We visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Ambaselli in August 2018. Though we missed the chance to see the great migration process, still it was a great experience to see the wild life so closely. Lions, Giraffe, Zebra,Elephant, Rhino - we spent wonderful 5 days among those. Undoubtedly Masai Mara was the best among the lot. Weather was just perfect. No rain. From morning 10 to 5 PM the temperature was high & sun screen & hat were mandatory. Rest of the time the weather was very pleasant. Our tour guide Anthony was a nice person & he tried his best to help us see more & more wild. Would definitely be there once again

It was a trip that I will long remember. Not just for the stunning African landscape, but for the way that the trip allowed me to also experience Masai culture, the people of Kenya, and to be embraced by their friendliness. East Africa Tours provided a complete yet budget-friendly way to live and camp in the bush. Our guide, Tom, was very professional; his hard work and dedication were evident in the number and variety of animals that we saw on safari. Goshen tent camp was a very new establishment at the time of my stay, and was very accommodating. Although I could have paid more at a different camp, and had more amenities, Goshen camp provided a very friendly and personal experience. The camp manager was attentive to all of the guest’s special needs and requests, and gave special care for our safety and security. I would highly recommend the experience to anyone else wishing to experience the bush, the animals and the people of Kenya.

My wife and I did a 12 day safari starting the last few days of August and the first week of September and it was outstanding. We visited the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli and Tsavo East. The Mara was definitely the highlight of the trip. The wildlife there was amazing, especially the Mara triangle, although Narok county was good as well. We definitely enjoyed our experience in Kenya

I have been back 2 weeks and I'm already thinking about how I can save to go back to Kenya! When deciding to go on my first-ever safari, I chose the Maasai Mara because it is supposed to be the best for big cat viewing. It was a lucky decision, because Kenya has SO much more to offer. The scenery, and the chance to sit and watch elephants walk by very closely with just the sound of their tromping and chomping and no other vehicles in sight, was just one among many unforgettable moments.
We stayed in a budget tent camp which suited us well, because we were able to put the savings to a private safari (rather than a group tour) and the accommodations were better than expected! We had flush toilets, a comfortable bed, and zebras eating right outside our tent every night. The camp also was very accommodating to my dietary needs (I'm a vegetarian). The Maasai Mara is an amazing magical place, our tented camp overlooked part of it so we could see giraffes and wildebeests

as as we pulled in.
Last but certainly not least, our safari guide MADE our experience. Although at other times interacting with various businesses catering to tourists I felt very much an outsider/a potential customer, our guide spent 4 days with us and treated us like friends. He was also extremely knowledgeable about Kenya's history, animal behavior, and conservation needs.
This was my first safari (but certainly not my last). My travel partner had been to South Africa and enjoyed it, but she said our Kenya trip was 8X better! The all-day private game drives, the amazing interactions with so much wildlife, and the knowledge and warmth of our guide made the difference for her.

We booked Beacon Safari through Safari Bookings for a 3 day safari to the Maasai Mara in Kenya. Beacon was very responsive and delivered on all promises. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable about the animals we saw. The Maasai Mara is very beautiful and we saw all of the Big 5 within 24 hours of arriving in the park. We also saw a wealth of other animals and birds. All in all, we really enjoyed Kenya.

Safari organized by Peter was great. Everything was according to the itinerary. Price was correct and everything was included in the price.
Masai Mara in August with all the animals is just fantastic, it is difficult to describe it only with words. We have visited also Lake Nakuru NP, where we saw rhinos and many other animals, also an unforgettable experience, lake Naivasha is also nice for a boat ride ( but boat ride is quite expensive), and riding a bike in Hell's gate NP was a great experience.
Accommodation during the safari was simple but clean and nice, the food was also simple but healthy and tasty.
The weather was nice, but during the night quite cold, so come prepared :)
All in all, I recommend Kenya and safari with Peter and East Africa Tours and Safaris

It’s winter in July so it’s a little cool in the early mornings. However, the wildlife is amazing. It’s very scenic and we have a great tour guide with Deep Forest Safaris. Samuel and his team provided a one of kind experience. We always felt comfortable, safe and in good company. Truly recommend Kenya for safari and DFS!! Thank you

It was great to see the wildlife in their natural habitats. The weather was great and held well during the safari. Our tour guide Joe Mouti was outstanding. He knows the terrain, knowledgeable about the different animals, and know when to pull close to see the magnificent animals. Food was great and accommodating was great.
