Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The safari was excellent - we saw so much! Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable.
We booked the most basic accommodation and on reflection wish we had upgraded. Whilst the camp was clean, with friendly staff and our tent was comfortable it wasn’t very scenic, there was no wifi and limited food options.
The safari itself was only 1.5 days. On the 3rd day you have an option of going to a Masai Village or a balloon trip for an extra cost.

We went on a 3 day Masai Mara safari from Nairobi with Pullman's Tours and Safaris en route to the Serengeti in Tanzania. Our driver / guide Bryson was with us all the time from picking us up at the hotel in Nairobi to delivering us (and seeing us on the plane) at the airship in the Masai Mara. Bryson was a very safe driver, friendly, spoke English very well and was extremely helpful and considerate particularly when driving slowly over the dirt bumpy roads in the Masai Mara. We had a great time and Bryson knew where to go to see the wildlife close up. I would recommend that you have a vehicle of your own (though more expensive) as you get a better experience without having to share

Pro
- The driver I had was amazing. He knows all the spots and makes the journey smooth
- Their written communication via email is good. They always reply within a few hours
- You can basically join any time, no need to reserve a week in advance
Con
- I’ve found the in-person communication to be not sincere, as I got overcharged in person and it feels like they’d take any opportunity to earn extra money from me
- The agenda includes fixed time at shopping area, and people can easily feel forced to buy things
- Food may not be included in the package

Paul did such an amazing job organizing our trip. Our driver Charles also did an amazing job taking us to the best spots to see lions, hyenas, cheetahs, hippos, crocodiles and more. We got to see 17 lions close up beside our jeep which was extremely crazy! I could not be more pleased with our accommodations as well. I highly recommend anyone to do this!

Paul, the organizer for this trip has been amazing. He was extremely responsive and helpful throughout the months before we arrived in Nairobi. He set us up in a beautiful camp, where the service was excellent and food was delicious. Our main driver and guide, Charles, was awesome - punctual and knowledgeable on where to go in the park. We saw some amazing wildlife, something out of a movie!! I cannot thank Simba Para Safaris enough!

Simba Paka Tours was simply amazing!! Throughout the planning process, Paul, the owner was on point. He answered all questions and in a timely manner. He even answered when I mistakenly didn’t consider the time difference. He also assisted us with picking out a package that worked well for us. Our guide, Daniel, made sure we saw every animal and was informative, and personable. He drove safely and was prompt when picking us up for the day. He was wonderful!!

Outstanding experience. Paul went above and beyond to help and accommodate as well as answer all the questions I had and made me feel very welcome and cared for. Our driver and tour guide was Fred. He really took great care of us during our time in the Mara and did his best to make sure we had a great experience. We saw all the animals our heart desired. Many many many elephants and about nine or so lions among other wild life. Our stay was at a mid range lodge Enkorak. The food was really great and the service so wonderful. Staff were extra caring towards my son. I highly recommend this service.

I was planing to go to Masai Mara which was on my Bucket list for long. We planned on our own and started contacting Kenyan travel advisor and selected Sama Paka Safaris and contacted Mr Paul Kariuki from Mumbai who planned our itinerary and it was a great help . We stayed in Mara Chui Camp in Masai Mara for 3 days and really enjoyed the hospitality. The cottage was good and our stay was very comfortable. The food was excellent and the breakfast spread was not limited .

My family and I (including two daughters aged 12 and 8) have recently returned from an excellent Maasai Mara safari experience with Simba Paka. We stayed at Enkorok Camp which was perfect as a mid-range tented camp, with very good food, attentive service and a reassuring security presence round the clock. Our guide and driver was Francis, who took excellent care of us and made sure we had close sightings of a very wide range of animals. We saw all of the “big five” apart from rhino…but this was made up for by a sighting of a serval cat which is extremely rare. Paul, the owner of Simba Paka, was also responsive and reliable throughout. All in all an experience to be recommended. We plan to come back!

Paul is the best person to organize your personalized safari. He takes care of everything: transports, accommodation, game drives and meals. We have been 2 nights in Masai Mara, 1 in Amboseli, visited Masai village and the whole trip has been amazing, you don't have to worry about anything. I strongly recommend to contact him because it's the best way to enjoy the special wildlife of this country
