Charles and his team organized an amazing and unforgettable tour for us.
Patrick our guide was an excellent driver and he had good connections in all parks we... read more visited to the other guides, so we got a lot of information where to find the “big 5”. Already after 2 days we saw them all.
Patrick and Charles are very gentle persons and the lodges they have selected for us have been excellent.
We started the trip in Nairobi, then 3 days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, 3 days Ambroseli, Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Patrick dropt us off in Watamu at the Indian Ocean.
We all have been really happy to travel with Patrick and we really can recommend Nature Point Africa, they took perfectly care on us and made Kenya an unforgettable memory.

Charles came about after all failed attempts, therefore, I was very skeptical about... read more who I choose as the time was getting closer. I did my research on Charles and his company and I felt somewhat comfortable. I sent him a message, and what made me really comfortable was the quick response (with an itinerary in place). From the day I made contact with Charles to the time I spent in Africa, he was very consistent and he fulfilled all our request, even the ones which had nothing to do with the Safari. When we arrived in Kenya Charles was at the airport ready and waiting. Charles along with his other colleagues, Kelvin the taxi driver and Patrick the Safari Driver were all amazing. Our trip went well and like I said they were at the beck and call of all our request. Our trip could not have been this amazing without Charles and his crew! I would recommend Charles to anyone who is looking for an African Safari trip. I have no complaints, none at all! Awesome guide, awesome trip!
