My Safari in Kenya – A Journey we will Never Forget
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.
