6 out of 5 stars - amazing trip!

5 / 5 5 /5

We were picked up at our hotel by Ernest right on time and started the drive to Amboseli. We had a short stop at a souvenir shop where it was also possible to go to the washroom. We arrived at Sopa Lodge for lunch and after lunch we went for a gamedrive before coming back again for dinner.

Sopa Lodge is a really nice Lodge, food was really great and staff was all very welcoming and kind. A special thanks to Papa who gave us the history of Hemmingways.

From pickup to dropoff Ernest was amazing. The drive to and from Amboseli was safe and efficient and the gamedrives were magical thanks to Ernest’s great driving and knowledge about the animals. Ernest knew everything there’s is to know and not even a bird was left out, which we loved! Ernest was welcoming and definitely a big part of why our trip to Amboseli was as amazing as it was! Thank you!

Would HIGHLY recommend to book your safari to Amboseli with Ernest!

We only saw a small portion but really liked what we did see

5 / 5 5 /5

We visited 2 areas after crossing in from Tanzania at the Namanga border - Amboseli and Nairobi. Amboseli was spectacular. So very dry but this added to the vibe and feeling, particularly at sunset where we watched elephant herds walking towards Kilimanjaro for the night. After a night here we proceeded to Nairobi and took a great driving tour of the city center and then visited Nairobi National Park where we had spectacular up close views of rhinos and lions. The Giraffe Center to see and feed the Rothchild Giraffes was also very worthwhile.

The Maasai Mara was as Advertised!

We visited the Maasai for three nights. We stayed at the Mara Engai Lodge. It is a tented lodge with about 24 tents. The lodge itself and everybody that work there was great! The temp was very spacious and had everything we needed.

We went on two full day safaris and a half day safari during our time at the Maasai Mara. Our guide, Lewice, was fantastic and we saw all of the big five animals. He was very willing to wait until we got our full fill of viewing of each animal. He also had a lot of information about the animals and the flora and Fana of the area. I’m a Sara was very beautiful and the safari were very relaxing. We enjoyed our time there.

An Absolutely Amazing Experience!!

Our trip to Kenya was amazing and exceeded my wildest expectations! The safari at the Masai Mari did not disappoint as we saw all of the Big Five. It was stunning to see a pride of lions, who had just taken down a buffalo, devour the beast before our very eyes. To see the rhino, running free (and as fast as our vehicle) elicited oohs and ahs from our entire vehicle. We also visited Lake Nakuru and witnessed it diversity of wildlife and all of the different birds. To witness the vast expanse of the Great Rift Valley was breathtaking. Our final stop was Lake Naivasha where we were overwhelmed by the flora and the fauna, and just the natural beauty of the place. The locals were super friendly, very welcoming, and extremely humble, and made you feel welcome in their country. The food was delicious, and I recommend sampling some of the local dishes for a unique gastronomical experience. Overall, I am very satisfied with my Kenyan experience and have already began making plans to return for

Unforgettable safari & warm hospitality in magical Kenya

Kenya is an amazing destination where every day feels like an adventure. The wildlife parks, from the Masai Mara to Amboseli, are full of incredible animals and unforgettable scenery, with Mount Kilimanjaro as a backdrop. Beyond the safaris, the local culture is rich and welcoming; the warmth of the Kenyan people makes the experience truly special. The weather was generally pleasant, and I felt safe and well taken care of throughout my trip. Highly recommended for anyone who wants both natural beauty and cultural depth!

My Safari in Kenya – A Journey we will Never Forget
We have travelled to many places, but nothing compares to the magic I felt in Kenya. I booked a 3-day safari through Safari Bookings that took me from Mombasa to Emali by train and onward to Amboseli in Jeep, every moment felt like stepping into a nature documentary.

Amboseli: Elephants and Kilimanjaro Amboseli was a dream. One morning, we watched a herd of elephants cross the dusty plains with Mount Kilimanjaro glowing in the background. If you’ve ever dreamed of seeing elephants roam freely beneath the towering silhouette of Mount Kilimanjaro, Amboseli National Park is where that dream comes to life. From the moment we entered the park, the landscape felt cinematic—dusty plains dotted with acacia trees, shimmering swamps, and the snow-capped peak of Kilimanjaro looming like a guardian in the distance. Our driver was phenomenal, effortlessly spotting wildlife and sharing stories that brought the ecosystem

The highlight? Watching a herd of elephants cross the marshlands at sunset. Calves playfully splashed in the water while older matriarchs led the way with quiet authority. It was humbling and beautiful. We also saw lions lounging in the shade, stalking prey in the distance, and flocks of flamingos painting the wetlands pink. Birdwatchers will be in heaven—Amboseli is home to over 400 bird species. The park is well-maintained, and the lodges nearby offer stunning views and warm hospitality. It’s dusty, yes—but that’s part of the charm. Bring a mask, scarf, a good camera, and an open heart. Amboseli isn’t just a destination—it’s a revelation. If you love elephants, giraffe, gazelles, zebras, monkeys’ hippopotamus and many more animals roaming freely and dramatic landscapes, and raw, untamed beauty, this is the safari for you.

People & Culture
Beyond the wildlife, the Kenyan people made this trip unforgettable. Very friendly helpful, our driver was brilliant knew the route and knowledge of most animal behaviours and their history exceptional driver/guide.

Lodges & Comfort
Each lodge was thoughtfully chosen — from canvas tents under the stars to eco-lodges with panoramic views. The food was fresh, the staff were attentive, and the evenings were filled with laughter and storytelling.
Final Reflection Kenya didn’t just show me animals — it showed me life in its rawest, most beautiful form. If you’re considering a safari, don’t hesitate. Kenya will change you.
