Testimonials

If you’re visiting Kenya and want to go on a safari, there is no better company to work with than Safari & Fjell Expeditions! We had a very large group of nearly 30 people on a trip to Kenya, and Safari & Fjell was able to plan and coordinate all the details of our journey. They made our safari experience in Masai Mara and our overall experience throughout Kenya absolutely enjoyable and wonderful! All the accommodations were top-notch and Naqeeb & the rest of his staff were all incredibly professional, extremely knowledgeable, and very friendly. I cannot recommend Safari & Fjell enough. They truly provided a world-class service to us!

As a mother and daughter venturing into Kenya for a safari, we were fully taken care of by Safari & Fjell. We had an expert guide who truly knew Masai Mara like the back of his hand. He took us to the right places and we were able to see so much more than what we had anticipated.
So much depends upon your guide and the vehicle you have on safari. Safari & Fjell made sure no compromises were made. We saw many others that were lost or that had vehicles that were stuck. Our guide was able to help others- he was that level of an expert. Our guide Francis himself is a Masai and he has was very protective of all the animals. He knew the ones that were lost and the ones that were happy. Francis was able to take us to every region and he knew exactly what animals to expect there.
Safari & Fjell were reasonably priced and gave us a complete service of exactly what we wanted. I highly recommend this fantastic safari provider and I can’t thank them enough for this once in a lifetime experience.

It was the first time my brother and I experienced Kenya. The purpose of the trip was first and foremost to visit a child which I sponser with a Norwegian charity called Plan Norway, but besides this we had very few plans. That was before we met Naqeeb, from Safari & Fjell. The week was then quickly filled up with different activities, which in turn gave us many new experiences and feelings. Not only does Naqeeb speak Norwegian which is very reassuring for skeptical Norwegians, but he is wonderfully knowledgeable and an excellent guide.

During the week we were in Nairobi / Kenya, we visited The Giraffe Center, David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, Mount Longonot, Masai Mara and many fine restaurants. The hike up Mount Longonot was just perfect in terms of its duration & difficulty. It was neither too high nor too hot. We also had time to go on a safari in the Masai Mara and what a memorable experience this was. Driving around the endless savannas in the animals’ own territory was very special. We saw all “The Big Five” something we were told was very unusual in that time of year.

As I look back on the trip, I feel a sense of gratitude and an eagerness to return and Safari & Fjell is the reason for this. Everything was very well coordinated and organized for us and we really felt surrounded by care, first class service and love. It’s not hard to understand that I can easily recommend others to use Safari & Fjell if you are planning a trip to Kenya!

My daughter and I booked our visit to Kenya through Safari & Fjell for a 6 days and 5 nights
trip. From the first contact with Naqeeb, we experienced a highly professional and
experienced operator who would promptly reply to any concerns or questions we had. It
was as if we had a tailormade trip to cater for our every need, no matter how big or small it
was. We were extremely happy with such detailed itinerary and the quote for the package
which was very reasonable. There were so many things included in the package that were
planned extremely well by Naqeeb. The service we received was met with everything on
the itinerary to perfection. Our driver Francis was an excellent guide and driver. He drove
us to the Masai Mara for our Safari which was an experience of a life time, he knew exactly
where and how to find the animals, we were also fortunate enough to see Leopards
enjoying their kill up a tree where it would have been impossible to find if not for the expert
knowledge of Francis. The added bonus of staying at Lake Naivasha and the boat ride
including in the package was exceptional. This was the best and most memorable
experience of a life time all made possible by Safari & Fjell, and the kind and courteous
efforts of Naqeeb, who went above and beyond to meet all our expectations and help us
enjoy a stress free and safe journey. Will definitely me using the services again for another
adventure soon.

Naqeeb handled our group perfectly. Our once in a lifetime trip had some hard to navigate pieces and he never skipped a beat. As an American, we saw many things we had never seen before. He made us feel safe and taken care of in order to fully enjoy the experience. I would recommend Safari & Fjell to anyone looking to explore and experience Africa, my family and loved ones included.
Benjamin Knight ( U.S.A)

We had the best Holiday ever. Our safari guides were brilliant. We saw the big five plus much more and learned a lot from our two guides (the fantastic Francis and Francis!) about the animals and the environment. A big thank you also to Naqeeb for the very smooth organization. The lodges were fantastic and our four children had an unforgettable experience.
We certainly hope to do it all again and we highly recommend Safari & Fjell!
Claudia Youngman ( Swiss )

Naqueeb from Safari and Fjell was the most kind and accommodating person I could have asked for when traveling to Kenya. I was a last minute add on to an existing group of 20+ people and he was able to sort everything from food, transportation, housing, weekend events and a three day safari in Maasai Mara for me. He made the trip effortless and created a once in a lifetime experience for me. I definitely recommend booking through Safari and Fjell.
Anna Niemela ( U.S.A)

Safari & Fjell were amazing! Naqueeb and his team are outstanding at accommodating, and making their customers feel comfortable. With their great prices, you cannot ask for better guides around Kenya and the beautiful Masai Mara! What an awesome organization!

Jesse Murdaugh ( U.S.A)

Naqeeb and his team are truly one of a kind. They accommodated for my group of 28 and handled it like professionals. We are from America and definitely expierenced a culture shock but thankfully Naqeeb knew all the right places and activities to do to have the most fun!

 

Andrew Davis ( U.S.A)

Great experience!

Had a great time on the safari. We had a big group and it would not have been possible without Naqeeb. We always had a plan and I feel that we didn’t miss out on any opportunities while in Kenya.

Will Templeton ( U.S.A)

Safari & Fjell delivered a perfect experience for me and my husband: easy to communícate with, experienced guide and so many good tips for things to do in Nairobi. We got so lucky with our game drives in Masai Mara. The close look at the leopard and rhino was the most memorable. 

Mari Askautrud (Norway)

Our stay in Kenya was amazing. We had our own driver who picked us up at the airport and drove us around in Nairobi. We visited the Giraffe Center, David Sheldrick Elephant Orphanage, a nice hike up Mount Longonot and ate at many fine restaurants, including Carnivore and Adega.

After a few days in Nairobi we flew to Masai Mara for a safari. We stayed at the Ashnil Mara Camp, which was absolutely magical. Lovely tents and great food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. We had two game drives where we saw all the animals in Masai Mara, including “The Big Five”.

The entire itinerary setup for our trip in Kenya was perfect, everything from accommodation, transportation, places to visit, to restaurants to eat at. We highly recommend this and it is not the last time we shall visit Kenya.

Tommy Evensen (Norway)

Safari & Fjell arranged our trip to Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and around Nairobi. We were taken good care of and our guide Francis was excellent. We look forward to our next trip!
