Guest Stories

What Travelers Say About Their Trip

Real feedback from guests who traveled with Alfo Safari — translated from their original reviews.

A Fantastic Experience

“It began for us with a magical safari among the thousand colors of Tsavo East and West, then continued to Watamu and its spectacular beaches lulled by the charm of the tide. A constant spectacle and continuous discovery — in a word, captivating. Special thanks to our guide Alfonze, who gifted us his presence: discreet, kind, and experienced, with endless anecdotes and explanations that helped us discover Kenya at its best. In the days that followed he organized unmissable excursions near Watamu and Malindi — Marafa's Hell's Kitchen, the Gede Ruins, and more — always with punctuality and professionalism. Discovering the area with him was a dive into the real Kenya. We will come back!”

Watamu Beach

An Unforgettable Vacation

“My family and I were pampered and accompanied by Alfonze of Alfo Safari throughout our trip. Both safaris left us with a true case of 'African withdrawal.' Alfonze knew exactly how to help us experience the best places, calmly and without any stress.”

Italian traveler

Watamu Beach

The Enchantment of Africa

“A charming place and charming people. Special thanks to Alfonze, who took care of our safaris with Alfo Safari. I'm leaving his direct number for anyone who wants to try an unforgettable experience. I hope to return soon.”

Italian traveler

Twiga Beach Resort & Spa

A Great Nostalgia

“The place is beautiful, but you need the right connections to really get to know it with peace of mind. My advice: rely on local guides, particularly Alfonze of Alfo Safari — safaris and excursions, along with the history of the Kenyan people, all narrated with great care and awareness.”
