Marvelous wildlife, terrible slums and trash everywhere

We visited 3 national parks - Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. It was a 6-day safari, well organised, jeep travel. The driver was also our guide and Jackson was a very experienced and knowledgeable guy. The thing which we did not take into account in advance was that travel distances are quite big and rather tiresome. Inside the national parks roads are dirty (red all-sticking dust) and very uneven, while the riding lasts 6 to 7 hours. Between the parks distances are 200-300 km or more, some parts of these also on dirty roads. In 2 words - lots of jeep riding. This, plus early wake-ups (5:30 am) to catch the rhythm of the animals equals to tiredness. People should be prepared for this - we were not, which was our fault only. Nothing to do with the guide and the company. For those seeking to observe lots of birds and some animals, I'd suggest going to Nakuru only; for elephants - Amboseli is the perfect place.
We slept in so called "budget" accommodations - a hotel
Read more in Nakuru and tents in the other 2 parks. Tents were spacious, something like 30 sq.m. with private toilet and a shower stand, comfortable beds, etc. Mosquitos are endless and invisible, be prepared. The food was basic but tasty, only lunch boxes were rather boring - every day there was 1/4 of fried chicken. In general - great experience, fascinating wildlife, everybody pushes you to give away some money ... walking wallets syndrome.

I recently spent 7 days traveling in Kenya and it was an incredible experience. In just one week I visited Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and finally relaxed at Diani Beach, which gave me the chance to see very different landscapes and wildlife.3ps Tour managed everything perfectly !
Masai Mara was amazing for wildlife. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and many other animals during the game drives. Amboseli was spectacular for its large herds of elephants unfortunately it was cloudy and we could no admire the stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. Lake Nakuru was also beautiful, especially for birdlife and the chance to see rhinos and flamingos
After the safari, finishing the trip at Diani Beach was perfect. The white sand and turquoise water were stunning and it was the ideal place to relax after several days of exploring. Accommodations were all over the expectations and food incredibly abundant and various
Kenya offers an incredible mix of wildlife, nature and beautiful beaches. Even in just 7 days, it was an unforgettable trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful safari. Our driver was extremely professional—with ten years of experience, he drove very steadily and positioned us perfectly so that we could capture the amazing moment when a cheetah was hunting.

Eye opening experience

Our recent safari in the Maasai Mara National Reserve was truly the experience of a lifetime. From start to finish, everything was impeccably organised, making the entire trip seamless and completely stress-free.

A huge highlight of our adventure was our incredible driver and guide, Peter. He was knowledgeable, passionate, and clearly experienced — you absolutely must ask for him! He went out of his way to take us to the very best sunrise spots, which were simply breathtaking, and he had an amazing eye for spotting animals. Thanks to him, we saw so much more than we ever expected. Even when we had a small hiccup with the car, Peter handled it calmly and professionally, ensuring it didn’t affect our experience at all. His dedication and positive attitude truly made the trip extra special.

One of the most unforgettable moments of the trip was witnessing a lion kill early in the morning. It was such a rare and incredible experience — raw, powerful, and a
Read more true reminder of the beauty and intensity of nature. Seeing this unfold in the wild was something we will never forget.

The accommodation was absolutely perfect — comfortable, beautifully set, and the ideal place to relax after exciting game drives. Dinner was fantastic, and breakfast was very good, setting us up perfectly for early mornings out in the reserve.

A visit to a local Maasai village is an absolute must. We had the privilege of visiting the village and the school, and we felt so incredibly welcome. It was a humbling and enriching experience to learn more about the culture and daily life of the community. We left feeling grateful and honoured to have shared in such an authentic and meaningful visit.

We genuinely had the best time of our lives and would recommend this safari to anyone considering it. It was unforgettable in every way!

The review below is the personal opinion of Paul and not that of SafariBookings.

Very much garbage (plastic and other rubbish) next to the roads

3 / 5 3 /5
4 / 5 0 / 5 4 / 5 4 / 5

The safaris are certainly not animal-friendly. For example, 25 safari jeeps around one single leopard. Of course, I chose this myself, and I'm complicit.
The people in Kenya are generally very friendly. I enjoyed my trip to Kenya.

Amazing travel through the beautiful nataional parks of Amboseli and Tsavo east with Keshi Tour. Everything was perfectly organized and thank to our guide and driver we have seen almost all the animals in the parks. Kenya is incredible and people are fantastic!
