Unbeatable wildlife

4 / 5 4 /5

Maasai Mara, lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha were amazing. Saw almost everything we wanted to see besides a leopard. Sadly driving through towns and cities, it does not seem like much of the money generated from so much tourism is used to improve the livelihoods of locals. However, locals were very friendly and all spoke great English

Kenya is a real dream!

We had a great experience with the agency, despite a few hiccups (a strike, a bolt in the Jeep's tire, etc.).
The drivers were all highly skilled and knew the parks like the back of their hand! This really helped us spot all the wildlife, too.
We were also very happy with the accommodation—aside from the restrictions on electricity and hot water, but that’s standard throughout the country!

Transfer and Lodge was perfect! Driver was on time every day and was forced to show us the nature and animals. The focus from me was to fotgraph the red belied parrot. The driver shows me that birds and placed the car for good pictures.

Great wildlife and scenery, but be prepared for rough roads and a few travel inconveniences.

Kenya is a very interesting destination, especially for wildlife viewing. The national parks and reserves offer great chances to see animals, and the scenery can be impressive, particularly around Amboseli and the Maasai Mara.

The tourism industry is quite well developed, with many lodges, safari companies and experienced guides. However, traveling can be tiring. Some roads are extremely bumpy and dusty, and long drives between destinations can take more energy than expected.

The weather in August was generally comfortable, with cooler mornings and pleasant temperatures during the day. Accommodation standards varied but were mostly fine.

Overall, Kenya was a worthwhile trip with some excellent experiences, but it is not always an easy or comfortable destination to travel around.

Kenya is the most suitable for safari

4 / 5 4 /5

We only did a 4d/3n budget safari to masai mara np, lake nakuru.
I suggest it's the easiest and nicest safari in Africa. It's very popular that means you can find value for money agents, you easily see the big 5 , landscape is characterized by Africa bushes and trees.
Flamingo in lake nakuru very few and nothing special. Lake naivasha boat trip not worthy, just enjoy the view of the lake drinking tea and watching the animals.

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.

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

4 / 5 4 /5

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
