Super nice country, lots of animals, nice open people
Three days wildlife in Masai Mara were great, easy booking and reliable with Axis Africa Safaris. Lake Naivasha and nearby volcano also very nice. Diani Beach top! We reached it comfortable with train from Nairobi to Mombasa and Uber to Diani. Everywhere upper range hotels but also budget. Travelling by busses is easy. People are always helpful and like to talk. There are many sights left to visit. We have to come back.

Amazing country, amazing people, one of my favorite destinations. Get off the beaten trails.
September was a great month to travel to Keyna, it was not too hot as it is the end of their short rainy season. The roads were not muddy, no mosquitos this time of year so no malaria to worry about. First time in the 12 years I have been going to Kenya that I did not receive even one bug bite. It was cool at night and I actually slept under a blanket for the first time in 12 years. My experience with the local villages is that they are loving and kind and very appreciative of the little favors done for them.
Wildlife is plentiful, even off the animal reserves. I highly suggest every tourist get off the beaten path and go slumming in the villages, you will love it! Eat the local foods, and stay in the non-tourist places for a true taste of Kenya.

Lovely country
Amazing national parks. We went to Tsavo, Amboseli and Maasai Mara and all of them were surprising. Kenya really cares its parks.

Fantastic
A beautiful country with a lot of nice people, stunning landscape, the admirable Mpesa and other tech innovation. A country with huge potentials and problems as well.

Wildlife and culture
Perfect for wildlife Safari, multicultural full of life cities, really nice people.
You really can feel and see how climate changes are affecting the world.
You can really get to know kenians and reflect on how basic is not always warranted.

Massai mara 3day safari and lake navaisha
We did a three day safari with meektrails and our guide antony.
We were picked up and dropped off at Nairobi airport all included in the price.
Our guide was antony who was excellent throughout in being flexible and getting us to see all the big amimals and the small ones aswell!
Game drives in the massai mara are an incredible experience and would recommend to anyone, especially worth getting up early for the dawn drives as this is when the animals are most active.
Lake navaisha was good but less spectacular although worth the visit if you have time. We stayed at AA lodge which was functional and reasonable but not luxurious.

Amazing Destination!
My adult daughter and I had an amazing time on our tour! You see documentaries on TV and pictures in magazines but to be there and see the animals up close is indescribable! We got so much more out of this trip that we had hoped for. I also recommend paying extra to do a sunrise hot air balloon tour so you can see everything from hundreds of feet above. I hope to have the chance to return to Kenya someday!

It's an amazing place.
It really was an amazing trip. The local people in Kenya are very enthusiastic. Kenya is also very beautiful, and Mount Kilimanjaro is particularly spectacular. And those animals, which are not at all different from the zoo, are very lively. The trip was perfect, here I have to mention Meektrails Safaris company and tour guide Eric, this company is very professional, Eric is also very kind, met all our requests, we saw all the animals! Thank you so much, this trip will be unforgettable.

Masai Mara is breathtaking
We had a great time of 5 days in 3 parks: Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. If you go there, twist it around and start with Amboseli and make sure to spend the most time in Masai Mara.

Amzing wildlife
Safaris are overbooked. We had 10 people in the van ( including driver). For people sitting in the back or front sit (next to the driver) it was difficult to enjoy the experience. It was too crowded, sometimes I couldn't even turn or stand up for the view. Missed quite a lot because of that. Bare in mind people in the van won't just let you see.They want to enjoy as well and they won't just sit and say 'your turn now'. Vans should be bigger or less crowded.
People here will give you a price after looking at you and judging how much money you have. Prices are visible only in supermarkets.
Be careful what you buy. Souvenirs often contain bone, skin or plant fragments that are illegal to bring back home.
If you decide to stay in Nairoibi, avoid city centre. It's overcrowded, easy to get mugged. I alsao have beed sexually harrased and called names for no reason. Racist.

everywhere. It was heartbreaking to see so much plastic and other stuff along the road. Very bad for environment.Avoid raw fruits and vegetables, eat only what's been cooked. You never know what kind of water they used to wash.
Food was often cold. We stopped for lunches on our way from one park to another and never had a hot meal. Easy to get food poisoning.
Be prepared to spend a lot of money for tipping people. Every little thing they do for you they will expect you to tip them, some will even tell you how much.
On the good side wildlife is amazing.
You see the same animal many times and still don't have enough.
Most of the parks are really big. You just keep driving.
I liked the fact that they are kept as natural as possible (no modern roads, few stops with actual toilets etc.) Gives you real wild experience.
