Safari was Amazing
Overall rating
5/5

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.

Kenya and its wildlife and awesome peoplo made part of my dreams since I was very young. In Safari Bookings I discovered Africa Flash McTours and Travel. Peter, the owner, was very helpful and patience, making adjustments according on my group needs. Our drivers/guides (Edward and John) are super expert in wildlife sighting, beyond being super friendly and helpful. I will take Kenya, its awesome people, the landscape and the amazing wildlife in my mind and heart forever! I strongly recommend Safari Bookings and Africa Flash McTours and Travel!

Our 3-day Safari was amazing, we saw all animals with the only exception of rhyno, which is unfortunately quite rare by now. Our guide John was great and Chris as well was so good at arranging such a lovely accomodation despite the short notice. We would strongly recommend Sun-Up Adventures, we had an amazing experience!

The wildlife and scenery are out of the world, they are more beutiful than depicted on TV or books or documentories you must see it to experience it. Weather is great in the cooler dry months, havn't experienced it in other months. Transportation can be tricky as you could get short changed with a bad vehicle ! Insist on what you paid for. Guides can be both ends excellent or casual we were lucky we got all 3 great guides Off course after bluntly refusing one after his casual attitude.
Accommodation and locations of the SERENA Lodges are superb except their showers which are cramped tight and quite an exercise to bathe !. WARNING : Once in Kenya you are hooked, you want to come again and again and again ! Which we plan to do ;) My salutes and highest recommendation of the SAFARI BOOKINGS who have done a faboulous job of honest, and easy to navigate site compiling almost all Safari operators / Tour agencies ! You are sure of a great honest deal if booking through them. Our special thanks to Mr. Martin and his wonderful team of DALLAGO TOURS who delivered a great service for us all through , you can't go wrong with them !!.

I travelled with Lenchada which offered a varied tour at a very reasonable cost, including all transportation, accommodation and food. We had a full day, plus an evening and a morning, in Masai Mara, and long mornings at Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate Reserves. I also had a delightful boat ride on Lake Naivasha.

Rhino Camp just outside Masai Mara was a delight, and young Pixie set up a campfire early to relax before dinner. The other two lodges were also comfortable, and the food good though the general menu was very much the same everywhere.

The only drawback was a terrible vehicle for the first two days, and an inexperienced driver which made it worse, though we still saw lots of lions and elephant and giraffe. And Joshua who took over with another van for Lake Nakuru was excellent. And the flamingoes there were fantastic, as were the plentiful white rhinos.

We visitited Masaii Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha on our safari. Masaii Mara is amazing! Beautiful scenery, lots of animals and nice weather. You can easily skip Laka Naivasha. Not so much to see or experience. The lodging was not nice and staff not so friendly. Lake Nakuru, hardly any flamingos, that is the main attraction at the lake. Did see lions and giraffs though.

The safari was great.
We went 5 days (4 nights), 2 massai mara, 1 night lake nakuru, 1 night lagop naivasha. they respected the accommodations, less in massai mara, which was not the one hired, it was fine, but it did not have the views that the other camp had in description.
They changed the order of visit to the lakes, and we ended up doing more kilometers and time in the van. the visits to the lakes were in a hurry and very fast, but they were very nice places. Massai Mara is the king of the parks, but he deserves to see these two as well, or the Amboseli who spoke well of him.
be careful with the entrances to the park, we are supposed to pay 2 days of park, but we only use 24h, and better to talk about it with the driver. Beware, they are 70-80 dollars apart.
the time to make the safari great. We saw the big five, few elephants, only 2 male lions, but very well and up close, a show, the rhinoceros great but not too close. The driver wanted to show us the animals. It was a shame not to see the migration, the animals were ready to cross but we did not see them, we were looking but nothing, although the same day others saw it, our driver did not come back in the afternoon to see it (he was in a hurry to leave the park and pay only 24 hours) ...
otherwise everything is great, food is good, accommodation is good, price is great. 90 -100 dollars a day.
we would hire again

Overall rating
1/5

- The wildlife was absolutely various and we saw a lot of things.
- The food was most of the time great
- The accommodation was always perfect
- And our first guide was nice

BUT then we get a new guide. Ok we didnt get him, because Dan never arrrived and we didnt get any information about this, even when the hotel called him a lot of times. So we couldnt do the boattrip. The next day, we get a new guide. He was so terrible and drove his car badly. We asked him four times to drive a lit slower and to watch the streets (not his phone). When we finished lunch, we had to wait for him, because he wanted to talk and wait for other drivers. The restaurant was empty then, all the groups left the restaurant before us, even that we were the first group who was arriving in the locals and had to wait after lunch a half our extra for him.
He had just a normal car, so that we get in stuck in the safari. After that he was so nervous, that when I started to get in, he started to drive. (With my open door) -> so I get hurt and was falling on the ground. He was not nice after this and didnt ask me how I feel.

After we had also an disappointment with the company and Dan. Our first guide promised us, that Dan will help us with our camera, which we lost at the airport. Yes but noone came. We told the company about this promise and they told us, they called Dan in this moment and he will come now. But Dan didnt know about anything and was not willing to come. We told the company but they dont care.

So when they hadnt change our guide, I would give 5 Stars, but after our first guide everything was bad..... And honestly, with every other company you will see the wildlife. Choose someone else!!!!!!!!
