Extraordinary in terms of natural wildlife and scenic beauty

I've visited Masai Mara, Nakuru, Hells Gate, Naivasha and Amboselli and best safari experience I've had was in the first two (10/10, exceeded any expectations). Others were fun and Kilimanjaro is definitely worth seeing in Amboseli. Ukunda and the Indian ocean shores were fine, but not that unique as national parks. One thing worth mentioning when traveling to Kenya is that local people will desperately try to convince you to buy something or help them in some way. They are kind and friendly, but while visiting country and roaming in public areas expect constant attention.

Wildlife with Beauty

5 / 5 5 /5

Kenya as a country is just beauty with beasts.
The wildlife is mind blowing for adults to kids.
The scenic view of Mt Kilimanjaro or beaches of Diani can't be expressed in words.
Hospitality was to an extent which no one would imagine.
One needs to visit to feel it.

Beautiful country.

Kenya is a beautiful country. For people who love nature, the country is highly recommended.
My advice is to do the safaris yourself — not with a tourcompany/guide. With a tour, you get a driver (not a guide as promised) in an overcrowded safari jeep, with little flexibility, and you end up at lodges you wouldn’t have chosen yourself. A self-drive safari is easy to do with a 4-wheel drive and is much cheaper.

Awesome Kenya City, Beach, & safari family holiday

5 / 5 5 /5

Our family holiday was just AWESOME. Our La Maison hotel in Nairobi was great, our visits to the Sheldrick elephant orphanage and the giraffe sanctuary in Nairobi was just magical. Whilst in Nairobi, we had a meal at the brilliant Carnivore BBQ restaurant in Wilson, We would fly from Cyprus just for a meal here.
We then did a three day two night safari with Limitless Safaris Kenya, again which were awesome. We flew with Air Kenya from Nairobi/Wilson down to the Masai Mara. What a wonderful airline with all air and ground staff very friendly and welcoming. Our accommodation in the Masai Mara was the Mara Leisure Camp and again the camp was just amazing. Friendly staff nice cabins & superb food. Our game driver Ben was just amazing, his knowledge & experience in the reserve again was just awesome. From here we flew back to Wilson with a connection to Mombasa from Nairobi Int. Our all inclusive hotel, the Neptune Village spa Resort in Diana was just amazing. We then flew back
Read more to Nairobi Int on Jambo Air for our B.A connection to London with our transfer to larnaca, Cyprus. All our ground transportation was done by William Nderitu of Tours & Travel, Airport transfers. William looked after all our ground transportation needs in Nairobi. We would recommend his services if needed. Thank-You Kenya, cannot wait until our next visit...

We had a great time in Kenya with visiting Nairobi, Masai Mara and Diani Beach.
Especially the Masai Mara trip with our great guide Fred arranged by Dominic was a fantastic experience. We did not manage to see all big five, but having 9 lions resting in the shade was something we never imagined would happen…
Then seeing the ugly 5 was a fantastic treat fully making up for missing the rhino and leopard. Then we topped it all of with a balloon ride over Masai Mara that was brilliant!

Magical experience

5 / 5 5 /5

We visited Masai Mara, Amboseli, Naivasha and Tsavo parks - we saw the big 5 on our first day on the Mara!
Amboseli was dusty but the elephants were magnificent. If you go the Naivasha be sure to take a boat trip and if time Joy Adamsons centre (we didnt have time for Elsa unfortunately). We also visited Diani beach for a few days of well earned rest at the end of the trip - those safar massages in the jeeps are not all they're cracked out to be! A trip of a life time with an excellent planner and superb driver. Dont hesitate to book

Unique and stunning place!

My partner and I visited Kenya for the first time and went to Masai Mara two nights, Amboseli one night and another night at Lake Nakuru.
We absolutely loved all of them but the favourite is for sure Masai Mara where we managed to see all the big five in a very short time, including Cheetah and leopard.
Lake Nakuru is much smaller but the landscape was stunning and of course, is the house of Rhinos.
Amboseli,if you love elephants like we do, it’s a paradise. It’s plenty of them, as well as monkeys, giraffes and many mores.
People are extremely welcoming and great positive vides.

Incredible beauty of nature

5 / 5 5 /5

The warm and welcoming service from start to finish even made up for a mishap by the tour operator. We had a fantastic time in Kenya. The Masai Mara was beautiful, and the sheer abundance of nature and wildlife was simply indescribable. Amboseli National Park, with its location at the foot of Kilimanjaro, is breathtaking from every angle. Here, too, the sheer number of elephants and rhinos, in particular, captivated us.

Our driver, Patrick, kept us well-informed and provided us with everything we needed.
