I started planning in January of 24 for a once in lifetime adventure trip to Kenya in August. I connected with 3 operators but Paul was the only one who truly accommodated to my custom plans. There were changes over time in the original trip and Paul quickly changed and reverted for those to my needs. My trip was a 5 day solo, private tour covering Nairobi - Naivasha - Nakuru - Masai Mara - Nairobi and I wanted to have a plan which was not rushed at any point. This was a photography trip and I wanted the guide to be knowledgable and accommodating to stop where needed for whatever time needed. The payments were smooth and reliable. I felt that for small things like adding a boat trip at Naivasha instead of hells gate tour, Paul was accommodating and understanding. I wanted booking done in luxury resorts like Lake Nakuru Lodge and Muthu Keekorok and Paul arranged that as per needs and where it was not possible he allowed flexibility for me to book myself while adjusting the overall pricing. The 4x4 was well equipped with water, power and other needs and in a well maintained condition. Towards the close to start he introduced me to the Guide "Charles Mutai" who I had not heard of before but Paul assured that since I am traveling alone he will be a good companion and is very learned. Charles was truly a gentleman throughout the tour and was an exceptional guide. He played by my plan since the beginning and really put in efforts to cover the topics of interest. I would also like to mention that Charles is also vey well connected to others in the parks having done this work for last 17 years. Though well read about the trip, parks and their flora and fauna Charles helped me document good information about the animals and birds throughout the tour. I will gladly do next one with Paul and Charles as my tour operator and guide.

Communication before our arrival was very easy and fast per email and whatsapp. We had really great time throughout the whole safari trip! The guys prepared our trip to the last detail, we saw the whole big 5 and far beyond! Novel - our guide/driver, was very nice and very knowledgeable. Paul (manager) also managed to organize the things for our next vacation trip. We are very thankful and I would recommend the guys every time and to everybody!

Africa Starpal is an excellent choice for travelers looking for an enriching, safe, and memorable safari experience. Our guide - Sammy Ndolo (or just Sammy) - was knowledgeable, kind, a careful driver, gave us options on how best to appreciate what Kenya has to offer and demonstrated flexibility to ensure we were able to rest and have a fantastic safari. Paul Muthui, Africa Starpal's coordinator, was very communicative, helped us in choosing a great package of quality sites and accommodations, resolved any and all complications quickly, and offered us a very competitive price. My wife and I absolutely loved our safari and strongly recommend that anyone interested to book with Africa Starpal.
