incredible atmosphere, environment and people
Amazing 7 day safari taking in Massai Mara, Nakura, Naivasha and Amboseli organised by Blue Mountain safaris. We saw everything we hoped for and the variety of landscapes and environment were far better than expected. Best of all was the friendliness of the people, just lovely.
The safari went very smooth and have to say special thanks to Ann at Blue Mountain who made lots of last minute changes for us without fuss, they are highly recommended.

A wildlife wonderland that will not disappoint.
A truly wonderful once in a lifetime experience. If you can visit during the migration season it will leave you breathless as waves of wildebeest and zebras make their journey to Tanzania. Our tour operator Pollman deserve the credit for their amazing staff and organisation. The standard of accomodation at the Sarova Hotels in the National Park were first class. The Kenyan people are some of the most delightful and friendly people you will ever meet. The changing landscapes travelling from Hells Gate National park to Shaba National park and onto Lions Hill and Masai Mara are breathtaking. If you pick the right season and tour operator you will not be disappointed.

Amazing Wild experience
Josephine who owns Lilac Roller Safaris made an absolutely fantastic 10 day trip for me. I managed both safari, Nairobi and to climb Africa's 2 highest mountain Mount Kenya. Every aspect of the trip was under control, and Josephine was always in touch if there were any problems. But luckily it didn't. I managed to see all the wild animals you can dream of and to stand on top of Mount Kenya.

Great safari destination for hospitality,abundant wildlife and scenic landscapes.
Our tour operator, Wayfairer Travel,put together a great twin centre safari in Kenya provided by Safari Bookings. Firstly flying in to Samburu and then on to the Masai Mara.The wildlife encounters and sightings in both were to say the least spectacular. The contrasting landscapes were exceptional as was the hospitality and service in the lodges.Kenya has been a favourite of ours and this trip surpassed previous visits.The terrain on the game drives can at times be a little challenging as expected,but that is all part the safari experience.Thank you Kenya and thank you Wayfairer.

Wonderful wildlife and very warm people
We visited Kenya on our honeymoon and took part on a 5 day safari (2 nights in the Masai Mara, 1 night in Lake Nakuru and 1 night in Amboseli). Our guide, Felix, was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and made our trip unforgettable.
The variety of wildlife we saw far exceeded our expectations, we couldn’t believe our luck at seeing lions, elephants, zebra etc within a metre of our car.
The people of Kenya are so welcoming and full of joy.

A pleasant surprise
It had always been a dream of ours to go on a safari and I do not regret one minute for choosing Kenya as our destination. People are extremely friendly, and they have always made us feel very welcome. We travelled both to the centre as well as south and each park had different characteristics for us to enjoy.

Amazing experience and all animals seen!
Really great experience! We booked 6 days safari and it was worth it! The best park is definitely Masai Mara, we spent 2 days there and have seen almost all big five! Also really good was Ambosseli park with a lot of elephants. The other game drive to Nakuru is also recommend: we saw rhinos and hundred flamingos. All together it was an excellent trip!

Great experience we do not want to miss
We travelled as a family of 5 persons (children are all grown up 15+). Hotel was located in Diani Beach, the Neptun Palm Beach Hotel.
Here it was easy to make a good decision using eg. holiday check to find the perfect hotel.
More risk was the booking of the safari (game drive) to Tsavo East. Fortunately I found safaribookings.com. With the help of this site I was able to find a local safari company providing a perfect service. If you plan a safari take care to book a lodge with a water hole a near as possible. In our case we booked the VOI lodge and we really loved it. The waterhole is only meters away from pool/restaurant and you can enjoy wildlife while relaxing at the pool or having a drink at the bar.
If you plan to visit other national parks from Diani Beach area, also take into account that there is a train available to Nairobi. It is a fast, cheap and exciting option instead of a many hours drive or expensive flight.
