We were attracted to PerfectWilderness as a local company offering an 11-day midrange private safari in Kenya and Tanzania for our family of four for a fraction of the price... read more most other companies were charging. We did not know quite what to expect for a budget price, but it turns out the entire experience was fantastic! We enjoyed excellent communications with the main office (thank you Damaris!), amazing English-speaking guides, a very well-planned itinerary with good lodging and food--and even a phenomenal quick reaction to getting us out of a pickle with a lost passport. Most nights we were staying in beautiful lodges within (or very close to) the national parks with spacious grounds to explore and often animals right on the premises. We can't say enough about our guides (Mike, Elly and Elias). The bottom lines for a great guide are expertise, experience/intuition, communications skills, and...really solid driving skills. Boy did these gentlemen deliver! They were absolutely expert, very interesting, resourceful, and unconditionally accommodating. We saw over 30 animals (all of the major ones less the elusive leopard), most many times over, and over 30 bird species. And talk about accommodating. Our family includes avid photographers and we had a suitcase full of camera gear with us in the vehicle. We ended up with over 30,000 images and an absolutely gorgeous safari portfolio—largely due to the guides' abilities to find the animals and their patience in working with us on exactly positioning the vehicle for great shots. By having the entire vehicle (and guide) to ourselves, we were able to move around within the vehicle to obtain the exact images we wanted. The volume of information about the wildlife and their environs our guides provided was remarkable, including fascinating details on the family structure of each species, their habits, and more. An extra bonus for us was knowing that, by going with a local Nairobi company, our money would be staying in Africa rather than going to some large international company. Enjoy the trip of a lifetime for less than half the price with PerfectWilderness.

We recently returned from a memorable family adventure in Kenya, and our experience with Perfect Wilderness was outstanding. From the moment we touched down in Nairobi to our departure from... read more Diani Beach, every aspect of our trip was meticulously organized. Our journey took us through the breathtaking landscapes of Masai Mara, Amboseli, and Lake Naivasha. The agency also ensured our airport transfers in Nairobi were seamless and arranged our travel to Diani Beach without a hitch. The coordination of our return to Nairobi via a domestic flight was equally smooth, adding to the stress-free experience. A special shoutout to Damaris, who handled our booking. Her prompt responses and attentiveness to our needs made the planning process incredibly easy. We always felt supported and reassured, knowing that we were in capable hands. We also want to extend our gratitude to Chris, our safari driver and guide. His expertise and passion for wildlife were evident, as he made sure we encountered incredible animals, including the Big Four (unfortunately, no rhinos in sight). Chris’s deep knowledge of the wildlife and the culture added a rich layer to our safari, making it a truly unforgettable experience. In summary, our time in Kenya was nothing short of fantastic, thanks to the dedication and professionalism of Perfect Wilderness. We wholeheartedly recommend their services to anyone planning a trip to Kenya. Thank you for helping create such wonderful family memories!
