The roads to the various safari's could be better, esp the one going to the Masai Mara.

A perfect holiday!

5 / 5 5 /5

This was one of the most perfect holidays we had so far with our family. We've seen so many wildlife, the big five, beautiful birds and the scenery was just lovely. Our guide was very professional but built a quick and great relationship with the whole family. He went out of the way to make us feel comfortable and we always felt save. Highlights - definitely the hot air balloon ride with a fantastic champagne breakfast over the Masai Mara and then Kilimanjaro ! We were very impressed with all the lodges but the favourite was Osero Lodge - tents were beautiful, staff GREAT! Next time we would stay in tents every where! Kenya will definitely see ua again AND we shall choose "Kenya Walking Safaris" again!

Breathtaking views and wildlife sightings - one of the best experiences of my life!

I booked a 3 day, 2 night safari in the Maasai Mara for myself, my husband and two friends to travel in late December. All staff members were very helpful and informative, from Alex who answered all my questions via email, to Joseph who transported us from Nairobi to Naroc and told us lots of interesting facts along the way. We were collected in Naroc by Evans in a 4x4 Land Cruiser (definitely choose that option when booking - you won't regret it!) and enjoyed the beautiful and bumpy ride to the Maasai Mara. We went on an afternoon/evening game drive, then were taken back to our accommodation, Sopa Lodge, for a delicious buffet-style evening meal. As we walked back to our bungalows for the night, our security guard told us to stop and listen - in the forest surrounding our lodge was a family of elephants eating trees and bushes! We couldn't see them as it was so dark, but listening to them eating, breathing and communicating was magical. We were up early the next morning for a
Read more full day in the park, and were lucky enough to see the Big 5, as well as lots of other animals such as cheetahs, hippos, ostriches, zebras, giraffes, jackals etc. Evans was a fantastic guide, and made sure we were successful in finding even the most elusive of animals such as a leopard and a black rhino. We had fantastic weather throughout our trip, and loved having a chance to have a picnic on the plains of the Maasai Mara! Thank you to everyone involved in making our holiday one of the best experiences of our lives!

I spent a week on holidays in Kenya. This was not a typical safari, as I booked my own accommodation and went on a range of day safaris, with different companies. I started and finished in Nairobi, and in between stayed a few nights in Nakuru and Naivasha. My first safari was to Nairobi National Park, where I was amazed to see so many animals within the first couple of hours of entering the Park. This included getting very, very, close to a lion, thanks to my great guide. I went to Lake Nakuru National Park and again saw lots of wildlife, and my guides looked after me well, including helping me when I arrived at my next accommodation and making sure I had transport to my next destinations. At Lake Baringo my guide showed an impressive knowledge of the local birds. I really enjoyed the opportunity to walk around Crescent Island in Lake Naivasha, including getting very close to giraffes.
In addition to these organised safaris, I also enjoyed walking around Hell's Gate National
Read more Park, visiting various places in Nairobi such as Nairobi National Museum and the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, eating some tasty fish, and swimming in the sunshine! A great adventure all round.

Kenya is a Magical Place

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 0 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5


Kenya is beautiful. The vast savannas with wildlife were more than what I imagined. We visited the Masai Mara in January, it had rained the week before, and for a couple of hours overnight while we were there, so it was very green.
Our accommodations were excellent and most importantly, all the people we met were friendly and helpful. We felt they all wanted to be of service. The food was good. Our guide from Spirit of Africa was very knowledgeable, competent at driving us on difficult dirt roads and aware of where to go to see animals. He was patient with us allowing us time to take photos when we let him know we wanted to stay. He also had a good relationship with all the people we came in contact with along the way.
The animals on the safari were a highlight - a lioness guarding her cubs, elephants traveling together with their young, a giraffe walking with 2 young ones a seated giraffe - wow, plus lots of gazelles and a variety of other animals. It was really quite exciting to be there.

We had chosen to spend our Christmas on Safari, here we had some years ago been to SA and Kruger Park. This was a complete different experience, we liked it a lot and thanks to our fantastic driver James, we managed to see all big 5's in one day at Masai Mare

I don't know if we were lucky with Amazing Safarie's and their driver James, whom took us round for one week, he was pleasant, with knowledge and every thing went smooth, accommodation food and transport all worked very well !

We would not hesitate to use same company and driver on our next safari

Amazing safari week by BeaconSafaris visiting Masai Mara, Nakuru, Amboseli, West and East Tsavo. High class driver/guide, pleasant true luxury accommodation in lodges inside parks. No words about nature and wildlife-only senses and emotions. Attractive 1week stay on ocean cost in Miami Beach.
