Paul B16 February 2025 First class care - and a lifetime of memories Huge thanks for the excellent service from the Gamewatchers team during our recent visit to Kenya. The team in Nairobi were fantastic from the airport pick up, through to showing us various sites in the city.We were also extremely impressed with booking our safari through Gamewatchers. The team made excellent (and practical) suggestions for our trip, and were truly spoilt by an incredible time and safari at Ol Seki Hemingways. Asante sana to you all! Koen H14 February 2025 Prime Game Sightings! Our trip has been absolutely brilliant. The whole experience was top quality and very enriching. We had prime sightings of all kinds of animal behaviour and scenes. The Masai guides are extremely knowledgeable, friendly and fun. The staff in the camps are amazing, the level of hospitality is very high. And the meals are top cuisine!As you can read above, we have been treated so well and spoiled with a cherry on top :-)If we come back to Africa, we will definitely book with Game Watchers again.Congratulations to the whole team for making this an unforgettable experience for us RaS14 February 2025 Amazing 18 day private Safari in Kenya Rick McIntyre curated a wonderful 18 day Safari in Kenya (Amboseli, Lewa, Meru National Park, Ol Pejeta and Mara North) for my wife and I in January. The properties he selected were wonderful and the game drives were exceptional. Gamewatchers delivered above and beyond our expectations and everything from initial contact to final return went seamlessly. Gamewatchers service and support are simply amazing and we would not hesitate working with them on other African Safari's for us in the future. lovesthesun-713 February 2025 Wonderful Safari Experience - Book with Gamewatchers! Just recently returned from a 10 night safari booked with Gamewatchers (our contact Rick McIntyre). This was our 2nd trip to Kenya, but the first with Gamewatchers who were recommended to us by friends who did their first safari a year ago. We were absolutely delighted with this company from start to finish. Rick was easy to reach and always answered our questions in a timely manner. The care and service from the moment we arrived in Nairobi until we were delivered back to the international airport was stellar. Every detail taken care of, caring and helpful staff on the ground, all schedules met, etc. We stayed at 3 different camps (Rhino, Giraffe and Cheetah), and have written individual reviews for each of them. The camps were wonderful as were the staff and guides at each of them. We saw amazing animals - and although we had seen probably most of them 12 years ago, people are right when they say that each time you return you see different things, or behaviours, etc. Would absolutely recommend using Gamewatchers Safaris! davidandchristine76711 February 2025 Simply the best. Our fourth safari with Gamewatchers, and hopefully it will not be our last. We love the sheer professionalism of this company. Sooner or later something will go wrong on safari, when it does they sort it out calmly and efficiently. Mostly they operate in the Conservancies adjoining National Parks, which means you see far fewer other vehicles and often have the sights to yourselves.One of our favourite highlights is the bush breakfast, carried with the vehicle and often enjoyed whilst watching game having their own meals. We saw all the big 5, including leopard twice. We also saw hyenas steal a lion's kill, and a myriad of birds. Would we recommend Gamewatchers to others? Wholeheartedly, from the first enquiry to Wayne Hammond to the time they dropped us off at the airport for the journey home we were well looked-after, and could not have asked for better. Kristen Barnett2 February 2025 An exceptional African safari experience. I highly recommend Gamewathers Safaris for anyone seeking an exceptional African safari experience. Having recently utilized their company for a trip to Kenya, I can confidently say that they exceeded all my expectations. The accommdations and transportation arranged by them were topnotch ensuring a comfortable and enjoyable journey. I cannot wait to plan my next trip with them. johnbarnhardt27 January 2025 Dream Trip! Incredible!! I traveled with my father (70), brother (38) and uncle (60) - it was 5 out 5 stars every minute of the trip. The accommodations were perfect, the staff incredibly accommodating and the guides second to none. It is clear that Gamewatchers invests in their guides - knowledgeable, professional, service oriented, and conservation experts. We will be calling Rick again soon, we cannot wait to come back again! briflows11 January 2025 Porini Mara Safari with Gamewatchers My fiance and I stayed at the Porini Mara Camp for 3 nights. When we began the process months earlier, Wayne Hammond was our guiding light from day 1. He is very responsive, detailed and knowledgable. Once onsite, Joseph and the staff were attentive and friendly. The food was excellent! Our driver/guides, Wilson and Marima, were fun experts and were so in-tune that we were afforded an excellent leopard sighting! It's important to remember you might not see everything you came for, but I think a 3-night stay for our first safari got us hooked! Lisa W28 December 2024 A long awaited dream come true. I booked my trip through Gamewatchers in Queensland and Kristy organised everything for me. She was always available to me, even when I was in Kenya a my flight needed readjusting. I have nothing but praise for this group. I ave travelled to Africa on a few occasions and it usually takes quite a bit of research etc. No I have discovered Gamewatchers all I have to do now is work out when to go.
