Most exciting and amazing vacation ever!

5 / 5 5 /5

Went on a safari vacation in July. Saw 4 of the big 5 on the very first day! We eventually saw all of the Big 5 and what we learned are the "Ugly 5". Every day brought a new experience with new animals/birds added. Highlights were the 3 species of Giraffes, Masai and forest elephants ( all in herds with their families), a pride of 13 lions, ballon ride over the Masai Mara, amazing hippos and rhinos ( all with babies), spotting Leopard on the rock, just to name a few of the everyday experiences. The weather was perfect, cool in the morning and then warmer ( not hot) in the afternoons. Bugs were never an issue. Very good accommodations - lodges and tented lodges ( like glamping). Had few issues with hot water or plumbing but nothing horrible. Most of the food was buffet style with lots of variety and good tasting. The service was excellent. We had a private tour with an excellent guide who spoke several languages. He was able to spot the animals and was very knowledgeable
Read more about the wildlife and Kenya in general. We had a pop up van that I would not recommend. The roads are VERY rough. I think the 4x4 pop up would have been more comfortable for the number of days on Safari(12). After safari we spent 3 days at the beach in Mombasa. Unfortunately, it rained the entire time :(, but it was still a relaxing finish. GREAT trip!

Fantastic wildlife! We got to see all of the "big five" except the rhino. Very skilled and professional guide. The accommodation was very cozy: a tent close to the national park. Out in the wilderness, yet with electricity (via generator) and proper bathroom and shower. Surprisingly good food. An experience for a lifetime!

We were very pleased with our experience on safari tour. We saw almost everything we could have wished to see during our 2 day safari and it was amazing. The drivers took us as close to the animals as possible, we had unlimited water and food was very good as well. Sleeping in tents was as promised. Only thing we did not like was the fact that the second day we were put to another car with different driver and although we were promised a 2h safari they cut it to only 1 hour saying that otherwise we will not make it to the plane (though we discussed already everything via e-mail).

Fabulous Safari

5 / 5 5 /5

Kenya was a wonderful place to have a safari. We went to three separate parks, each of which offered unique environments and animal life, from arid/desert (Samburu) to rift valley lake side (Nakuru) to savannah (the Massai Mara). The Migration in the Massai Mara in August is unbelievable - literally millions of Wildebeests - and not to be missed!.

We had been in safari before in South Africa, and I have to say that the animal in Kenya is much bigger in size and more vibrant in color. We went in July and the weather was beautiful. Nothing beat the hospitality of the Kenyan. It is a place that I would highly recommend everyone to visit, not once but maybe 2 or 3 times at least.

The volume of wildlife in Kenya is phenomenal. The wildebeest during the migration is amazing. There is a lot of driving if you go to multiple parks but once you get to the parks it is brilliant. If you can afford a little more try to stay in resorts inside the national parks.

Our Safari was amazing, we started at Amboseli with some amazing wildlife, hippos, elephants, zebras, baboons, ienas, warthogs, many antelopes and gazelles species and countless wildebeests with a great view of Mt. Kilimanjaro in the back, than moved to Tsavo west and visited an amazing location at Ngulia lodge where we were able to see a leopard feeding and the amazing rhino valley, one of the best scenery of the whole trip. We concluded at Tahita hills in an amazing lodge, Saltlick with elephants and buffalos drinking at the hole in front of the lodge. We licked all the accommodation and the people were very nice and welcoming. Plenty of food and a good variety. Finally we have to thanks Tammy Tours and Tunu that organised our whole tip and our great driver Rahim which was knowledgeable, safe and a great companion for our trip. Thanks again and we will definitely be back to see all other parks that Kenya has to offer.

We went to Lake Naivasha, Baringo, and Nakuru National Park after Masai Maara, all were great with great access to wildlife, although I have to say Mara got everything going on there. We spent 7 days in Mara and it was not enough. Seen practically all the animals we wanted to see and by day 5-7, we wanted to see more of them again. Our guide were amazing and have an extensive knowledge about animal, region and the culture.

As a first timer, Kenya is very recommended, as our trip happened with ease and everything was smooth.
