  A short birding safari in Kenya - We had a week to spend in Kenya and as a birder I wanted to visit a couple of different habitats. Charles was able to accommodate our plans to... read more stay in the forest on Mount Kenya and in the dry bush of Buffalo Springs Nature Reserve. He was quick to respond to any emailed questions and was able to find us an alternative lodge when our original one became unavailable.

John, our driver and guide, was excellent with a great knowledge of the mammals and good knowledge of the birds we encountered. His driving was safe and unexciting (just what I want from an East African driver). We had many interesting discussions comparing Kenyan and Tanzanian culture. The safari car was a fine beast with power points for charging our assorted gadgets.

The only hiccup was on the last day when John didn't realise we were owed lunch. This was sorted out without fuss however and we were fed and delivered back to our Nairobi hotel in good shape. We were collected on time the next morning and dropped at our bus back to Tanzania.

You won't regret booking a safari with Charles and his colleagues at Naturepoint Africa.

  Highly recommend Naturepoint Africa to anyone who would like to safari in Kenya and Tanzania. Since it was two of us. Their tour manager Charles was very... read more patient who helped us to customize the itinerary to meet our needs. And their safari package price was reasonable. Accommodations are above our expectations. All the drivers at Naturepoint Africa were well knowledgeable and incredible. They worked very hard everyday to ensure we had the best possible experience. They went above and beyond to find the big 5 for us within the first 3 days . We saw dozens of lions, cheetah , hyenas, hippos and even a Great migrations of wildebeests crossing the river. Thanks for Naturepoint Africa provided memories for us that we will Cherish for a lifetime.

  Simply the best - Where to start...Just got back from a 17 day journey with the Charles and Patrick that took in a good deal of Kenya. To say it was amazing is... read more by far an understatement. From the time we were met outside of the airport in Nairobi until the time we were dropped off, I could not imagine a better trip than with these 2 guys. Originally we were 2 couples traveling together but at the last minute the other couple had a tragic accident occur so we were alone. We went to so many places, and saw so many wonderful things. I never saw a person work so hard for us. Charles is easy to deal with, was always honest in his approach, and in the couple of times I decided I knew best, I was wrong and he was right. Duh. He took our ideas of what we wanted and worked up a custom itinerary that was amazing. We saw the big 5, the ugly 5, the fantastic 5 and 240 species of birds. We learned bird calls, animal calls and a few words of Kikuyu. We loved every place that Charles gave us. He offered us choices and let us decide on what we wanted. Because it was the 2 of us and we were not crammed up 8 to a bus, we could stop as long as we wanted to to watch a hunt or watch baby lions nurse their mamas. They enjoyed the animals as much as we did and that was so obvious. We wanted to eat some "real" African food and they took us a couple of times to places that they go with their families and the food was excellent. We felt safe, comfortable and at ease with them at all times. It was wonderful to have 2 people there with us rather than just a driver because everyone couple spot for game. That was a Godsend. I did see groups just bypass us while we were looking at the best stuff ever. I was a former travel agent many years ago and I travel a fair amount. This, was spectacular...not just because of the country, which was warm and accepting, but because we started as clients and ended up as friends. I suspect this would happen to most people that he would take out on a safari. I wouldn't change a thing.

  Amazing Experience - One of the best experiences in my life. Charles helped me through the entire planning process and made it very clear on what I could expect once we arrived. He... read more and Patrick were awesome guides and very knowledgeable. I can't say enough great things about them and our safari. I look forward to booking with this company again in the future.
