We were there in Kenya for 06days covering Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Taita hills. The stay was good - some places lacked WiFi connectivity, some places the food was mediocre. The game drive was very interesting, wildlife encounters were exciting. The journey between different places was a bit stretchy and consumed half of the time we stayed in Kenya.
The people was kind and sociable. The Masai tribe were welcoming and all the hosts from different hotels were very accomodative.
Family Leisure Africa Safari tourism was our tourism provider. They organised the tour well and our tourist guide was knowledgeable.
Overall, a very satisfiable trip and would repeat it if the moment comes.

Earlier this month we travelled to Kenya to fulfil our dream of going on safari and we were not disappointed. Paul from Africa Starpal Tours & Safaris was very friendly and helpful in managing to satisfy all our wishes, creating a personalized package for a dream holiday. We managed to visit all the big reserves namely Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo East National Park, Samburu National Reserve, Ol Pejeta Conservancy and of course Nairobi National Park. The scenery was fabulous and we saw a lot of animals. Our guides Morris (Eagle Eye - best guide ever) and Kizito, were incredibly knowledgeable and professional. It was an amazing trip and a wonderful time we spent together, travelling in this wonderful country called Kenya. We recommend Kenya and Africa Starpal Tours & Safaris for a dream holiday!

The community within the Masai Mara is welcoming. The wildlife is in plenty. And we were able to see four of the big five. There were also birds that are known in Uganda present in the Kenyan Mara. The hospitality is spot on. And the tour company, Axis Africa Safaris, made sure we experienced the same, authentic bush experience.

Enjoyed the parks! However, entry took 40 minutes of struggle to buy a ticket through the https://www.kws.go.ke/. Website kept erasing username and password. Visitors do NOT want to keep track of passwords. They want to enjoy vacation. Need to be able to just pay with credit card and there will be a record of the purchase for the government without all the hassle.

I recently traveled to Nairobi for a work trip, and added on vacation so I could go on safari for the first time. I found Earthwings Safari through Safaribookings.com, and was extremely happy with my experience! I did 3 days in Masai Mara and a day in Lake Nakuru, and both were extremely beautiful. I saw plenty of animals and generally enjoyed being in Savannah and lake regions. Kenyans are extremely nice and helpful. Make no mistake, this is a developing country so public infrastructure is not always great, but if you’re used to going off the beaten path or accept that this isn’t going to always be a fully westernized experience, and embrace where you are, you will have the absolute best time. I highly recommend and if I have the chance to go back to Kenya again for work, I will be doing this all again!

Wow!! We recently spent 4 days at the Karen Blixen Camp, North Mara Conservancy (booked with The Out of Africa Experience) & I can honestly say it blew our minds, the camp & staff were amazing, the accommodation exceptional & the safari experience was out of the world, we saw so many animals in their natural habitat, our guide was fantastic, clearly very experienced & was a pleasure to spend time with. We felt that every day was an unbelievable treat - thank you

We booked a four day three night safari and it was a breath taking experience. Everything was meticulously arranged and it really took the guess work out of figuring out every detail of our trip. Our guides were very knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful. We learned so much and were thoroughly entertained. The time of year we chose to go was also perfect. We didn’t witnesss the great migration, but we able to avoid crowds and still manage to see all the animals on our checklist and more. Our guides with their laser sharp vision were able to spot animals seemingly miles away that we couldn’t tell were there until we were closer. The hot air balloon portion of our tour was amazing. It felt like a very special experience being able to tour the lands from a different point of view and be treated to a wonderful breakfast on the savanna. What a view! Bonifus was our favorite guide and wealth of knowledge knew no bounds. 10/10 recommend and would absolutely do again.

Our recent 5-day private safari through Kenya’s Amboseli, Tsavo East, and Tsavo West National Parks was nothing short of spectacular. Despite traveling during the rainy season, our experience far exceeded expectations, thanks to the excellent planning, diverse wildlife encounters, and the unparalleled expertise of our guide, Joeffrey.
Our safari concluded with a scenic drive to Diani Beach, where the turquoise waters and pristine white sands provided the perfect ending to an action-packed adventure. The transition from Kenya’s wild landscapes to the serene coastline was seamless, and we truly appreciated the opportunity to unwind after days of thrilling game drives.
Joeffrey played a pivotal role in making this safari unforgettable. His patience, professionalism, and enthusiasm for wildlife were unmatched. Whether it was maneuvering through challenging roads, sharing in our excitement during wildlife sightings, or answering our endless questions about Kenya’s

ecosystems, he went above and beyond to ensure a seamless experience.
Traveling during the rainy season added a unique twist to the safari. While some roads were muddy and required extra effort, the vibrant landscapes and plentiful wildlife were worth it. Seeing four of the Big Five and even cheetahs was an incredible accomplishment, especially given the seasonal challenges.
Ending the tour at Diani Beach was a stroke of genius. The chance to relax by the ocean after days of adventure perfectly balanced the trip, leaving us refreshed and fulfilled.
For anyone considering a safari in Kenya, I wholeheartedly recommend this itinerary. Amboseli, Tsavo East, and Tsavo West offer diverse landscapes, abundant wildlife, and unforgettable moments. Pairing the safari with a beach retreat in Diani is a brilliant way to experience the b
