Nice, but too touristic.
I do not like it as drivers call each other during the safari. Whem one of them spots something, other drivers drive like crazy through the park ending with ten of cars at the animals the one driver spotted. This does not give me a safari feeling.

Totaly different from Europe.
This was great experience. Totaly diffrent from Europe. Nairobi was interesting… not for walking on the streets as white person but great as experience. Overal semi-safe. Too much of a poverty. The best was Maasai ostrich farm and riding the ostrich - dream came true.
Safari in Masai Mara excceded our expetations. We saw the whole Big five and many different animals. It was great. We would do it all again anytime.

Kenya's wildlife and nature are unforgettable
We had an amazing time in Kenia and saw a lot of different animals.
We almost saw all big five, with only the lepard missing. Which is quite difficult to catch.
Every park has it's own charme and are really welcoming.
We visited Lake Nakuru, Ambosseli and Masai mara.
Our higlight was all the elefants in Ambosseli.
A big let down was the change of the price politic.
At Masai Mara f.e. the few was increased from 70 to 100$ and the entrance wasn't for 24 hours anymore.
They are also planning on increasing it to 200$ by june. Wa of milking the tourist.
Another problem was the opening hours from 06:30-18:30, which meant that it wasn't possible to see the night life of the big cats.
But it's understandable because the park is beeing protected by night against the poarchers.
We would recommend it to everyone, but you have to plan to go as early in the morning as possible and stay the whole day in the park with lunch inside.

Travelling in Kenya can be tiring because of the long road trips, but it definitely worth it !
Second time in Kenya. My impression is that the country developed in fifteen years and it's definitely moving forward. I think the overall level of services, welcoming and staff professionalism is good compare to some other countries I've been. We generally found our trip enjoyable because we didn't suffer any unexpected issue or lack of organisation, etc.
However, keep in mind that the road trips between the parks can be long and exhausting. Plus it is sometime necessary to depart early in the morning. But it totally worth it ! The scenery is exceptional and the wildlife we could observe was so numerous ! Yet, keep in mind that Kenya is a touristic destination, so in the parks we sometimes felt hard to find ourselves in the middle of nowhere enjoying the moment : so many Land Cruisers and vans around the Lions !
Regarding the security, we felt safe everywhere, in particular in Nairobi where the hotels are equipped with high end security equipment...

The African skies were amazing a contrast to Malawi
I spent 3 nights in the Masa Mara between volunteering in Malawi and Kenya. It was an amazing interlude between the 2 countries and we had 2 excellent guides and drivers. It's possible to see some fantastic game without spending a fortune by staying outside the park boundary. This is not luxury but more than adequate with ample food and some timed internet. The scenery was amazing.

Beautiful
Kenya is a beauty, it's national parks especially Amboseli and Masai Mara are a must visit. Nairobi is a big city and reminded me of an Indian city.

Very beautiful, a place to see wild animals from a very close distance.
Wild like is so close to you that you might wonder if it is "wild". Nevertheless is very exicintg and interesting.

Perfect place to safely enjoy wildlife
We had the opportunity to book a safari with Bushthorns Adventure and it was the best decision we could have made. We got a package including Lake Nakuru, Aberdare National Park and Olpejeta Natural Reserve. Guides were knowledgeable, kind and caring, always taking our security as number one priority and driving us to the best spots to see the astonishing wildlife. We got to see almost every animal we wanted! Totally recommend it.

A wonderful place is worthy re-visiting once more
It was an amazing experience while joined 3 days tour to Maasai Mera National reserved with Axis Africa Safari team. The vast plain and fruitful wildlife animal species moved around this beautiful place which I enjoyed this trip a lot. The scenes and atmosphere is quick diversified than Asia's that re-caped my memories of "Lion King" of movie session. To visit Maasai vibe village also is another new experience that realized the traditional life style and modern new technique conflicted each other in their daily life and habitat area . This also made Maasai vibe struggling to find out a new way out with mobilization.
However, this is a pleasant journey being worth taking time to see around and experienced place. Highly recommended.
