Amazing beyond expectations!

This was a bucket list vacation for me. My first impression of the Kenyan people was wonderful. Everyone was so polite, so sweet and welcoming. We had some great talks with them about their lives, their families, jobs, etc. It is such a warm friendly country. Every driver/guide we had spoke English pretty well. Sometimes their accents made it hard to understand, but with lots of humor and give and take, we found it was delightful. They were all so well informed and keen eyed, finding wildlife at every turn. We visited three parks, Nairobi National Park, Masai Mara and Amboseli - each unique - each beautiful - each full of amazing wildlife. For those with back or neck issues, it is worth mentioning that the roads through the park are rough - sometimes really really rough. But, that’s the way they should be - it’s the animals home, and we are just visiting. I often felt like a piece of popcorn in a popcorn popper - but it was all in good fun and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

Kenya Safari Parks offer a wide variety of habitats and wildlife encounters

June was a perfect time to experience a multi-park safari as past the rainy season and cooler temperatures. Starting in Nairobi we stayed 2 nights at the Garden Hilton near the airport before starting our private 6 day safari to Amboseli, Nakuru and Massai Mara with Erwin Safaris. A lot of time was needed for the driving due to the congested roads and the poor condition of the roads near Nakuru. Our Safari accommodations included very attentive staff, free wifi, comfortable well appointed rooms and excellent buffet style meals. Overall we had a great experience seeing and photographing an amazing variety of wildlife while learning about the everyday lives of rural Kenyans.

I had an amazing experience during my time in Kenya. I visited Amboseli National Park and all I can say is it was an unforgettable experience. The booking was smooth and seamless. The weather was good although a bit cold in the morning. I was able to see the big five amongst other animals although it was peak season, there were a lot of people. The accommodation and food were great. The tour operator showed great knowledge of the destination, provided great service and ensured everything was well organised from start to finish. The experience was enjoyable and memorable. I will definitely recommend, and visit again.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An Unforgettable Maasai Mara Safari Experience

I had an incredible Maasai Mara safari with my best friend, and it was truly a trip to remember. From the moment we booked with Mr. Lemmy Mataiwa, everything was well organized, seamless, and professionally handled.

A special appreciation goes to our guide, Mr. Geeman "Makucha," whose knowledge, friendliness, and passion for wildlife made every game drive exciting. He ensured we had the best opportunities to see the animals and made the entire experience enjoyable.

Sharing this adventure with my best friend made it even more special. We created beautiful memories that we will cherish forever.

Thank you to the entire team for such an amazing experience. We highly recommend this safari to anyone looking for an unforgettable Maasai Mara adventure.

Rugged but Beautiful scenery with abundant wildlife

Kenya is a very beautiful country. Whether you are a seasoned Safari tourist or if this is your first safari experience, there is no shortage of excitement. Just the amount and variety of animals you see on any game drive will leave you amazed. Great migration is something that cannot be explained but has to be experienced. Quality of roads could be better but on the other hand, it restricts careless fast drives that would risk safety of the animals. Overall we enjoyed every bit of the time we spent in Kenya.

Perfect place for a first time safari trip

Visit Kenya for my first safari trip in Africa. All visits to national parks were satisfying since I could see the big five and also enjoy the other wildlife appearance. Less crowd because the great migration just about to start. Weather was pleasant even though a bit cold in the morning, but as sun went up the sky was clear for taking many good pictures and the temperature was not too hot that you still be able to enjoy the game drives.

Kenya is a place where nature, wildlife, and culture come together in the most unforgettable way.

Kenya exceeded my expectations. The Maasai Mara was absolutely breathtaking, with incredible wildlife sightings including lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, and even a leopard. Seeing animals in their natural habitat was an unforgettable experience.

One of the highlights was also visiting a Maasai village. Learning about their culture and traditions added a meaningful human dimension to the trip beyond the wildlife.

The landscapes were just as impressive as the animals, from the Great Rift Valley to the endless plains of the Mara. Our guides were knowledgeable and passionate, making every game drive both exciting and educational.

I visited during the dry season, and wildlife viewing was excellent. If you're considering your first African safari, Kenya is a fantastic choice. I would happily return.

I would highly recommend this service. I did a masi mara day trip from Nairobi. It was a packed day. The pick up from the airport was on time and professional. The actual safari was conducted by a knowledgeable driver. They explained the behaviours of the mammals, reptiles and birds that we saw.

Beautiful views, highly recommend. Challenging climb and adequate altitude acclimatization recommended. Consider private transport from Nairobi as shared public transport can be challenging if not accustomed. Really worth it, such a beautiful place!
