Perfect weather in January with animals at the water holes. Explorer Kenya Safaris arranged an excellent itinerary, accommodation, vehicle and driver. Perfect for seeing a variety of wildlife and scenery. All the Kenyan people were so friendly and helpful with wonderful fresh tasty food. After the safari it was perfect to have a beachside holiday to enjoy the sea, sand, local people and wildlife.

Me and my boyfriend booked a 3days safari trip, we welcomed in Nairobi by our guide Francis and our rider, we arrived in about 4hours in Masai Mara reserve, a beautiful reserve in the middle of Kenya. The reserve were very green, full of animals that we meet at the first step. We found giraffes, zebras, buffalo,many lions, elephants and many other animals. The camp was very nice and cozy, a nice tent in the middle of the reserve with all the comfort (big double room, shower and bath) always keep safe by our guardian Masai. The chef at the camp cooked nice dinner and lunch for us and all the staffs were very polite and kind.

We can not explain the big emotions when we met the first animal because you need to feel it, to understand it.

Many thanks to all the team that organized the tour.

In Nairobi, modern high-rises and shabby shacks are both present. No one obeys traffic rules. Uber is efficient and cheap. The streets are littered with rubbish all over the country. Tap water is undrinkable. People are friendly. The weather was not summery in January when we were there, it rained a lot and you needed a light jacket.
We went on a 3 days safari to the Masai Mara with Axis African Travel. The organisation was excellent, everything went as agreed. Unfortunately we were given a bad tour guide, James, who didn't inform us of anything, just sped us around the national park for 2 days. He had a hard time even stopping for a photo. Whenever a special animal appeared, all the tourist jeeps would rush up and chase it, surround it, block its way. They literally do animal cruelty.
We spent 3 days at Diani Beach. The sea is crystal clear and warm, the beach is fine sand and the water is slowly deepening. We took a glass bottom boat to nearby Robinson Reef to see
Read more corals and colourful fish. The locals don't take care of the marine life. Most of the corals are dead, the fish are fed bread for tourists and the boat crews collect red starfish for visitors.
Walking through the streets we felt in no danger. We did not go out in the evenings. There were panhandlers, but not to an excessive extent.
The Nairobi - Mombasa railway is clean, cheap and punctual.
Overall, Kenya is well worth a visit.

The geothermal spa provided intense relaxation and healing. The Naivasha boat tour was beautiful and educational. The tour driver was perfect!

Amazing! We had the most amazing time on our tour around Kenya. John our driver/guide was informative, helpful and pleasant. We got to see the big 5 and many many more! The staff at Super Eagles were prompt in answering any questions we had before our trip. I'd definitely recommend this tour and company. All staff at our accommodation were very friendly and accommodating.

Breathtaking scenery, amazing amount of animals and birds - a DREAM trip

Our trip to Kenya was everything we dreamed of and more! We did a private safari for 7 days with Kichaka Tours and it was wonderful. We visited Amboseli National Park, Lake Naivasha/Hell's Gate National Park, and Maasai Mara Reserve/Mara Triangle. Every stop was perfect and had its own unique offerings. We were in awe of the sheer amount of animals we saw and were lucky enough to see not only all of the Big Five, but also a cheetah kill (in Amboseli!). The views at all the parks were serene. We never really felt unsafe for the whole trip, though the driving outside of the parks can feel a bit wild. One thing to flag is that if you choose to go to several parks, but aware that it will require LONG days in the car - each trip across parks seemed to be another 5-6 hour drive, which got a bit draining. But again, very worth it for us as each park had its own unique offerings. I'm glad we chose to cut out a 4th park and stay one extra night in Maasai Mara - definitely recommend this.
Read more Also, if you have a chance to go to the Mara Triangle while in Maasai Mara, I recommend this as well - it was quieter with less cars but all the same animals. Nearly everyone we met in the service industry was incredibly kind. We would go back in a heartbeat and would love to explore more of the parks!
