Really good, but too short
Accommodations, food, transportation was fine, compaired to the price. Your guide was really good, very friendly, and a good driver. I just wished I have had longer time out in Masai Mara, comparied to the time we spend driving there. We arrived at 3:30pm on the first day and left at 1pm the 3. day.
I did not see the rhino or leopard, and only one buffalo. But I saw the migration of the zebras and wild beasts, and came close to e.g. lions, giraffes, elephants, different gazelle species, hippos, cheetah, some birds and we visited the Masai village on the last day, for 1000KES.
The Scenic beauty was good, but the most was yellow. Weather was good, not to hot or cold, luckly, the chance for rain was 50/50, but it only rained for 2h when we where there.
In total: It was worth it, but I wish, that I have had more time out in Masai Mara.

It was very awe-inspiring seeing the wildlife and amazing scenery
Our guide, Mike of Right Choice Safari's, was absolutely amazing. He went above and beyond to show us everything and he is a great driver. On top of that, at the end of the trip he made sure we were set up correctly with the follow up accomodations. The safari to the Massai Mara itself was amazing. We were lucky to see the big 5 before 10 am and we had the whole day spotting great animals. There were very few dull moments.

Once in a lifetime experience viewing African wildlife visiting Masai people
Safari is a wonderful experience especially with driver Benson from KWWS.
All the Kenyan & Masai people we met were friendly and Hospitable especially the Masai crew from Simba Lodge
Just outside Amboseli Game Park.
We saw the big 5 & had great wildlife experiences Not to be missed,,
Awesome wildlife against amazing backdrops
Our journey started from Nairobi and we were grateful enough to spend some time in the wilderness at various locations in Kenya. The great rift valley, Mt. Kenya, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Hells' Gate, the famed Masai Mara, Amboseli, all provided mind blowing backdrops for the various wildlife. Transportation and guide was arranged by Lian Travels and the support provided during planning stage and throughout the trip is commendable. Few of the hotels worth mentioning in terms of their ambience, hospitality, are Sopa Lodge at Nakuru, Fig Tree at Masai Mara, Kibo at Amboseli. The weather was pleasant during our stay.

Kenya is amazing!
My son and I had a wonderful experience. The parks were spectacular. The drivers were personable, friendly, and knowledgeable. If you go economy, know you will be in an older van, with older shocks, and older seats. And that if you go to more than one park, you will be traveling a fair amount in the van. My son and I were fine but you should be aware of the hours of travel on fairly rough roads. But other than that, it really was a once in a lifetime experience. The only of the big five that we did not see was a leopard. I guess we will have to go back.

This was a trip of a lifetime-amazing!
Kenya Walking Survivors Safaris was everything they advertised. If I could give 10 stars, I would and the price was very reasonable. Our guide, Al, was so knowledgeable and actually called animals so that they stood up for us to see (black rhino). We saw all the big five as well as many, many other animals including hundreds of birds. September was a perfect month because it was nice and cool but not rainy and certainly not crowded. We traveled in a Toyota van that handled the rocky roads easily. We visited Samburu, Nakuru, Masaii Mara, Elsamere at Navaisha, Ambroselli and Tsavo. Each park was different and had its highlights. Seeing a cheetah go for a wildebeest kill and a leopard trotting down the road in front of us were highlights but just watching the hippos in the river at the Masaii Mara and the elephants at Ambroselli and Samburu was fun. At Elsamere, the animals came to us with dik-diks, warthogs, giraffes, zebras and hippos coming into the yard of the compound to graze. Our accommodations in all the parks were very comfortable and even luxurious at some places (how many hotels welcome their guests with 2 dozen beautiful roses for the room). Our guide was patient and kind making sure that we saw whatever we wanted and he worked really hard to find the animals. The people of Kenya were so welcoming to us. Everyone should experience this.

Safari was as expected. Booking and lodging was not managed well at all.
Kenya was worth the trip. We saw different environments, Lush farm areas, African Bush (including dust), and green mountainous landscapes. Food was good and most important..People were very hospitable.
