Beautiful nature and friendly people, with some bumpy roads!

Kenya is a beautiful country to visit- but there is no public transport.
We arranged our safari through “Explore Kenya safari” and had a driving safari. Was picked up at the Nairobi hotel, drove through the amazing Rift Valley to Nakuru park. Birds and animal watching around the lake, staying at a wonderful Nakuru lodge.Then drove on to Masai Mara over the beautiful Mau mountains.
Fantastic place and again a wonderful lodge. Hippos and crocodiles along the river right outside the Mara Simba lodge.
We saw all big five and lots of other animals and birds during our safari.
Nice to end up at the coast. Excellent food all places.

Nice country for a safari

Kenya is a nice place to visit for a safari. We were lucky to see all of the big 5. The scenery is really breathtaking. However, some places were already quite crowded.
I can also recommend to book with super eagles travel & tours Ltd. They did a great job.

Amazing!

We had so much fun! The wildlife was amazing, we could see the big 5 so close to us. The beaches are beautiful, never seen whiter sand before. The night life was rich, safe and great. The people very kind, open and willing to get to know you. The food was exquisite, everything we ate was delicious. We had an amazing experience.

Amazing wildlife

We were a group of 5 colleagues who had some spare time at the end of our trip and decided we wanted to do a safari in the Masai Mara. I found Hyrax safaris and they were extremely responsive over what’s app which was really handy due to the time difference. Hyrax were good at sorting out our different room configurations and found us great quality accomodation at Sarova Mara. I would recommend the hotel, we had a room looking out over the reserve. We opted to be driven to the Mara (about 6 hours), I’m glad we did because we saw so much on the journey and there were plenty of stops to stretch your legs. Our guide Aaron was excellent, really knowledgeable and was also flexible about what times we did our drives. I enjoyed doing a full days drive as we saw so much but some of my colleagues found a whole day game drive a bit too much. I’m sure you’d be able to split it into two of you wanted. I would recommend using Hyrax safaris for your safari booking.

Wide ranging wild life in large numbers throughout the country marred by inadequate infrastructure.

My Blue Mountain Safari 5 day tour was very much as advertised, both positively and negatively and overall quite enjoyable.

Positively, I can say that during the 5 days we say virtually all the animals it had indicated we likely would, often in large numbers and at times close up. In the parks the animals showed almost no fear of man as we stayed within the vehicles as directed by guide/driver and they have been conditioned not to be concerned about them since they have not been hunted. In our limited interaction with the Keyan service workers before, during and after the safari they were always polite and generally quite helpful once the issue was clearly understood.

Negatively, I had chosen a budget level of accommodations and at times it showed more than expected. Also, the Masai Mara tribal visit and vendors were overtly always seeking to profit of one's interest in their tribal / cultural traditions so limiting the quality of the interaction and to a degree diminishing their dignity and limiting what could be learned from them directly.
