Wonderful wildlife, landscape and people. The different areas of Kenya - including Nairobi, the Masai Mara and Lamu, provided
fresh and interesting experiences in each new location.

We had an amazing time. We arrived in Nairobi and spent two nights there. We coudn't belive the diversity of wildlife in the National Park on the doorstep of the hotel. We adored The Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and the baby elephants. From Nairobi we took a short flight to Amboseli National park which was truly magical. The list of wildlife we saw was huge!
The hotels were great, the people lovely and freindly and the food was good.
I am delighted to have contacted Safari Bookings.

Wonderful safari experience from Diani Beach to Saltlick Lodge

I don’t have word to describe how wonderful was the experience in safari. When we’ve booked everything, we were a bit sceptic about what conditions we’ll have, but everything was great! We’ve booked a 2 day safari from Diani Beach to Saltlick Lodge. Our driver, Stephen has done all the great things for us, he didn’t stop until we’ve seen all the animals, from elephants, giraffes, buffalo, zebras and of course the lions. He gave us a lot of details about all the animals, the wildlife and his great vibe made us enjoy every moment. The lodge is also an unique experience, to sleep while hearing all the animals outside. There were elephants families with small babies coming to the lodge to drink water, along with other animals like zebra, baboons or buffalos. I really recommend taking this safari for someone who wants to enjoy all the wildlife in 2 days.

My husband and I participated in a two day safari at Masi Mara. Overall the experience was excellent. Our driver/guide was wonderful! Friendly, accommodating, knowledgeable, fun and funny! We covered a lot of territory and saw many animals and birds. The land rover was spacious and comfortable. A great experience!

A journey that truly surprised me

Kenya completely exceeded my expectations. From the moment we arrived, the country revealed itself as a place of extraordinary beauty, calm, and authenticity. It was a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Our visit to the Masai Mara National Reserve was absolutely breathtaking. Seeing the Big Five within just four hours felt almost unreal. The park was wonderfully peaceful at the end of November, with very few jeeps around, allowing us to experience nature in its purest form. The sheer number of animals and the vast, open landscapes created moments of silence and awe that will stay with me forever.
We were especially glad with our guide, Kennedy from Update Travels. His knowledge, professionalism, and calm presence made the safari even more enjoyable.
The visit to a Maasai village, however, was more mixed. While we genuinely believe the Maasai people are sincere and proud of their culture, the experience itself felt somewhat like a tourist trap. Some individuals
Read more asked prices that felt excessive, which took away a bit of the authenticity and created an uncomfortable feeling of unfairness. (seeing smartphones and iPhones alongside traditional attire made the experience feel less genuine than expected.)
That said, this does not diminish the overall magic of Kenya. It is a country of powerful contrasts, deep beauty, and unforgettable moments. The landscapes, wildlife, and tranquility of the safari alone make Kenya a destination that leaves a lasting impression and invites you to return.

For those looking to check off another item off their bucket list and to see a Safari as it is meant to be, I highly recommend going to Kenya. From the first camp to the last, it’s like walking onto a movie set. The picturesque views and the abundance of wildlife were so much more than we expected. We saw lions and rhinos and zebras and giraffes and monkeys and wildebeest and buffaloes in warthogs and birds aplenty. And for the most amazing experience, I highly recommend the hot air balloon over the Masai Mara - you will never forget it

The Massai Mara was beautiful in November with many animal sitings, including lions, cheeta, giraffes, elephants, hippos and the list goes on. We highly recommend!
