Most exciting and amazing vacation ever!

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 4 / 5 5 / 5
Went on a safari vacation in July. Saw 4 of the big 5 on the very first day! We eventually saw all of the Big 5 and what we learned are the "Ugly 5". Every day brought a new experience with new animals/birds added. Highlights were the 3 species of Giraffes, Masai and forest elephants ( all in herds with their families), a pride of 13 lions, ballon ride over the Masai Mara, amazing hippos and rhinos ( all with babies), spotting Leopard on the rock, just to name a few of the everyday experiences. The weather was perfect, cool in the morning and then warmer ( not hot) in the afternoons. Bugs were never an issue. Very good accommodations - lodges and tented lodges ( like glamping). Had few issues with hot water or plumbing but nothing horrible. Most of the food was buffet style with lots of variety and good tasting. The service was excellent. We had a private tour with an excellent guide who spoke several languages. He was able to spot the animals and was very knowledgeable
Read more about the wildlife and Kenya in general. We had a pop up van that I would not recommend. The roads are VERY rough. I think the 4x4 pop up would have been more comfortable for the number of days on Safari(12). After safari we spent 3 days at the beach in Mombasa. Unfortunately, it rained the entire time :(, but it was still a relaxing finish. GREAT trip!

Amazing

Absolutely amazing, better than expected. Saw the big 5 more than once. Ample animal species to view. And many close up encounters with lions and cheaters. Elephants galore and even the scarce leapords.
Nakuru, Masai Mara, Hell’s Gate and Amboseli made for a Safari that did not disappoint. Thanks Kenya for sharing.

Fantastic wildlife! We got to see all of the "big five" except the rhino. Very skilled and professional guide. The accommodation was very cozy: a tent close to the national park. Out in the wilderness, yet with electricity (via generator) and proper bathroom and shower. Surprisingly good food. An experience for a lifetime!

We were very pleased with our experience on safari tour. We saw almost everything we could have wished to see during our 2 day safari and it was amazing. The drivers took us as close to the animals as possible, we had unlimited water and food was very good as well. Sleeping in tents was as promised. Only thing we did not like was the fact that the second day we were put to another car with different driver and although we were promised a 2h safari they cut it to only 1 hour saying that otherwise we will not make it to the plane (though we discussed already everything via e-mail).

Fabulous Safari

5 / 5 5 /5

Kenya was a wonderful place to have a safari. We went to three separate parks, each of which offered unique environments and animal life, from arid/desert (Samburu) to rift valley lake side (Nakuru) to savannah (the Massai Mara). The Migration in the Massai Mara in August is unbelievable - literally millions of Wildebeests - and not to be missed!.

We had been in safari before in South Africa, and I have to say that the animal in Kenya is much bigger in size and more vibrant in color. We went in July and the weather was beautiful. Nothing beat the hospitality of the Kenyan. It is a place that I would highly recommend everyone to visit, not once but maybe 2 or 3 times at least.

Great but way too many hours in the safari vehicle driving between the different parks.

4 / 5 4 /5

Great wildlife and our accomodation, Losokwan, was above our expectations. Simple but we had everything we needed and the staff were very helpful and friendly. We very really in the middle of everything! Elephants and buffalos right outside our tent during the nights. 5 hours drive to Lake Nakuru from Masai Mara was ok and the lodge; Flamingo Hill was very nice and with a pool. Great staff. Wildlife ok but we preferred the open landscape in Masai Mara. 9,5 hrs drive from there to Amboseli; not ok. Exhausting drive through Nairobi and the camp; Zebra Plains Amboseli camp was not at all as expected. Dirty, dusty, hardly no furnitures and showed no resemblance with the pictures on their webpage. However, very nice staff. Wildebeest safari had a very nice driver but he was not really interested in what we wanted to experience. It felt like he rushed through the parks. All in all; a 5 out of 10 for the whole safari-experience. Sadly...

Safari experience is good but met an unfortunate scam from a local tour company

3 / 5 3 /5
4 / 5 4 / 5 4 / 5 4 / 5

Safari experiences on wildlife, scenery and weather are good. Food are generally ok for all meals except for lunch, there is no option for lunch as it is pre-packed by the accommodation and it is always the same food despite from different accommodation. There are many different range of accommodation which I mostly enjoy except for 1 or 2 places that are too small but decent with hot shower.
The only disappointment I have is being scam by the local safari company which I paid 50% deposit (in March 2019) prior my trip (in August 2019) but the company was uncontactable, their website is down and various travel websites alerted about this company scam. I choose this safari company (Kenya Walking Safari Survivors Ltd) based on the good reviews given in your safaribooking website listing. I was pretty affected by this whole incident to be left stranded at the airport for > 6 hours and trying to make a police report and find alternative safari tour so last minute.

Awesome wildlife in abundance

The volume of wildlife in Kenya is phenomenal. The wildebeest during the migration is amazing. There is a lot of driving if you go to multiple parks but once you get to the parks it is brilliant. If you can afford a little more try to stay in resorts inside the national parks.
