My 1st Safari in Kenya

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5
Kenya is a beautiful country for safaris. There are numerous national parks, and I chose the 3-day Maasai Mara tour. We left Nairobi early and went on a few-hour evening safari that same day. The next day, we set out early and were on the road for about 13 hours. On the third day, we visited a Maasai village and drove back to Nairobi.

We had a great guide who knows the flora and fauna very well. He accommodated our requests and always positioned us so we could take excellent photos and videos. His driving skills are also perfect for this job.

We saw: elephants, lions, buffalo, a rhino, cheetahs, giraffes, warthogs, wildebeests, zebras, antelopes, gazelles, hyenas, jackals, hippos, vultures, a marabou stork, eagles, and much more.

Now, two things I don’t think are ideal:
There’s quite a lot of plastic litter scattered around the Maasai Mara. Action needs to be taken here. And there’s a lot of off-road driving in the park, and the
Read more landscape looks the part. You can see Land Cruiser tracks everywhere. If this isn’t curbed, the Maasai Mara won’t be recognizable in 10 years.

All in all, I’m very grateful to have had this experience and highly recommend it.

Lovely people but we were only there for 1 day and night so difficult to judge.

In the one day / night we stayed we managed a 4 hour game drive at the Nairobi National Park. Perfect for a 4 hour game drive. Company that organised it were good, good value for money and loved our driver, he was great.

VERY VERY VERY GOOD. ALL WAS VERY WELL
David, our driver, taught us so much. Just a little sad not to have seen a lion up close. We visited Amboseli and Tsavo East.

Thousands thanks for all

Good but just visit the Masai Mara

3 / 5 3 /5

Overall the tour was good.

Email contact was very quick until it came to confirming they had received by deposit. It took 2 weeks and countless emails on my end to get confirmation that my trip was going ahead. I paid the deposit from a US bank account in USD (as requested) and there was a transaction feed that I had to cover upon arrival.

I requested a lift from the airport and my driver was an hour late. I would recommend booking an uber (~£5 opposed to $15)

The day at the Masai Mara was incredible, the wildlife unmatched. Make sure you carefully check you are happy with your itinerary (although it will change) as most days involve 6+ hrs of travel with only 2 hrs of game viewing. I was a solo traveler and everyone I met was very welcoming and from a variety of age ranges and backgrounds. Because I was by myself and the tours vary in days (some are 3, 6 and 7), I was continuously swapped between cars and companies. It was quite exhausting
Read more continuously meeting new people just for one day.

The food was good. Every day it is rice, lentils and chicken.

When back in Nairobi there was a clear hierarchy of guest that had to be dropped off in a specific order. Despite our first guest drop off at 12:30, I was dropped off at 3:45.

I would recommend just visiting the Masai Mara as the rest of the week is basically just driving to a new location to spend a few hrs and then going to your hotel.

Marvelous wildlife, terrible slums and trash everywhere

We visited 3 national parks - Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. It was a 6-day safari, well organised, jeep travel. The driver was also our guide and Jackson was a very experienced and knowledgeable guy. The thing which we did not take into account in advance was that travel distances are quite big and rather tiresome. Inside the national parks roads are dirty (red all-sticking dust) and very uneven, while the riding lasts 6 to 7 hours. Between the parks distances are 200-300 km or more, some parts of these also on dirty roads. In 2 words - lots of jeep riding. This, plus early wake-ups (5:30 am) to catch the rhythm of the animals equals to tiredness. People should be prepared for this - we were not, which was our fault only. Nothing to do with the guide and the company. For those seeking to observe lots of birds and some animals, I'd suggest going to Nakuru only; for elephants - Amboseli is the perfect place.
We slept in so called "budget" accommodations - a hotel
Read more in Nakuru and tents in the other 2 parks. Tents were spacious, something like 30 sq.m. with private toilet and a shower stand, comfortable beds, etc. Mosquitos are endless and invisible, be prepared. The food was basic but tasty, only lunch boxes were rather boring - every day there was 1/4 of fried chicken. In general - great experience, fascinating wildlife, everybody pushes you to give away some money ... walking wallets syndrome.

I recently spent 7 days traveling in Kenya and it was an incredible experience. In just one week I visited Masai Mara, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and finally relaxed at Diani Beach, which gave me the chance to see very different landscapes and wildlife.3ps Tour managed everything perfectly !
Masai Mara was amazing for wildlife. We saw lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras and many other animals during the game drives. Amboseli was spectacular for its large herds of elephants unfortunately it was cloudy and we could no admire the stunning views of Mount Kilimanjaro in the background. Lake Nakuru was also beautiful, especially for birdlife and the chance to see rhinos and flamingos
After the safari, finishing the trip at Diani Beach was perfect. The white sand and turquoise water were stunning and it was the ideal place to relax after several days of exploring. Accommodations were all over the expectations and food incredibly abundant and various
Kenya offers an incredible mix of wildlife, nature and beautiful beaches. Even in just 7 days, it was an unforgettable trip.

We had an absolutely wonderful safari. Our driver was extremely professional—with ten years of experience, he drove very steadily and positioned us perfectly so that we could capture the amazing moment when a cheetah was hunting.
