Incredible experience! If you hesitate stop it and book your safari trip with hyrax. Together with 2 friends we decided to choose 6 days safari in Masai Mara, Amboseli and lake Naivasha. The amount of animals we saw was undescribable. We saw big 5, hundreds of thousands antelope and zebras during the great migration. But the most incredible experience was view of 44 elephants walking thru dry Amboseli lake. Everything because our driver and guide Patrick! He knew everything, was very patient and he shares his love to wild life to us. Car was comfortable even when driving for 10 hours. We upgraded our accommodations and it was a great choise. Everyone during our trip were very friendly and helpful. This 6 days I will remember to the end of my life!

Awesome. God had fun and a sense of humor when creating the country, it's animals and birds.

The safaris by African Paradis Safaris LTD were awesome, 9 of 10. Each park had its own beauty and we saw all the game possible, in incredible quantity. Our guide, Lawrence Muthee, was knowledgeable and ensured that we were always cared for and saw the best possible. Each lodge that we stayed in was a 4* or better. The tent was "gampling" and fun. At no time did we feel any concerns, except that we may not tip enough. I tried to pick a favorite park but couldn't. If we had to shorten our trip, we might skip Lake Naishava. The cultural visit to the Maasai village was another highlight. When we return, we will use the same company and guide. We took an upgrade with a balloon ride. It was worth the added expense. We visited Tsavo East, Amboseli, Lake Naishava, Maasai Mara, Lake Nokuru, Aberdare, and Samburu. Everyone we met was eager to be of assistance.
We went to Zimbabwe and took a game drive there. It was 2 on a scale of 1-10. The Falls was huge and

nice, but, after you've seen the water fall down, it's anti-climatic. Not worth the expense. Not much else to do or see.

September was a great month to travel to Keyna, it was not too hot as it is the end of their short rainy season. The roads were not muddy, no mosquitos this time of year so no malaria to worry about. First time in the 12 years I have been going to Kenya that I did not receive even one bug bite. It was cool at night and I actually slept under a blanket for the first time in 12 years. My experience with the local villages is that they are loving and kind and very appreciative of the little favors done for them.
Wildlife is plentiful, even off the animal reserves. I highly suggest every tourist get off the beaten path and go slumming in the villages, you will love it! Eat the local foods, and stay in the non-tourist places for a true taste of Kenya.

A beautiful country with a lot of nice people, stunning landscape, the admirable Mpesa and other tech innovation. A country with huge potentials and problems as well.

My adult daughter and I had an amazing time on our tour! You see documentaries on TV and pictures in magazines but to be there and see the animals up close is indescribable! We got so much more out of this trip that we had hoped for. I also recommend paying extra to do a sunrise hot air balloon tour so you can see everything from hundreds of feet above. I hope to have the chance to return to Kenya someday!

It really was an amazing trip. The local people in Kenya are very enthusiastic. Kenya is also very beautiful, and Mount Kilimanjaro is particularly spectacular. And those animals, which are not at all different from the zoo, are very lively. The trip was perfect, here I have to mention Meektrails Safaris company and tour guide Eric, this company is very professional, Eric is also very kind, met all our requests, we saw all the animals! Thank you so much, this trip will be unforgettable.

We had a great time of 5 days in 3 parks: Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. If you go there, twist it around and start with Amboseli and make sure to spend the most time in Masai Mara.

We visited Massai MaraLake Nakura and Ambaseli. Brilliant lodges and camps in fabulous surroundings, good food. We saw the Big 5 plus so much more, we had an amazing driver called Jackton who was so knowledgeable and got us the best views, the whole Safari was organised brilliantly by Apodiformes, special mention of Silas who takes care of everything. We found Kenya beautiful and so interesting. Great hospitality and kindness everywhere we went.

I don't think you could beat Kenya for the wildlife, the hospitality and beauty.
