It's an impressive animal paradise.
Our trip to Kenya lasted 15 days. A 7-day safari through the Masai Mara reserve, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha (Crescent Island), and Amboseli reserve. A magnificent experience that exceeded our expectations. We spent 3 days visiting Nairobi, including the giraffe center, the home of Karen Blexin (author of *Memoirs of Africa*), and the Kazuri Handicraft Center. We finished with 5 days on Diani Beach.

Lovely countryside, lovely people.
We had a great time on safari, seeing everything I hoped for with the exception of leopards. Our guide John was super and very knowledgeable. The accommodation and food were perfect. Only slight downside was the time taken to travel between locations, particularly from Nakuru to Ambesoli, but that can't really be helped.

Amboseli was great. Nairobi not so much
Loved it at Amboseli, even outside the national park there were plenty of animals and Kilimanjaro was amazing too see. Nairobi is a busy city…not our vibe but a necessary stop on the way

Kenya, An Unforgettable Adventure
Between the vast savannas teeming with African wildlife and the vibrant energy of Nairobi, this journey through Kenya was a truly memorable experience. From the thrill of the safari to the urban discoveries of the capital, this trip beautifully blended breathtaking nature with rich cultural encounters.
I was deeply touched by the warm welcome and outstanding hospitality throughout the different parks. Having an experienced and dedicated guide and driver available at all times made every moment seamless and special.
A heartfelt thank you to Chris for making this adventure truly unforgettable.

Amboseli Wildlife Park
There were eight of us and the one Toyota safari vehicle was cramped, and we should have booked two vehicles and drivers.
The Sopa lodge in Amboseli was great, the rooms were comfortable, the staff very friendly and helpful and the choice and quality of food at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner were excellent, as were the facilities such as the pool, the massage spa, the Hemingway bar and indoor and outdoor bar areas, and gardens.
We had been travelling by road in Southern and Eastern African countries for four weeks and had already been to a number of large wildlife parks, and I’d suggest the wildlife viewing in Amboseli was much

sparser than in Tanzania, and the Serengeti and I think we would have been happier had we travelled further North in Kenya to the Masai Mara National Park. Maybe next time.The Amboseli NP suited our travel arrangements as we had four days to fill in between leaving the Rift valley in Tanzania and flying from Nairobi to Mauritius. We had already been spoilt for Wildlife and so for our needs the Cherish Safari was perfect.
After leaving Amboseli, Esther had booked us a night’s accommodation in the Panafric Hotel in Nairobi which was perfect for our last night before leaving Kenya Thank you Esther and Francis.

We enjoyed our 2 day Safari in Tsavo East. Our driver did an excellent job finding the interesting locations from which we observed wild life
Highly recommended

A most memorable Safari that unexpectedly included quite a bit of extra education ....
about all the animals and some of the plant life. Our first lodge and its cuisine was excellent, and our second was a nice was average overall. Our Guides were excellent.

We experienced the best and worst of what Kenya has to offer
Outside of the Safari we spent several days in Nairobi was well as visiting Oyugis and Kisumu in western Kenya. Our short visit to downtown Nairobi on day one was marred by being confronted with blatant government corruption. I unknowingly took a single cell phone photo of the parliament building from across a four lane street. I was immediately approached by two guards armed with automatic weapons and threatened with jail and a fine for taking the photo; my phone was also confiscated.

Luckily, I was accompanied by a Kenyan citizen who knew that what the guards really wanted was a bribe. It took roughly 60 USD to get my phone back.Corruption and open bribery also reared its ugly head at the parks. It was clear that bribes needed to be paid to park officials as park in addition to the official entry fees. It was also clear that the official entry fees are not used to help improve the parks.
Traveling around the country was great; the scenic beauty of the rural countryside, tea plantations and sunsets over Lake Victoria were awesome. But, the lack of infrastructure, pollution and horrendous traffic detracted from the overall beauty.

Lovely people but we were only there for 1 day and night so difficult to judge.
In the one day / night we stayed we managed a 4 hour game drive at the Nairobi National Park. Perfect for a 4 hour game drive. Company that organised it were good, good value for money and loved our driver, he was great.
