6 Tage Kenia Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Amboseli Wildlife Safari

Über die Erwartungen hinaus. Wir haben eine neuntägige Safari mit African Starpal Safaris gemacht und es war eine großartige Erfahrung. Wir fuhren nach Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli und Tsavo nach Osten und Westen. Als wir zum ersten Mal mit ihnen in Kontakt kamen, antwortete Paul, der Manager, immer sehr schnell auf meine Fragen, und das veranlasste mich, bei African Starpal Safaris zu buchen. Nach der Buchung hielten wir guten Kontakt, bis wir am Flughafen in Nairobi ankamen. Leider ist eines meiner Gepäckstücke nicht angekommen, aber Paul hat sich die Mühe gemacht, ein paar Mal am Flughafen nachzusehen, ob das Gepäck vielleicht angekommen ist. Auf der Safari lief alles gut, unser Guide Boniface zeigte uns all die schönen Plätze in den Parks und wir sahen jede Menge Tiere. Nicht ein einziges Mal hatte ich das Gefühl, im Minivan unsicher zu sein. Wir haben ein mittleres Übernachtungspaket gebucht und alle Hotels waren von überraschend guter Qualität. Auch das Essen in den Restaurants war gut. Einige wenige a la carte, aber meistens war es ein Buffet. Ich kann African Starpal Safaris und den tollen Guide Boniface jedem wärmstens empfehlen, der gerne nach Kenia kommt. Sie haben mir und meinem Vater einen Urlaub beschert, an den sie sich noch lange erinnern werden

We organized a 6 days custom safari with Africa Starpal Safaris via whatsapp. Paul was super helpful providing feedback, suggestions and helping us compare the various alternatives. When we arrived in Kenya everything worked out even better that we thought. Pickup at the agreed time and we leave for our trip. Our guide Tom was exceptional, he really made the difference. He is a very pleasant person and he did everything he could to make our trip something we would remember. It was a marvelous experience. Thanks Africa Stapal Safaris, thanks Paul but mainly thanks our wonderful guide Tom!

As we had a really great time on our 6-day private safari (amboseli, nakuru, masai mara) organized by african starpal safaris, I want to give some information about how we experienced the whole thing. The communication with Paul was good throughout the booking-process. He answered all questions and responded quickly, wich was very helpful as at first we were quite unsure about booking our safari with a small local company based on a few online reviews. But everything went very smooth and we have nothing to complain about. The Lodges we stayed at were great and we felt that we always got one of the best rooms. In addition to that, I guess we had one of the best drivers/guides with Tom. He took really good care of us the whole time, spotted animals from far away with his blank eye (we saw the big5 including 2 leopards which is really rare and a lion hunt + kill among a lot of other wildlife) and had a lot of knowledge about the animals. He also told us a lot about life Kenia and the culture and answered all of our questions. The only thing that could have been better is the car. We opted for the (cheaper) 4x4 safari-van (instand of a Landcruiser) which in fact was a Toyota 2WD which was quite old and looked like it has taken a lot of beating over the past years. But then again, it was a really tough car and in combination with Tom's driving skills (which were simply amazing) we managed to cross offroad paths which I never thought were possible with this car. Tom sayed he makes it a 4WD and he kind of wasn't wrong about it. Still we got stuck once and also had to stop a few times because of minor technical issues but it actually wasn't a big thing for us as Tom was always able to fix it within minutes or knew how to "unstuck" the car. We felt safe and it kind of added some additional adventure to the whole safari-experience ;). So if you are looking for a local safari-agency, give african-starpal a try and make sure you ask for Tom as your driver. If you don't want the additional adventure and you are going to masai mara consider to get a landcruiser or maybe try beforehand to insist on a 4x4 van. We would definitely book with them again.
