Sensational

A trip like no other! We stayed at giraffe manor (unreal experience - a must for a giraffe lover) then headed out to the maasai mara for 5 days where we stayed and safari'd with & Beyond Kichwa Tembo, which also exceeded expectations. Don't hesitate, just go! You won't be disappointed.

A fascinating beauty where time slows down

We did 6 day safari with Meektrails in June. Our trip started from Amboseli National Park (2 days), then Lake Nakuru (1 day), and finally Maasai Mara (2 days). Every second was magical. We witnessed a completely different environment, vegetation, climate, and animals every day. We witnessed incredible things at moments we least expected. It was a trip beyond what we imagined. It was great to see animals in their natural habitat and witness their communication with each other. We need more than a week to visit this beautiful country, I hope we can come again. Finally, thanks to our tour operator. Thanks to Meektrails Safaris, everything was amazing. Before the trip, Eliud took care of everything closely and planned the tour according to our requests. He was great with communication. Our guide Lukas smells the animals, as they say :) He was a friendly, calm, expert, understanding, and wonderful guide. This trip wouldn't have been as wonderful without them.

Do not miss travel destination

Safari in Kenya was an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience. My friend and I went on a 4 day safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara and Nakuru. Masai Mara is a huge African savannah full of wildlife. On our first day in the park we saw 4 of the Big 5 within just a few hours. Nakuru is a smaller park centered around a lake home to over 300 species of bird. It is also one of the best places in the world to see rhinos. We saw several black and white rhinos during our day in the park. In between both parks we also made a stopover at a different lake where we took a boat ride to see hippos in the water and take a walking safari on the lake's peninsula. The walking safari was one of my favorite moments from the trip. We were within 15 ft of zebra and giraffes. I highly recommend not to miss the incredible wildlife this destination has to offer.

People are friendly and gracious in Kenya

We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi (Kozi Suites, which is an acceptable place to sleep), and had a safari to Amboseli, Naivasha, Lake Nakura, and Masai Mara. The parks are beautiful and well maintained. Animals were plentiful (except leopards, we were not able to find any) and they did not seem to mind the Land Rovers. The flamingos which are usually at Lake Nakura have migrated to another lake, so we did not see too many.

There are many safari companies to choose from, we chose well, Ramja Safaris. Our guide was excellent and had private education as well as over 20 years experience, he knew what he was doing and where all the best picture taking spots were. The lodges were excellent and the staff were gracious. Remember to tip as this is a poor country and a tip goes a long way. .

Amazing experience!

We contacted Balu Travel for a 3 day safari in Masai Mara in June. We had an amazing experience as we also had an amazing guide, Steve, who was very knowledgeable and went the extra mile to offer us the most on each day. We saw the Big Four (as we couldn’t see the rhino this time ;) ), a beautiful sunrise and sunset and mesmerising landscapes. The accommodation at Mara Olodare was good, clean, spacious, the beds were comfortable and the food was also good. On the last day we visited a Maasai village and it was also a great experience.

Amazing wildlife

An enjoyable holiday out safari was very good. I would however recommend flying to the Masai Mara rather than travelling by road as it is a long trip from Nairobi and often bumpy. We went to Carnivore restaurant in Nairobi, it was fun to try crocodile and ostrich the other delicacies I didn’t try. Mombasa will be great to visit when the new road is installed it is an experience jostling with the mini vans, tuk tuks and Lorrie’s. The staff wherever we went were friendly and couldn’t do enough for you. It is definitely an experience I would recommend people to travel to Kenya
