Kenya offers absolutely stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife, and a lot of safari sightings

Kenya is truly a dream destination for nature and wildlife lovers. The landscapes are absolutely breathtaking — from endless savannahs to dramatic escarpments and lush greenery, the scenery constantly amazed us.
The wildlife is just as stunning. I've been on safaris in other countries before, but Kenya offered by far the most sightings. We were lucky to see lions, elephants, cheetahs, and even leopards up close, often within the same day. The sheer abundance and variety of animals was incredible.
One of the absolute highlights was witnessing the wildebeest river crossing — a powerful, once-in-a-lifetime experience that left us speechless.
We also had the chance to learn more about the fascinating culture of the Maasai people, which added real depth and perspective to our journey.
We visited in August, during the migration season, and while that brought amazing wildlife moments, it also meant certain popular sightings attracted many other safari vehicles.
Read more In some spots, the number of cars and the sound of engines did affect the experience slightly — sometimes scaring the animals or disrupting the atmosphere. Still, the beauty and uniqueness of each encounter far outweighed those moments.
Kenya stole our hearts — for its nature, its people, and its raw, wild magic. Highly recommended!

The Maasai Mara is a breathtaking place where endless savannahs, unforgettable wildlife encounters.

Visiting the Maasai Mara was an unforgettable experience. The vast scenery of endless golden plains, dotted with acacia trees and framed by dramatic skies, feels almost unreal. The absolute highlight was witnessing the incredible wildlife — from lions resting in the shade to elephants crossing the savannah, and even the famous wildebeest migration, which is a spectacle of nature unlike anything else. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also very attentive to safety, which made me feel comfortable at all times, even when we were just a few metres away from big cats. What impressed me most was the balance between adventure and security — the park allows you to feel close to nature while still being in good hands. Overall, the Maasai Mara is a place I would recommend to anyone looking for breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable encounters, and a safe, well-guided safari experience.

My Safari in Kenya – A Journey we will Never Forget
We have travelled to many places, but nothing compares to the magic I felt in Kenya. I booked a 3-day safari through Safari Bookings that took me from Mombasa to Emali by train and onward to Amboseli in Jeep, every moment felt like stepping into a nature documentary.

Amboseli: Elephants and Kilimanjaro Amboseli was a dream. One morning, we watched a herd of elephants cross the dusty plains with Mount Kilimanjaro glowing in the background. If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing elephants roam freely beneath the towering silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park is where that dream comes to life. From the moment we entered the park, the landscape felt cinematic—dusty plains dotted with acacia trees, shimmering swamps, and the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro looming like a guardian in the distance. Our driver was phenomenal, effortlessly spotting wildlife and sharing stories that brought the ecosystem

The highlight? Watching a herd of elephants cross the marshlands at sunset. Calves playfully splashed in the water while older matriarchs led the way with quiet authority. It was humbling and beautiful. We also saw lions lounging in the shade, stalking prey in the distance, and flocks of flamingos painting the wetlands pink. Birdwatchers will be in heaven—Amboseli is home to over 400 bird species. The park is well-maintained, and the lodges nearby offer stunning views and warm hospitality. It’s dusty, yes—but that’s part of the charm. Bring a mask, scarf, a good camera, and an open heart. Amboseli isn’t just a destination—it’s a revelation. If you love elephants, giraffe, gazelles, zebras, monkeys’ hippopotamus and many more animals roaming freely and dramatic landscapes, and raw, untamed beauty, this is the safari for you.

People & Culture
Beyond the wildlife, the Kenyan people made this trip unforgettable. Very friendly helpful, our driver was brilliant knew the route and knowledge of most animal behaviours and their history exceptional driver/guide.

Lodges & Comfort
Each lodge was thoughtfully chosen — from canvas tents under the stars to eco-lodges with panoramic views. The food was fresh, the staff were attentive, and the evenings were filled with laughter and storytelling.
Final Reflection Kenya didn’t just show me animals — it showed me life in its rawest, most beautiful form. If you’re considering a safari, don’t hesitate. Kenya will change you.

Kenya is an amazing destination where every day feels like an adventure. The wildlife parks, from the Masai Mara to Amboseli, are full of incredible animals and unforgettable scenery, with Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. Beyond the safaris, the local culture is rich and welcoming; the warmth of the Kenyan people makes the experience truly special. The weather was generally pleasant, and I felt safe and well taken care of throughout my trip. Highly recommended for anyone who wants both natural beauty and cultural depth!

We booked our Safari through Henry who organised the tented camps we wished to stay in for the ever changing number of guests we had! As no one could make up their mind. Patience of a saint. We organised drivers as we had to travel from one National Park to another, but you could use the camp guides if preferred or you are staying in one camp for your trip and they probably know where the game is, as working there every day. Camps inside your chosen park work well as you can stay in the parks longer before they close at 6pm. So if you are staying outside a park you might want to have a whole day in, with a picnic to see the most of it, often it takes 1.5hrs to get to the centres where the game is, especially if just a short stay like we had. Also it’s very important to get new Safari 4x4s with lifting tops not open sides. With USB charging points as your phones will go flat over a full day. Your guide’s if not camp guides are key, they will be showing you all the key spots and talking
Read more about the habitat and animals, check out if they are a qualified guides or trackers. Safari bookings were great and if you follow these tips you will have a wonderful trip which ever safari park you visit. Tsavo East was a huge savannah with much ground to cover but most of the game and elephant is along the Galana river. Amboseli is much smaller, with its lakes and flat marsh, provides for hippo and elephant and most species of antelope. We didn’t see Lion in Amboseli but caught a glimpse of Hyena but the wading birds are beautiful and a wide range of species with flamingo and pelican amongst the hippo if your a birder. Our camp Discovery Camp delightful and simple with a fire pit and pool and importantly owned and run by local Kenyans inside the park for early or night game drives.

An Absolutely Amazing Experience!!

Our trip to Kenya was amazing and exceeded my wildest expectations! The safari at the Masai Mari did not disappoint as we saw all of the Big Five. It was stunning to see a pride of lions, who had just taken down a buffalo, devour the beast before our very eyes. To see the rhino, running free (and as fast as our vehicle) elicited oohs and ahs from our entire vehicle. We also visited Lake Nakuru and witnessed it diversity of wildlife and all of the different birds. To witness the vast expanse of the Great Rift Valley was breathtaking. Our final stop was Lake Naivasha where we were overwhelmed by the flora and the fauna, and just the natural beauty of the place. The locals were super friendly, very welcoming, and extremely humble, and made you feel welcome in their country. The food was delicious, and I recommend sampling some of the local dishes for a unique gastronomical experience. Overall, I am very satisfied with my Kenyan experience and have already began making plans to return for
