We saw the big 5 and more!

We did the Nairobi to Diani beach 5 day safari, you pay extra for train. We were astonished that we saw 2 leopards and a cheetah! And a rhino very close up in Nakuru! Definitely do Masai Mara and Nakuru. Amboseli is much less fast paced mainly for elephants and Kilimanjaro. Our guide James took us to the best spots and made sure we saw all the animals, he was confident at finding the animals with 20 years experience, even if he was shy, it didn’t matter as main thing for us was to see the animals and he was amazing at that. Make sure to bring camera lens and binoculars to see animals far away and for memories.

The ZOO of the world

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 4 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5

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!!

An unforgettable experience

We spent our honeymoon in Kenya and did a 5-day tour.
Gideon, our guide, picked us up at the hotel and provided everything for us. He answered all our questions, not only about the animals but also about the country and its people. His knowledge as a native Kenyan was very valuable.
The lodges were all satisfying and the game drives were stunning. Gideon always tried to give us the best view of all the animals.
One lodge very spontaneousely couldn't accommodate us, but Laura the coordinator found a quick solution and we got upgraded to another lodge.

This was an unforgettable safari in Maasai Mara. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable, with great eyes for wildlife. We successfully saw the Big Five. He drove safely and found perfect viewing spots for photos. Highly recommend this tour!

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
5 / 5 5 / 5 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
5 / 5 4 / 5 5 / 5 4 / 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.
