Amboseli, West and East Tsavo - July 2018

Reviewed July 15, 2018

This is a guy who loves his job, is very knowledgeable and totally looks after his clients.

We did a 4 night/5 day safari then a drop off at a Diani beach hotel - Amboseli, West and East Tsavo - 

family of 5 adults

We arranged our trip to Kenya ourselves, choosing to book direct with a local guide rather than use a travel agent.

For our first night we booked an apartment close to the airport, as our safari was starting early the following morning. When we arrived at the apartment Samuel our safari guide had already contacted the owner to confirm our pick up time in the morning.

We started our tour driving to Amboseli, with a game drive on route to our first safari lodge. We stayed in that area 2 nights. Samuel made sure we had an amazing time spotting many animals and birds, the water levels were still quite high and some roads were flooded and closed. Samuel’s knowledge of the parks was amazing, he also had a good eye for spotting animals from a distance. At one point another safari jeep had got stuck, Samuel got his tow ropes to assist also giving advice on how to drive out of the situation. 

We also visited Tsavo West, this area is a lot different, it was very interesting finding out about the geology of the area, especially the Shetani lava fields, again Samuel was very knowledgeable.

Our next stop was Tsavo East, here we saw the ‘red’ elephants that Samuel had told us about and also cheetahs, then the icing on the cake was lions with lion cubs about 3 weeks old.

Finally we had the last morning game drive then drove to Diani Beach. Samuel even gave us a mini tour of Mombasa on the way, stopping off to take photos.

On arriving at our hotel in Diani Beach Samuel gave us his contact number in case we needed anything - he was on his way back home to Nairobi that evening to see his family before starting a new safari. 

Oh boy did we need him again - my son and girlfriend had left their passports and money in the safe in Tsavo East. Samuel contacted the hotel to see if any safari guides were coming down to Diani and could drop them off. He said leave it with him. The following evening Samuel turned up at our beach hotel with passports and money in hand. No one had been coming as far as Diani, only as far as Mombasa, so instead of going home to his family he stayed in Mombasa to personally bring the passports and money to us. For this I can not thank him enough.

We travelled to Kenya on the 23/06/2018 and we arranged a tour with Samuel Munua Hinga on 24/06/2018 who took us on a tour of  Elephant Orphanage, Giraffe Center and National Park in Nairobi. Mr. Samuel i a proffessional guide who has the knowldge Safari tours and the animal kingdom. We were very happy with his services and the price was reseanable priced. 

I will always use his services next time I travelled with my group to Kenya.

P.S. He also took us to the lunch at Canivores in Nairobi where you have the chance to eat all the different type of meats and poultry e.g Ostrich and crocodile meat if you have the guts to eat it.

 We had a great safari with Samuel!  He is an excellent guide and every time we asked something about the animals or nature, he was able to give us answer. He is very friendly and truly likes his jobs.  He is a very good driver, which was good espeacially because the  roads were in bad condition. We visited Amboseli, Tsavo West and Tsavo East national parks and Samuel did everything to spot different animals for us. We really enjoyed our trip and we got to see a lot. Thank you Samuel, our trip was so memorable. We will recommend you to everyone.

Samuel is the best :)

Masai Mara was on my travel list for a long time and Samuel made the trip a memorable one. He is an excellent guide - very friendly and knowlegable. He is one of the very few people I have met who are so passionate about their job. On the last day of our trip, he took a detour to just ensure that we see a rhino, which is quite hard to sight. 

Thank you for creating some lifelong memories, Samuel.
