It’s worth visiting to see and enjoy wildlife.

It was a nice experience to visit and join the tour to safari. We really enjoy the all of the experience. However I was disappointed its weather in this season. We couldn’t see Mt.Kilimanjaro. It’s better for you to consider the best season.

Fantastic safari destination which should be more welcoming at the airport and SGR train station

Taita Hills Conservancy is exceptionally well maintained and has a low density of safari vehicles. Travelling by train in 1st Class was very comfortable but I wish we had been informed in advance of the extensive list of prohibited items, which includes Duty Free, and the corrupt security guards that look for bribes. Nairobi is great for shopping, but Kenya does not offer VAT Refund for tourists; venturing outside the malls for a couple of specialty items was very stressful. The hotels we stayed in were excellent and had a large variety of food options.

A place makes me makes me want to visit again

I still could not believe it that I brought my flight tickets two weeks after got back from Kenya. Why? Just wish had more time to explore more and enjoy the wild and safari game, also the beautiful and cozy camp sites. This is my first trip ever to Africa, and it totally opens a new door of new world to see for me. The landscape and wild life are amazing, and what's even better is that I can enjoy the wild but with well developed accommodations in the wild. kenya is the perfect start point for someone who never been to African and experienced Safari, because it's not that huge in distance between park, even driving are tolerable, and the accommodations business are mature with more options, also most importantly, high density of wild life in Masai Mara, and unique Amboseli to see the wild life with beautiful Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background.

Beautiful country with many animals

Kenya is a very beautiful country with many animals. We were able to spot many animals and had a great experience. The guides keep each other informed where the wild animals can be found. It is definitely recommended to do this with a guide because Masai Mara is very large. We stayed in a lodge just outside the NP and that was a super nice lodge. Kenya definitely worth going to.

is another world

Kenya is a fascinating experience, it allows you to get to know a reality very different from the European one. The management of the natural parks is very good although very expensive and certainly their landscapes are very great and the drivers (at least the one that touched us) expert when it comes to locating animals (lions, cheetahs, rhinoceroses).

DRIVERS IN KENYA should be more careful when driving. I was really scared many days because the way of driving there is horrible.

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

Kenya is the go-to place for wildlife enthusiasts

The national parks and reserves in Kenya are world class safari destinations. Masai Mara is magnificent, but personally I preferred Amboseli because of the various landscapes and huge amount of elephants. Also Lakes Naivasha and Nakuru are definitely worth checking out, especially for bird lovers. The weather in June was somewhat chilly, so you will want to bring a jacket with you. All the Kenyan people we met were extremely friendly, although the service culture and infrastructure are still developing. The scariest thing I encountered was the traffic culture, so think twice before renting a car. A safari company with a driver is a good option.

amazing

The guides for the Mari Triangle and the staff of & beyond resort were fabulous. Their attention to detail and courtesy were the best I have seen in years! Game drives never failed to delight! The variety of animals, watching their behaviors without needing binoculars, was a reminder of the variety of creatures in the world that one hopes will remain safe always. Go, expand your mind and heart in Kenya!
