EXCELLENT Based on 134 reviews Herry Brock2025-06-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The accommodation arrangements were not as advertised. We ended up staying in subpar lodges that were far below the quality promised. Additionally, the vehicles used for safaris were uncomfortable and poorly maintained Jonson Charls2025-06-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Customer service was terrible. It took days to get a response to my inquiries, and when I finally did, the staff was dismissive and uncooperative. The trip itself also fell short of expectations, with poorly organized activities. Anderson A2025-06-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I had high expectations, but Nesh Tours & Safaris was very disappointing. The itinerary was not followed as promised, and the guides were unprofessional and unhelpful. Overall, a frustrating experience that I wouldn’t recommend. Thomas B2025-06-20Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really bad experience.. Travis Tevez2025-05-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nesh Tours is a gem. The whole team was amazing—Stella coordinated everything flawlessly, Humphrey was warm and professional, and Joseph was a master with the camera. We saw so much wildlife at Lake Nakuru and Amboseli, and then got to unwind in beautiful Diani. Every day was better than the last. Book with them—you won’t regret it. PATRICK2025-05-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My friends and I booked our Kenya trip with Nesh Tours and it was one of the best decisions we’ve made. Stella took care of all the logistics with incredible attention to detail. Steve made sure we didn’t miss any wildlife, especially in Amboseli. And Joseph’s photography? Simply stunning. He made us look like we were on the cover of National Geographic! Timothy Tamasha2025-05-15Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Humprey and Steve were a great duo!
