We absolutely loved our time in Kenya, it is such a friendly, welcoming country.
Our trip to the Masai Mara was a highlight, we saw the big five and thoroughly enjoyed the game drives. A truly magical experience!

I visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru Park and Ol Pejeta with my daughter. The trip in Kenia was organized by Amazing Memories Safaris exactly according to our wishes. We used a Land Rover with a driver, which way of getting around is our recommendation for the comfortable and effective way to quickly get an overall impression of Kenya's national parks and see "The Big Five".
In Masai Mara, we saw the most different four-legged - from the car and from the air. The view from the hot air balloon to sunrise, nature and animals was definitely worth the experience. The weather was pleasant for Scandinavians. A few drops of rain on a couple of evenings didn't hurt, quite the opposite. Our excellent hotel was located inside the park, nicely hidden in nature. We were more than satisfied.
I think in Nakuro we saw what man has done on Earth. Yes, there were (still or already again) pelicans, flamingos and of course all the other animals already seen,

but there was also an overfilled lake, I guess as a result of climate change. The view was by no means uplifting.
Also in Ol Pejeta we saw what we absolutely wanted, rhinos - the last ones. And, of course, all the others like monkeys, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras... Very close. From a very distance we saw Mount Kenya. All very impressive - in many respects.
We received, experienced and saw what we had come for and on top of that also food for thought. Overall, the trip wasn't the cheapest, but it was worth every penny.

Had a great time in Kenya, specifically the Maasai Mara and Amboseli Park. The people are friendly, the scenery is incredible and the wildlife viewing was beyond my expectations. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in visiting Africa.

The city is fantastic, lots of places to visit and see. The food is tasty and the evening atmosphere is electric.
The beaches are stunning and the people are friendly.
The Mas Mara safari was a great experience, we saw all the animals and enjoyed a nice weekend away in a Masai Tent.

We spend 15 days in Kenya and every day was amazing. All people we met were so friendly, thoughful and helpful. We did a 5-Day-Safari (with Back of Africa Adventure) in four different nationalparks:
- Tsavo East with a diversity of animals and the beautiful red sand
-Amboseli (next to Kilimanjaro) with Lake Amboseli, birds, large meadows
- Tsavo West with Lava, rocks and mountain
- Taita Hills with a lot of lions (and baby lions) and steppe landscape
We saw a lot of animals and it was a pleasure to see that they have a safe life and a lot of space. Diani Beach was also a great experience. White sand, clear water - perfect to relax. We can also recommend all accommodations and the food. Fresh, local, often healthy and always delicous.
We had a great honeymoon and will come back!

We did a 3 day safari with Africa Starpal in Tsavo East and Tsavo West. Bonaface, our guide, was extremely knowledgeable and an excellent guide. He knew all the facts about the animals, including the birds. We got to see the Big 5, the lodges were wonderful that we stayed at very nice accomodations. My husband would pick tents to sleep in and I would pick luxury so I went with middle class accomodations and i was not disappointed.

This tour is very organized from the initial inquiry, to pick-up, to the schedule, to the accommodation, to the food until the drop-off. I don’t need to worry on anything. I just need to show up and be prepared to see the animals. They responded to queries promptly and the booking process is very quick and easy. We went to places as described. Masai Mara’s landscape is really beautiful. We saw a lot of wildlife including 4 of the big 5 (except rhino). We also saw a lot of actions like a lion hunting and catching a pumba, vultures eating an animal, leopard climbing a tree, and lions swimming and sun bathing. Our guide, Richard, made sure that we see the good stuff. Roger is very helpful with the photos (he’s a professional photographer). Masai Mara is definitely the highlight of my Kenya trip. Lake Nakuru is also wonderful. Unfortunately, we were a bit late because someone decided to enjoy his breakfast so we didn’t see the black rhino. Good thing we saw the white rhino and flamingos.

There are optional activities on this tour:
- Visit to Masai Village ($20) - honestly, I feel like it’s ok to skip this. It’s a bit “staged” but it’s also a way of helping the community.
- Boat tour in Lake Naivasha and Safari walk ($45) - it’s a nice experience. We saw hippos and different bird species during the boat tour. The walking safari feels like a walk in a farm.
The camp and hotel we stayed on are good although the shower water flow in Lenchada Camp can be improved (hot water is available). There’s no wifi in the camp and electricity is only available at 6-10pm and 5:30-7:30am whose is fine with me. The food included in the tour is good too. They’re mostly local food which is good. Overall, this is highly recommended tour.

Do not hesitate one second! Kenya is an amazing travel destination.
We went to hell's gate Park, naivasha, mont Longonot, the Aberdare park, amboseli and to Nairobi and everything was amazing. We saw a lot of differents things, savanah, forest, waterfalls, hills, lakes and so much wildlife. The people there are kind and generous i always felt Welcome and safe. And the food was lovely. I had an amazing week there.
