peacefull , greenfull
We were 3 days in the Maasai mara Reserve, 2 days of safari and 1 morning to discover a typical Maasai village. We saw all the kenyan wildlife expect the Rhinoceros. Thank you Okoa for this experience, and thanks to our guide and driver. We will remember this trip for the rest of our life !

Kenya is an amazing, must visit country with great people, wildlife safaris and sunny beaches.
Our Kenyan holiday included 7 days in a Mombasa Beach Resort and a 4-day of safari to Tsavo East and West. We stayed in Sarova Beach Resort which was excellent with comfortable rooms, superb restaurants and exceptional staff who provided a great service. Our safari trip was arranged through Indigo Safaris using Explorer Kenya as the local provider. Explorer Kenya and our excellent driver / guide, Douglas Mwaiko, provided us with a truly memorable safari experience. We saw the Big 5 and much, much more.
Kenya is an amazing country to visit. The tourist experience is fantastic with excellent Mombasa Beach Resorts and memorable safari experiences. The quality of facilities is excellent but, above all, the experience is made really special by the friendly local people who always strive to provide an excellent service. Even a Covid Mask cannot hide a Kenyan smile. Asante Sana, Kenya

Amboseli National Park - Beautiful
Amboseli National Park was beautiful – diverse wildlife and landscape. Immediately saw zebras, lions, elephants, hippos, ostriches, and wildebeests. Highly recommend. Long day trip to/from Nairobi, but doable.

Beautiful landscapes and great wildlife diversity
We went on a 3 days safari tour with Mufasa Travels and had a great time thanks to Joël, our tour operator. He was super accessible and reactive, and organized everything from the airbnb pickup to the train station drop out (to go to Mombasa) after the 3 days.
We drove through Tsavo East and West and had the opportunity to see many different species (a lot of elephants, giraffes, zebras, dears, and a few lions too). August is the perfect season to visit Kenya, as the weather was dry (but not too much) and the temperature around 22/23 degrees.
Thanks for these great memories !
Better than I ever imagined
We went to Massai Mara, Lake Nakura and Ambaseli. All the lodges and camps were great, food was very good. We had an amazing guide called Jackton who had the knack to get the best views, and the organising by Apodiformes was perfect. I don't think you could beat Kenya for the wildlife, the hospitality and beauty.

Amzing wildlife
I enjoyed my trip, but there are few things I must say.
Safaris are overbooked. We had 10 people in the van ( including driver). For people sitting in the back or front sit (next to the driver) it was difficult to enjoy the experience. It was too crowded, sometimes I couldn't even turn or stand up for the view. Missed quite a lot because of that. Bare in mind people in the van won't just let you see.They want to enjoy as well and they won't just sit and say 'your turn now'. Vans should be bigger or less crowded.
People here will give you a price after looking at you and judging how much money you have. Prices are visible only in supermarkets.
Be careful what you buy. Souvenirs often contain bone, skin or plant fragments that are illegal to bring back home.
If you decide to stay in Nairoibi, avoid city centre. It's overcrowded, easy to get mugged. I alsao have beed sexually harrased and called names for no reason. Racist.
Rubbish everywhere. It was heartbreaking to see so much plastic and other stuff along the road. Very bad for environment.
Avoid raw fruits and vegetables, eat only what's been cooked. You never know what kind of water they used to wash.
Food was often cold. We stopped for lunches on our way from one park to another and never had a hot meal. Easy to get food poisoning.
Be prepared to spend a lot of money for tipping people. Every little thing they do for you they will expect you to tip them, some will even tell you how much.
On the good side wildlife is amazing.
You see the same animal many times and still don't have enough.
Most of the parks are really big. You just keep driving.
I liked the fact that they are kept as natural as possible (no modern roads, few stops with actual toilets etc.) Gives you real wild experience.

Masai Mara is breathtaking
We had a great time of 5 days in 3 parks: Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha and Amboseli. If you go there, twist it around and start with Amboseli and make sure to spend the most time in Masai Mara.

It's an amazing place.
It really was an amazing trip. The local people in Kenya are very enthusiastic. Kenya is also very beautiful, and Mount Kilimanjaro is particularly spectacular. And those animals, which are not at all different from the zoo, are very lively. The trip was perfect, here I have to mention Meektrails Safaris company and tour guide Eric, this company is very professional, Eric is also very kind, met all our requests, we saw all the animals! Thank you so much, this trip will be unforgettable.
