Fabulous Safari Experience
We just finished a Safari to Lake Nukuru and Masai Mara and I think it was one of our best experiences as a holiday. Right from planning to the end we were guided by Serene East Africa Safaris. I must admit the planning and advise was flawless. The guide, transport, boarding and lodging were really good. The weather was awesome through out our travel. Yes we were disappointed for not being able to see the famous migration but had been advised in advance that due to abundant rains migration was likely to commence only in July. But we were happy to see abundant wildlife and our guide Peter was simply superb and patient with our queries.
A little disappointed with Nairobi due to its notorious traffic but Giraffe Center was awesome.
Overall I would say that a visit to Kenya for Safari experience is highly recommended .

Landscapes of dreams, welcoming population, it was wonderful...
I had dreamed of browsing the immensities of the bush to discover the wildlife in its natural environment.
I was able to realize it with a very experienced guide. All the people we met were welcoming and friendly.
The accommodation of very good level and the delicious food.
Everything to make this trip unforgettable.
Only downside, the cost of this trip ... a little expensive...

Fantastic
We really enjoyed the whole trip! We saw so many animals! This included a lot of big cats which are my favorite. All the people there were nice and the entire trip had a good vibe. The tent camps as well as the lodges were great! Clean and fantastic settings. Charles our guide from Classic Journeys was great as well. He knew the area and the animals and was always aiming to please. We had hesitated to book a trip on line and with a company not based in the US but everything went smoothly. The only thing I would change are the roads! Even the main roads are very very rutted and hard to travel. Doing it again I would fly between parks where it was feasible instead of driving. I have done both ways and flying is the way to go. I suggest going to Kenya to everyone I know. It is one of my favorite places in the world. I miss all the animals and the kind people!!!

Low cost but interesting
I was in a budget safari but it was not so comfortable, not electricity even at night, very poor and bad packedlunch, not a window for everybody, not a lot of interest of the driver/guide, but even that I enjoyed my stay

We enjoyed Kenya wildlife.
Loved seeing and learning about the wildlife. Since that was our purpose and goal for the trip, Kenya surpassed our expectations in that area. There was an abundance of wildlife at all the locations visited and we would not have skipped anything on our itinerary except for Lake Bogoria. Masai Mara, Ambroselli, and Lake Nakura were our favorites,
Most accommodations were adequate.
I did not think Kenya or its wildlife parks were tourist friendly. The lack of bathrooms was surprising.
Mixed review for tour company and guide. They kept changing our lodging and trying to give us lesser quality lodging. Guide knew a lot about wildlife but would only share what was specifically asked. I felt like I had to fight to get all that was included on the itinerary either to save money on park admission or make the job easier for the driver/guide. Driver had very good driving skills.
High pressure sales tactic used at rest stops which were not appreciated.

It exceeded our expectations
My family and I visited Kenya in early 2018 and we absolutely loved every single bit of it. We went to Masai Mara, Amboseli and Nakuru and got to see all the big five animals multiple times. In fact, we saw most of the wildlife present apart from a cheetah ( which was sad)
Jeoffrey as our guide and travel companion was exceptional and James was a wonderful host. Jeoffrey is very friendly, accommodating and went out of his way to make the trip memorable for us.
I wish I could give a 4.5 rating ! The only reason I wouldn’t give a solid 5 is I wish the windows in the Jeep would have been a bit bigger that would have made watching the game reserve a bit easier !

Perfect break from the city
Was able to see a lot of wildlife in a short time, during a one-night stopover in Nairobi. First idea was Nairobi NP to be a kind of extended zoo, but is really a vast place so close to the city, where you can easily spot wildlife (no elephants). Driver / guide was very flexible.

Amazing experience to see so many wild animals in a single location.
Like: amazing wildlife, spectacular Kilimanjaro scenery, clear Indian ocean waters with marine life and corrals, competent guides and friendly people, reasonable and clean accommodation;
to be improved: transportation infrastructure (took ages to drive from one part to another, some roads were so poor quality, looked more like off-road rally), excessive pressure on tourists to purchase souvenirs on the beach or national parks entrances
Good safari
Good game drive, roads were getting built so quite a bumpy ride
