Kenya is a wonderful country to be visited: good food, good people and a unique nature show . Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake naivasha and Masai Mara are amazing natural parks where you can enjoy wildlife a stunning. I was with BIg Mac SAfari Africa and they were top safari tour operator

It exceeded my expectations

Despite reading that December might not be the best month, we have had a great time.
The weather has been great, it only rained a couple of times during the night.

Nairobi is a mix of old and new, poverty and wealth, a painful clash.

The scenery and wildlife are unbeatable, especially if you spend the nights in tented camps and mix with the locals.

The road network is complicated and the traffic is a major issue. It takes way longer than expected to move from a to b. Double the time that Google maps tells you.

The only downside: merchants insist too much with selling items to tourists at extortionate rates, steer away from the "curio shops" and be prepared for maasai women standing outside park entrances asking for money - whilst it is understandable that they need to make a living, it becomes uncomfortable after you had to say no a million times.

Fantastic trip - friendly locals, great services, breathtaking national parks, pristine beaches!

I loved my time spent in Kenya. I had two weeks and spent some time in Nairobi which is a great developed city with great services, friendly locals and as a single female traveler I felt very safe. You can catch Uber anywhere to move around, very simple and safe. The climate is much milder, does not get as hot as in lower lying areas due to Nairobi's altitude of 1800 above the sea level.
Did a three day safari in Amboseli national park by Mt. Kilimanjaro, saw loads of animals and all vent to plan as expected when booking the trip.
I also flew from Nairobi to Mombasa for New Years eve celebrations and stayed on the coast for four days. It was much hotter there and more humid, tropical paradise. You can just relax on the beach or do some of many activities available. I did scuba diving at the Bamburi marine park which was a breathtaking experience. So many tropical fish surrounding the coral reefs with clean calm waters.
Another great experience was visiting the
Read more Haller park which is again filled with many animals and visitors get a unique experience of seeing them from close up.
Overall I loved Kenya, this was not my first time and is definitely not going to be my last time either.

Mesmerizing Kenya

I was very fortunate to book the 3-day Masai Mara tour organized by Jocky Tours, at short notice. It was extremely well-organized/conducted tour in the incomparable Masai Mara National Park.

The Park itself is a very well-protected, professionally-maintained area. The welfare of animals as well as the safety/enjoyment of visiting tourists is very well taken care of. The slightly high entry fees is very well-justified.

Its a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you should never miss. Allow the abundant love and hospitality of Kenyans overwhelm you. Go Kenya

Journey to the grasslands

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 4 / 5

One of the best places to experience wildlife up close in their natural habitat plus the grasslands give us an added advantage to spot them more easily than other country national parks.

We had booked our trip with Safari Gates and they did an overall good job from the start but coordination was a little amiss between the driver and the main team.

However, the trip was fulfilling which was the main thing. We visited three parks, Amboseli, Nakuru, and Masai Mara over 6 days. The best experience was Masai Mara where we were lucky enough to witness a hunt by a pack of lions. Landscape-wise, Nakuru was stunning with the beautiful lake spreading across the park with flamingos dotting the shores.

The whole experience left me wanting more, to plan a future visit soon.

Safari in Maasai Mara

We booked out trip through Rustic Africa Safari. Excelent service and follow up from our first email, and out driver and guide, Steven, made our trip unforgettable. He was friendly and service minded and had the knowledge of culture and animals that made it easy for us to enjoy our trip. Kenya and Maasai Mara was really beautiful. We saw a lot of animals and the landscape was wonderful. We would love to visit Maasai Mara again.

We would like to recommend this wonderful tour of Tsavo East. Communication was a challenge for us but the operator surmounted all the obstacles and managed to keep us informed prior to the trip. All the logistics flowed smoothly. Our driver/guide was a personable fellow who made us feel safe both among the 4-wheeled beasts on the highway and the 4-legged beasts in the park. We had been told that Tsavo East might not provide as rich a viewing experience as other more extensive excursions, but we were delighted by the many animals Katana was able to locate. Seeing these fellow creatures in their natural habitat is an unforgettable experience. We are so grateful to have found an excursion that met our budgetary constraints and that in every other way exceeded our expectations.

Amazing country, from city, to coast, to safari...

We had an amazing time in Nairobi, but the highlight was the coast, at Watamu, and safari (with Tazama African Holidays). We would recommend a stay at the Kobe Suite Resort in Watamu. Amazing place right on the beach. Brilliant rooms, service and location. We went on safari to the Maasai Mara and stayed at the Entim Mara camp. We paid a bit more, but well worth it - such an awesome location. Antony, our driver, was incredible and we saw just about everything possible over two days. Loved it all in Kenya.
