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.

Extraordinary in terms of natural wildlife and scenic beauty

I've visited Masai Mara, Nakuru, Hells Gate, Naivasha and Amboselli and best safari experience I've had was in the first two (10/10, exceeded any expectations). Others were fun and Kilimanjaro is definitely worth seeing in Amboseli. Ukunda and the Indian ocean shores were fine, but not that unique as national parks. One thing worth mentioning when traveling to Kenya is that local people will desperately try to convince you to buy something or help them in some way. They are kind and friendly, but while visiting country and roaming in public areas expect constant attention.

Wildlife with Beauty

Kenya as a country is just beauty with beasts.
The wildlife is mind blowing for adults to kids.
The scenic view of Mt Kilimanjaro or beaches of Diani can't be expressed in words.
Hospitality was to an extent which no one would imagine.
One needs to visit to feel it.

Beautiful country.

Kenya is a beautiful country. For people who love nature, the country is highly recommended.
My advice is to do the safaris yourself — not with a tourcompany/guide. With a tour, you get a driver (not a guide as promised) in an overcrowded safari jeep, with little flexibility, and you end up at lodges you wouldn’t have chosen yourself. A self-drive safari is easy to do with a 4-wheel drive and is much cheaper.
