Booked the Lake Nakuru National Park tour since I had a full day layover in Nairobi by myself and was not disappointed. The single supplement was quite reasonable and the booking process by phone was a breeze even though it was done only the day before. Nicholas picked me up at the hotel and was a fantastic driver and guide with a great knowledge of the animals in the park.
Cruzeiro has my business again the next time I return.

Reviewed April 21, 2011 We are a family of four(inc 2 daughters aged 8 and 12) who in December 2010 went on safari with Cruzeiro safaris.
From the moment we approached Claudia we felt we were in excellent hands and this proved to be very much the case.
Claudia put together a fantastic schedule staying at Lake Nakuru for one night then onto Masai Mara for a further two nights.
Our trip to Kenya didn't start quite as planned when our luggage failed to turn up at the airport.However,Claudia did a great job of not only locating our missing cases whilst we were on safari but also sending someone to the airport to collect them for us for which we were extremely grateful.
The trip itself was just amazing.Our driver Nick was such a lovely person who went out of his way to ensure we had a wonderful time.His experience and knowledge ensured we saw more animals and sights than we could have dreamed of and the kindness he showed towards our children will never be forgotten.
The minibus we traveled in was comfortable and safely driven by Nick.It also had the advantage of having a roof that fully opened up so that we could stand and observe the wildlife without the barrier of a window.This made the experience feel so much more real for us.
The two camps we stayed at were excellent.Firstly at Lake Nakuru where we stayed at the Sarova Lion Hill Lodge where our accomodation was a very comfortable lodge.The food was delicious and the service first class.At Masai Mara we stayed at Mara Sarova Camp which is situated right in the heart of the Mara.Our accommodation was a luxury tent with ensuite bathroom which was again very comfortable with plenty of space for all the family.The food here was also very good and plentiful.
Overall we had a magical time with Cruzeiro for which we say asante sana to both Claudia and to Nick.
We strongly recommend Cruzeiro to anybody looking for great service and wonderful memories.

“A group trip which had everything!”
Reviewed April 26, 2011 We were a group of 20 Scouts going to the Maasai Mara and Mombasa in summer 2010. Besides a great experience seeing animals and the unforgettable landscape we felt really save and looked after. The details made a difference. We were at a nice camp site, had a good cooking team, not to forget our reliable and funny driver who knew all the answers to our questions - and a few more!
Arranging the trip was easy, we got what we wanted (and agreed on), including advice in advance and help during difficulties.
I can recommend Cruzeiro Safaris happily.
We just signed up on trip advisor and we look forward to keep our profile high through reviews.

Reviewed December 15, 2011 Five adult members of our family visited Kenya in November 2011. We booked through Claudia and Cruzeiro Safaris. Claudia took charge in suggesting an itinerary that we visit Amboseli, Lake Nakkuru, Naivasha, and Maasai mara. We were met by Nickolas in the airport in Nairobi and he stayed with us the entire 8 days that we were in Kenya. He was very courteous, knowledgeable, and had a good eye for finding the animals. We would get up in the morning, tell Nick what animals we would like to see that day and invaribly he would find them for us. Between the five of us, we took approximately 5000 photos. The Lodges were excellent, food great, and we saw the big five including many other animals. I would highly recommend Claudia and Nick. Our family had a memorable time together. Marlene

Reviewed October 26, 2011 I only had four days and three nights to try to explore parts of Kenya that I had never been to. I called up Claudia at Cruziero, giving her a rough outline of what I wanted to do, and within 45 minutes she had my entire trip planned for me and my friend! The very best part of our trip was that Claudia had thought of every detail. She had a driver arranged for us that was VERY competent, knowledgeable and friendly. He looked after us in every aspect. Claudia also arranged a guide to take us on a day hike on Mt Kenya. They day was rainy, however, we totally enjoyed our messy hike up to Old Moses Camp, 10 km up the beautiful mountain. After the hike, we were driven to Nosu Moro River Lodge to spend the night. This was a beautiful lodge that I would love to revisit one day. The next morning our driver took us to the Aberdares Country Club where we had a beautiful lunch and then were transferred to the Ark where we spent two fantastic nights Early on my last morning in Kenya, the driver came to pick me up and transported me to the airport where I bid a fond farewell to my new favorite country. THIS TRIP WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN POSSIBLE WITHOUT THE HELP AND CAREFUL PLANNING BY CLAUDIA AT CRUZEIRO!!!!

Reviewed October 1, 2011 Claudia helped us with all aspects of our trip, from picking us up at the airport, to our overnight at Treetops/Nyeri, Kenya and to organising the 6 day Tanzanian safari we did through an associated company. We didn't have to worry about a thing. She even told us the best place to change money when we arrived!!
For Treetops, take the smallest bag you can fit everything into. I didn't realise it would be quite so small inside the rooms. Be prepared for a sleepless night if there is a lot of wildlife around.
Absolutely fantastic in short!!

Reviewed May 18, 2011 “Thank You” for your efforts and Cruzeiro staff that helped make my trip to Kenya in February/March absolutely amazing! It’s hard to believe that it’s been almost 3 months since I was there – because I’ve been talking about my experience to anyone in Australia that will listen. The overnight trip to Nyeri was certainly a homage to Lord and Lady BP – something that I had always hoped that “one day” might eventuate, but never quite this soon in life. And the Game tour to Lake Nakuru and Maasai Mara – the animals were beautiful and ... well there are just not enough words in the English language to describe what I still feel about being in the national parks. It was truly a memorable trip and one that I hope in a few years (well probably quite a few years yet) that I will be able to repeat with my now ‘young’ son.

Reviewed April 22, 2011 Cruzeiro have given us excellent service for over five years, and in March this year they did the same with a booking at Treetops, which was a wonderful experience. Claudia is always available on the phone to help and advise and her service is superb

Nous étions seulement de passage par Nairobi pour 48H et nous voulions en profiter pour faire un mini safari et nous voulions voir le Kilimanjaro.
Claudia a rendu tout ceci possible et dans les meilleurs des conditions !!
Du premier au dernier contact tout a été sérieux, ponctualité, nous nous sommes senti très à l'aise et nous avons pu voir beaucoup d'animaux. Note chauffeur et guide John a été exemplaire, je ne peux que recommander une telle agence.
Claudia, John, merci pour tout !!!
