wild world, making you excited. Good memory will last a quite long time.
This trip was higher than what we expected. Our guide Samuel has amazing skill for seeking out wild animals. We saw adult male, pride, cheetah, leopard... too numerous to count. The special thing is we have seen the crossing of mara river under our guide's incredible knowledge / experience and drive skill.
The travel was perfect, happiness throughout the entire journey. Say thank you, Samuel!

Kenya is nothing but magical!
Kenya is definitely one of those places, specially the savannah, the actual beauty of which you cannot capture through your camera lens no matter what you do. It settles deep into your soul in ways you cannot imagine. You lose track of time, and you lose your connection with this artificial world. You only exist in the wild, alongside your oldest pals and get a good whiff of how far humans have strayed away from what they were supposed to be.
Safety however is an issue outside the parks/resorts and the government should work upon providing a smooth law and order for tourists who pay a hefty amount for their experiences in Kenya. We, along with 100s of other tourists, got hijacked by a bunch of local protesters on our way from Masai Mara to Lake Nakuru. We missed our evening game drive

that day because we stood still in that hijacked patch for more than 4 hours. It was a tense situation as we had kids along and we were scared that things may go south during the protest as no government official or anyone from tourism board came to rescue any of us from the situation.These kinds of experiences within the country create a distaste for an otherwise beautiful experience.
Nevertheless, our trip to Kenya was fantastic and it was nothing less than a wonderful surprise for all of us. The weather, the hospitality inside the resorts and lodges was excellent.
We wish to visit Kenya in the future too.

Nice place for safari but stay away from beaches!
We had a problem with one of our transfers from Mombasa to Nairobi (was supposed to be by first cass train and it was paid 10 months in advance to Silas) but the day before we had to buy a flight ticket by ourselves just to avoid to join a 10 hour bus! By the way Silas recognized us some money back.
The rest of the organization was just perfect!
We really appreciate the animals and the experience, the structures we stayed, we only think that kenyan people are not a very welcoming (I am not saying they are not polite!!) ….. most of them are just doing their job to get money without any kind of care or love…. we experienced some (just 4/5) of them which really liked their job, and it was very clear: they were just adorable!!!

the very bad thing about the coastline: ladies and gentlemen get ready to be constantly bothered by people for every kind of thing… the just try to make you pay for something, also to walk behind you just to make sure their friends won’t bother you while walking on the beach!The beach in Watamu was full of plastic, it was everywhere!!!!! That’s unacceptable!
Outside of the hotel (we stayed in Watamu and Diani Beach) is just a mess: people driving like crazy, roads are destroyed, people constantly try to approach you for some money or trying to sell something, very very disappointing and stressful.
Our vacation was ruined by people who live there, the same people that prefer bother tourists than find a job and try to make their country a welcoming destination!
We got back with one big certain: WE WILL NOT BE BACK IN KENYA ANYMORE!

Great safari
We made a beautiful trip across several parks from Masai Mara to Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo East and we finish with a few days in Watamu.
We really enjoyed the parks, maybe we found Tsavo less interesting at the end, we had very long hours trasnferring from one site to the other, but the scenery was always entertaining. We were able to see all kind of animals also thanks to our guide Daniel (Beacon Safari).
We also enjoyed our time in Watamu even if the presence of the beach boys can result a little annoying, always coming after you without leaving.

Excellent 15 day safari covering parks in the north east, central and south of Kenya
Best memories organised a super holiday with a 15 day safari and 6 days on the coast. Everything was very good in all of the parks even the medium level ones. Food was good and the people very friendly. Anthony was an excellent driver/guide and we literally saw everything from the big and and ugly five to kills and elephants mating.

Stunning country
My trio was spectacular, we hot to see plenty of wildlife and enjoy the nature.
The only downside was the hotels offered, i chose a middle budget safari and however the hotels werent dirty or anything, they werent super clean. Also they offered me on my quotation different hotels to the ones that i end up sleeping into.
The food was ok.
If you get the chance to do the hot air balloon ride, do it. You wont regret it at all. It was by far on of my highlights.
The people were also friendly and i felt safe in the country most of the time as female solo traveler.

WOW, exceeded our expectations
We have just arrived home after a month in Kenya and South Africa. We are so pleased we added Kenya as it was without doubt the best for wildlife in all the places we visited. We flew to Nairobi, went to Lake Navashia, the Lake Nakaru. (not sure about correct spelling) Masa Mara, Amboseli. It was fabulous and made more special by our guide John, a Masai Mara warrior who just knew how to spot an animal from great distances. Just amazing, we saw double of everything except the Leopard which was just bad luck and timing.
I would urge anyone who is looking for games drives to choose Kenya. A couple of reasons, they don't allow game hunters which was paramount for me. They can go off road unlike all the other places we visited, stuck on a bitumen road hoping to see something! Don't waste your time and money. Research before you go as it's something I didn't realize. Kruger, Chobe, Namibia all only have on road drives so it's difficult to see unless the animals are crossing the road.
