Wild
Amazing experience in the nationals parks, we saw a lot of wildlife and learn through our guide jimmi from lenchada tours a lot about kenyan culture and biodiversity. The tours are all very similar in all agencies and the tours and places where we stay as accommodation had all requirements and good food in all of them and some have even pool to enjoy. I didn't feel unsafe in nairobi however always be cautious as every big city and when you go to shop people will always try to sell you something so be mindfull as they initially offer an elevate price but this can be negotiable in all places. I went in july so the weather was great as was chill in the morning and not very hot in afternoon. In general was a great experience recomended for solo travellers or in family. You will definitely enjoy just always keep your guide about your itinerary as when you take share tours people may have different ones.

Beautiful landscape, nice food, the people we meet were very friendly
We had a very good time in our safari. We went in Ambosoli and viewed lots of animals and the lodge (Elewana Tortillis) was a very good place to be. In Masai Mara we stayed in Emboo River Camp who's the best place we had in this safari. They have a very good sustainable concept with their own energy production, rational use of water for their garden and recovery of kitchen waste to produce biogas. In the Masai Mara we also had the chance to see wild animals up close, including a cheetah that hunted a tompson gazelle. During our five-day safari, we saw elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffalo, hippos, lions, crocodiles, a cheetah and many other wild animals and birds. We highly recommend Betty and Amos for organising a safari. It's the first time we've had such a warm welcome. Their driver Ruben and their French guide Ezechiel also accompanied us very warmly during our stay. Thank you for the perfect organisation!

An incredible experience that all travellers should experience
A beautiful country with amazing scenery. I went with my family and it was an eye opening experience for the whole family. I think after this trip we respect nature more and other cultures.

Incredible hospitality, incredible views.
As a whole, Kenya was an incredible experience. Everyone we met, from strangers to lodge workers, was very friendly and accommodating and went above and beyond. Driving through the parks was a surreal experience and we felt fortunate to be there and witness the animals in their element as well as just the amazing landscapes. We never felt unsafe at all, just welcomed. Highly recommend.

Very friendly people and beautiful/different landscape with fantastic variety of wild animals
We stayed 2 days in Nairobi (National Museum, ...) and did a 8 days game drive to 5 National Parks, excellent organized by Leopard Orchid Safaris with Patrick, a very good driver and with excellent knowledge of Parks and animals. We experienced very friendly people all over the country, a beautiful but also very different landscape and a fantastic variety of wild animals. Including some extraordinary adventures like stuck in a waterhole or "fighting" with an adult male baboon for bread ;-) - we got definitely more than expected. Our stay in different lodges was also to our absolutely satisfaction, including delicious meals. We would recommend to stay overnight at Amboseli and Lake Nakuru also inside the Park to have more time for the game drive. In total, an outstanding experience and fantastic holidays.

A must-do experience
Very well organised, incredibly safe, with the expert help of professional personal tour guide makes the trip even better than what we had imagined.
Right Choice Safaris shows you not only the amazing scenery and beautiful wildlife, but also the equally important true side of Kenya, while driving up and down the country with a different sight each day.
Would recommend to anyone, but especially to first time safari-goers - their experience and expertise allows you to focus only on the trip and make you feel like the center of attention.

Great Trip
The camp was welcoming and the room generous and comfortable. The only surprise was the hot water bottle at the foot of my bed, which I thought was a small animal!
The afternoon included a stop at a Masai village where, for $30, you could get a tour of their homes and see some dancing. It was a fine experience, but I would have preferred not to have been given a tour of their wares with the expectation of a purchase at the end.
The ride to the game park was only interrupted by a gaggle of women animatedly selling their wares with calls of “Jambo, Hello! All for $10!” As I awaited my driver paying the entrance

fee.The park was amazing! I was able to see Zebra, Giraffes, and Water Buffalo within minutes of entering. The next two days were equally exciting as we saw Cheetah, lions, Hippos, Topi, Hyenas, Impala, Elephants, a Leopard, and many birds. The only one of the Big Five I didn’t see was a Rhino.
Overall, it was a great trip and made even greater by my guide, with his eagle eyes and kind demeanor, Charles.

Absolutely Magical (especially during the off-season!)
Before setting off for this trip, I was nervous about traveling during the off-season/wet season, as I wasn't sure if it would affect the possibilities of sightseeing and the success of the game drives. However, my experience in Masai Mara was incredible and I managed to see so much wildlife in the three days there (including 4 of the big 5).
I was lucky to arrive right after some heavy rains which made it so the lush vegetation attracted a lot of herbivores out. I was also lucky that my guide was very involved and interested in the success of my trip and actively seek out opportunities for us to see new animals.
We occasionally saw other cars but due to the off-season, my trip truly felt like a private tour. I would definitely recommend going during this time!

What an amazing experience!
I hesitated a lot between a private trip (but I was alone) and a group trip. And in the choice of tour operator.
I have no regrets about the group trip, Sermon Safaris or our fantastic guide.
The guide had a real desire to help us discover as much as possible, a perfect driving style, unfailing patience and a keen eye for spotting the slightest animal in the savannah.
I brought back hundreds of photos and memories.
I got to see all 5 bigs.
Without a doubt, for the avid vyager that I am, an unforgettable experience.
I'll be going back with my family, husband and daughter, and my friends have already made a date because they loved the photos they took.
Thanks to the guide and tour operator

We loved our stay in Masai Mara. The nature , weather, wildlife and the scenery was at its best.
We had a 4day stay in Masai Mara and 1day stay at Lake Nakuru. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The lodge we stayed Ashnil Mara camp had a beautiful setting , the staff were very welcoming . Our tour operators “safariline defender tours ’ were easy to book with and the tour guide gave his best for my family of 4 to ensure we see the wildlife at its best and up close .
The one day trip to lake Nakuru was worth it as we missed out on sighting Rhinos at MM and were able to see at Nakuru. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Kenya
