    The service of Leo is just amazing. We booked our tickets two weeks in advance for December 2021 by email. The payment was easy by PayPal and we got the same day all the ticket vouchers and information about how to check. Thanks to the help of Kenyan Backpacker we had a smooth ride an easy check-in at the ticket machines and safe journey.

    This was an excellent service that provided everything we needed for a seamless experience when arriving at the train station in Nairobi. Appreciated the insider tips as well. Everything went smoothly and we were very happy we used this service to book our trip.

    Thank you for helping me book the train ticket. Claiming it at the station was nice and easy, and I really enjoyed the train ride. The views as we journeyed from Nairobi to Mombasa are mesmerizing for one who does not live in Kenya.

    We needed to take the train from Nairobi to Mombasa right after Chirstmas. Since we don’t have Mpesa and we arrived to the country only few hours before the train departed, we had to find someone to buy the tickets for us. Luckily via a TripAdvisor forum post we found Leo, who arranged the tickets in no time. Very convenient and easy. We had no trouble in Nairobi switching the e-tickets to physical ones although Leo wasn’t there.

    Highly recommended!

    Perfect service!!
    We were 4 people visiting Kenya and part of our journey was by train. We booked our train tickets through Kenyan backpacker for our Mombassa to Nairobi trip and the service was excellent. Leo provided all the required information for the booking on a timely basis and payment was easy and quick. All tickets reference were submitted to us on time and we had no issue to take delivery at the counter, on the day of our travel.
    I honestly recommend the services of Mr. Leo (KenyanBackpacker) if you want to order your SRG train tickets and are unable to pay through M-Pesa.

    This was our first time to Kenya and we were unaware that we would need MPesa to purchase train tickets. Our daughter found Leo on line and I reached out to learn more about his service. Although I was skeptical at first, Leo reassured me that he was a “real person” who provided a necessary service to those needing tickets to travel on the Madaraka Express. I would highly recommend the Kenyanbackpacker.

    I was dubious about this incase it was a scam but it most certainly is not. Replies were quick and it was such an easy and hassle free way to do it. Great especially at busy times when trains sell out far in advance.

    What Leo says he will do he will absolutely do. My wife and I were able to buy first class return tickets from Nairobi to Mombasa. They were ready at the station to be printed. It was a painless transaction. And he was nice enough to check on us after our journey, as well. Thank you!

    Very trustworthy service!!! I’m a Dutchie and don’t easily trust things like this. But Leo was amazingly helpful, friendly and fast. I had the tickets I requested for within minutes and confirmation with elaborate instructions immediately after. I can totally recommend using this service. I’m a very happy customer.

    Me and my boyfriend booked traintickets through Leo, as we wanted to go with the SGR train between Nairobi and Mombasa. Leo was very easy to communicate with, and he answered all our questions and concerns in a very friendly way. Everything worked out perfect both ways, and I would highly recommend people to book tickets through Leo. Thank you very much for helping us out, so that we got to experience more of Kenya. Take care!

    Leo helped me with booking the SGR ticket from Mombasa to Nairobi and everything worked out great! It would have been impossible otherwise as I don’t have access to MPesa. Much appreciated!

    We were able to book our tickets with Leo really easily. He was very responsive and let us know that we should show up to the station an hour ahead of time. The security lines are crazy long and we’re glad we got there early.

    Because I wasn’t going to be able to get to the terminal in Nairobi in time to purchase tickets before our trip to Mombasa, I decided to use Kenyan Backpacker’s services. So glad I did!
    He arrived to our Hotel in Nairobi and delivered the tickets as requested. Very convenient and a big relief, as the trains fill up quickly, so having the tickets purchased a month in advance made it possible to get the seats we needed.

    Excelent service!!
    I paid Leo as required in advance via Paypal for the Madarka Express (not knowing him or his services)……
    Our communication was through WhatsApp and Leo responded in good time every time.
    Our tickets was delivered as agreed on time at the hotel
    The train trip is a must for anybody travelling to Mombasa.
    Prevent a stressfull roadtrip and rather sit back and relax in a modern train while sightseeing through beautiful countryside as well as crossing Tsavo National Park from west to east. We saw plenty game (elephants, zebra, buffalo, etc)
    Don’t fly from Nairobi to Mombasa. You will miss too much.

    I found Leo‘s website via Google on searching for possibilities to do a online booking for the SGR Train. After having a chat via WhatsApp I was convinced I can trust Leo and his service. Currently there is no other chance to get tickets prior to your arrival in Kenya. We arrived with our three children on Dec 25th and wanted to travel to Mombasa on Dec 27th. If I had to try to get tickets right after arrival two days before our planned depature date, if would habe struggeled, as the tickets are mainly somd out 14 days before departure date. So Leo organized our tickets, even with a one night stop in Voi. The day we arrived in Nairobi Leo visited us in our Hostel and gave us the tickets. This service is really awesome and highly recommendable. Thank you Leo for your perfect support. Marco

    We arrived to Nairobi middle of night and wanted continue next morning straight to Mombasa with Madaraka Express. Quick Google and I found this KenyanBackpacker Leo and few chat’s later he promised to get our tickets (you cannot buy those same day you’re traveling). When we arrived in Kenya we had only a promise that Leo comes to bring our tickets to Nairobi Terminus, but no worries, Leo came and bring tickets and our journey to Mombasa started just as planned! Thank you Leo! Our trip to Kenya was magnificent!
