I & my husband visited Kenya in early Oct, it's our first anniversary and belated honeynoon :)
we booked our first Sarafi trip with Wildebeest, out guide is Daniel and he's awesome!!!! he knows a lot about the wildlife, and we learnt to be patient in front of the wild.
we met all big 5s and the migration, we met a lot of lovely safari animal and everything goes very well!!!
accommodation is in different styles in different days, we stayed in tents, courtyard, and the even alien huts!!
we do enjoy every minutes during our time in Kenya, and we will be there again very soon!!

Wildlife and scenary leave speachless, amazing! The weather is perfect when i was there last october 2016, accomodations are okay according to the price i paid, i think food was not as amazing as i imagined, perhaps it was just tourists food and not local and authentic kenyan food. The transport of the safari i booked, they picked me up at my residence more than 1 hour later, and in the way out of Nairobi the vehicole that transported us stoped working 3 times, and 3 times the driver called for a nother vehicole and we had to changed the 3 times to another van, all this lost time made us arrived to the camp very late and we entered the Maasai Mara Park just for one hour and could not enjoy it because we were driving too fast. We haven't given any reasonable solution from the driver to compensate the lost time, so we prscticaly paid 3 days of entry to the Park and used only one, because the last day driver told us we need to leave early. In the way back, entering to Nairobi, the car
Read more stoped working again and we were about another 45 minutes waiting in the middle of the road to get the car fixed. It was evident that the vehicles that we used were not in good conditions for a safari tour.

I particularly enjoyed the Rift Valley and certainly visiting the Massi tribe.

A first rate safari destination - excellent wildlife and great diversity in natural scenery

We (myself, wife and a 6 yr. old daughter) travelled to Kenya in August of this year. We booked our safari through Lucy from Serene East Africa for 3 different locations (Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara). Apart from our flights to/out of Kenya, all other logistics was managed by Lucy who we found to be extremely responsive and client focused. Rinus, our guide and driver was knowledgeable, punctual and most importantly, patient with us (considering that it was our first safari experience). The lodges were quite comfortable, food was great and service was first rate throughout. Other than the long drives between the 3 locations (note to self - next time, spend more time in safari and less time on road), the overall experience was positive. Will definitely recommend Serene East Africa and Lucy to my friends/family travelling to Kenya for safari experience.

This short review cannot do justice to the wildlife and natural beauty of Kenya. Its something that needs to be
Read more 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.

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.

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

My sister and I decided on the 7-Day Masai Mara/Nakuru/Naivasha/Amboseli Safari/Tour and overall it was amazing. Masai Mara was so incredible...this park is a must see while in Kenya. I would spend 2 full days here as the amount of animals is so incredible. we went during the migration and that in itself is a site to see. Amboseli has it's own incredible features, such as the watering hole...what an experience to see all of the animals drinking and playing and bathing at the watering hole.

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
Read more 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 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.

A beautiful country with magnificent wildlife.

The wildlife was spectacular.
The quality of the accommodations was highly variable but all were clean.
The roads leading into masai marathon and samburu national parks were extremely bumpy and axle breaking. Very hard on the small van we were driving in.
My guide was a Masai and he was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the wild animals and where to find them.
