Brian S2025-08-09Verified Exceptional This was the best trip we have ever been on and it was all down to Good Secrets Safari. From my initial conversations with Elsy to the day we left, everything was exceptional. Elsy, was who we dealt with prior to and during our tour and she is absolutely amazing at her job. She helped tailor our trip exactly to our needs while also providing her expert advice. Accommodation, places to visit, restaurants she advised on everything expertly and it was all amazing! The accommodation in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naveisha all made the experience feel like you were in Tarzan. Any questions we had she was able to answer. She genuinely could not have been more helpful so a huge thank you to her!Fred was our tour guide who drove us around in a beautiful Land Cruiser. Again, he is another expert at his job. He was so knowledgable, constantly sharing facts and pieces of history on Kenya with us. When it came to spotting the animals, he was incredible. We saw everything we could have dreamed of and more. Such a nice guy, it was a pleasure to do the trip with him. Thank you Fred.Solomon met us at the airport on the first day with Elsy and Fred and was so welcoming. The trip to the Masai Village was a highlight for me. Very cool experience. As a whole, the trip was just incredible. Kenya is such a beautiful green country with lovely people and amazing wildlife. I will definitely be back and will definitely be using Good Secret Safaris again. I cannot recommend them enough. Sarah G2025-08-09Verified Safari at Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. I cannot say enough good things about Good Secrets Safaris. They went above and beyond to make this trip for me and my partner the best trip we could’ve possibly had. We were greeted with smiles at the airport, and met our driver Fred, who was a pleasure to be with over the 5 days. All of the accommodation that was booked for us was 10/10, the food and hospitality like no other. They are extremely flexible, if there is a certain area/ hotel that you want to visit they will factor it in for you and you do not have to do a thing. They were a dream to work with. Elsy was AMAZING, and made sure we were happy with everything the entire trip. If you are thinking of booking a Safari, I HIGHLYY recommend Good Secrets. We had the trip of a lifetime, thank you so much Good Safari Secrets. Samson T2025-07-04Verified Adventure and a bonding time with my friends We laugh for most of the journey, the guide is that entertaining. We took lots of photos. Made friends and enjoy the trip.
