My Safari in Kenya – A Journey we will Never Forget
We have travelled to many places, but nothing compares to the magic I felt in Kenya. I booked a 3-day safari through Safari Bookings that took me from Mombasa to Emali by train and onward to Amboseli in Jeep, every moment felt like stepping into a nature documentary.
Amboseli: Elephants and Kilimanjaro Amboseli was a dream. One morning, we watched a herd of elephants cross the dusty plains with Mount Kilimanjaro glowing in the background. If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing elephants roam freely beneath the towering silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park is where that dream comes to life. From the moment we entered the park, the landscape felt cinematic—dusty plains dotted with acacia trees, shimmering swamps, and the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro looming like a guardian in the distance. Our driver was phenomenal, effortlessly spotting wildlife and sharing stories that brought the ecosystem

to life.The highlight? Watching a herd of elephants cross the marshlands at sunset. Calves playfully splashed in the water while older matriarchs led the way with quiet authority. It was humbling and beautiful. We also saw lions lounging in the shade, stalking prey in the distance, and flocks of flamingos painting the wetlands pink. Birdwatchers will be in heaven—Amboseli is home to over 400 bird species. The park is well-maintained, and the lodges nearby offer stunning views and warm hospitality. It’s dusty, yes—but that’s part of the charm. Bring a mask, scarf, a good camera, and an open heart. Amboseli isn’t just a destination—it’s a revelation. If you love elephants, giraffe, gazelles, zebras, monkeys’ hippopotamus and many more animals roaming freely and dramatic landscapes, and raw, untamed beauty, this is the safari for you.
People & Culture
Beyond the wildlife, the Kenyan people made this trip unforgettable. Very friendly helpful, our driver was brilliant knew the route and knowledge of most animal behaviours and their history exceptional driver/guide.
Lodges & Comfort
Each lodge was thoughtfully chosen — from canvas tents under the stars to eco-lodges with panoramic views. The food was fresh, the staff were attentive, and the evenings were filled with laughter and storytelling.
Final Reflection Kenya didn’t just show me animals — it showed me life in its rawest, most beautiful form. If you’re considering a safari, don’t hesitate. Kenya will change you.

The Maasai Mara is a breathtaking place where endless savannahs, unforgettable wildlife encounters.
Visiting the Maasai Mara was an unforgettable experience. The vast scenery of endless golden plains, dotted with acacia trees and framed by dramatic skies, feels almost unreal. The absolute highlight was witnessing the incredible wildlife — from lions resting in the shade to elephants crossing the savannah, and even the famous wildebeest migration, which is a spectacle of nature unlike anything else. The guides were not only knowledgeable but also very attentive to safety, which made me feel comfortable at all times, even when we were just a few metres away from big cats. What impressed me most was the balance between adventure and security — the park allows you to feel close to nature while still being in good hands. Overall, the Maasai Mara is a place I would recommend to anyone looking for breathtaking landscapes, unforgettable encounters, and a safe, well-guided safari experience.

Kenya offers absolutely stunning landscapes, incredible wildlife, and a lot of safari sightings
The wildlife is just as stunning. I've been on safaris in other countries before, but Kenya offered by far the most sightings. We were lucky to see lions, elephants, cheetahs, and even leopards up close, often within the same day. The sheer abundance and variety of animals was incredible.
One of the absolute highlights was witnessing the wildebeest river crossing — a powerful, once-in-a-lifetime experience that left us speechless.
We also had the chance to learn more about the fascinating culture of the Maasai people, which added real depth and perspective to our journey.
We visited in August, during the migration season, and while that brought amazing wildlife moments, it also meant certain popular sightings attracted many other safari vehicles.

In some spots, the number of cars and the sound of engines did affect the experience slightly — sometimes scaring the animals or disrupting the atmosphere. Still, the beauty and uniqueness of each encounter far outweighed those moments.Kenya stole our hearts — for its nature, its people, and its raw, wild magic. Highly recommended!

Crowded Safaris in a Corrupt place
The Maasai clearly have a strangle-hold over all of these safaris that comes across as if it is a Mafia-type of situation. They control the gates to all the game reserves, it was their tourist camps we were taken to, and it was their shops with heavy-handed sales tactics and ridiculous prices that all the tourists were constantly taken to throughout the trip. The camps all serve the same boring tasteless food in bulk. Beef stew, chicken pieces, rice and mixed veg. This is what you will eat for every single meal, every day for 6 days. Left over chicken is packed up for bland tin-foil

packed lunches.Roads around the Maasai Mara are 100 times worse than you can imagine, even in a Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep. My spine was killing from being sledgehammered after these two days of the trip, and I had cuts and bruises on my shoulders from being bashed into the jeep walls. Nokuru and Amboselli roads were far better. Book a Jeep. Do not book one of these safaris in a van, you will massively regret it!!!
Manjaro tented camp was a dump. Staff were unwelcoming, bossy and miserable. Our tent and mosquito net did not close, even though they stated that if it was not closed, baboons could steal your belongings. The camp smelt of raw sewage, and the tent toilet did not work. They kindly provided me with a bucket to pour sink water into the loo as a substitute. The bedside lamp did not work and the only lightswitch with loose visible wiring was about 6 foot from the bed.
Be prepared for lots and lots of driving, ..........like whole days of driving, on sometimes pretty scary roads, and pray your driver has good judgement while overtaking at high speed on terrible roads.
At all three parks, some beautiful scenes of animals together were spoiled by overcrowding of vehicles. Usually a pride of lions or Cheetah will be surrounded by 20-30 vehicles. Loud, stupid Kenyan vehicle drivers shout to each other loudly in Swahili, and truckfulls of ignorant tourists talk loudly, even by animals very sensitive to sound. On several occasions, this clown-show led to the animals being scared off, and missing out chasing down a meal. On one occasion, there were so many trucks (about 50!!!), the wildabeest could not even get through to cross the river.
If you go to the Maasai village, be prepared to be surrounded and sold heavily to. Also, if a bracelet is worth 100-200KES, they will price it at 2500-3000KES, to start any negotiation. On our trip, they were so focused on selling to us, they did not even let us meet the chief, which was supposed to be a key part of the visit. Also be prepared to be stopped by the police with guns in Ambosselli, for a short river walk with a bribe. As the police are all corrupt, and as Stephen did not properly explain or prepare us for this in advance, we panicked as we thought we were being robbed.
By the end of the trip, we had definitely had enough. The awful food and constantly being treated like a fool by the tireless heavy selling tactics of the Maasai had got a bit wearing. It was summed up by the Maasai children. You say 'Hi' to them, they hold their hand out for payment.
If it wasn't for the hard work of Stephen, this safari would only have been a 1 or 2 star experience.

Kenya safari 2025
My wife and I visited it for safari game drives. We organized the entire vacation ourselves through online bookings. We traveled the whole country from Mombasa to Masai Mara. We spent two days in the capital Nairobi from here we visited the Naivasha Lake with hippos and many animals. In Nairobi we had booked a 3 day safari game drive to Masai Mara via Toto Tembo Safaris. Masai Mara was the greatest experience and exceeded all our expectations. We saw 4 animals of BIG FIVE, great migration, Mara river with hippos and crocos, Masai village with Goerge and his family :) .... big, big experiences. Finally, we spent a week at Diani Beach. In one sentence, Kenya is a diverse country with nice people (Hakuna Matata, Jambo Rafiki). We had a one negative perception of the constantly annoying locals, who pestered us with their offers at every turn... but it is the true Africa.
