Gorgeous wildlife and warm, fun people!
Go to Kenya if you get the chance! It was an incredible place and experience, I hope to be back ASAP. My group visited the Masai Mara, Aberdare National Park, and scuba dived off Wasini Island - the Mara had the most incredible biodiversity (birds, mammals, and reptiles) but all experiences were incredible. We found our safari through safaribookings.com and had a great experience - I've been recommending this method & site to everyone.
We went in August & the weather was easy - needed a mid-range sweater in the morning and then down to a tank with long sleeve later in the day. Not too hot but never super cold (definitely will want long sleeves though).
My recommendations - bring good binocs, a good camera, and wildlife identification books purchased at home - it's easier to find them before travelling and they're spendier in the country where you need them. You will be especially happy to have a good camera.

Kenya is an amazing country with beautiful, loving people especially the Maasai people.
Stayed for 2 days in a Maasai village. Will never forget the Maasai people or that experience. I was a woman traveling alone and felt completely comfortable. My Maasai Warrior guide, Solomon, stayed by my side and I felt totally comfortable. Parks were beautiful especially Maasai Mara National Park that had the most diversity of animals and the most gorgeous landscape. I opted to do the drive from Nairobi out to the Mara rather than the plane ride. Was able to see the local people by the side of the road and get the true flavor of the culture and living conditions. Weather was mostly gorgeous. Lake Naivasha was pretty. I definitely want to go back again and spend more time with the Maasai people in their village. Tour operator Namayiana Safaris was fabulous!! Very attentive! TOTALLY AWESOME!!!

Kenya has a very friendly and ambitious service industry struggling to overcome societal blight

national parks themselves)--what would it take to institute a national clean-up campaign? and 2) the constant bombardment to purchase this or that trinket by folks peddling their wares. I guess that's the natural response from a people who have learned that tourism is one of the most profitable ventures going (one of our safari drivers was a mechanical engineer who saw that the income from tourism far outstripped the income from practicing his profession).

Best destination for Safaris!
We went on a Safari to Kenya in August to Masai Mara, Hell’s Gate and Nakuru National Park with the intent of seeing the Big 5, we saw them and a whole lot more! Back of Africa- our tour operator left no stone unturned in providing us the best dream vacation. Allan is super professional- timely in his emails, detailed and very personable! Our driver on the Safari- George made sure we saw all that we wanted to and much more! He’s very knowledgable, fluent in English and very attentive to what we wanted to see. We ended our safari with a leisure two days in Mombasa- the place I grew up and call home. 40 years later , it’s still the best place to me! It is an experience worth going on- I highly recommend a safari to Kenya for animal and action lovers!

issues that can happen during a Safari! He was always polite and respectful, always trying to give us the best experience possible. He asked us what we would like to see and he didn't rest until we saw all of them (the big 5!). He made us feel safe throughout the journey and always kept the good mood going on. I'll definetely ask for Nicky and Silver Spark the next time me or anyone I know decides to do a Safari in Kenya!

4 day 3 night safair in Masa Mari
Saw awesome wildlife. Just about everything I could ask for except for seeing a Rhino, which I hear is very rare. The team was very helpful in handling a small mix up and got me to the airport in plenty of time for international flight.
