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

to life.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.

Unforgettable Kenyan Adventure – Perfectly Planned by Will, Expertly Guided by Chris!
Will from Incredible Africa Trail was the mastermind behind the entire trip. From the initial planning stages, he took the time to understand exactly what we wanted — and delivered far beyond our expectations. No request was too big or too small (e.g. train tickets, visits to Hell`s Kitchen...). Will made sure that all of our special wishes were taken into account, even when they went beyond his own services. Whether it was arranging specific accommodations, organizing a climb of Mount Kenya, or setting up unique experiences through his personal network – he handled it all with care, professionalism, and incredible attention to detail.
Once we arrived in Kenya, we were in the best possible hands with Chris, our guide and driver. Chris was absolutely fantastic – extremely knowledgeable, always

helpful, and deeply passionate about his country. He made every moment of our safari exciting, safe, and full of insight. His energy, humor, and kindness made us feel like we were traveling with a friend who genuinely cared about our experience.We explored Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru National Park – each one offering its own unique landscapes and wildlife. From wide open savannahs and views of Mount Kilimanjaro to encounters with elephants, lions, flamingos, and so much more – every day brought new highlights, perfectly timed and seamlessly organized.
The lodges and camps Will selected were all excellent – comfortable, scenic, and save. Every transition between locations was smooth, and we could just relax and enjoy the adventure, knowing everything was taken care of.
This was not just a holiday – it was a truly once-in-a-lifetime experience, brought to life by two incredibly dedicated people. We wholeheartedly recommend Will for anyone looking to plan a customized, stress-free, and truly unforgettable trip to Kenya — and if you're lucky enough to have Chris as your guide, you're in for something very special.
Asante sana, Will and Chris from Incredible Africa Trails! We’ll never forget this journey.

Unforgettable safari & warm hospitality in magical Kenya
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!

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.

The Trip of a Lifetime, But There are Some Things to Know Before You Go
My wife and I had an amazing time in the Maasai Mara and surrounding area. The wildlife was abundant, the landscape beautiful, and the local Masai people are very friendly. It was the trip of a lifetime, and as a photographer I couldn't be happier at the images I was able to get. Believe me when I say that the good outweighs the bad and the ugly, which are commented on below. I highly recommend a trip to Kenya, but the comments below are just to give a realistic picture regarding some of the challenges you can expect.
The Bad:
The main drawback is that it can feel overwhelming when you are approached by so many people trying to sell merchandise every time your vehicle stops when you are outside the game reserve. Also, keep in mind that there are no services near the game reserve for pulling out cash. Even our lodge did not have an ATM. Even if there were an ATM, I found out later that my ATM card will not work in Kenya, as my US bank refuses to

do business in the country. Also, the lodge could not break larger bills in American dollars. So bring enough small bills for tips, which you will need everywhere.The Ugly:
For someone who has not been to an underdeveloped country, the extreme poverty can be a bit jolting. My wife and I have traveled extensively, so we knew what to expect. But with extreme poverty comes the need for security when you are a tourist. We stayed overnight in Nyrobi before heading out to the game reserve and I've never seen so much security screening required just to enter the hotel property. The vehicle was searched by security staff. Then to enter the hotel you go thru TSA style security with bags being scanned and stepping thru a scanner. You can't access the elevator or even the hallway to your room without a key card. That is good for our protection, but sad to see it as being necessary due to criminal elements in the city. We never felt unsafe outside the hotel as long as we were with our guide. However, we would have felt very unsafe without him.

Beautiful country. Great for Safari
My only disappointment comes from the specific tour/safari operator who didn’t meet my expectations
