Maasai Mara. Kenya's Jewel
The fauna in the Mara is diverse and the natural beauty of the reserve is unquestionable. Home of the rich Maasai Culture, a place where humans and wildlife co-exist in awesome harmony

We travelled a little around Kenya, but not too far from major population centres. The bits we did see were great though.
Kenya is good, but the best place for a safari in Tanzania.

I don't have anything to compare to, but I would definitely want to go back to Kenya sometime to go on another safari!
all was perfect. Just the price was often too high for the average traveller.

Fantastic landscapes

This is somewhat difficult to assess as it was our first safari.
Ok - the road to Masai Mara camp can get upgraded as that's a road that so many big vehicles use.
I thought it was great but have nothing to compare it to. I've never been anywhere else in Africa. I suppose there may be other starting point cities better than Nairobi.
Kenya offers a wide range of national parks, each with specific highlights
In September 2014 I visited the national parks (or game reserves) Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsave E and Tsavo W. Samburu is very dry, but offers quite different wildlife (eg giraffe gazelle or Grevy's zebra). Nakuru is nice for Flamingos, but in 2014 it rained too much so there were only few. Masai Mara is clearly the highlight, but also very crowded. Amboseli offers big herds of elephants and postcard shots with Mt Kili. Tsavo W is too bushy to spot wildlife. Tsavo E has big elephants.
