Marvelous wildlife, terrible slums and trash everywhere

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 3 / 5 4 / 5 5 / 5
We visited 3 national parks - Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli. It was a 6-day safari, well organised, jeep travel. The driver was also our guide and Jackson was a very experienced and knowledgeable guy. The thing which we did not take into account in advance was that travel distances are quite big and rather tiresome. Inside the national parks roads are dirty (red all-sticking dust) and very uneven, while the riding lasts 6 to 7 hours. Between the parks distances are 200-300 km or more, some parts of these also on dirty roads. In 2 words - lots of jeep riding. This, plus early wake-ups (5:30 am) to catch the rhythm of the animals equals to tiredness. People should be prepared for this - we were not, which was our fault only. Nothing to do with the guide and the company. For those seeking to observe lots of birds and some animals, I'd suggest going to Nakuru only; for elephants - Amboseli is the perfect place.
We slept in so called "budget" accommodations - a hotel
Read more in Nakuru and tents in the other 2 parks. Tents were spacious, something like 30 sq.m. with private toilet and a shower stand, comfortable beds, etc. Mosquitos are endless and invisible, be prepared. The food was basic but tasty, only lunch boxes were rather boring - every day there was 1/4 of fried chicken. In general - great experience, fascinating wildlife, everybody pushes you to give away some money ... walking wallets syndrome.

Kenya is a country with very beautiful nature. You should definitely visit one of the national parks and have a beach holiday at Diani Beach.

Experience African life

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

Kenia offers the possiblity to experience African (wild) life in many aspects. The different nature reserves present different landscapes and a variety of wild life. While travelling from one park to the other you get an impression of the culture and Kenian society.
The national museum in Nairobi is a good starting point - you can learn about the people and animals you might encounter during your visit. The climate was nice - in november it was warm and cool, some rain and much sunshine.
The tour guide and staff in the lodges where very helpful and friendly.

Watching the wildlife is really great, but the road facilities definitely still have room for improv

Maasai Mara is the most worthwhile place to visit. Although the accommodation is the most basic compared to the other places, it really allows you to see the most wildlife. Amboseli is mainly for viewing the snow-capped Mount Kilimanjaro. The scenery of Lake Naivasha is also nice, and it is recommended to take a boat ride and visit the islands. The animals at Lake Nakuru are relatively far away. If time is limited, the top recommendations are Maasai Mara and Lake Naivasha.

Kenya is a very special country, unlike anything I had seen before. Its landscapes, flora, and fauna are stunning. The people are wonderful, kind, and truly special. I do worry about the levels of poverty, although I felt that people there live happily.

Regarding the tour operator, the sales representative Laura, originally from Spain, was excellent. She helped us throughout the entire booking process and even after the sale. Our driver was exceptional as well, always helpful and cooperative. I would definitely return to Kenya with the same tour operator.
