What our clients say...

Our clients include families with children, and CEO’s of leading companies.







Our trip to Africa was one of the few life changing experiences I have had in my life. The natural beauty my family and I witnessed was something that will be burned into my consciousness for the rest of my life.

My first trip to Africa was with John Niva as our guide, as was our second, and every other trip we take will be as well. His experience, knowledge and personality is truly first class, and makes the experience one of a kind.

"As a travel agent (www.tour-travel-organizers.travel) it is important for me to be assured that my clients have only the best experiences on the trips I set up for them. This is also important to me personally when I travel. I was lucky enough that the very first time I traveled to Kenya my tour guide was John Niva. He made my Kenya experience one of the most memorable personal trips I had taken to date. Since then I have been back to Kenya multiple times and always with John Niva. Quite frankly it does not make sense for me to use anyone else. When you have the best you can be assured you will have happy clients and will rebook with you.
I also publish a travel magazine (www.worldtravelernews.com) where you can see John and some of the trips I have been in Kenya with him as my tour guide.

John is personable, extremely knowledgeable, and caring - what more can you ask for in a tour guide.

"John Niva is an incredible safari guide who not only is an expert in wildlife, but also provides incredible customer service to his clients. His attention to detail will provide you a trip that will allow you to relax instead of worry. His smile and personality will make the trip seem like you are taking a trip with one of your friends. From the time you start planning the trip with John until the time you leave, John is in communication with you and ready to answer any question you have. I would highly recommend John Niva as a professional safari guide."

"My husband, two children (then 9 and 11) and my in-laws took a “once in a lifetime” trip to Kenya in March of 2008. John Niva was our guide during our time there. From the minute he picked us up at the airport, he was welcoming, kind, and always had a sense of humor. All transitions during the trip were seamless even though we knew John had to pull some strings behind the scenes. He always made us feel comfortable - we felt as if were in very good hands. John had the perfect temperament to be our constant guide and companion during our stay.

He was very perceptive and was able to give us just enough family/private time to make us comfortable. We had many lively conversations during mealtimes and got to know him pretty well. We still keep in touch with John and would highly recommend him as a guide for his service, passion and knowledge about Kenya. We look forward to him guiding us in Africa in the future.
