The expert for tailor-made safaris in Kenya and Tanzania

Excellent

Excellent safari in the Masai Mara My colleagues and I had a wonderful two-night safari in the Masai Mara organised by Marco Polo. Everything about it was excellent - the hotel pick-up from Shanzu, the flights from Mombasa and back to Mombasa (3 of us) and Ukunda (one of us), and the pick-up from Ukunda airport - all brilliant and on time. Our stay at Fig Tree Camp was superb, out driver Julius was hugely knowledgeable about the animals and a real expert in getting our vehicle into great viewing positions. We saw all 'the big five' and very much more besides. The safari far exceeded our expectations and nothing was too much trouble for Julius or for Fig Tree. We were looking for a mid-range safari option and this was excellent value. We cannot fault it and highly recommend Marco Polo, Mombasa Air Safaris and Fig Tree Camp. Thank you Marco for organising such a great trip for us!

We had an 11 day safari with Marco Polo safaris and it was the best experience. I enquired with many companies before travelling and Marco was great at replying and giving advice on the best way to do such a long safari which included an internal flight and a hot air balloon trip. There is always a worry about making payments in advance but that's where trust is essential and I would not hesitate to use Marco again or to recommend him and his company to anyone. He even booked and arranged our hotel at Diani beach which saved us time and effort. We had 2 drivers for our Safari. Michaeal Kimeu took us on the first half and he was just the best. Michael was a careful and considerate driver, had a great, genuine personality and did everything he could to get us to see the animals. Boniface (Bonnie) was our second driver and he was equally good. He took us to all the beautiful spots and managed to get us to see some amazing sites of lions straight after a kill (not for the faint hearted!). As I said before, I would definitely recommend Marco Polo safaris and I hope you get to see all of the things we saw plus more.

2 days in Tsavo East with all the beautiful small and big friends! I’ve just returned from my second safari with Marco Polo Safaris, and once again it was a truly memorable experience. This time I booked a 2-day safari to Tsavo East, and I traveled alone, which turned out to be the best decision. Going solo meant I could fully focus on the animals I’m most excited about, take my time, and enjoy every moment without rushing.

My guide, Mike, was outstanding. He’s calm, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, but what impressed me most is his eye for wildlife. He notices movement and details in the landscape that most people would completely miss. From the very beginning, it felt like I was with someone who genuinely loves what he does.

The safari kicked off with a spotted owl, and from that moment birds became the highlight of the trip. We spotted an amazing variety: big and small birds, plus many different birds of prey. If you’re a bird lover (or even if you think you aren’t), this experience might convert you.

My absolute favorite memory was seeing mongooses jumping around on a termite mound — it was one of those simple, joyful wildlife moments you don’t forget. And it reminded me of something important: safari isn’t only about ticking off the Big Five. It’s about admiring every creature, from the smallest animals to the iconic ones, and taking in the stunning landscapes that make the whole experience feel special.

A big thank to Marco, as always, who helped me plan the safari ahead of time. The communication was smooth, the advice was helpful, and the patience and support made everything stress-free. And Mike, thank you for the laughs, the great company, and all the incredible sightings (even outside the park!). I’d absolutely recommend Marco Polo Safaris and would happily book again.
