I was very impressed with the service and professionalism of Kenya Assist! Communication through What’sApp before my pick-up was fast and efficient, and all my questions were answered with ease. My driver, Gideon, was prompt and a pleasure to talk to on my trip from Nairobi to Emali!!! I highly recommend!

The excursion to Antananarivo, the Rova, the local markets, and the Lemur Park was fantastic. A great driver/guide who explained everything to me, pleasant and very professional. Magnificent visits. Thank you. Looking forward to Ampefy next week!
