wonderful and memorable holiday
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.

Great Safari Experience
All in all my visit to Kenya was positive experience. Safari in Masai Mara was definitely a highlight of the trip. I did so called joined safari, which pretty much is a collection of different tour agencies packing their tourists into one car. Doing safari this way was the best decision of the trip - i met amazing people on the way and we had so much fun together. Highly recommended solution for solo travelers on a budget!
As far as a safari experience, Masai Mara provides it all. Wild life is incredible - from the big 5, through smaller animals and birds! Masai Mara is home to more than 500 species of birds according to official records.
I also had one extra day of safari to Lake Nakuru - not as spectacular as Masai Mara, but very pleasant.

So much to see
This was my third trip to Kenya and it seems to get better every time! We went to four different parks/reserves (Samburu, Maasai Mara, Aberdares (moorlands), and Lake Nakuru.) All were very different. Samburu was the most intimate, with abundant game and fascinating landscape (I'd stay at the Samburu Intrepids again in a heartbeat!). Maasai Mara is so very spectacular (wildebeest migration season), with countless animals in every direction. Entim Camp was perfectly positioned and had great service. In the Aberdares, we stayed in the Kenya Wildlife Service 'lodge' -- a unique spot in the high moorlands (quiet, solitary, a world away). Our final stop was Lake Nakuru where we finally saw rhinos.

Beautiful country
I went on a 16 day safari with Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris and was very happy with the overall experience. The wildlife was amazing and the food and transportation was really good. I ended up going to Ngorongoro crater in Tanzania on the first part of the trip and might have skipped this had I known how long it would take to get there and the hassle of the border crossings. By the time I arrived I think we only had 2.5 hours in the park before we had to leave. Aside from that though, the rest of the trip was great. Went to Amboseli, Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Samburu, Lake Naivasha, and Maasai Mara. I think Tsavo East and Maasai Mara were the highlights. Each park was unique and offered different types of habitat and wildlife. My guide Tom was great and made sure I was well taken care of. I would definitely book with them again in the future.
An amazing country
Loved everything about the trip with the following exceptions..........Too many guide changes. Wanted Eric start to finish, the others were limited in their communication and social skills............Some days were just to much driving, at least 2 were just travel days only...........Be honest about the bucket showers in your description of certain facilities and also, if I were a birder, I would have been very disappointed that there were no Flamingo's, as you prominently display in your advertising. These reasons are why I gave an overall 4 Star rating instead of 5....... I would also like to note that I was happy to give my business to Kenyan and Tanzanian business owners, as opposed to safari companies owned outside of Africa.
Great animals, great nature and especially great people
We had a 5 days trip to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. The Landscape, the animals and the people where amazing!
Saw more wildlife than imagined
The wildlife we saw was amazing, it was just like being in the middle of a BBC animal planet doco. The scenery was beautiful. The camp we stayed in was amazing, so cool to have a tent with a bathroom. The food was fantastic, always got to love the all you eat buffets. It was the most amazing experience and I feel so lucky to of been to this special part of the world.
The experience with karibu has exceeded all my expectations , God bless you.
The wildlife, scenery, weather, accommodations, transportation, our guide, all were excelent however the food could improve but not bad either.
