“Companion02258076078 - Maasai Mara Wildlife Safari Experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Oct 2025

I had an absolutely fantastic time with Wild Springs Adventures during our Maasai Mara safari in Kenya. This was my first safari with them, and they completely exceeded my expectations. From the smooth organization by the management to the comfortable safari vehicle, excellent driver, and overall coordination of the trip. Timo, who handled our booking, was very professional and attentive. He called us daily to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying ourselves. That level of care and communication made a huge difference and gave us full confidence in the team.
Our driver and guide, Jeremiah, had an amazing personality, was genuinely friendly, respectful, and incredibly knowledgeable about the wildlife and ecosystem of the Maasai Mara. Thanks to him, we not only enjoyed unforgettable game drives but also learned so much about Kenya’s animals and culture. We felt completely safe and well taken care of throughout the journey. If you’re looking for a reliable, licensed safari company in Kenya that delivers personalized, professional, and truly memorable safari experiences, I highly recommend Wild Springs Adventures. They made our trip exceptional!

Awe-inspiring Kenya Safari!! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Apr 2025 • Friends

AMAZING safari experience!! We saw SO many animals. The vans converted from open air to closed so if rains came we stayed dry. We saw white and black rhinos, giraffes, lions, Cape buffalo, hyenas, baboons, elephants, numerous gazelles and impalas, two different species of zebras, and birds galore. Be prepared for a bumpy ride but the drivers are careful. I highly recommend!
