A chance to discover another world
We had 3 days out in safari and were fortunate nice comfortable weather.
We stayed in 3 lodges/ hotels organised by the tour operator and the facilities snd good In them all was surprisingly good,
Each day we took a different route on Safari and had a friendly helpful Driver. He was very flexible in what we wanted to do. We had our own vehicle, just the two of us.
The Driver had the experience of where on the Safari to take us to ensure that we saw a wide range of animals. He ensured that we were able to see all the main ones as well as many others.
Our dates were just too late to catch the migration crossing . There were a small number Left who were looking to cross but did not because

of the presence of crocodiles..The scenery on the Safari, sorry, peaceful, which we enjoyed, but naturally you have to be ready for a lot of driving all day because it’s a very big place. For that reason to have a comfortable vehicle and ideally a private tour makes the experience more comfortable.. you will experience the animals in a natural habitats in their daily lives which is mainly eating the grassland or sleeping. There is a via variety from warthogs and ostrich running around to the mini giraffes gracefully ambling across the plains.
It was surprising that after three days of driving across the wild countryside, we ended up feeling rested and having experience something unique.

Affordable, enjoyable, breath of fresh air, and memorable.
Kenya was laid back to the point that everything going on in the world didn't seem to matter much. People were nice. Infrastructure was poor.
We went off season, so the safari experience was quite toned down but still enjoyable.
Now we are inquisitive what the high season experience might be like. Will be back to Kenya some day soon.

Heaven of wild life
It was our first time to see so many wild life living freely, harmoniously and happily. It was exciting to see the families of lions and elephants, and so many wildebeests marching in the same direction. Kenya did a good job in protecting these beautiful wild life for mankind and the world!

The ZOO of the world
The big five, the ugli five and lot more in a 7 days-safari. Marvelous safaris at NP Masai Mara, Lake Nakaru, Lake Naivasha, Hell's gate and NP Amboseli. Kenya is the giant ZOO of the world. You can see it all.
It was a superb trip. Because of the animals we could see from close, but also the tour it self. Even the budget variant offers comfortable accomodations with tents (including beds, toilet, shower) and middle class hotels. The Jeeps are handy on the off the road paths of the NP's. The roof goes up, standing you get a perfect view on the animals. The driver is also the guide. He had al lot of knowledge about the wild.
Food is good, but not that varied. The roads are busy with slow trucks. So it demands a careful driver and it takes time to go from A to B. Nairobi is nice to visit for one day, in my opinion. Most come specialy for the wonderful world ZOO Kenya offers and you won't be disappionted!!

Wonderful wildlife
We had a very nice safari. Elephants and flamingo sightings were especially delightful. Our guide Shaddy was really wonderful. We had planned a full day safari. As it turned out during our safari we got a message from our airline saying ours flight that night was cancelled, rescheduled for the following morning. We had been in Madagascar for two and a half weeks, were on our way home to the USA. Shaddy found us a hotel near airport with a late night restaurant and a shuttle. He settled us in before he left us. He went above and beyond.

One of the best places for seeing wildlife.
We did the trip to Kenya in September to see the great migration. However, we couldn’t see the migration, but our Safari driver helped us to see all the big five and much more.
The stay in the premium tent was amazing.

Unbeatable wildlife
Maasai Mara, lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha were amazing. Saw almost everything we wanted to see besides a leopard. Sadly driving through towns and cities, it does not seem like much of the money generated from so much tourism is used to improve the livelihoods of locals. However, locals were very friendly and all spoke great English

Kenya is a real dream!
We had a great experience with the agency, despite a few hiccups (a strike, a bolt in the Jeep's tire, etc.).
The drivers were all highly skilled and knew the parks like the back of their hand! This really helped us spot all the wildlife, too.
We were also very happy with the accommodation—aside from the restrictions on electricity and hot water, but that’s standard throughout the country!

Very friendly people and country with great nature.
Transfer and Lodge was perfect! Driver was on time every day and was forced to show us the nature and animals. The focus from me was to fotgraph the red belied parrot. The driver shows me that birds and placed the car for good pictures.

Great wildlife and scenery, but be prepared for rough roads and a few travel inconveniences.
Kenya is a very interesting destination, especially for wildlife viewing. The national parks and reserves offer great chances to see animals, and the scenery can be impressive, particularly around Amboseli and the Maasai Mara.
The tourism industry is quite well developed, with many lodges, safari companies and experienced guides. However, traveling can be tiring. Some roads are extremely bumpy and dusty, and long drives between destinations can take more energy than expected.
The weather in August was generally comfortable, with cooler mornings and pleasant temperatures during the day. Accommodation standards varied but were mostly fine.
Overall, Kenya was a worthwhile trip with some excellent experiences, but it is not always an easy or comfortable destination to travel around.
