WHAT OUR guests SAY

We have always wanted to go on safari, but the timing or the price point was not always right. We had the most amazing family vacation…everyone still thinks it was the best vacation ever. Camili Safaris personalizes the safari to your previous safari experience and takes the time to make it a memorable experience. It was relaxing, truly amazing and breathtaking. For all you busy moms, you don’t need to cook or order food! The guides are extremely knowledgeable. We always felt safe. We felt transported to a different world! We hope to go back again soon! (PS. Photo taken with my really old iPhone 10!)

Our US family went on a safari in Kenya with Camili Safaris in the summer of 2023. This was our second safari and I have to say our experience with Camili far exceeded our expectations! The personalized customer service was phenomenal. From meeting us at the airport on arrival, to handling all the transportation, checking us into our hotels and lodges they made our trip so relaxing. We were allowed to just completely enjoy the safari experience. Couldn’t recommend them any more.

One of the highlights of our family trip to Kenya was, without a doubt, our visit to the Maasai Mara. Camili Safaris did a stellar job! Communication prior to the trip was clear and smooth and extra arrangements were made to ensure the best experience for everyone, including my nephew (one and half years old at the time). The game drives were wonderful and we learned a lot from our guides, both very knowledgeable about the park and its wildlife. An incredible experience that remains a very special memory to us all.
The Delahayes Family (France)April 2023
My experience organized by Camili Safaris (3 nights at Masai Mara) was OUTSTANDING and the experience of a lifetime! There's nothing like being immersed in nature while on safari. Nothing. The landscape, the animals, listening to hippos while falling asleep and more. It was all so special and unforgettable – a true adventure with surprise and wonder – but also with trust and comfort because of Camili’s planning and kind, helpful people like our guide and staff at our accommodations. I highly recommend it. Asante sana!
