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

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.

Unfortunately no view on mount Kilimandscharo, but contact with guide and organization was top.

Beautiful Country - Lovely people - Eradicate Government Corruption

Enjoyed the parks! However, entry took 40 minutes of struggle to buy a ticket through the https://www.kws.go.ke/. Website kept erasing username and password. Visitors do NOT want to keep track of passwords. They want to enjoy vacation. Need to be able to just pay with credit card and there will be a record of the purchase for the government without all the hassle.

Recently got back from a 2 week holiday in Kenya . We travelled around 6 national parks on a safari trip with Meektrail safaris followed by 4 lazy days at The Swahili beach hotel on Diani beach . All of the national parks offered something different and we thoroughly enjoyed everyone however the Masai Mara , Amboselli and Lake Naivasha were my personal favourites and the ones I would highly recommend . We did a lot of travelling about by road and really enjoyed seeing a different way of life . We found the Kenyan people to be very friendly . Nice to have the lazy days by the beach at the end of our trip o the lovely Diani beach . The only slight negative I had about the entire trip were that the beach boys and beggars in Diani became a bit tiresome at times making a nice simple walk on the beach or into town feel like hard work .

Our tour operator was Axis travel, and they were amazing and beyond helpful. Cynthia provided so much support for us, even beyond the actual safari trip - including organizing transport to and from the airport, answering all the questions, etc. Our guide Kelvin, was so cool. He was kind, he knowledgeable, and he kept us very safe. Many times we saw some irresponsible driving, but Kelvin always kept his cool and took such a good care of us. Really, he made our trip superb.

One thing about Africa is that everybody asks for tips (at Axis even this was awesome and Kelvin was awesome). But people ask for tips that you don't even know what you are tipping... like we served you breakfast, tip us, we picked p the dishes tip us, we are going to the restaurant bathroom tip us etc. It is very extreme and strange for us coming from Europe. You can tell that Africa is a third world country and that there is such a corruption and poverty as people talk about it. Yet the prices are
Read more high and it makes you wonder how people manage to survive.

The country itself is so stunningly beautiful. Wildlife, coastline, everything.

It was a nice experience to visit and join the tour to safari. We really enjoy the all of the experience. However I was disappointed its weather in this season. We couldn’t see Mt.Kilimanjaro. It’s better for you to consider the best season.

Fantastic safari destination which should be more welcoming at the airport and SGR train station

Taita Hills Conservancy is exceptionally well maintained and has a low density of safari vehicles. Travelling by train in 1st Class was very comfortable but I wish we had been informed in advance of the extensive list of prohibited items, which includes Duty Free, and the corrupt security guards that look for bribes. Nairobi is great for shopping, but Kenya does not offer VAT Refund for tourists; venturing outside the malls for a couple of specialty items was very stressful. The hotels we stayed in were excellent and had a large variety of food options.

I still could not believe it that I brought my flight tickets two weeks after got back from Kenya. Why? Just wish had more time to explore more and enjoy the wild and safari game, also the beautiful and cozy camp sites. This is my first trip ever to Africa, and it totally opens a new door of new world to see for me. The landscape and wild life are amazing, and what's even better is that I can enjoy the wild but with well developed accommodations in the wild. kenya is the perfect start point for someone who never been to African and experienced Safari, because it's not that huge in distance between park, even driving are tolerable, and the accommodations business are mature with more options, also most importantly, high density of wild life in Masai Mara, and unique Amboseli to see the wild life with beautiful Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background.
