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

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.

A once in a lifetime experience

For those looking to check off another item off their bucket list and to see a Safari as it is meant to be, I highly recommend going to Kenya. From the first camp to the last, it’s like walking onto a movie set. The picturesque views and the abundance of wildlife were so much more than we expected. We saw lions and rhinos and zebras and giraffes and monkeys and wildebeest and buffaloes in warthogs and birds aplenty. And for the most amazing experience, I highly recommend the hot air balloon over the Masai Mara - you will never forget it

The Massai Mara was beautiful in November with many animal sitings, including lions, cheeta, giraffes, elephants, hippos and the list goes on. We highly recommend!

Wildlife on safari top - nationalparc fees flop !!

5 / 5 5 /5

Our safari in Kenya was very varied and fantastic. The safari company African Hartebeest booked according to our wishes and delivered what it promised. I can definitely recommend this small company. The website safaribookings is very helpful for finding the right agency.
The national park fees are outrageously high, which is why I probably won't be coming back to Kenya. The beach hotel (Severin Sea Lodge) was also very pleasant. Quiet location, good food, friendly staff. Everything was great.
The beach is anything but beautiful.
Lots of seaweed that isn't removed from the beach makes it difficult to feel comfortable.
The beach boys are as annoying as they were 20 years ago.
Outside the complex, the area is also unattractive.

The game drives, seeing the mass variety of animals, was amazing.

We loved the game drives as we saw many animals. The scenery was also amazing! The weather was perfect, not too warm or cold, and it rained a little only one day. The Lenchada Tourist camp n Masai Mara was very comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, the food was only fair. Buraha Zenoni Hotel and Resort in Nakuru City was very comfortable and offered a great dinner buffet with lots of food variety.

vast and wonderful

Kenya is an incredible destination for wildlife, mountains, valleys and human interest. The sky is enormous, vast, uncrowded and beautiful. The animals were plentiful, we didn't expect to see giraffes, zebra & gazelles on the side of the road like other countries might have cows or chickens. We went to Amboseli, saw Kilimanjaro, stunning at both dawn and dusk, the East African Rift Valley (my personal favourite part of the trip), volcanoes, lakes, islands, and national parks of course. The people were friendly and helpful, the country felt safe and the weather was perfect in November, neither too hot nor too cold.
