      Choose Virgin Tours for your Kenya trip!
      My friend recommended Virgin Tours for the Nairobi Safari drive through, and I am very glad I chose to book with this company. I ended adding additional tours (city tour, giraffe center, and purple tea farm) through Virgin and they made everything hassle free for me during my two day stay in Nairobi. Clements was very communicative and responsive, and provided different options from hotels to tours to help put my itinerary together. He was also very flexible. In fact, I had to change my travel dates after initially agreeing on some dates but he understood and was easy to work with. Trust Virgin will make your trip in Kenya a dream come true. And, they will work with your schedule and budget. Plus the guides they work with are very knowledgeable and I learned alot about Kenya safari, history and culture. When I come back to visit, I'll definitely be booking with them.

      TRIP TO TSAVO NATIONAL PARK
      We recently did a family trip to TSAVO NATIONAL PARK all organised by VIRGIN EXPLORERS. They've always organised our trips for the last 4yrs and each time they keep making it even better. We had an amazing experience and we appreciate their exquisite service delivery. Our lunch at Ashnil Aruba was great not to mention a smooth children friendly game drive. Can't wait to have you organised for our next trip.

      A Trip to remember for a life time
      So we recently went to kenya masai mara and mombasa Diani and the services provided by the virgin explorers made this a trip to remember for a lifetime. Since the beginning Clement and his team were dedicated to make everything easy for us from arranging the game rides to masai kenya and making sure we saw most of the wildlife to planning a dolphin dhow trip to wasini mombasa and scuba experience everything was perfect. The scuba equipments provided were of great quality and didnt cause any discomfort whereas the instructor made sure that our first scuba dive was nothing but an out of this world experience. The entire team was so cooperative and made sure that we take the best of memories from this trip back home I highly recommend booking services through them

      Nice driver
      Virgin Explorers, a travel agency, arranged a three-day safari tour for us in Amboseli National Park, Kenya. I want to emphasize here the driver/guide they sent. He picked us up at our hotel in Nairobi, showed us around the park, and dropped us off at our hotel. We enjoyed great conversation throughout the tour. He was very experienced, knowledgeable and entertaining. We learned a lot about wildlife and Kenyan culture. On the other hand, he was also eager to learn new things from us and asked questions about our Japanese culture. We shared our interests with each other. We will never forget the animals we met, but also the man who showed us around and entertained us a lot. We are truly grateful to Virgin Explorers for providing us with such a memorable experience.

      Awesome old city walking tour.
      I did the walking Old City tour with Virgin Explorers - it was amazing! It was probably one of the best walking tours I have done - the guide was really knowledgeable, funny and flexible in providing some structure but also venturing off the beaten path a little! From organizing the pick up - to the tour - to drop off it was really easy and fun. Thank you to Clement and the awesome team for organizing this!

    I really enjoy staying Monbasa thanks to Virgin Explorers.
    He gave me the best experience although we have a much low budget.
    He support us with full power and never cheat us, of course.
    If somebody who will go Africa calls me, I recommend him first.
