A great experience
Recently, I went to Kenya to take a vacation. The highlights are of course to see those wild animals in Africa.
I took a "6 days 5 nights Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli" with a company called "Africa Flash McTours & Travel". The manager, Mr. Peter Macharia, did a great job, looking after his customers, although there are circumstances that are a bit beyond his control.
A convincing example is that all the tour companies appear to have a system that tourists are told to hop on different buses at a set of places where they stop for lunch. This system initially confused me a lot as I thought that I would be always staying with one group, once a group has been arranged by a particular company prior to the beginning of your program. But, that was not the case. So, to me what Peter did most impressively was that one day, when he could not organize any other driver to pick me up from Nairobi to Amboseli, he sent in a car to just take me there. Of course, a single passenger would cost his company slightly more than letting his customers sharing with others. But, to me this is the convincing moment that his is a trustable manager.
I also want to mention is passing that a young driver in his own company, John, has done a great job! His English is excellent and he appeared to try to do his job properly, rather than trying to "cut corners".

Wonderful country, friendly people, Amazing landscapes
Wildlife in Masai Mara is rich, varied and spettacular; in land, the food is poor but substantial, while in the coast is better thanks the fishes; public trasportation is especially for local people and private transports are really expensive.

If you are travelling to Africa for the first time and want to see as much of the wildlife as possible then Kenya is the place to go.

Kenya has a fantastic variety of landscapes, wildlife and birdlife. Some of the popular parks and lodges can get very busy in high season but choose the time of your visit and your accommodation wisely and you will have an unforgettable safari.

We drove through the country a little and the coffee and tea fields were nice.
Our main focus was birding in Kenya. Samburu National Resewrve offered a good balance of excellent birding and fair amount of wild life. Acccomodation was good

The Masai Mara is amazing, especially during the migration.
