails). The communication was too good that Ms. Joyce replied to every email with details very promptly.
Our driver/ tour guide Ms. Joseph Mayungu was amazing. He knew the park very well, he knew all the animals, and he explained to us everything very well. We were not fortunate enough to spot the Big 5, but we have seen the Big 4 & several other animals & birds.
Matira Main camp was awesome. We are very much impressed with all of the lodging.
Joyce & Joseph, once again, Thanks for everything.

Cats Africa Tours provided our family with the highest quality experiences for our December vacations holiday. Their safari planning was excellent with absolute satisfaction and enjoyment. Their attention to details ensured they aligned with our ‘bucket list’ criteria and meticulously considered and characterized by the personal touches that made our 3 days Masai Mara trip very memorable. Everything was perfectly arranged from guides and accommodation. Our driver guide Jack was super hawked and spotted animals with ease, was very outgoing and easily related with all the family members despite their different ages. If you are looking for a safari planner for your trip, consider Cats Africa for a taste of stress free vacation trip
