The expert for tailor-made safaris in Kenya and Tanzania

Great experience and customer service We booked here in Kenya, got picked up from the resort and Marco took mich time to explain all options of safaris with lengths, the lodges, the animals likely to see. Really great service! We ended up with a private, tailored safari to our needs and expectations. (Maybe won't work so smooth in peak season). Our guide and driver Ammos was greatly experienced, and very eager to find all like of animals for us. We ended up seeing the big 5! With Marco Polo on a 3 day safari. Greatly recommended

Fantastic safari From the moment we contacted Marco we were impressed with everything. Contact was easy and he tailor made our 3 night safari in Amboseli, Tsavo West and East. The lodges chosen were great and I will write separate reviews on them. He changed the lodge on the last night as the recent reviews of the original lodge on the last night had not been good. Abdul our guide was brilliant collecting us on time from our hotel in Nairobi and driving us to Amboseli for the first day. He was a great guide, pointing out animals that we could not have seen without his expertise. We then went on to Tsavo and the whole time, he was very informative about life in Kenya and the animals. We were dropped at our hotel in Diani at the end. Would definitely recommend Marco Polo and Abdul. We felt the safari was very good value.

Happy Safari trip was great,overnight sleep in Red Elephant lodge.There was really comfortable accomondation with wild animals everywhere arround.It was amazing!Driver was professional and he was very helpfull to show all animals possible.On the end,all what was promissed when we ordered trip was 100% done.Great

Enjoyed the great migration at Masai Mara We did a 5 Days Masai Mara Safari to see the great migration. Our driver Adam was a fine and safe driver who had the perfect hunting instinct for spotting rare animals and sights, a genuine respect for the animals giving them space (meaning not speeding off-road up to a meter of a hunting leopard ousting his prey, like we saw some other drivers doing) while still enabling us to take amazing shots and close up observations. We enjoyed a hot air balloon experience which is an absolute must if you have the possibility, and stayed at the Fig tree which was nice but overpriced. The trip including transfers and domestic flight was well organized and accompanied by Marco Polo Safaris. one minor hiccup where another driver did not show up in time for a transfer was solved in a professional and friendly way.

8 day Safari We did an 8 day safari going through Masi Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Tsavo East. We were picked up from Nairobi airport and then started the Safari, ending on the coast at Diani Beach where we spend a few nights before flying back to Nairobi.
We booked with Marco via their website and confirmed all the details over email and whatsapp. Marco was very helpful and answered all our questions (we also requested a cycle trip at Hells Gate which Marco arranged for us). We paid a 50% deposit by bank transfer and the balance was paid to the driver at the start of the safari in USD cash. The reason for the cash payment is because it is needed to pay the park and lodge fees (this is normal practice).
The safari itself was amazing, we travelled and did the game drives in a large jeep where the roof can be risen allowing you to stand up and get a 360 view of all the animals around you. We saw the big five and many many more animals.
Our driver was called Michael and was wonderful. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals, parks and landscapes. He is also well connected with the other game drivers and they work together to find the animals so you have the best chance of seeing them. We visited 5 different parks which meant a lot of different terrains and weather conditions, Michael knew all the parks well (which is not very common as most drivers only go to 1 or 2 parks). He is also a skilled driver in terms of managing the different weather conditions so we always felt very safe.
The accommodation Marco arranged was all very nice and luxurious (mainly tented camps and lodges), we felt very spoilt!
We went go to Diani Beach Marco also helped us with arranging a snorkeling trip.
I cannot recommend Marco and Michael enough, our safari trip was perfectly organised and such an amazing experience.

We’ve booked safari with Marco to tsavo east and west. Marco was very supportive and organized everything . His driver Michael did everything to make us happy during the trip. Thanks to Michael we was able to see the big 5 and plenty other creatures in the park.

My next safari I will definitely will book again wir Marco. The booked lodges was also a very good choice . All in all it was a great time.
