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.

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.
