Kenya Travel Guide

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.

Kenya is a great safari destination varied parks both operated by the Kenya Wildlife Services and also private game conservancy.
Abundant wildlife.
Friendly people.
Great coastline - superb beaches.

Lovely wildlife in great scenery. And great beaches, incl. off the beaten track. Unfortunately the more popular place are becoming very expensive.

The scenic beauty of the different areas is fantastic and unique, the people are very friendly! But increase of population and prosperity cause the decrease of nature and wildlife!

not very expensive, relatively safe, a lot of new

Even if Kenya as not the monopoly of the African wild life, but it offer it for a reasonnable price in a wide variety of places compare to other countries. You can have a safari for a couple of days.. or more and spend some days in one of the beach hotel to heal your back... Rich in animal, it's parks are well kept and safe.

Kenya is one the the best place to plan a good safari, unfortunately in the last few years mass tourism has ruined the real Safari mood.
