Great Safari in Kenya with Back of Africa Adventure
I would recommend Back of Africa Adventure without any hesitation. Good and fast communication from the first email. For the Safari we used a minivan only for us (2 persons) and the acomodations were ok. The guide Simon was great and help us in any possible way.

Immersive wildlife experience!
I really loved my trip to the Maasai Mara Reserve! We had a private van drive us around the reserve and we saw sooo many animals. It was an incredible experience - one I will never forget. Camping just off the reserve was also great - they provided dinner and served beer ! Then we got up early in the morning for a second drive and watching the sunrise was awesome. Our guide was also so friendly and made our trip so fun. He let us stop on the way to the reserve for snacks :)
Highly recommend a trip to the Mara!
Kenya was amazing.
Love the sceneries and wildlife. Would love to have a more proactive guide though.

Just amazing!!
Everything about this trip was wonderful! My daughter is a vegan and the variety of food choices was good and plenty. The lodges were very comfortable and clean. We really enjoyed the entire trip. Our guide James was very helpful! Highly recommended! Samuel was very helpful as well organizing the trip!

Great
I did the safari with Axis Africa Safaris. Lennox was the contact person via email. He always answered very fast and everything was as agreed. Kikutu was the guide and he was superb. The trip from Nairobi to masai Mara is long but went very well.
I would really recommend this operator and specially this guide (kikitu)

Better than we could have ever imagined.
Ben from eTrip Africa did a great job of customizing our trip for our family of four. Everything about our trip was absolutely fantastic. The wildlife and scenery were incredible. We stayed in accomodations which varied from glamping to renting a whole cottage and every place was clean, tidy and safe. We thought, given the remote conditions, that food quality would suffer and we would be eating alot of granola bars but that couldnt have been further from the truth. Food was excellent... even the box lunches!
Our guide, John, was incredibly knowledgable and kept us close to the action but did not disturb the animals’ behaviors. The vehicle was a well-maintained truck with a popup top which we were very happy to have after seeing some of the other vehicles in the parks (old beat-up vans; trucks with completely open sides which would provide NO PROTECTION from animals that might get frisky and held shivering occupants in the mornings and evenings; vehicles with no pop up, etc).
Hard to pick one highlight: was it standing in our truck in the silence while 10 giraffes quietly munched on tree leaves just feet from us? Or maybe watching a leopard make its way out of the grasses to climb a tree where it had stored its kill, while the sun set on the savannah? The hyenas fighting for a piece of a downed zebra? Two bloodied rhinos fighting over an observing female? A male lion protecting his kill from a pack of hungry hyenas? What will YOUR adventure yield?
This was our first trip to Africa and we were a little nervous about our safety, however, we felt safe on our entire trip. Ben met us the first day, which was reassuring. Everywhere we went, the people were friendly and eager to show us what their beautiful country had to offer.
I highly recommend Ben and eTrip Africa. They made our Trip of a Lifetime one to truly remember.

The best Safaris and lodges to suit all budgets
Just completed an unforgettable 2 week trip to Kenya.
Started off with the Masai Mara, stayed at a camp. Spent some time on the amazing coast at Diani beach. Visited Tsavo, stayed at some amazing lodges.
The game drives at the Mara were spectacular. Tsavo was good too, with an abundance of elephant herds.
Diani beach was stunning, fine white sand, spotless beach, clear waters.

Good safari in Masai Mara
This was not our first time in Kenya. We booked a 3-day trip to Masai Mara (leaving on a Sunday and coming back on a Tuesday evening). In the park: lots of driving, lots of cars in the same place giving it a slight "mass tourism" feel and lacking "bush feel".
Although there during the peak time for wildebeest migrations, we saw very few. We were told that this is because of the Tanzanian burning off land to avoid wildebeest crossing the border. They are afraid of "loosing the business". Shame really as this man-made factor is not really mentioned on tourist safari websites.
Otherwise, everything was splendid in terms of organisation, driver, accommodation (camp right outside gates of Masai Mara), vegetarian food options... Amazing sceneries. Good value for money and very smooth.
