What Our Customers Say About Us!
Sarah, F, uk
Wonderful 6 day private tour of 3 quite different parks in Kenya organised by Nelson. We started at the Masai Mara for two nights where we saw a huge variety of animals, then onto Lake Nakuru which was great for birds and white rhinos. Lastly we went to Amboseli for hundreds of elephants in particular against the stunning back drop of Mt Kilimanjaro. Our guide throughout, Alfred, was incredibly experienced and sought out the best viewing points throughout. The Sopa Lodges we stayed in were so welcoming and we had some amazing views from our rooms, including having Zebras grazing right outside one evening. Nelson was great in advising where we should go. We opted for a private tour, whilst more expensive, we did like having the jeep to ourselves and having a bit more flexibility and space which we appreciated given it was a bit of a lifetime experience. I would totally recommend Nelson to organise your tour. We were booking from the UK and wanted to go direct to an operator on the ground. I knew Nelson from a business contact and totally trusted him to look after us. Book Emnel with confidence!

We had a great experience on our 3 day safari. We want to thank our guide Gabriel who was so kind and did everything for us to have the best time. We didn’t get the chance to meet Nelson but we appreciate his patience with us before the trip with our many questions. We would definitely recommend Emnel adventures, they truly care for their guests. Thank you so much, we couldn’t have asked for a better safari! / Dilan, Ceren & Shirin from Stockholm

I hope this review really articulates how incredibly impressed we were with Emnel Adventures and the experience they created for us. After contacting a few Safari companies, we quickly realised that Emnel was the company for us. Right from the start, Nelson (our travel consultant) was quick to respond with answers for my many questions. We presented him with an overview of what we wanted to do, but it was Nelson's knowledge and guidance regarding locations and accommodation which really pulled the itinerary together. He worked really hard to put together a trip which suited us as a family of 4. The safari itself was incredible - we were extremely lucky to see just about everything we wanted to see, including TWO wildebeest river crossings. With a private vehicle, we were comfortable and well provided for throughout the trip. The selected accommodations were beautiful and considering the isolated locations, the food was fantastic. We were provided with full board and despite being a set menu, the choices were refined, well judged and excellent quality. My 12 and 14 year old sons certainly had no complaints! A real highlight was the lovely surprise arranged for us on Day 1 of the safari. It was our Wedding Anniversary and whilst we were perfectly happy with the proposed packed lunch, we were instead presented with a fully catered 3 course meal with silver service and wine. It was a wonderful surprise when we pulled up at an amazing viewing point to find a huge team of staff (including a visit from Nelson!) ready to greet and serve us. Very special! Gabriel the guide was extremely knowledgeable and made sure we saw everything! He was also a lot of fun, with a great sense of humour and this was great for our boys - they interacted really well and Gabriel's passion really kept them interested. I would 100% recommend the team to anyone. In fact, I hope we get to use them again in the not too distant future. Thank you Team Emnel.

Just coming back from a 5-day safari booked with Emnel Adventures. It was a mind blowing experience all through. Booking experience very individualized have done also research and suggested things and Nelson who is handling the travel proposals allways very nice and took my input into account. If he thought something else better he told me. Allways had feeling that he wants the best experience According to my wishes. I changed mind / dates etc several times he allways stayed calm and changed travel accordingly. The safari was absolutely exceeding expectations. Already the welcome at the airport with 3 men and nice table / coffee / tea and snacks to introduce the tour. Nelson was there for the welcome and my tour guide Rahim and as a surprise my personal photographer Abisae. I went then on 5 days trip / 4 nights on safari with Rahim and Abisae. Rahim studied tourism and has an education in safari tours and 20 years experience and this you feel he know everything on animals why an animal looks like it looks, how close. I felt like a princess both very attentive lunches in nice sceneries great with beers and wines offered. Other groups had lunch boxes we a really meal in comfy chairs. Hotels perfect as expected. Was quite sad after the 5 days to leave the 2 guys. The safari for me Was every penny worth it and you need to feel yourself how it feels and I can 100% recommend Emnel Adventures with Nelson and my Tour guide Rahim and Abisae. Was all perfect experience. Usually I do not write TripAdvisor reviews. But this experience was so good that I would like also that others can do these experiences as well.

The whole experience was amazing! The organization was perfect, the lodge incredible and the guide great. Indeed, Gabriel's advice and suggestions were always very accurate and professional. These will have allowed me to see the Big 5 during the Safari (Lion, Buffalo, Rhinoceros, Leopard and Elephants). The booked lodge were amazing! Food was great ! Peoples so carefull. Thank you very much Nelson for the organization, the help, the professionalism and this unique experience! I highly recommend Emnel.

Couldn’t have gone better. First safari for us, my brother and a friend of mine, it was well organized, we had an amazing tour guid and an excellent photographer with us. Luck was on our side, as we saw almost everything in abondance. The food was really good and the lodge were 💯. Only down side was the camping lodge in Ngorogoro the last day, which I recommend to go to an other place ! But other then that, don’t hesitate ! (Ask for Beatus for Guide )
