A very interesting trip to a wonderful country
Overall rating
5/5

We had a wonderful week. We started in Watamu with two days swimming and relaxing. Then we had a three days safari with Tanke Tour Safari. Our driver/ guide was really good, we saw a lot of animals. After that we returned to Watamu again. Another hotel this time and some days at the beach again before we returned back home.

Majestic and Magical
Overall rating
5/5

We choose to safari in Kenya based on some feedback from friends and family, and someone who had just visited the Masai Mara National Park. Their descriptions were so beautiful we looked into it. It was truly magnificent. We were able to fly direct from NY to Nairobi (a huge plus for us!) and experience five national parks. The landscape at each one was unique and different. We saw an abundance of the big 5 and more. The people, places we stayed, everyone we interacted with were just wonderful. We are telling everyone we know - it is a trip of a lifetime.

First of all we want to thank Sovereign Adventures for all the kindness they gave us and also for permitting us to do our safari by helping us to get our visa which was very difficult.
We had a fantastic time in Kenya with our guide Francis who was very helpful and knew everything about the trip, places , animals , countryside …. We will definitely come back to visit other places in Kenya and hopefully do it again with Sovereign Adventures and Francis if possible.
We went to Amboseli Park with beautiful views of the Kilimandjaro then 2 lakes (Nakuru and Naivasha) and we ended in Masai Mara Park. The hotels were very nice as well as the food. We saw all animals and plenty of them , this was a great experience. Everyone was so nice to us and Kenyan people were very welcoming. I do hope that we will be able to go back soon.

Ensure you book your safari from Karibu Safari. Raymond was the best!

2 nights spent in a luxury tent and 3 full days of activities, something to remember!

EVERYONE SHOULD VISIT KENYA
Overall rating
5/5

I went to Kenya as a volunteer , and I was with poor kids that were abandoned or abused. Although it was the sad part of our trip because you see a different world and my heart was breaking everything I was there, their smiles was making my day and made me happy.
After volunteering , we went for safari… Best experience ever. Safari in Masai Mara was unique. They say that it is a once in a lifetime experience but personally I can’t wait till the next time I will travel to Kenya and live this again

Kenya, a mesmerizing destination, captivates with its diverse landscapes, from the stunning Maasai Mara savannah to the picturesque coastline. Immerse yourself in rich wildlife at national parks, witness the Great Migration, and experience vibrant cultures. Kenya, a jewel of East Africa, promises an unforgettable adventure blending nature and tradition.

Magnificent
Overall rating
5/5

We have planned 5 days of safari and 2 days in Nairobi - which turned out to be a great plan for our family. Our daughter is 8 years old so she felt comfortable travelling for extended hours in the car and also getting to know a lot of new information. For families with smaller kids I would suggest to reduce the safari time as it can be quite tiring.
We have been amazed first of all with the fresh air and cleanliness of Kenya (compared to the West Africa where we have been before coming to Kenya). The city is very vivid, travelers would find any type of cuisine and a very warm welcome from local people.
A separate blast of emotions was caused by the safari itself. It has been a dream to walk next to giraffes and watch the lioness eating her prey from the car. We were lucky to see the 4 out of the Big 5 (leopards were quite shy those days and hid from us). For those people who saw Africa on National geographic and Discovery channels - that's the picture from your TV!
All of the places where we stayed (we chose a medium level of comfort) had clean and nice bedrooms, tasty food and good wi-fi.
I haven't noticed too many mosquitos or any other type of insects that might make you feel uncomfortable.
I definitely recommend going to Kenya - now it became visa-free, so even more reachable.
Before coming to Kenya I read that your impression and safari success heavily depends on the guide, we were very lucky to Guideon from Meektrails Safaris as our reliable and caring guide, overall level of organization was very high and I would also recommend this tour operator.

Marvellous Kenya
Overall rating
5/5

My recent trip to Kenya was an unforgettable adventure filled with diverse landscapes, rich wildlife, and warm hospitality. From the vast savannahs of the Maasai Mara to the breathtaking views of Mount Kenya, every moment offered a new and awe-inspiring experience. The wildlife safaris surpassed my expectations, allowing me to witness the iconic Big Five in their natural habitat. The local culture and traditions shared by the Maasai people added a unique and authentic touch to my journey. The accommodations were comfortable, and the delicious Kenyan cuisine further enhanced the overall experience. Kenya truly left an indelible mark on my heart, making it a destination I would eagerly recommend to fellow travelers seeking both adventure and cultural immersion.
