Everything is Amazing!
4 of us travelled to nairobi from London on 8th January, 2 of us have experienced amazing wildlife in kenya previously and were excited to return, we were not disappointed ! We travelled with Gemfinders, a great find, organised, communicative and fun, and took time to find lots of birds for my very enthusiastic birding husband! Such a great time, I would thoroughly recommend Kenya as a great safari location, others countries are great too but on this occasion it was the right trip for us. Be prepared for early morning and evening game drives, a safari is an adventure !

2.5 safari and beach
Safari
We saw the big 5 in 3 days with the Leopard being the most elusive. Ol Peteja and Lake Nukuru were great for rhinos. With conservation entrenched in Kenyan society it makes for the best Rhino viewing in Africa. Maasi Mara was iconic abundant with wildlife but minus the migration chaos. There was a max of 8-10 cars for a predator in January which does seem allot but is still much lower than peak season (migration). Highly recommend the Mara Big 5 camp which was peak glamping luxe with amazing food. We would also recommend a cultural

tour of one of the traditional Maasai villages. Hell's gate was a nice change of scenery as we were able to bike it as opposed to being in the car. If you are interested in viewing Kilimanjaro and seeing elephents Amboselii is worth while, however Kilimanjaro usually has a but if cloud cover even on a clear blue sky day. Personally we would've opted for an extra day at Ol Pejeta on retrospect. We also saw many red elephants on our train trip from Nairobi to Mombasa on the Mardaka Express (highly recommend the premium experince- it's like plane business class for a $120 usd for a 5hr trip).Our safari adventures continued on the coast with scuba diving in Watamu (my first time) and snorkelling in Wasai marine park (1hr South if Diani). Overall we felt safer and easier to access shops, restaurants and less hassle on the beach in Diani than Watamu. Watamu is smaller and more village like with good Swahili food (and many average Italian options). For Watamun I would recommend to book things a 4-5 days in advance (like diving, SUP and dhow trips).
Accomadation during our safari was fantastic. We noted Kenyan hotels have a lower rating than Australian hotels on websites like Booking.com which we could not understand the rooms and service was fantastic. Oddly we found the higher rated accomadation to be more basic (with excellent service), maybe because these were more social enterprises giving back to the community.

Kenya is a lovely country with friendly people with stunning beauty natural beauty.
We traveled with Asory Safari company, who were very friendly and well organised, and flexible to changes to our itinerary. The driver were very experienced at finding the animals in the Maasai Mara National Park at this time of year, when the grasslands are entering the end of the dry season, thus less feed around, and less animals to see, but we saw all the main animals living in the national park in 2 days. We also took a balloon flight which was stunning in the early morning sunrise which I would recommend to anyone visiting the Maasai Mara.

Excellent once in a lifetime experience
It was a super great experience; more than what I thought I will experience. Food, ambience and wildlife - super nice.

Fabulous experience.
Our safari was amazing in the Tsavo parks and our stay at Salt Lick Lodge was phenomenal. I recommend Marl Safari if you want a personalized safari that makes you feel safe and cared for. Of course, we enjoyed the parks and saw elephants, giraffes, lions, zebras, a wart hog, wildebeest, antelopes, hartebeests, buffalo, and secretary birds. The icing was all the baby animals we were able to see, including elephants and a lion cub.
Our unfortunate incident involved our booking in Niali for

a place that no longer was available. Marl did not abandon us there and helped us secure a room in Diani. We stayed at a resort on the beach that I absolutely loved. Stepping into the Indian Ocean was amazing. The white beach was pristine. It was a wonderful trip I feel blessed I was able to complete.The other thing that stood out was the security. Be prepared to go through 3 security checks before entering train and airport.
Everyone was so friendly. The Tuk-Tuks were fun to ride. The only thing I would have done differently was have Empass on my phone, which you need a Kenya number for. There are sim cards available to create one. I highly recommend as it is EVERYWHERE!

Beautiful and varied experience
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.

It was magical; the whole trip was perfect.
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.
