Experience of a lifetime
I have been back 2 weeks and I'm already thinking about how I can save to go back to Kenya! When deciding to go on my first-ever safari, I chose the Maasai Mara because it is supposed to be the best for big cat viewing. It was a lucky decision, because Kenya has SO much more to offer. The scenery, and the chance to sit and watch elephants walk by very closely with just the sound of their tromping and chomping and no other vehicles in sight, was just one among many unforgettable moments.
We stayed in a budget tent camp which suited us well, because we were able to put the savings to a private safari (rather than a group tour) and the accommodations were better than expected! We had flush toilets, a comfortable bed, and zebras eating right outside our tent every night. The camp also was very accommodating to my dietary needs (I'm a vegetarian). The Maasai Mara is an amazing magical place, our tented camp overlooked part of it so we could see giraffes and wildebeests as as we pulled in.
Last but certainly not least, our safari guide MADE our experience. Although at other times interacting with various businesses catering to tourists I felt very much an outsider/a potential customer, our guide spent 4 days with us and treated us like friends. He was also extremely knowledgeable about Kenya's history, animal behavior, and conservation needs.
This was my first safari (but certainly not my last). My travel partner had been to South Africa and enjoyed it, but she said our Kenya trip was 8X better! The all-day private game drives, the amazing interactions with so much wildlife, and the knowledge and warmth of our guide made the difference for her.

fabulous!
Everythig was great! When I visit next time, would like to ask the same guide to go around with us.
Fantastic
We booked Beacon Safari through Safari Bookings for a 3 day safari to the Maasai Mara in Kenya. Beacon was very responsive and delivered on all promises. Our driver/guide was very knowledgeable about the animals we saw. The Maasai Mara is very beautiful and we saw all of the Big 5 within 24 hours of arriving in the park. We also saw a wealth of other animals and birds. All in all, we really enjoyed Kenya.

One of the best experience in my life
Safari organized by Peter was great. Everything was according to the itinerary. Price was correct and everything was included in the price.
Masai Mara in August with all the animals is just fantastic, it is difficult to describe it only with words. We have visited also Lake Nakuru NP, where we saw rhinos and many other animals, also an unforgettable experience, lake Naivasha is also nice for a boat ride ( but boat ride is quite expensive), and riding a bike in Hell's gate NP was a great experience.
Accommodation during the safari was simple but clean and nice, the food was also simple but healthy and tasty.
The weather was nice, but during the night quite cold, so come prepared :)
All in all, I recommend Kenya and safari with Peter and East Africa Tours and Safaris
Excellent
The guide is very kind. It’s Perfect season to visit Kenya.

Truly a one of kind, amazing experience!
It’s winter in July so it’s a little cool in the early mornings. However, the wildlife is amazing. It’s very scenic and we have a great tour guide with Deep Forest Safaris. Samuel and his team provided a one of kind experience. We always felt comfortable, safe and in good company. Truly recommend Kenya for safari and DFS!! Thank you

Safari was Amazing
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.

It was just amazing! The best ever experience in my life. As a biologist, I strongly recommend Kenya
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!
Karibu in this beautiful country you have to visit at least once in a lifetime!
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!
