What Our Travelers Say
Posted on Désiré GIKOROTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. It was my first time travelling to Kenya and going on an African wildlife safari. Elizabeth from Elwama Tours was very responsive, knowledgeable, friendly, easy to communicate with and could answer all the questions I had as a solo traveller. She arranged a two-night safari tour for me in the beautiful Amboseli National Park, including the transportation from Nairobi to the park and back. She was also able to arrange everything to meet my needs, such as travelling by train from Nairobi to Emali instead of by car. Everything was taken care of and went very smoothly thanks to her tips and planning. I strongly recommend working with Elwama Tours for anyone who wishes to travel in Kenya.Posted on Abdi MohammedTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I recently came to Nairobi on a short business trip and wanted to combine it with some leisure/sightseeing. Once I got in touch with Elizabeth from Elwama Tours, she came across as very professional, experienced and well travelled so quickly understood my requirements. I basically let her build an optimal itiniery (visiting Nairobi National Park and Giraffe centre) according to my schedule and where I was staying and it turned out to be a fantastic experience. I'm looking forward to my next trip where I plan to venture out further and hopefully visit the Masai Mara!Posted on יואב ברנעTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a great experience with Elwama tours. We spent 10 days in Kenya and visited the various national parks. Our tour guide through Elwama was fanstastic. Knew a lot of local information as well as a great guide throughout our trip in the parks. Our trip was professionally tailored to our needs and preferences, and every question and request was kindly addressed.Posted on Ido BuchmanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
