Surreal. The beauty and the wildlife but most of all the people will leave you stunned.
The wildlife was spectacular and the way the viewing were arranged by Mararumi safaris was nothing short of exceptional. Our driver and guide, Robin, was amazing. He was so well versed on where to find the animals and birds and was accommodating of all our requests. The places we stayed at amazing and it was a delight to enjoy international cuisines each day, along with the local fare.
The trip to Masai village was a cherry on the top. The way villagers live, how they create/make fire with just wood and stone, their way of life and the way they build the home, was a learning experience for all of us.

Once in a lifetime experience
The wildlife and landscapes are incredible - this was our first safari so not sure how it compares to other countries, but we saw everything we wanted to see. The weather was generally pleasant, a bit cooler with a few more showers than we were expecting but nice to not be sweltering.
The vast majority of people we spoke to were very friendly and customer service is generally very good. We weren't always sure about tipping but a small gesture of appreciation always seemed to go down well.
Visitors should be prepared to be approached by sales people in popular destinations like the beach - they were always very friendly and never aggressive, but some were very persistent which did taint our experience a bit.
We were in Nairobi during the protests, and other than road closures we weren't too affected.

It's not the kind of city you can generally walk around very easily, so as long as you take sensible precautions it isn't a particularly unsafe place to be.

Beautiful country with amazing wildlife.
My trip was absolutely amazing. I went to the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. All three are spectacular but I particularly loved the Maasai Mara. I was amazed at the sheer number of animals we saw.
I went in June and the weather was mostly good, with a couple of drizzly days. The main tour operators I went with were good, but I would recommend that if you book a tour online you make some inquiries as to what exactly the tour includes, as this is not always consistent with the description online.
A number of attractions ( for example the Nairobi National Park) require payment via the eCitizen system with no alternative, so make sure you have internet access/a Kenyan SIM card. The tour operators will usually organise the park fees for you but the one I booked for the Nairobi National Park didn‘t, and it was a real hassle to get in.
There are plenty of attractions in Nairobi so it‘s worth spending a few days there.

unforgettable trip.
Seeing the beauty here, I think it's worth everything. The tour guide was very nice and taught us local dances to make the trip full of laughter.

Best month for Maasai Mara is July and August
In order to catch the great migration and the crossing of the Mara river, the time to visit Kenya is July and August. Its peak season so book 6-months to a year early. You will see such a sheer volume of wildebeest and other grazing mammals as will leave you wondering 'how is it possible'? And of course there are plenty of carnivores following the herd...

Incredible wildlife and country
Amazing adventure in this beautiful country, kind people, wonderful nature and of course animals. We saw all of big five and many many more. We spent 5 days on safari with Moran discoveries and few days on the beach.

Absolutely awe inspiring!
Kenya - Our driver (Charles with BuyMore Adventures) asked us “do you know why it is called a game drive? It’s because sometimes you see the animals and sometimes you dont!” From day 1 we were winners. We got lucky enough to see the “Big 5” in our first 3 days. Every day was better than the one before. We almost got charged by an elephant (he wasn’t all that serious), told off by a black rhino (he was serious), saw a “Tusker” in Amboseli (tusks almost touching the ground). We were too early for the migration but the animals were starting to gather and the difference between day 1 and day 8 was truly amazing. The scenery varies from wide open spaces to almost woodsy, some was lush/green and other areas more desert like. Everyone was so very nice and we loved going to Samburu village and meeting everyone. We also got some really beautiful bead work. Take some candies for the local children who wave to you as you drive by. Before you close your suitcase - take half of the stuff out and leave it. It was our 1st visit to Kenya - but it wont be our last!

Breathtaking experience to be experienced by all.
I absolutely loved everything about my visit to Kenya. The food, atmosphere, people, culture, and animals were amazing. I felt welcomed in every part of the country. The safari was life altering. To be up close to the animals in their habitat was nerve wracking and exhilarating. I went on safari with Tall Maasai Safari. Initially I had concerns because of the faulty communication however in the end it all worked out. My guide Patrick was amazing and I would definitely recommend asking for him as a guide. He was informative and knew where to find all the animals. I saw almost all of the big five except a rhino. We saw lions stalking, attacking, eating and mating! WOW! I am definitely returning to Kenya.

Kenya is a diverse and vibrant country in East Africa, known for its stunning landscapes, rich wild
We were on safari in Kenya, known for its incredible landscapes, rich wildlife and vibrant culture. We spent 2 days in the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of the most famous reserves in the world. It is famous for the annual Great Migration and we were able to see wildebeest, zebra, gazelle and tons of bird species. We were also lucky enough to see four of the Big Five: lions, rhinos, elephants and buffalo.
We also enjoyed 2 days in Amboseli National Park, right at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. It is famous for its large herds of elephants and a wide variety of birds. We also visited Lake Naivasha, which is home to a large population of hippos, and saw them relaxing in the water.
Our tour operator, Camptrek Safaris, was fantastic. They were super professional from the moment we contacted them to request a custom tour and throughout our stay in Kenya, they made our trip amazing.
