You'll see everything--animals, birds and more. The people are friendly and lovely and the scenery goes on forever.

Kenya was an excellent safari destination for our honeymoon. With lots of animals, diverse landscapes in the different parks and accomodations available for all levels.

In addition to its vast expanses of protected land, Kenya is full of wonderfully nice people. We departed for our safari from Nairobi which has a major airport and were very pleased with our experience from beginning to end. We were treated like kings and accommodated in every way. All of the locations we went to on our safari were excellent and had opportunities to see lots of wildlife and stay in interesting, beautiful hotel accommodations.
Kenya has everything you could want in a safari, though another popular destination is Tanzania, where you will find ngorogoro crater and the serengeti. In my mind, they are equal. They have all the major wildlife and amazing people. I would highly recommend a safari trip!

Tons of opportunities for wildlife viewing, even just driving down the highway.

Where you’re guaranteed to have the classic African safari experience
The most common way to get around in Kenya, if you’re on safari, is by light airplane – and your flights will usually be arranged by the lodges and camps you stay at. Only a handful of visitors seem to travel independently by road; it’s often very slow going between the parks because of the sheer distances, and the poor quality of some of the roads can turn what should be a two-hour journey into

at least double that. Information on camping can be hard to come by and you’ll need to be self-sufficient as there are often no amenities in many of the parks’ campsites. Having said that, little compares to the joy and sense of freedom that comes with exploring and setting up camp in some of the wildest parts of Kenya’s remotest parks.What Kenya is less known for is its beaches – surprising, because they really are beautiful. Long, sandy stretches and pretty blue bays watched over by both baobabs and palm trees make for truly memorable holidays, and it’s well worth taking a few days after your safari to unwind further along the Indian Ocean.

The beauty of the landscape and the variety of wildlife left me breathless. I have never been on safari in another country to compare, but in Kenya they really value the tourism industry and they work hard to make sure you have the best experience possible. The tour guides are well trained and very knowledgeable about all the wildlife and the parks/reserves. The staff at all the lodges also worked hard to provide a high level of service. Safety is also the highest priority. Also, in my opinion, no safari trip is complete without a trip to the David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust which raises baby elephant orphans. It's located just outside Nairobi and is the perfect way to either begin or end your safari experience. I will be going back to Kenya for sure!

Relatively safe country and quite developed 'safari' business. Sure, there may be other places and destinations, but Kenya is so far appears to be very good.

There is a lot of wildlife in the parks in the south. You need to have some luck and be in the right season, but it is impossible not to be excited. I am not a real safari man, but even though I liked visiting some of the parks. The 'Bush vibe' is less in the south, it is all very organized. There are a lot of tours going around and Kenya gets a lot of tourists. The north is different, not many people venture north to the Turkana area. It takes time and effort to go there and besides that, most people go to Kenya for the wildlife that is more in the south.
