Incredible trip organised by Apex Photo Safaris! I initially spoke to them about a trip to Amboseli and they were super helpful. They told me not to worry about a single thing and they would get back to me with the best rates for the lodges in the category we were looking at. I was surprised to hear back from them within a couple of hours with the rates. However, they went above and beyond by explaining the benefits of each lodge and really helped us make our decision to stay at Satao Elerai which was an incredible camp.
They were able to get us a very competitive rate. A better rate than what other tour operators were able to offer so I would definitely reach out to Apex Photo Safaris to get competitive rates
I was very impressed when they reached out to me on our second day asking if we were satisfied with the camp and the service being provided. I have never been asked by an tour operator about my stay during my trip and I have to credit to the team. They were incredible and I'm definitely looking forward to booking my next trip through Apex Photo Safaris!
Thank you so much!

This was our first excursion to Northern Kenya (Samburu). We booked our safari with Apex Photo Safaris and Aatish & Aashit couldn’t have done a better job organizing the trip. The accommodation and overall safari experience was excellent. Our guide (Martin) was extremely knowledgeable and provided us with a wealth of information, not only in terms of game viewing but also the geography and history of the area. Highly recommend the boys and Apex Photo Safaris and we cannot wait for our next adventure!!

Firstly Bharat - was extremely helpful in organising and helping to accommodate our trips needs to suit out ternary. Extremely attentive prior, during and after our trip to make sure things went well.
Ashnil Mara camp - was an excellent recommendation, great luxury tented camps by the river, lovely complex and for a decent price. Selection of food at the buffet was wide ranging and absolutely delicious. Most tender steak I have had. The staff were all extremely friendly and the massage in the tent in the Mara was heavenly.
Our driver - spoke full English, was educational and a great laugh. He ensured we got the most out of our drive time as we were only there for 2.5 days. The vehicle was a minibus type, which was slightly old and rickety and made for a very bumpy drive, so would suggest a 4 x 4 next time for more comfort and ease of viewing.
We went in late November and sadly had very heavy rainstorms and thunder each evening, and which made some of the drives difficult but we still got to see the amazing landscape, lots of animals (only missed out on the rhino and leopard) and were taken to some quieter view spots to enjoy the animals in peace.
Overall a fabulous introduction to my first safari and would definitely recommend this company for attentiveness, support and affordability.

What an amazing two week holiday we have had. Apex Photo Safaris organised the complete itinerary for us and chose four very different camps for us to stay at during our time in Kenya - giving us a true overall experience of this beautiful country and the opportunity to see all the animals we had hoped to see. We had the best time.
All internal flights and transfers were organised by them and we had a lovely driver, Martin, who ferried us between some of the camps and did the game drives too - again organised by Apex Photo Safaris. This just left us to enjoy the whole experience.
We finished the holiday at the beach near Mombasa, again all organised by Apex Photo Safaris who chose another great place to stay, where we had the opportunity of seeing turtles hatch.
We would highly recommend anyone to use this company when planning a safari. They always responded promptly to any questions we had. Their local knowledge and expertise will ensure you get the holiday of a lifetime.

We have done a couple of holidays with Apex .
I will start with the recent safari in the Masai Mara ..
They had designated one of their best driver/guide (Martin), who knew the Mara inside-out.
The Land cruiser was in pristine condition with all the necessities required for the long journey and the hours spent in park.
We were booked at the Sand River but due to some unavoidable circumstances the camp had to close down.
Apex managed to get us a last minute booking at Mara Bush Camp which turned out to be a fantastic camp, from the rooms, food, views and service.
Being a strict vegetarian with gluten and dairy intolerances, Apex had made sure in advance that all this was catered for.
They also managed to get us out full credit from Sand River, who were being difficult on reimbursing us the full amount.
In December 2020 we had a booked Saruni Lodge in Samburu through Apex as well.
It was my daughter’s 16th birthday and I must say we had a fabulous stay and Apex had organized a separate Villa (at no cost !) for the birthday girl.
In August 2019 we had a family holiday with my brother and his family from the USA.
Apex had organized a wonderful stay at the Kole Kole Beach resort from start to end.
In December 2016 we wanted to go Laikipia but had no clue where to go.
Apex had suggested Loisaba tented camp and Loisaba star beds.
Both properties were stunning and sleeping under the stars was an experience we will never forget.
I would definitely recommend using Apex for all your holidays & safaris !!

Been on many many trips organised by the twins from Apex Photo Safaris over the last 5 years (beach and Safari). I must say that the trips have been so meticulously organised, they go the extra mile to make sure all your demands are met. The accommodation they book is alway amazing and cater for our needs and the boys always check in on us to make sure things are perfect while on holiday! Highly recommend them to plan your holidays 😊

It was an experience I will never forget! From the onset of planning, Aatish and Aashit were responsive, communicative, and thoughtful in every detail. Both are highly knowledgeable guides - understanding the nuances of the animals, tracking them, and providing photography lessons/tips. We were fortunate to see all the indigenous cats!
The lodging they selected were beautiful with excellent service. They were accommodating to our special requests and made sure that all the arrangements went smoothly. Thank you Apex team for making my first safari in Africa amazing!!

We did a customized 12 night Kenya and Tanzania safari tour arranged by Apex Photo Safaris Ltd . It included two lodge stays ( at Amboseli Serena Lodge and Ngorongoro Serena Lodge.) and two stays at tented camps (Lemala Ndutu Camp and Mara Bush Camp).
Game drives were included for all of the safari days.
All of the needed transfers and air travel by scheduled bush airplanes were also included. Apex staff picked us up at NBO when we landed and displayed a placard for us. They also dropped us off to catch our return flight back to the US.
Communications with Apex were always very clear. Apex always replied promptly tour questions and readily provided needed information via email. They were easy to contact even when we were on our safari. Details provided by them as to included and excluded items were accurate; no surprises were encountered.
We were very successful in seeing and capturing on photo all of the available wildlife inlcuding "the big 5". Food and conveniences at the lodging places were very luxurious and hit the mark. The guides/drivers were very knowledgable and considerate and helpful. Special mention to Martin.
Overall, Apex is highly recommended.

We had a flawless experience with Apex Photo safaris, this was the third occasion using them.
From the moment we booked, to the point we left, they were always at hand to ensure everything was running smoothly and any questions were promptly responded to.
Needless to say, we can’t wait to book our fourth Safari!
