I’ve been to Kenya before and it’s always incredible but to see my wife’s face on every game drive was so special. She was amazed at the wildlife and I’m so glad that she got to experience it as everyone should once in their lifetime! I regret that we didn’t get out to Malindi but maybe next time.
Oh yeah, you must eat at The Carnivore too!

We loved Kenya this is my second time and the place we stayed and the hospitality was superb One thing that may help travellers in future is really look at time of year for animals you want to see , we have done 4 safari’s in different countries, and we picked the one we did ,because you do not go through gates and even with gated safari’s the animals have miles to wander , you are not seeing how it really is , often they are tagged , this has its up side as you are more likely to see more , we took a chance and still saw most of big five , but what we didn’t realise is as the weather changes so does the animal’s behaviour and in the rainy season they tend to go to ground, this year that has started early , we were lucky and missed it but something worth considering

Best experience of our lives

We had the best safari experience ever. We went for 6 days safari to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli and it was absolutely amazing. We were extremely lucky with our guide, George. He was absolutely perfect. He made sure we had the best experience ever, going above and beyond to make sure we could see as many animals as possible, while always ensuring we were happy. This has been the best decision we've ever made and the experience wouldn't have been the same without George!!!

We went to Kenya for our honeymoon and did a 6 day safari to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. The weather was perfect in early September, we didn't experience any rain until the very end of our trip when we were in Mombasa. It wasn't too hot during the game drives during that time but a bit chilly in the morning so we brought a light sweater to layer. The people are so nice and willing to help wherever needed, although it is advisable to be cautious when in crowded places in Nairobi or Mombasa since there may be pickpockets. We didn't experience this, although we were cautious in the cities. We saw so many animals when we did our safari and our local tour operator was great in making sure our trip met our expectations. Accommodation is varied, as you can go as budget as you want or as luxurious as you want. We went mid-range and we thought it was worth it. Overall I would highly recommend Kenya as a vacation destination.

Unbeatable wildlife

Maasai Mara, lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha were amazing. Saw almost everything we wanted to see besides a leopard. Sadly driving through towns and cities, it does not seem like much of the money generated from so much tourism is used to improve the livelihoods of locals. However, locals were very friendly and all spoke great English

Kenya is a real dream!

We had a great experience with the agency, despite a few hiccups (a strike, a bolt in the Jeep's tire, etc.).
The drivers were all highly skilled and knew the parks like the back of their hand! This really helped us spot all the wildlife, too.
We were also very happy with the accommodation—aside from the restrictions on electricity and hot water, but that’s standard throughout the country!

Kenya is beautiful in culture, wildlife, and landscape.

My visit to Kenya was nothing short of spectacular! Every item on my hope-to- experience wish list was fulfilled. Although we did not see the Great Migration river crossing, we certainly witnessed hundreds of wildebeest and zebras heading that direction. (Be aware that the crossing experience is luck of the draw!)
Our August weather was great and varied dependent upon where we were - chilly in higher elevations, hot in lower and both rainy and dry. Glad that we heeded the advice to dress in layers.
Our guide/drivers were not only congenial and knowledgeable, they also made certain that we saw all of the animals, sometimes driving FAST over bumpy terrain when a call came in about a sighting.
All of the Kenyan people we experienced in the Nairobi hotel and the camps/lodges were very helpful, kind, and hard-working. It was truly a delight to make new “friends.”
We thoroughly enjoyed our Maasai village visit. It is true that you give money to visit and are
Read more expected to purchase crafts from the women, but we didn’t mind doing this in exchange for a front row experience. Plus, the funds help these people school their children. As former teachers, that was important to us.
We did not visit any other countries but there was plenty to do in Kenya alone. From exploring Nairobi to petting the last two remaining white rhinos at Ol Pejeta and enjoying fabulous views of Kilimanjaro with numerous stops in between, the 15 day safari went much too quickly! Our tour company, Tapestry of Africa, was outstanding in every category. This truly was an adventure of a lifetime!

One day, I hope I can stay there forever.
People, landscape and wildlife are incredibly great. No words for that.

A wonderful safari experience with amazing wildlife

We had a really lovely safari experience and came back with some amazing memories.

We were very lucky with the wildlife and saw a huge number of animals throughout the trip, which made the experience even more special. The itinerary was varied and allowed us to discover different landscapes and parks.

The mid-range hotels were all very comfortable, and we were also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals, which were consistently very good.

Paul was very friendly and helpful in all our exchanges before the trip. He was flexible, understanding and really tried to accommodate our requests when organising the itinerary.

Our driver, Joseph, was also very friendly and attentive to our requests throughout the safari.

The only small disappointment concerned the final day and a visit we had specifically requested to add to the itinerary. This was not part of the original safari programme, and unfortunately it did
Read more not work out as expected. For any unusual or very specific requests like this, we would simply recommend discussing the practical details and feasibility carefully with Paul in advance.

Overall, we had a very positive experience, saw an incredible amount of wildlife and really enjoyed our safari.
