Holiday of a Lifetime
We loved Kenya: it did not disappoint. The landscapes were spectacular, the animal sightings amazing, the people interesting, informed and so wanting us to have a good experience.
We cannot thank Extra Miles Unique Adventures enough.
Don’t hesitate - visit Kenya as soon as you can!

It’s a beautiful country with a warm welcome
We had an incredible three week trip to East Africa. Week one was Nairobi, the Masai Mara and Nakuru were we were fortunate to see the big 5. This was followed by a week on the coast south of Mombasa on Chale Island. Beautiful location with an incredible hotel and the service was exceptional. After that we travelled to Zanzibar where we stayed at the Melia resort. We loved Zanzibar and the capital Stone Town was definitely worth visiting. In summary it was three weeks of sunshine, hospitable people and stunning locations. Highly recommended!

Kenya: A Magical Safari Destination
Lake Naivasha: Scenic Beauty and Adventure
We began our adventure at Lake Naivasha, staying at the peaceful Lake Naivasha Simba Lodge. Surrounded by the serene waters of the lake and acacia trees teeming with birds, it was a fantastic place to immerse ourselves in nature. Hiking Mt. Longonot was a thrilling (if not hard at the altitude) start, offering panoramic views of the Great Rift Valley.
Lake Elmenteita and Hell’s Gate: Wildlife and Unique Landscapes
Next, we visited Lake Elmenteita, where the luxury of Serena Camp added a touch of indulgence to our stay. We explored the rugged beauty of Hell’s Gate National Park on bicycles, weaving past dramatic cliffs, geothermal steam vents,

and even zebras grazing nearby. This park is truly one of Kenya’s hidden gems, offering adventure and wildlife without the crowds.Masai Mara: The Ultimate Safari
The Masai Mara National Reserve was the highlight of our trip. Staying at &Beyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp, a luxurious retreat overlooking the Mara plains, felt like stepping into a dream. Each safari game drive was unforgettable—we saw lions lounging and eating in the Mara, elephants marching majestically across the plains, and cheetahs killing warthogs! The abundance of wildlife here is unparalleled.
The most magical moment was a hot air balloon ride at sunrise. Floating silently above the savannah, watching the golden light illuminate elephants, wildebeest and zebras, was a once-in-a-lifetime experience.
A Train to the Coast and Beach Bliss
Our journey from Nairobi to Mombasa by train was another highlight. This scenic ride passes through three national parks, giving us glimpses of elephants and giraffes from the comfort of our seats. Once in Diani, we stayed at the Lantana Galu Beach, a perfect spot to relax after the safari excitement. The pristine beaches, swaying palms, and turquoise waters made it the ideal ending to our adventure.
Kenya offers an incredible mix of wildlife, adventure, and culture. The parks are well-maintained, the scenery is breathtaking, and we felt safe at every step. Whether hiking, cycling, or going on a safari, the country offers unique experiences for all kinds of travelers. The local people were warm and welcoming, always ready to share stories about their culture and traditions. This trip showed us why Kenya is a bucket-list destination—it has something for everyone. The warm weather was perfect for outdoor activities, and we felt completely safe throughout the experience.
Crimson Brook Safaris made our mega holiday seamless and stress-free. From their attention to detail and knowledgeable guides to their flexibility and friendly service, they exceeded our expectations at every turn. Whether it was arranging logistics, offering local expertise, or making sure we had the best experiences, they truly went above and beyond.
This trip was everything we dreamed of and more—thank you, Crimson Brook Safaris, for making it all possible!

Excotic, and positively excoting
Very pleased with knowledgeable guides, wildlife as expected.
Highlights were the visit to the Masai village, and the masai guide in the village.
The lodging did not impress, probably due to my own selection.
I recommend he safari to my friends.

Beautiful culture, fantastic animals!
My partner and I travelled to Kenya for our first ever safari and were not disappointed. Paul from Ways of Africa was very friendly and helpful to create a bespoke package for us to meet our travel needs and budget. The scenery was fabulous and we saw the big 5 animals. Our driver, Dan, was incredibly knowledgeable and professional. We really enjoyed spending so much time with him and learning about his culture. It was an amazing trip overall and would recommend Kenya and Ways of Africa for a safari holiday. Make sure you get an electronic visa before travelling!!

in itself. i then chose the drive in and out option for my second safari which was to amboseli as it is closer to nairobi and i wanted to experience the journey through the kenyan countryside as well as the nature reserves. while the many animals you will encounter are similar in both parks the habitats are vastly different, adding a dimension of flavour to my experience which i was not expecting, the masai mara is large open savanah while amboseli is mainly a large wetland being fed from the snows of kilimanjaro. both destinations displayed their unique charms gloriously. i did not deliberately choose to use use two different tour companies but as i had decided to do two separate safaris i researched them individually and i am happy to report that both tour providers were exemplary in both communication and organisation earning multiple five star reviews each. if you are a newbe to africa and looking for a safari then i can recommend kenya as a very well organised and hospitable destination for this activity.

Magic
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
