Heaven of wild life

4 / 5 4 /5

It was our first time to see so many wild life living freely, harmoniously and happily. It was exciting to see the families of lions and elephants, and so many wildebeests marching in the same direction. Kenya did a good job in protecting these beautiful wild life for mankind and the world!

The ZOO of the world

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 4 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5

The big five, the ugli five and lot more in a 7 days-safari. Marvelous safaris at NP Masai Mara, Lake Nakaru, Lake Naivasha, Hell's gate and NP Amboseli. Kenya is the giant ZOO of the world. You can see it all.

It was a superb trip. Because of the animals we could see from close, but also the tour it self. Even the budget variant offers comfortable accomodations with tents (including beds, toilet, shower) and middle class hotels. The Jeeps are handy on the off the road paths of the NP's. The roof goes up, standing you get a perfect view on the animals. The driver is also the guide. He had al lot of knowledge about the wild.

Food is good, but not that varied. The roads are busy with slow trucks. So it demands a careful driver and it takes time to go from A to B. Nairobi is nice to visit for one day, in my opinion. Most come specialy for the wonderful world ZOO Kenya offers and you won't be disappionted!!

Wonderful wildlife

We had a very nice safari. Elephants and flamingo sightings were especially delightful. Our guide Shaddy was really wonderful. We had planned a full day safari. As it turned out during our safari we got a message from our airline saying ours flight that night was cancelled, rescheduled for the following morning. We had been in Madagascar for two and a half weeks, were on our way home to the USA. Shaddy found us a hotel near airport with a late night restaurant and a shuttle. He settled us in before he left us. He went above and beyond.

One of the best places for seeing wildlife.

We did the trip to Kenya in September to see the great migration. However, we couldn’t see the migration, but our Safari driver helped us to see all the big five and much more.
The stay in the premium tent was amazing.

Unbeatable wildlife

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 4 / 5 4 / 5 0 / 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.

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 4 / 5 5 / 5 4 / 5

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
5 / 5 0 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 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.
