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

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.

My safari experience in Kenya was above and beyond my expectations! The company we booked it with, Spirit of Kenya based in Nairobi, delivered exactly what they promised and more. Our guide and driver George was friendly, informative and generous and extremely helpful. He helped make this the best holiday experience we have ever had. I never realised there were so many animals in Africa. We saw everything possible except a leopard. Best experience when a herd of elephants came to our hotel within touching distance! Staff and local people and also people from the tribes were so friendly. Would fully recommend or indeed insist that everyone goes on Safari in Kenya!
Wanderful stay. We visited Samburu, Baringo Lake, Bogoria lake and Nakuru lake during the first week : very interesting nature reserves, easy to visit with your own car.
Then we had a 3 days safari in Maasai Mara reserve, where we could see all kinds of wild animal, and even cheetas !
Only one disppontment : Lamu, which is in a very bad condition and dirty, despite it was designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
Have a great trip to Kenya !

My son and I spent three nights at Basecamp Mara. Our well equipped tent stood alongside the river and from our deck we could see and hear the animals across the river which was often forded by the baboon troupe who lived in the tree opposite. The campsite was about a ten minute drive away from the entrance to the Mara and was very well laid out with paths through the many trees surrounding the tents. The dining area was lit by candles only in the evening, the food good and the staff very attentive. Nearby was the fire pit and seating area where we could socialise with other guests and sample the local culture as we were entertained by the Masai singing and dancing. We were escorted around the camp site after dark by a Masai carrying a torch and spear!
Our driver/guide collected us from Nairobi and was with us for the four days of our trip before taking us back to the airport. George was an extremely good, careful driver who was extremely knowledgeable and enthusiastic and

good company. He planned our game drives in the Mara well and we enjoyed a 'bush breakfast' and on another day a picnic lunch watching a group of cheetahs. The wildlife was plentiful we saw herds of elephants, giraffe, buffalow, wildebeasts, hippos, and at least a thousand migrating zebra who were making the way back to the Mara River and Serengeti. The big cats were much in evidence and we saw many lion and cheetahs plus hyenas. It was wonderful to be so close to the wild life who were unconcerned by the many people gazing at them.
We chose Spirit of Kenya because we were impressed by the clear and organised way they presented their initial quote. The office staff were very helpful and arranged a wonderful tailormade safari for us and absolutely everything went beautifully.
