A good place to visit.
We were there in Kenya for 06days covering Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Taita hills. The stay was good - some places lacked WiFi connectivity, some places the food was mediocre. The game drive was very interesting, wildlife encounters were exciting. The journey between different places was a bit stretchy and consumed half of the time we stayed in Kenya.
The people was kind and sociable. The Masai tribe were welcoming and all the hosts from different hotels were very accomodative.
Family Leisure Africa Safari tourism was our tourism provider. They organised the tour well and our tourist guide was knowledgeable.
Overall, a very satisfiable trip and would repeat it if the moment comes.

Kenya is amazing, if weren't for so many people
I went to Kenya for the first time, having only been to Tanzania about 15 years ago. The Mara was great and I saw lots of game, but there were many vehicles, even though I went in the off season (early January). 20 vehicles every time saw a leopard...
I still had a great time, but the experience is certainly a lot less wild than other parts of Africa I've been to in recent years

Good experience, attentive staff
My safari experience to Maasai Mara was well-organized and enjoyable. The staff was attentive, responsive, and always made an effort to ensure our needs were met, which made the trip comfortable and smooth.
The drive from Nairobi to Maasai Mara is long, but the scenic views of the Kenyan landscape made it an adventure of its own. The staff ensured we were comfortable throughout the journey, which helped make the ride pleasant.
The tour guides and drivers were incredibly skilled and knowledgeable. They were dedicated to helping us spot wildlife and shared detailed insights about the animals and their environment, making the game drives both exciting and informative. Their professionalism, patience, kindnesd and effort were evident at every turn.
Overall, the safari was a memorable experience, and I would recommend it to anyone planning to visit Maasai Mara. The team’s competence and attentiveness made it worthwhile.

Wide variety of wildlife
We went on a 3 days safari to the Masai Mara with Axis African Travel. The organisation was excellent, everything went as agreed. Unfortunately we were given a bad tour guide, James, who didn't inform us of anything, just sped us around the national park for 2 days. He had a hard time even stopping for a photo. Whenever a special animal appeared, all the tourist jeeps would rush up and chase it, surround it, block its way. They literally do animal cruelty.
We spent 3 days at Diani Beach. The sea is crystal clear and warm, the beach is fine sand and the water is slowly deepening. We took a glass bottom boat to nearby Robinson Reef to see

corals and colourful fish. The locals don't take care of the marine life. Most of the corals are dead, the fish are fed bread for tourists and the boat crews collect red starfish for visitors.Walking through the streets we felt in no danger. We did not go out in the evenings. There were panhandlers, but not to an excessive extent.
The Nairobi - Mombasa railway is clean, cheap and punctual.
Overall, Kenya is well worth a visit.

Kenya is amazing in every aspect.
Perfect weather in January with animals at the water holes. Explorer Kenya Safaris arranged an excellent itinerary, accommodation, vehicle and driver. Perfect for seeing a variety of wildlife and scenery. All the Kenyan people were so friendly and helpful with wonderful fresh tasty food. After the safari it was perfect to have a beachside holiday to enjoy the sea, sand, local people and wildlife.

Kenya, wildlife around you
Nevertheless, our impressions changed when we started our safari, with Balu Travel LTD, which I really recommend. The places where we stayed, the landscapes and sunsets we saw, the amount of animals we could see, … everything was incredible. This

is what it comes to my mind when I think of Kenya. It’s true people is asking for money at any chance when they see white people, and yo need to say no no no a hundred times, but this places make Kenya such a good experience.I would recommend Kenya as a solo destination as well, as we talked with many people travelling alone. For 2 girls, it is also a safe place if you go on a safari there.

A land of intrigue and surprise
Ok here goes , we did not know what to expect, don’t do a safari if you have a bad back the roads in the park are terrible, our guide went out of his way to find the big five Lion,Elephant,Buffalo,Cheetah,and Rhino, can’t fault the experience, but surely the powers that be could do something about the roads

Ideal destination for wildlife watching
National parks enable watching a wide variety of animal species in its natural environment.
Though, parkentrance fees are quite expensive, but it helps preserving the wildlife.

Fascinating Destination
We went on a shoulder month with uncertainty of encountering the big five and wonderful view, but we were rewarded with the best sighting. Our guide from Karibu Safaris had been very determined and with some luck we managed to seen all. The comfort level accommodation is good too, we didn't encounter any issue, food provided is fairly decent. It had been a most fulfilling trip, and will definitely recommend to friends and family.
