Kenya Travel Guide

Amazing!

We had so much fun! The wildlife was amazing, we could see the big 5 so close to us. The beaches are beautiful, never seen whiter sand before. The night life was rich, safe and great. The people very kind, open and willing to get to know you. The food was exquisite, everything we ate was delicious. We had an amazing experience.

Beatiful parks and many many animals.

Amazing wildlife

It was amazing to see wildlife from so close. The nature is beutiful and each park is different. In some you can come close to animals. Diani beach has whote sand and blue sea. One of the best adventures I had

Amazing wildlife

We were a group of 5 colleagues who had some spare time at the end of our trip and decided we wanted to do a safari in the Masai Mara. I found Hyrax safaris and they were extremely responsive over what’s app which was really handy due to the time difference. Hyrax were good at sorting out our different room configurations and found us great quality accomodation at Sarova Mara. I would recommend the hotel, we had a room looking out over the reserve. We opted to be driven to the Mara (about 6 hours), I’m glad we did because we saw so much on the journey and there were plenty of stops to stretch your legs. Our guide Aaron was excellent, really knowledgeable and was also flexible about what times we did our drives. I enjoyed doing a full days drive as we saw so much but some of my colleagues found a whole day game drive a bit too much. I’m sure you’d be able to split it into two of you wanted. I would recommend using Hyrax safaris for your safari booking.

A beautiful country with beautiful people

'Habari' after 43 years arrival in Mombasa Port, experienced in that time already a Safari with a big part of the Crew. I was told to take this opportunity as possible will never come anymore in my life. People from Kenya are where I am always looking for as living in a country full expat and found a few always friendly and 'Hakuna Matata'. This time arrived in Nairobi and now with a family, picked up from the airport by a friendly Maasai, 'Jambo Bwana' (Brighte Maasai Adventures). Above all we had two Maasai people who took care of my family, if their own and did everything to have the best time of their life. Thanks to 'from above' we had beautiful weather! (for us temperatures in heaven specific in the summer, as living in one of the hottest places on earth) And so many animals let us make beautiful photos in all 3 parks, to remember as from 43 years earlier 'only in my mind'.
Hakuna Matata, as holidays should be different from our daily 'struggle of life.' Thanks for our great experience, and our kids, both already adults shall never forget.

Wide ranging wild life in large numbers throughout the country marred by inadequate infrastructure.

My Blue Mountain Safari 5 day tour was very much as advertised, both positively and negatively and overall quite enjoyable.

Positively, I can say that during the 5 days we say virtually all the animals it had indicated we likely would, often in large numbers and at times close up. In the parks the animals showed almost no fear of man as we stayed within the vehicles as directed by guide/driver and they have been conditioned not to be concerned about them since they have not been hunted. In our limited interaction with the Keyan service workers before, during and after the safari they were always polite and generally quite helpful once the issue was clearly understood.

Negatively, I had chosen a budget level of accommodations and at times it showed more than expected. Also, the Masai Mara tribal visit and vendors were overtly always seeking to profit of one's interest in their tribal / cultural traditions so limiting the quality of the interaction and to a degree diminishing their dignity and limiting what could be learned from them directly.

AMAZING BREATHLESS COUNTRY WITH A HUGE AMOUNT OF THIGS TO IMPROVE

I never expected how much and deeply this country impressed us.
We have been for two weeks in Nairobi, Massai Mara Nakuru Naivasha Hell´s Gate Mombassa Diani Beach, and Lamu.
No words to describe all the wild beauty of the country
Six National parks, big five, ugly five, elephants orphanage, and giraffe orphanage, snake park...
We meet people Massai and Kikuyu and are with them (out of the tourist ambiance) and speak with foreign residents from Italy Spain and England.
We read the history of the country and visited Nairobi's museums where our guide explain us much more than a book.
We feel very safe
But, it's so obvious that the country needs to improve a lot of things in order to attract tourism to visit this impressive beautiful, and historical country beyond visiting national parks.
Roads, trains, unexisting public transport, cleaning and appearance of the cities and beaches (look at the capital)
Nonetheless, I'll be back the soon as I can
