Wonderful, beautiful, and amazing place
First, the wildlife was amazing, beautiful, and cute. The food tasted better than I thought, and the scenery was, of course, too good. The accommodation also had a few worms, but the staff was friendly and comfortable. The air in the blue sky was clear, so it was good to travel and it was a healing feeling. The guide on the safari was positive, friendly and in a word perfect. I will definitely go back to Kenya.

A wonderful experience
The safari was amazing and our guide Martin was the best! He made sure that we saw the Big 5 and much more. Plus he was knowledgeable and patiently answered all our questions about the animals and even gave us some insight into the local culture of the native inhabitants. Kenya is a trip of a lifetime and the Masai Mara is a must see!

A lifetime of memories made within a few hours
Africa Vacation Safaris provided the best possible safari. It was more than I ever hoped for, catered for me and my wishes, from my park choices to the itinerary, to the lodges, to the wildlife. We saw the Big Five and the Samburu Five in a few short days. I can't wait to go back.

We had high expecations and they were exceeded!
From the very beginning of our correspondence, Edith at Kenya Safari Arcade was incredibly helpful, responsive and patient. I pestered her with tons of questions and even changed my mind about our itinerary several times, but she was always polite and happy to help.
Given how wonderful Edith had been (we emailed for several months before the trip), I was confident when we finally landed in Nairobi -- but you still never know what exactly to expect to visiting a new place for the first time. I should never have had a doubt -- a driver was waiting for us at the airport just as Edith had promised.
Personally, I would not try to see more parks than this in a week. Many of the itineraries I saw visited a different park every day, but you could undoubtedly be in one place for a month and see different animals every day. And even visiting just 3 parks, we still spent a huge amount of time driving.
We had high expectations for Kenya and our safari, and thanks in large part to Edith, David and Kenya Safari Arcade, our expectations were absolutely exceeded. You watch National Geographic and think you know what to expect, but nothing can prepare you to see these animals up so close in their natural habitats. I am now recommending that any of my friends or family who are remotely interested in safari find a way to make it happen. It's not a cheap or necessarily an easy trip, but it's absolutely worth it and truly the trip of a lifetime.
Thanks again to Kenya Safari Arcade, and we are waiting for David to tell us when he's coming to visit Israel!

Fantastic experience
The safari was really well organised - we were picked up from our hotel on starting and dropped us to the train station at the end as we were continuing to Mombasa. Bison Safaris booked our train tickets in advance which was really helpful for us.
The accommodation was basic but clean and absolutely fine for our safari. We had two nights staying

in tents in a camp. There were hot showers available and electricity ran until 10pm from a generator. Because we were up so early each morning this was actually fine. We stayed in a motel in Nakuru which was lovely - again it was clean, had hot showers, really nice. The only slight downside was the food on the safari as there wasn't much variety. The packed lunches were probably the best part.I would definitely recommend Bison Safaris for anyone considering going to Kenya for safari.

Saw all the big 5 + the great migration + a herd crossing river and got eaten by a croc! So amazing!
Great wildlife and scenery! We stayed at the northern part of the park so it wasn't as crowded as the other parts which was great! Great accommodation - clean, spacious, attention to details, great & friendly staff. Excellent and skillful driver/ safari guide - knows the park and animals very well - worked longer than he had to to satisfy our needs! Very service minded! Best trip ever!

Going to Kenya was a grand adventure!
We booked our trip with O.T. of Kenya Walking Survivor Safaris. O.T. and I exchanged many emails prior to the visit and we got everything set up just as we wanted it. We were met at the airport and stayed a couple days in Nairobi prior to going out on the road with Albert. We felt very safe with Albert at all times and he was attentive to what we wanted to see and do. August was a great time to go to Kenya, temperatures were very pleasant. We saw the entire Big 5! We also visited a couple tribes and an orphanage. There was one issue with a lodge, which I think O.T. has now taken care of and we were refunded for the part we overpaid for it. Bottled water was provided for us the entire journey and we got boxed lunches daily from the lodge when we were on the road. We took a hot air balloon ride which was spectacular, followed by a lovely breakfast set up in the bush. What an experience!

A great adventure and we saw it all
Right Choice Tours and Safaris delivered. We were a last minute large group of seventeen. George delivered. Massaging Mara, Lake Nakura, Amboseli. Each park a unique topography with unique animals. Our lodges, keekorok in Masai mar! Lake Nakura lodge and the sibu safari camping Amboseli were great. Our drivers/guides, Jacob, ken, and Willy’s were all good. We saw the big five and much much more.
Right Choice was the right choice. Thank you.
