A first rate safari destination - excellent wildlife and great diversity in natural scenery
This short review cannot do justice to the wildlife and natural beauty of Kenya. Its something that needs to be

experienced. We had a great time in Amboseli and Masai Mara watching lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, hippos etc. not to mention. countless wildebeest and zebra all over the plains. No rhinos for us though - hopefully, next time!! Watching hippos, zebras and waterbucks graze in the lodge grounds in Lake Naivasha, right outside your window was a fantastic experience.The Masai village tour suggested by Rinus in the end was, however, a bit disappointing. Most of it seemed stage-managed and the villagers were more keen on extracting a few more dollars than showcasing their culture.

Espectacular
Everything was wonderfull.
super recommended, wonderful and helpful people, amazing food, unique landscapes, luxury hotels, adventure after another, our guide is very good, traveling to Africa has been an experience unmatched anywhere else in the world where we will live what we have lived there.
Great safari, lots of wildlife!
Everything ran as planned. Kenneth from beacon Safaris picked us up at the Airport and we headed to Masai Mara.
We made a stop to take some photos of an amazing landscape on our way.
First day, Just before reaching the hotel we spotted the a Rhino and the leopard !
Accommodation at ashnil Camp was nice, nothing to complain, good food with very kind people.
Kenneth was an amazing guide, passionate, professional and very experienced. We spotted the big five at our second day.
I do recommend a Safari at Kenya.
Wild and beautiful
We were lucky with the weather, it was raining during night but during day it was amazing.
We saw all animals we expected to see, so we are really happy about that, because that's the point, and we have amazing driver, our tour guide, Cyrus

Incredible; amazing; surreal.
There were a couple of things that happened that we were not expecting but dealt with them. One thing that didn't sit well with us was part of our itinerary it clearly stated a boat ride in Lake Naivasha, and this didn't happen. I messaged Tom and he told me this was a computer error and if we wanted to do the boat ride the cost would be $30 USD. this was very disappointing as we now spent the afternoon at the hotel.
we should have done a bit more research

in regards to how far the parks were from each other as we spent a lot of our time driving to each park.the guides were good but Animal sticks out as the BEST! he is so passionate about his tours and it shows through his enthusiasm and stories he tells. he brought this trip, for me, to that level of amazing. he is a very special man and his love for his country shines through in his wonderfulness.
overall it really was a trip of a lifetime.
wonderful and memorable holiday
wonderful and memorable holiday in your beautiful country.
The safari tour was exceptional allowing us to see the true beauty of your country. The beach holiday was picture perfect and the setting idealistic. It would be amiss not to mention the people we met on our travels. Everyone was just so kind and considerate and allowed us to feel completely at ease and enjoy our surroundings.

So much to see
This was my third trip to Kenya and it seems to get better every time! We went to four different parks/reserves (Samburu, Maasai Mara, Aberdares (moorlands), and Lake Nakuru.) All were very different. Samburu was the most intimate, with abundant game and fascinating landscape (I'd stay at the Samburu Intrepids again in a heartbeat!). Maasai Mara is so very spectacular (wildebeest migration season), with countless animals in every direction. Entim Camp was perfectly positioned and had great service. In the Aberdares, we stayed in the Kenya Wildlife Service 'lodge' -- a unique spot in the high moorlands (quiet, solitary, a world away). Our final stop was Lake Nakuru where we finally saw rhinos.

Beautiful country
I went on a 16 day safari with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris and was very happy with the overall experience. The wildlife was amazing and the food and transportation was really good. I ended up going to Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania on the first part of the trip and might have skipped this had I known how long it would take to get there and the hassle of the border crossings. By the time I arrived I think we only had 2.5 hours in the park before we had to leave. Aside from that though, the rest of the trip was great. Went to Amboseli, Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Samburu, Lake Naivasha, and Maasai Mara. I think Tsavo East and Maasai Mara were the highlights. Each park was unique and offered different types of habitat and wildlife. My guide Tom was great and made sure I was well taken care of. I would definitely book with them again in the future.
Great animals, great nature and especially great people
We had a 5 days trip to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. The Landscape, the animals and the people where amazing!
Saw more wildlife than imagined
The wildlife we saw was amazing, it was just like being in the middle of a BBC animal planet doco. The scenery was beautiful. The camp we stayed in was amazing, so cool to have a tent with a bathroom. The food was fantastic, always got to love the all you eat buffets. It was the most amazing experience and I feel so lucky to of been to this special part of the world.
