Wonderful tour of the National Park

Had a wonderful tour of the National Park in Nairobi thanks to Winda Guida! They coordinated all parts - driver, car, park fees - and we had a spectacular visit. The communication was clear and timely, and we really appreciated all the help!

Safari in Nairobi National Park

Winda Guide arranged a great safari for us in Nairobi National Park. We were super last minute with our planned trip but Ndiko arranged everything in time, was a fun, wonderful and knowledgeable guide during the safari and gave us lots of other tips to explore Nairobi.

Absolutely wonderful experience working…

Absolutely wonderful experience working with Winda. They listened to what we were after in a Safari experience for my wife and I in Kenya, and provided many choices that had been curated for our needs. They handled all of the stress of picking the perfect place and did all of the leg work to book the experience and our travel. Always responsive and dreamy to work with, if you’re going to Safari then there is no better option. Karen was absolutely amazing, thank you!

Thoughtful and customized trip planning

Ndiko helped me find a specialized guide for hiking Mt Kenya and absolutely nailed it. She also helped arrange transport there and back as well as a cute airbnb to crash at after the hike. Unlike other travel agents, Ndiko didn’t just pass us off to the guide, she was in touch with me and the guide throughout the trip to make sure everything was going well. Would 100% recommend working with Ndiko for all your Kenyan travel needs!!

Great service with a fountain of knowledge of travel in East Africa

Karen was so helpful. I am based in the UK but Karen through multiple video calls helped me plan my trip (it was easier than going to a travel agent). I can’t imagine too many people know East Africa travel better than Karen. A lovely person who made my life so easy on my first trip to Africa. If you are wanting to plan and book the best Safari experience then make sure to use winda.guide.

Smooth process, great communicator

Ndiko was absolutely wonderful! We felt very overwhelmed when trying to choose a safari camp option (before working with Ndiko), and she helped us narrow it down based on our budget and preferences. Once we chose our camp, she took care of all the logistics—flights, bookings, etc.—and communicated them carefully. Once we were traveling, she was very quick to respond and answer any questions we had. Would highly recommend Winda Guide for all your East Africa travel needs!

Experience the true wild and beautiful Kenya

We (2 Italian girls and 2 Italian men) chose Winda for our 2 weeks August trip in Kenya and it has been revealed a really good choice. We wanted to visit Amboseli and Masai Mara, and Winda suggested us to stay just outside the parks in 2 very nice lodges, far from the high season crowds. In Amboseli we stayed in Amboseli Bush Camp, in the middle of nowehere; we were alone with 2 local staff, and one of them was an excellent pizza maker (you bring the ingredients from Nairobi and he makes for you delicious italian pizzas). The Safari Tents were beautiful, like the living room and the other common space. In Masai Mara we stayed at Amazing Mara Camp: it is in a superb location and it is very peacefully (only 7 tents) with all the services you needed (this time we chose to have all the comforts, and the lodge services were just outsanding)! The driver-guides Winda provided us were really nice, friendly, professional, flexible and helpful...and more important, they made us very confortable through all the journey. Finally, 2 of us climbed Mount Kenya (it was my second time) and the guide and the entire team Winda provided us were professional, friendly and helpful: we felt at home!
Winda has been very professional and honest with us since the first second: for instance, at the last moment, there have been some changes in costs and in drivers-guides because of some reasons, and Winda was helpful and ready to assist us with everything. In the end everything went very well.
Therefore, I can only recommend Winda for your next Kenyan trip, especially if you want to avoid the mainstream locations, crowd-lodges and so on...but experience the true wild and beautiful Kenya!

Highly Recommend Winda!!

Winda was absolutely amazing in helping us plan our Maasai Mara Safari!! Communication and payment were seamless and the Safari was the best trip of our lives. Winda even went above and beyond in helping us secure a group discount and we’ll definitely be using Winda again for our next trip.

Great first safari - my new go-to agent!

Winda organized my first trip to Maasai Mara and it was nothing short of incredible. Our group was large (15) but needed some complex services due to varied travel schedules, lengths of stay and dietary restrictions. Everything was handled flawlessly, from our transport to / from the park to the experience at the lodge. I really feel like Ndiko took the time to craft a special experience just for us, and found the perfect lodge for the type of safari we wanted. When I struggled trying to remit payment from the US in advance, she was patient with me and helped me troubleshoot (which I know required her to stay up quite late at night local time). I’m so grateful for that first experience, and Winda has been my first-choice travel agent in Kenya ever since.

Awesome Black- and woman-owned travel company that provides tailor-made experiences in Kenya

Winda is an excellent one-stop shop for putting together an amazing trip to Kenya that fits all your needs and wants. Ndiko spends a lot of time and effort in going all around the country to identify hidden gems in terms of accommodation and experiences. I particularly appreciate her emphasis on community-owned lodges and female guides. She really cares about supporting local businesses, aside from being quick and responsive and listening to your needs as a traveller. She gave my family and I a beautiful, seamless trip, from pick-up and drop off at my doorstep. I highly recommend Winda for anyone who wants to experience Kenya.

Incredible experience with winda over and over again

Incredible experience with winda. I first went to a winda experience with a bigger group and visited Shompole conservancy. The experience was flawless, from the transport, to the activities throughout the weekend. It was great to spend some time with the community. More recently, winda organized a weekend for 12 of my friends in a very special property with just the right activities. Ndiko the founder is exceptional at understanding guest needs and getting off-the-beaten path properties.

Unique experience with Winda Guide

I had an amazing weekend in Nakuru thanks to Winda Guide. I only had a rough idea of what I wanted this trip to be like and Ndiko put something together that exceeded my expectations. The first day we went to Soysambu Conservancy for a horse ride. To ride within this beautiful piece of land next to the wildlife was breathtaking. Later we did a night game drive with a very knowledgeable guide, she organized for us. It was a very special experience to see the wildlife in the dark. The next day we went to do a game drive at Lake Nakuru, which was so much fun. The highlight was seeing lions climbing trees, and a Rhino family!
Ndiko was very hospitable, super helpful every step of the way and overall just great company. Can’t thank her enough for the experience she put together for me. Won’t be the last safari I’ll do with Winda Guide!
