Reviews of Mara Triangle safaris

A weekend trip to the rift valley courtesy of Mara Triangle Safaris

It was late January 2018 when my friend and i reached out to Mara triangle safaris for the facilitation of a 3 day weekend trip to the rift valley which entailed a night in naivasha and a night in nakuru. Mara triangle safaris then worked with the dates we offered them which was from Friday 2nd August 2018 to 4th August 2018. We thank the Mara triangle safaris fraternity since they booked for us best hotels which ended up to cost less than even what we budgeted for. The company catered for us very affordable transport with a Land Cruiser tour van and the first night in Naivasha country club hotel where in naivasha we toured several places and later on left for nakuru national park and a night in the flamingo resort Nakuru. We look forward to again contact mara triangle for our next trip soon. Good work Mara triangle keep up

Punctual, prompt and friendly

We booked a 6 day safari with Mara Triangle Safaris, staying at Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara national parks. Each park was quite distinct from the other, and accommodation was spacious, clean and comfortable. To best describe them, imagine the tent at the Quidditch match in Harry Potter. Much larger and more luxurious than it appears from the outside. Meals at each location were plentiful and delicious. At Amboseli resort, Kibo Safari Camp the food was the best. Lake Nakuru Lodge had the best coffee, and at Zebra Plains Mara Camp there were 2 comfortable fire pits for cooler evenings, and pleasant views of passing antelope, zebra and giraffe from the dining area. Lions and Hyena could also be heard at night in the last two camps. As you are seeing game in its natural habitat, there is no guarantee that you will see all the animals you hope for, but we were lucky to see everything we hoped for, including the Big 5. On our first evening game drive in Masai Mara we saw 11 lions at a fresh buffalo kill, a cheetah and a leopard all within an hour. Our guide, Francis, has 15 years experience, and had an excellent knowledge of each park. On 2 occasions he somehow positioned us perfectly for the appearance of a pride of lions, allowing us to get some fantastic, close-up shots. I have no hesitations in recommending Mara Triangle Safaris for a safe, comfortable and fascinating exposure to African wildlife

Dream trip

I wanted to leave a recommendation for Mara Triangle Safari. We spent in total 6 days in Kenya - 2 in Mara, 2 in Lake Nakuru and the other two in Ukunda enjoying the paradise beaches in the area. The organization was excellent, our guide, Ken, did his best so we could see all the savage animals (we managed to see the big 5) and he always accommodated all our requests (we will miss him so much). The accommodations were excellent, much better than we expected and the person with whom we booked the trip, Lucy, was checking on us during the trip to ensure that we were happy and enjoying. Thank to Ken and Lucy we didn't worry about anything except enjoying this amazing trip. We have no doubts that whenever we go back to Kenya it will be with them again.

Great operator, fantastic guide and amazing memories

Mara Tirangle Safaris staff where most helpful, both planning the trip and during the trip when some of the group members had flight problems, and did not arrive as planned. Mara Triangles Safari had no problem to organize an new pickup at airport at a later time. David, our driver and guide, was very friendly and had a lot of knowledge about animals and where to find them. We had good talks all the way, and we learned a lot about the life in Kenya and the parks we visited. We experienced all the Big 5, and a lot of other different animals. It was just amazing, and we had an amazing time.

Safari trip of a lifetime to see the best of Kenya and Tanzania

The 11 night tour that Lucy organised for us through Kenya and Tanzania was amazing. We had the most wonderful time and the amount of wildlife we saw was incredible with some rare viewings of big cats hunting etc and thousands of other animals. We saw the big 5 within 2 days and many more times after that too. We visited Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Masai Mara, Lake Victoria, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Tarangire and Amboselli. The itinerary was perfect, we were driving for long periods most days with early morning starts and picnic lunches but we knew about that in advance from the itinerary so it wasn't a problem. We really wanted to maximise our time in the parks seeing the wildlife for photography which we definitely achieved with our busy itinerary. Overall we preferred driving in Kenya to Tanzania as it was at a more relaxed pace. Because of the longer distances to be covered each day in Tanzania some of the driving was faster on very bumpy roads and tracks, some people may prefer a slower pace and a shorter itinerary because of this. Both of our driver guides Kim in Kenya and Geovanni in Tanzania were excellent, very friendly, gave us lots of interesting information and knew where to take us for the best game viewing. We saw such fantastic sights in both countries we could not really pick a favourite, there were so many highlights every day. The accommodation and food standards varied with the lodges being more luxurious than tented camps but we enjoyed the experience of staying at all of them. For us the best rooms and surroundings were at Marera Mountain View Lodge which was such a beautiful place to stay but all the others were of a good to very good standard. Staff everywhere are very helpful and friendly and the food is plentiful with a good variety. Lucy's help and advice planning our excellent trip of a lifetime was greatly appreciated. Philomena was also great meeting us at Nairobi airport on arrival late at night and joining us for the drive back at the end of our trip. We highly recommend Mara Triangle to anybody who may be thinking of an African safari holiday in future.

Helpful

My friend and I wanted to book a Kenya/Tanzania safari tour. Lucy from Mara Triangle Safari was very helpful, super responsive and worked with us to create a great itinerary. Lucy took her time to tailor the initinerary based on our requirements. She was friendly and patient. Unfortunately, we were unable to go ahead with the booking. However, I recommend Lucy and with Mara Triangle Safari for their stellar service and dilligence.

Best Safari Tour company in Kenya

We had an excellent 8 days in Kenya. Visted Amboseli and stayed at Oliepo, then flew to Masai Mara and stayed at Ilkeliani Mara Camp. Charley was our tour guide and he has to be the best tour guide in Kenya. Really nice guy. Relaible, knew just where to go to get the best views of the animals. The staff at Oliepo were very accomodating and delivered service beyond expectations. At Ilkeliani the lodge, the accomodation, food and service was better than most hotels I've stayed in around the world. Right on the Masai Mara reserve, either back for lunch or a spectacular picnic during the day. Mara Triangle Safaris were well organised. Kept us informed. Truely exceptional experience.

Awesome experience

This week we went on the 6 days budget Safari tour with Mara Triangle, visiting Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboselli. With his big smile, positive energy and a talent to each time find the right spot to watch the wildlife, our driver and guide Bonnie made it an awesome experience (Asante Sana Bonnie!!). We were also very lucky to see many animals, including many baby animals like a baby rhino and baby lions! The accommodation and food was all well arranged, including for those of us who are vegan and vegetarian. Not only the tour itself was a positive experience, but also the contact with Mara Triangle prior to the safari was very positive. Whenever we had any questions, they were always quick to reply.

The tour operator was helpful and responsive

My friends and I did a 6 day safari from Ambesoli to Lake Nakuru to Maasai Mara. The communication in booking was timely and all questions that came up as the safari was coming up were responded to quickly. We were provided with an excellent tour guide driver. The driver had an incredible depth of knowledge that he shared in a delightful way as you learn about the areas and the animals. He managed to get the land cruiser in good locations to get great views and pictures of all sorts of different animals. The lodging was all in properties with incredible views and wonderful helpful staff. My friends and I had a great experience.

Incredible safari with Mara Triangle

Lucy with Mara Triangle Safaris planned an incredible 17-day safari and beach trip for me and my husband at a very reasonable price! Lucy was so helpful in answering our many questions and handling all of the details. In every respect (including our guide Kevin, accommodations, animal sightings, ease of travel), it was well beyond what we could’ve hoped for. I highly recommend Mara Triangle and would certainly book with them again.

Great experience

We did the Tanzania and Kenya Safari with Mara Triangle Safaris. We had two guides, one for each country and both were great. We saw the big five and learned a lot of new things about animals. They were both excelent drivers and took care of us all the way. We definitely recommend them.
