Kenya is truly wonderful—I’ll definitely come back! The scenery is beautiful, the food is great, and our driver was excellent. It was a fantastic trip.

Land of breathtaking safari memories

Accomodation and safaris were top notch with all the big 5 seen.The migration was an absolute 7th wonder of the world.The cool breeze meant the high temperatures were very bearable and actually one needed a jacket and beanie at times

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.

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.

Amazing trip to Maasai Mara

5 / 5 5 /5

I had an amazing time in Kenya! From the Great Migration in the Masai Mara to the incredible elephant herds in Amboseli with Mount Kilimanjaro in the background, every destination offered something special.

I went cycling in Hell's Gate National Park and took a boat trip on Lake Naivasha, passing hippos while African fish eagles flew overhead. These are the kinds of experiences you will never forget.

The guides were fantastic, the lodges were excellent, and the service was great throughout the trip. I also met many wonderful people along the way, which made the experience even more special.

Kenya can sometimes feel a little chaotic, but somehow everything works out. You get where you need to be, things run on time, and you get to see the incredible wildlife and landscapes you came for.

From start to finish, it was a fantastic experience. Kenya is a country I would happily return to, and I can highly recommend it to anyone looking for an unforgettable safari and travel experience!

Kenya the friendly destination

5 / 5 5 /5

We had a great time from start to finish from the wildlife of the Masai Mara and Amboseli to the incredible soft white sand beach at Diani. Everybody we came across was polite, helpful and friendly. Getting around can be a bit hairy at times with the state of the roads and the trek to Masai being long and busy. Best to plan ahead where you plan to go and book a guide if it's your first time. Everything is good value but be prepared for a lot of tipping. Currency wise we found it useful to have cash in both dollars and shillings for small buys and tips. We found no issues at all with mosquitos probably as it was the dry season. Food and drink is really good value compared to UK, all being well prepared and presented at all the safari lodges and hotels. Food at the safari lodges, which is included in your trip tends to be of a buffet style with plenty of good choices and options. All in all an enjoyable time and good fun chatting with the local lads about football as their all mad keen on the Premier League. I can highly recommend Kenya as a destination for Safari and beach.

An amazing once in a lifetime experience!

I’ve been to Kenya before and it’s always incredible but to see my wife’s face on every game drive was so special. She was amazed at the wildlife and I’m so glad that she got to experience it as everyone should once in their lifetime! I regret that we didn’t get out to Malindi but maybe next time.
Oh yeah, you must eat at The Carnivore too!

We loved Kenya this is my second time and the place we stayed and the hospitality was superb One thing that may help travellers in future is really look at time of year for animals you want to see , we have done 4 safari’s in different countries, and we picked the one we did ,because you do not go through gates and even with gated safari’s the animals have miles to wander , you are not seeing how it really is , often they are tagged , this has its up side as you are more likely to see more , we took a chance and still saw most of big five , but what we didn’t realise is as the weather changes so does the animal’s behaviour and in the rainy season they tend to go to ground, this year that has started early , we were lucky and missed it but something worth considering

Best experience of our lives

We had the best safari experience ever. We went for 6 days safari to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli and it was absolutely amazing. We were extremely lucky with our guide, George. He was absolutely perfect. He made sure we had the best experience ever, going above and beyond to make sure we could see as many animals as possible, while always ensuring we were happy. This has been the best decision we've ever made and the experience wouldn't have been the same without George!!!
