Best experience of our lives

We had the best safari experience ever. We went for 6 days safari to Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli and it was absolutely amazing. We were extremely lucky with our guide, George. He was absolutely perfect. He made sure we had the best experience ever, going above and beyond to make sure we could see as many animals as possible, while always ensuring we were happy. This has been the best decision we've ever made and the experience wouldn't have been the same without George!!!

We went to Kenya for our honeymoon and did a 6 day safari to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Amboseli. The weather was perfect in early September, we didn't experience any rain until the very end of our trip when we were in Mombasa. It wasn't too hot during the game drives during that time but a bit chilly in the morning so we brought a light sweater to layer. The people are so nice and willing to help wherever needed, although it is advisable to be cautious when in crowded places in Nairobi or Mombasa since there may be pickpockets. We didn't experience this, although we were cautious in the cities. We saw so many animals when we did our safari and our local tour operator was great in making sure our trip met our expectations. Accommodation is varied, as you can go as budget as you want or as luxurious as you want. We went mid-range and we thought it was worth it. Overall I would highly recommend Kenya as a vacation destination.

Kenya is beautiful in culture, wildlife, and landscape.

My visit to Kenya was nothing short of spectacular! Every item on my hope-to- experience wish list was fulfilled. Although we did not see the Great Migration river crossing, we certainly witnessed hundreds of wildebeest and zebras heading that direction. (Be aware that the crossing experience is luck of the draw!)
Our August weather was great and varied dependent upon where we were - chilly in higher elevations, hot in lower and both rainy and dry. Glad that we heeded the advice to dress in layers.
Our guide/drivers were not only congenial and knowledgeable, they also made certain that we saw all of the animals, sometimes driving FAST over bumpy terrain when a call came in about a sighting.
All of the Kenyan people we experienced in the Nairobi hotel and the camps/lodges were very helpful, kind, and hard-working. It was truly a delight to make new “friends.”
We thoroughly enjoyed our Maasai village visit. It is true that you give money to visit and are
Read more expected to purchase crafts from the women, but we didn’t mind doing this in exchange for a front row experience. Plus, the funds help these people school their children. As former teachers, that was important to us.
We did not visit any other countries but there was plenty to do in Kenya alone. From exploring Nairobi to petting the last two remaining white rhinos at Ol Pejeta and enjoying fabulous views of Kilimanjaro with numerous stops in between, the 15 day safari went much too quickly! Our tour company, Tapestry of Africa, was outstanding in every category. This truly was an adventure of a lifetime!

A wonderful safari experience with amazing wildlife

We had a really lovely safari experience and came back with some amazing memories.

We were very lucky with the wildlife and saw a huge number of animals throughout the trip, which made the experience even more special. The itinerary was varied and allowed us to discover different landscapes and parks.

The mid-range hotels were all very comfortable, and we were also pleasantly surprised by the quality of the meals, which were consistently very good.

Paul was very friendly and helpful in all our exchanges before the trip. He was flexible, understanding and really tried to accommodate our requests when organising the itinerary.

Our driver, Joseph, was also very friendly and attentive to our requests throughout the safari.

The only small disappointment concerned the final day and a visit we had specifically requested to add to the itinerary. This was not part of the original safari programme, and unfortunately it did

Overall, we had a very positive experience, saw an incredible amount of wildlife and really enjoyed our safari.

Kenya was an amazing destination and one of the highlights of our trip. The safari experience was unforgettable, with beautiful landscapes, incredible wildlife and a real feeling of adventure. We were lucky to see many animals in their natural environment, and every day offered something different. The scenery was stunning, the weather was pleasant and the overall atmosphere was very special. The accommodations were comfortable and made the experience even more enjoyable. Kenya is definitely a destination I would recommend to anyone who loves nature, wildlife and adventure

Breathtaking landscapes, extraordinary wildlife and the warmth of its people, Change you!

Kenya is a place where breathtaking landscapes, extraordinary wildlife and the warmth of its people come together to create an experience that doesn’t simply impress you—it changes you.

Our safari exceeded every expectation. The wildlife viewing was remarkable, but what made it truly unforgettable was seeing these magnificent animals living freely within Kenya’s vast, beautiful landscapes. Every drive offered something different, and even the quieter moments—watching the scenery, taking in the changing light and simply appreciating where we were—felt extraordinary.

Our accommodations were beautiful, comfortable and exceptionally welcoming. We were treated with genuine warmth throughout our stay. Agnes, the accommodations manager, was gracious and attentive and made us feel completely at home. Janet, our personal server, took wonderful care of us and brought such warmth and kindness to every meal. Their hospitality was every bit as memorable as the
Read more surroundings.

Our guide, Tonkie, was exceptional. His knowledge, patience and ability to locate wildlife transformed each game drive into an experience we will never forget. He did far more than simply show us animals—he helped us understand what we were seeing and gave us a much deeper appreciation for Kenya’s wildlife and natural environment.

The scenery was spectacular, the weather was wonderful, the wildlife was beyond anything we could have imagined, and the hospitality was deeply genuine. Kenya delivered far more than a vacation; it gave us memories and relationships that will remain with us for the rest of our lives.

On a scale of 1 to 10, Kenya was easily a 20. We cannot recommend it highly enough.

We loved Kenya!

Kenya was stunning. The Masai Mara was incredible, so much wildlife to see.
Nakuru a totally different landscape but just as stunning.
Mountain biking through hells gate national park around giraffe, zebra, birds and other wildlife was such a highlight.
We had perfect weather in August. It was just a shame we never saw Kilimanjaro from Amboseli.
We spent two night in Mombasa in. A beautiful resort right in a gorgeous beach on the Indian Ocean.

We can’t recommend Kenya enough and would love to return.
