Kenya is home to warm, English-speaking locals who warmly welcome tourists, and the country offers a wide variety of safari tour packages for wildlife lovers. Upon arrival, we checked into the Chester Hotel, conveniently located in the heart of the Westlands area in Nairobi's CBD. Our serviced apartment was well equipped, allowing us to enjoy both local cuisine and a bit of home-style cooking.
To get oriented, we joined a free walking tour of Nairobi, which introduced us to the city's history, important landmarks, and vibrant culture. It was a great way to begin our adventure.
After three days in Nairobi, we embarked on a 4-day safari organised by Sunnycreek Safaris. The itinerary included visits to the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru National Parks. We were fortunate to see all of the Big Five, and a particularly unforgettable moment was watching a lion pride feed on a cape buffalo carcass up close. Our safari was conducted in a 4x4 Land Cruiser, and

we stayed in comfortable safari lodges. The food throughout the trip was excellent.
The 4-day safari cost $850 per person, which included all park entrance fees. For an additional $20 per person, we visited a traditional Maasai village—a true highlight of the trip. We enjoyed a Maasai dance performance, which our entire group joined in on. The villagers welcomed us into their homes, showing us where they cook, sleep, and explaining how they care for and protect their livestock from predators.
By the end of the trip, we knew we’d be back—next time, for an even longer safari holiday.

Incredible sceneries and wildlife in the Mara national reserve. However some of the practices around driving and the numbers of vehicles were disappointing. One of many examples was a cheetah that was searching to hunt was surrounded by over 10 vehicles that kept moving and being in his way as he was walking along. That was not enjoyable, let's admire nature with respect.

Amazing experience! I worried about visiting Kenya as a female solo traveller but everything was perfect. I chose Inspired feet Safari and I never regret that. Definitely Kenya deserves more time for exploring than just one week.

Our trip to Kenya was a fabulous experience that has left us wanting for more!
The culture is unique with the Masai tribes lining the way to Masai Mara with their colourful cloaks, a wealth of herds of cattle and the beauty of the people.
We enjoyed very moment from the tent accommodation next to Masai Mara and the wonderful hotel at Nakuru Lake, to the local food and the scenery at each location - it was a humbling and fulfilling trip.
Above all, being able to see the wild and majestic animals of the Savanah and jungles was unforgettable and so breathtaking that we didn’t know which way to turn with so much to see, hear and admire. We were fortunate to have an incredible guide and driver, Aron, who made the difficult terrain look like a walk in the park, his constant smile was reassuring, and his knowledge of the parks was incomparable - he could camouflaged animals from a mile - amazing!
Thank you to Safari bookings for this well tailored experience,

I went to Kenya in April to travel with my adult daughter. The weather was beautiful...not too hot and everything was green. We spent a few days touring sites in Nairobi and then had a safari to Maasai Mara and Lake Navaisha. The wildlife was breathtaking and I was surprised by the plentiful birds that we saw...I hadn't expected that. The week was magical and I highly recommend visiting Kenya!

Bison Safaris arranged the most wonderful 7 day Package to include Maasai Marra, Nakuru and Ambosile National Reserves. The scenery in these parks where different but all equally breathtaking. To see these wonderful animals in their own habitat was a wonderful experience, from the big 5 to the comical Meer Cats! I fount that everyone we met were so welcomeing and genuinely wanted to ensure we had the best possible experience. From the hospitality/accomadation staff to drivers and Kenyans in general, we did not have one negative experience. I would highly reccomend Kenya as an adventure holiday destination.

My husband and I travelled to Kenya with tour agency Spirit of Kenya as part of our honeymoon.
Our trip was absolutely unforgettable. From the stunning landscapes to the incredible wildlife and the warmth of the people, everything exceeded our expectations. We were lucky to have perfect weather throughout, which made every adventure even more enjoyable.
The safaris in Masai Mara and Amboseli were nothing short of magical. Watching elephants, lions, giraffes, and so many other animals in their natural environment was a dream come true. Every moment felt like a scene from a documentary — only better, because we were living it.
A huge part of what made this trip so special was Bonny, our guide. Traveling with him was a true privilege — he was knowledgeable, kind, funny, and incredibly passionate about his country. He made us feel safe, inspired, and completely immersed in the experience. We learned so much thanks to him.

were also lovely — comfortable, charming, and always surrounded by breathtaking views. Falling asleep to the sounds of nature is something we’ll never forget.
We had a spectacular time and came back home with full hearts and unforgettable memories. Kenya is truly a destination that stays with you forever.
