Animal and birdwathers paradise

5 / 5 5 /5

We did the Masai Mara and Lake Nakura safaris and were extremely happy with both. Mara mostly for the animals and Nakuru for birds. Our guide, Jeff, was great and looked after us and through him we saw every animal we could think of including and amazing sight of a Leopard descending from a tree just before sunset. Nakuru was brilliant for birds but also animals, although not big cats on our trip there but we did see rhinos. We shared the trip with others but everyone was super nice and we all got on. Definitely one of the highlights of my life!

Everything was arranged by Xavier who was very good at listening to what we were looking for and giving suggestions. He also arranged all the accomodation which was very good.

6 out of 5 stars - amazing trip!

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

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5

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!!

5 / 5 5 /5

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
Read more an extended visit. If you are on the fence, thinking about going, I recommend that you get busy and plan your trip. I promise, you will not be disappointed!

Malindi Tsavo Amboseli

We booked our Safari through Henry who organised the tented camps we wished to stay in for the ever changing number of guests we had! As no one could make up their mind. Patience of a saint. We organised drivers as we had to travel from one National Park to another, but you could use the camp guides if preferred or you are staying in one camp for your trip and they probably know where the game is, as working there every day. Camps inside your chosen park work well as you can stay in the parks longer before they close at 6pm. So if you are staying outside a park you might want to have a whole day in, with a picnic to see the most of it, often it takes 1.5hrs to get to the centres where the game is, especially if just a short stay like we had. Also it’s very important to get new Safari 4x4s with lifting tops not open sides. With USB charging points as your phones will go flat over a full day. Your guide’s if not camp guides are key, they will be showing you all the key spots and talking
Read more about the habitat and animals, check out if they are a qualified guides or trackers. Safari bookings were great and if you follow these tips you will have a wonderful trip which ever safari park you visit. Tsavo East was a huge savannah with much ground to cover but most of the game and elephant is along the Galana river. Amboseli is much smaller, with its lakes and flat marsh, provides for hippo and elephant and most species of antelope. We didn’t see Lion in Amboseli but caught a glimpse of Hyena but the wading birds are beautiful and a wide range of species with flamingo and pelican amongst the hippo if your a birder. Our camp Discovery Camp delightful and simple with a fire pit and pool and importantly owned and run by local Kenyans inside the park for early or night game drives.

Unforgettable safari & warm hospitality in magical Kenya

5 / 5 5 /5
5 / 5 5 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5

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!
