Must see
Our overall experience was really good, but mostly because of the wildlife and the scenery. To be able to meet these georgeus animals in their natural habitat, it is just an amazing experience - without words. Just have to see.
On the other hand, some annoying experience is also followed our trip. For example the daily tricks, frauds - like the immigration officer just put the 50 dollars directly into his pocket, when he realized that we are two of us, and we are paying by cash.
Also was really disappointing to see, that on the private tour - where we pay 150 USD for the trip and for the entry tickets to the national park - our tour operator bought us "children resident tickets".
So instead of paying for the national park 30 USD, he only paid 3 USD and just split the 27 USD with the other guys... And after that, we got a 1 USD meal, without any option to choose.

A thrilling experience!
A thrilling experience! face-to-face with lions, elephants, cheetahs, leopards, hippos, zebras, giraffes, antelopes...in the wonderful scenario of Amboseli, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Amboseli is a relatively small park, but with so many different landscapes, included a dry lake. Masai Mara is an evocative place, where you understand the real meaning of infinite. Our guide Steve made his best to let us see all the animals possible, and also to enjoy the different landscapes. While in Masai Mara we experienced a rainy day, but our driver was great in driving the muddy tracks and wade across small rivers. Accommodation was also great during the whole trip. An unforgettable trip!

KENYA AGAIN !!
I've been so lucky, in selecting the tour agent "Kenya Walking", because they have proposed a well scheduled overall program, acceptable prices, good lodges and by chance, I got a very well experienced driver/guide, Mr. Paulo, who has made my trip to Kenya, really great !!
After this first visit to Kenya, I have now the intention to organize a future trip to Kenya, Tanzania and Uganda and spend all the time in visiting the national parks, because the scenery and wildlife, are so thrilling.
I only have an advice to the future tourists : if you will be going to visit the National Museum in Nairobi (very interesting), please do not leave ANY money or valuables in your bag, once you will be requested to leave it under the Museum custody, at the entrance !! Unfortunately I've experienced a bitter surprise.....
KENYA AGAIN .....

Awesome... must expierence one in your lifetime
We booked our 9 days safari from Kenya walking safaris ... the whole expierence was very professionally managed...Special thanks to Mr. Otineho from Kenya walking safaris...
We went to Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Naivasha... at all places the accommodations were very good... our tour Guide Mr. Benson was awesome... he was very attentive and took good care of us .... we were lucky to see the big 5 and many many more animals in their natural habitat ... the trip to Hells Gate National Park was a very different and would highly recommend it.
We would strongly recommend to book through Kenya Survivors waking Safari and ask for Mr. Benson as your tour guide.

Amazing!
We went to Kenya specifically for safari on the Masai Mara. I wouldn't recommend anyone spend time in Nairobi except to see the Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Sanctuary. The selection of wildlife on the Mara wasout of this world, we had a fantastic driver who knew exactly where to go and we saw the big 5 all within the first 2 days. Good choice of accommodation also, we went mid-range and felt like it was luxury!

Our guide did a great job trying to make sure we saw all the animals possible.
The vehicle was nice for the long drives but also made seeing the animals really easy. We had a wonderful guide John and Patrick who helped point out animals and made sure we had everything we needed. The accommodations and food were fine, you get what you pay for. There were some changes to our accommodations that would have been nice to made aware of ahead of time. Since we were coming from a different country the communication could have been better but overall a good experience.

Awesome experience
All good except few areas of improvement.
1. Electricity should be available in the camp 24 hours
2. Trash can should be available all arround in the camp
3. Food quality can be improved

Amazing wildlife but a very disorganized tour.
I visited Masai Mara during the great migration and it was an amazing experience. I have been to a lot of national parks in Africa including Kruger and the Serengeti and Masai Mara was the best experience. Although I may be overly influenced by the fact that this is the only time I have been able to see a leapord up close. The down side was our tour operator, Karibu Tours. They seemed to be completely disorganised and modified the tour to suit their needs over their clients. In addition our guide/driver was very poor at keeping us informed and answering our questions. The other sites we visited were not as interesting especially Lake Nakuru which is no longer visited by the millions of flamingoes it is famous for as the water level has risen and they have relocated to another lake where it is easier to feed.
