Compact and enjoyable trip!
I have been to Kenya for 6 days in Dec 2017, and safari for 3 days. I could see most of the animals and some scene of predation as well. There are lots of tourism and they are going for similar trip, but you can enjoy the wildlife very easily.

Amazing safari experience with African comfort zone safaris - 4 days tour to Masai Mara/ Lake Nakuru
1) The communication with tour guide Joshua via email and whatsapp was excellent
2) The driver / guide Isaac was very friendly. He was very punctual, helpful and very knowledgeable.
3) We spotted a lot of animals in Masai Mara - all the big 5 in Masai Mara. Our safari was very succesful.
4) The stay at Lenchada campsite was very good. The camp was very close to the gate. The chef and staff were very friendly. We told them that we were vegetarian and they made sure to cook several vegetarian food so that we had several options to choose from.
5) We had several game drives - Early morning, full day or evening game drive. They were all very well planned and we could see all the big 5 animals.
6) The travel to Lake Nakuru and Stay at Matfam resort was good. We could spot a lot of flamingos and white Rhine during the early morning game drive at Lake Nakuru.
7) Kenyan people were very humble, friendly and open to all the foreigners. Everyone spoke perfect English and language was absolutely NOT a barrier.
8) Best part of safari was Radio communication / networking within the drives in the park. If a Rhine or Leopard is spotted anywhere in the park, all the tourist vans rush to get a glimpse of the animal.
9) Overall a very good safari. I would highly recommend this trip for everyone.

Kenya is a beautiful country with spectacular landscapes and interesting cities. The only downside, I'd say is the security situation, which is not great.
A beautiful place with natural beauty. The place where at every 50 meters you come across some or the other wildlife. A place where photographers can see the animals in the open, no hide and seek business.

The safari was everything we had hoped for, and a top highlight of our trip
The experience in Kenya was incredible. We saw all sorts of animals, had incredible animal encounters on the safaris, and saw such amazing natural beauty.

Such a beautiful country
The landscape is breathtaking and also are the animals. We saw lions, cheetahs, a leopard, elephants, giraffes, zebras, gnus, wildebeests and many more. Especially Amboseli park was great! But also Diani and Galu Beach are wonderful places on earth. The people in Kenya are all very nice. Only in Nairobe there were some fake beggars and of course you do not go to the slums. But we always felt safe.

we do enjoy every minutes during our time in Kenya, and we will be there again very soon!!

Wild life land, brotherhood.
Wildlife and scenary leave speachless, amazing! The weather is perfect when i was there last october 2016, accomodations are okay according to the price i paid, i think food was not as amazing as i imagined, perhaps it was just tourists food and not local and authentic kenyan food. The transport of the safari i booked, they picked me up at my residence more than 1 hour later, and in the way out of Nairobi the vehicole that transported us stoped working 3 times, and 3 times the driver called for a nother vehicole and we had to changed the 3 times to another van, all this lost time made us arrived to the camp very late and we entered the Maasai Mara Park just for one hour and could not enjoy it because we were driving too fast. We haven't given any reasonable solution from the driver to compensate the lost time, so we prscticaly paid 3 days of entry to the Park and used only one, because the last day driver told us we need to leave early. In the way back, entering to Nairobi, the car stoped working again and we were about another 45 minutes waiting in the middle of the road to get the car fixed. It was evident that the vehicles that we used were not in good conditions for a safari tour.

A first rate safari destination - excellent wildlife and great diversity in natural scenery
We (myself, wife and a 6 yr. old daughter) travelled to Kenya in August of this year. We booked our safari through Lucy from Serene East Africa for 3 different locations (Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara). Apart from our flights to/out of Kenya, all other logistics was managed by Lucy who we found to be extremely responsive and client focused. Rinus, our guide and driver was knowledgeable, punctual and most importantly, patient with us (considering that it was our first safari experience). The lodges were quite comfortable, food was great and service was first rate throughout. Other than the long drives between the 3 locations (note to self - next time, spend more time in safari and less time on road), the overall experience was positive. Will definitely recommend Serene East Africa and Lucy to my friends/family travelling to Kenya for safari experience.
This short review cannot do justice to the wildlife and natural beauty of Kenya. Its something that needs to be experienced. We had a great time in Amboseli and Masai Mara watching lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, hippos etc. not to mention. countless wildebeest and zebra all over the plains. No rhinos for us though - hopefully, next time!! Watching hippos, zebras and waterbucks graze in the lodge grounds in Lake Naivasha, right outside your window was a fantastic experience.
The Masai village tour suggested by Rinus in the end was, however, a bit disappointing. Most of it seemed stage-managed and the villagers were more keen on extracting a few more dollars than showcasing their culture.
