Wonderful wildlife, landscape and people. The different areas of Kenya - including Nairobi, the Masai Mara and Lamu, provided
fresh and interesting experiences in each new location.

It was magical; the whole trip was perfect.

We had an amazing time. We arrived in Nairobi and spent two nights there. We coudn't belive the diversity of wildlife in the National Park on the doorstep of the hotel. We adored The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the baby elephants. From Nairobi we took a short flight to Amboseli National park which was truly magical. The list of wildlife we saw was huge!
The hotels were great, the people lovely and freindly and the food was good.
I am delighted to have contacted Safari Bookings.

Wonderful safari experience from Diani Beach to Saltlick Lodge

I don’t have word to describe how wonderful was the experience in safari. When we’ve booked everything, we were a bit sceptic about what conditions we’ll have, but everything was great! We’ve booked a 2 day safari from Diani Beach to Saltlick Lodge. Our driver, Stephen has done all the great things for us, he didn’t stop until we’ve seen all the animals, from elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebras and of course the lions. He gave us a lot of details about all the animals, the wildlife and his great vibe made us enjoy every moment. The lodge is also an unique experience, to sleep while hearing all the animals outside. There were elephants families with small babies coming to the lodge to drink water, along with other animals like zebra, baboons or buffalos. I really recommend taking this safari for someone who wants to enjoy all the wildlife in 2 days.

My husband and I participated in a two day safari at Masi Mara. Overall the experience was excellent. Our driver/guide was wonderful! Friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, fun and funny! We covered a lot of territory and saw many animals and birds. The land rover was spacious and comfortable. A great experience!

A journey that truly surprised me

5 / 5 5 /5

Kenya completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the country revealed itself as a place of extraordinary beauty, calm, and authenticity. It was a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Our visit to the Masai Mara National Reserve was absolutely breathtaking. Seeing the Big Five within just four hours felt almost unreal. The park was wonderfully peaceful at the end of November, with very few jeeps around, allowing us to experience nature in its purest form. The sheer number of animals and the vast, open landscapes created moments of silence and awe that will stay with me forever.
We were especially glad with our guide, Kennedy from Update Travels. His knowledge, professionalism, and calm presence made the safari even more enjoyable.
The visit to a Maasai village, however, was more mixed. While we genuinely believe the Maasai people are sincere and proud of their culture, the experience itself felt somewhat like a tourist trap. Some individuals
Read more asked prices that felt excessive, which took away a bit of the authenticity and created an uncomfortable feeling of unfairness. (seeing smartphones and iPhones alongside traditional attire made the experience feel less genuine than expected.)
That said, this does not diminish the overall magic of Kenya. It is a country of powerful contrasts, deep beauty, and unforgettable moments. The landscapes, wildlife, and tranquility of the safari alone make Kenya a destination that leaves a lasting impression and invites you to return.

Experience African life

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 4 / 5 4 / 5 4 / 5

Kenia offers the possiblity to experience African (wild) life in many aspects. The different nature reserves present different landscapes and a variety of wild life. While travelling from one park to the other you get an impression of the culture and Kenian society.
The national museum in Nairobi is a good starting point - you can learn about the people and animals you might encounter during your visit. The climate was nice - in november it was warm and cool, some rain and much sunshine.
The tour guide and staff in the lodges where very helpful and friendly.
