At Antonio Tours and Safaris, we are passionate about creating unforgettable travel experiences across Kenya and East Africa. Headquartered in Nairobi, Kenya, we have spent years curating exceptional, tailor-made safaris that reflect the unique interests and desires of each traveler. Our reputation is built on a foundation of personalization, high-end service, and unwavering dedication to ensuring that every safari we plan is nothing short of perfect.
Kenya is a land of breathtaking landscapes and vibrant cultures, offering a diverse range of must-see destinations. From the iconic Maasai Mara, where the Great Migration captivates wildlife enthusiasts, to the pristine beaches of Diani with their turquoise waters and coral reefs, every corner of Kenya holds a unique allure. Don’t miss the towering peaks of Mount Kenya for hiking, or the enchanting Amboseli National Park with its picturesque views of elephants against the backdrop of Mount Kilimanjaro. Kenya’s destinations promise unforgettable experiences for every traveler.
Kenya’s beauty is best enjoyed with a few smart travel tips in mind. First, pack light and bring layers—Kenya’s weather varies from the cool highlands to the warm coast. Don’t forget sunscreen and insect repellent, especially for safaris and outdoor adventures. It’s wise to have cash for local markets and small vendors, but credit cards are widely accepted in hotels and restaurants. If you’re on safari, early mornings and late afternoons are ideal for spotting wildlife. Lastly, respect local customs and dress modestly, particularly in rural areas. With these tips, you’ll be set for an unforgettable Kenyan journey!
Unique Safari Experience – The Safari at Masai Mara National Reserve was amazing. Antonio was extremely courteous, very considerate and knowledgeable of the reserve. Highly recommend reserving your experience with Antonio.
















































































































































































































































First, the people: Anthony and Joseph are genuinely warm, happy, and incredibly knowledgeable. Every drive was packed with interesting facts, patient Q&A, and little extras like Swahili words for our son. They also had a brilliant way of making sure everyone felt looked after — constantly checking on the grandparents, offering stops when needed (including toilet breaks), and adjusting the pace so the trip felt smooth and stress-free.
The guiding skill was next level. We watched them track footprints in the dirt, spot tiny distant movement, do a lightning-fast binoculars check to confirm the animal and then calmly (or sometimes hilariously urgently) reposition to get us the best view. If you’ve ever wanted that “we’re in a wildlife documentary” feeling — this was it. They also always gave us as much or as little time as we wanted at each sighting, never rushing us.
Logistics were seamless. They know everyone, so checkpoints and moving around the parks felt effortless. They were also punctual to the minute, waiting outside for the earliest starts — including full-day safaris with picnic lunches — which meant we maximised game time, not admin time.
The Land Cruisers were excellent: clean, comfortable, large viewing windows, and a pop-up roof for standing. The driving felt safe and as smooth as possible (bumps are unavoidable — it’s a safari!) and they clearly knew the quickest and best routes between camps. Best touch: a cooler stocked with ice-cold water, soft drinks and beers, which was perfect after long drives.
Now the moments we’ll never forget. Anthony and Joseph worked tirelessly to help us see everything — not just the Big Five. More than once they’d hear something on the radio and suddenly we’d be racing across the savannah to a sighting — like a scene out of the movie Twister. Because of that constant coordination, we were first on site about 90% of the time for rare moments (lions eating/drinking, rhino groups, elephant mothers and babies), often getting a silent 10 minutes alone before 15+ other vehicles arrived.
We saw countless zebras, giraffes, elephants, rhinos, cheetahs, hippos and lions (including lions with their kills). And the highlight: the leopard. We thought it just wasn’t going to happen — but Anthony and Joseph were adamant. They kept working the radios right up to the final sunset moments of our last drive, and then a leopard in a tree. Absolute magic.
Finally, value. We did a lot of research before booking, and this was amazing value compared with other operators — and even when we chatted with other groups at the camps, we consistently felt our team went that step above. Also worth saying: no hidden upsells, no commission-style tourist stops — just a brilliant safari with clear, prompt communication by email before we arrived.
Book Antonio Safaris if: you’re travelling as a family of all ages, you’re a large group needing multiple vehicles, you’re a first-timer with a camera phone, or you’re a serious wildlife spotter/photographer who wants the best possible positioning, lighting and patience at sightings.
If you can, request Anthony and Joseph — they made this trip unforgettable. Highly, highly recommended.




























































A huge part of what made this experience so special was our guide, Antony. He was exceptionally knowledgeable, professional, and passionate about wildlife. He seemed to know exactly where to take us at the right time, and we were blown away by the amount of wildlife we saw. His insights and stories made each game drive even more meaningful.
Everything was well organized, smooth, and exceeded our expectations from start to finish. We felt well taken care of the entire time and couldn’t have asked for a better safari experience.
I can’t recommend Antonio Safaris enough—if you’re considering a safari in Kenya, this is the company to go with!






























































I would definitely go back and recommend,,,,, special thanks to our driver Anthony who was jovial… read more all time,,we learnt alot
It’s a must go back




























































Our Guide – Robinson: 5/5
Robinson was a standout part of our journey. Warm, funny, and deeply knowledgeable, he made every game drive an adventure. He had this incredible ability to spot wildlife from what felt like miles away and knew exactly where to take us for the best views. He also never made us feel rushed!He also shared insights into animal behavior and Maasai culture, which made the whole experience even richer. We also picked up a few Swahili words along the way!
Wildlife & Scenery: 5/5
We saw the Big Five (yes, even a leopard!), plus cheetahs, hippos, giraffes, and more. Watching elephants wander past the golden savanna during sunset is something we’ll never forget. The sheer openness of the Mara, dotted with many animals, trees and endless skies feels unreal.
Accommodation: 5/5
Neptune Mara Rianta
We stayed in a tented camp with hot showers, delicious meals, and the friendliest staff. The camp felt very secure, and staff always checked in to make sure we were comfortable. Special shoutout to Alfred and Joseph!
Final Thoughts:
If you’re considering a safari as female travelers—do it. And if you can, request Robinson. His passion for the land and wildlife made this feel more like a once-in-a-lifetime journey than a typical vacation. We left the Mara with full hearts, thousands of photos, and a deep respect for the natural world.




























































We found Antonio Safaris online and quickly worked out they were much better value than expensive options in the UK. Five star reviews on Trip Advisor and Safari Bookings reassured us whilst Anthony (another one in the office not our guide) was so quick to respond to our enquiry, put together a package to meet our needs and answer questions. After we booked, he even upgraded one of the lodges at no charge because he could within our budget!
Our guide Anthony was amazing, took care of everything, always offering helpful insights and suggestions, careful driver and his ability to spot animals we couldn’t even see at first was incredible!
The luxury tented camps and lodges were fabulous. Before booking I would have favoured lodges, but now having stayed in them, tented camps win hands down – listening to wildlife, hippos and hyenas at night was out of this world.
There aren’t enough superlatives to describe our amazing safari and we highly recommend Antonio Safaris enough! What a wonderful holiday!




























































In 3 of the parks we had tented accommodation which was so much fun, we had electricity, a fully plumbed en-suite bathroom and even a water chiller but all under canvas – luxury camping in every sense. We went to bed listening to the cacophony of bush sounds including hyenas and hippos – absolutely magical! as were the striking starry skies with no light pollution.
In the Masai Mara we had such an immersive experience as our camp was 1.5 hours drive into the park and we saw giraffe and hyena walk past our table whilst having meals at camp. We had wonderful local Masai Warriors escort us back to our tents and keep us safe.
The game drives were so exciting – never knowing what you would see next. Highlights were close viewing of lions feasting on a carcass, elephant babies playing in the mud surrounded by their families, giraffe nibbling our safari truck ariel and several escorted bush walks where we were permitted.
The food was all included on the trip which ranged from à la carte 3 course options, full varied buffets and several packed lunches for longer game drives. It really was excellent quality – a perfect blend of international dishes and Kenyan specialties, often made from locally grown produce which resulted in the most wonderful flavours.
Every hotel/lodge/camp had a pool which meant we could enjoy a refreshing swim everyday with incredible views and often a passing animal or two.
We travelled as a family of 5 and came back feeling healthy, refreshed, exhilarated and in awe of the beauty we have seen. The brochures can’t do it justice! Highly recommend!
















































































































































































































































































































Our guide and… read more driver was very experienced. He was reliable, friendly and made our long drives comfortable for us.
Overall, our experience with Antonio Safaris and our guide Tonyy exceeded any expectations we had. I would not hesitate to choose them again.








































































































































































































































































































































































Service excellent
Driver very best
On the way back to Nairobi from Masai Mara, there was a truck accident up to 18 km, and… read more that day we had to go to the airport, if only the driver did not know that information, well we would miss the plane,
Because our driver has a lot of friends, he got the information earlier before passing the usual road,
Me and my friend never worry on the way because we have a very smart driver with high initiative,
All my bucketlist to see lion, I got it all,
And their service is really no 1, if I come again to Masai Mara I will certainly use the services of Antonio safaris, and the owner is also very good.




















































































































































































Antonio has a real talent for finding wildlife. We were lucky enough to see all of the Big Five, and not just once, but several times! He was constantly communicating with other guides on the radio and goin off-road all the time to find animal and get us to the best spots.
We spent 3 days in the Masai Mara and 1 day at Lake Nakuru, and honestly, it was just incredible from start to finish. I can’t recommend Antonio enough, he truly made our trip very special.




























































In terms of getting up close to the animals, everything was handled with the utmost care and respect for safety. The comfort of the vehicle was exceptional, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable ride. Antonio’s team provided insightful advice on making the most of the experience, tailored to our needs and preferences. Additionally, they were impressively punctual, making the entire trip seamless and stress-free.
I couldn’t have asked for a better experience—it was perfect in every detail.




























































Everything from logistics to accommodations was top-notch, making this safari well worth the investment. Highly recommend Antonio Safaris for a memorable and responsible safari experience!
