Kenya the friendly destination
We had a great time from start to finish from the wildlife of the Masai Mara and Amboseli to the incredible soft white sand beach at Diani. Everybody we came across was polite, helpful and friendly. Getting around can be a bit hairy at times with the state of the roads and the trek to Masai being long and busy. Best to plan ahead where you plan to go and book a guide if it's your first time. Everything is good value but be prepared for a lot of tipping. Currency wise we found it useful to have cash in both dollars and shillings for small buys and tips. We found no issues at all with mosquitos probably as it was the dry season. Food and drink is really good value compared to UK, all being well prepared and presented at all the safari lodges and hotels. Food at the safari lodges, which is included in your trip tends to be of a buffet style with plenty of good choices and options. All in all an enjoyable time and good fun chatting with the local lads about football as their all mad keen on the Premier League. I can highly recommend Kenya as a destination for Safari and beach.

An amazing once in a lifetime experience!
I’ve been to Kenya before and it’s always incredible but to see my wife’s face on every game drive was so special. She was amazed at the wildlife and I’m so glad that she got to experience it as everyone should once in their lifetime! I regret that we didn’t get out to Malindi but maybe next time.
Oh yeah, you must eat at The Carnivore too!

Beautiful
We loved Kenya this is my second time and the place we stayed and the hospitality was superb One thing that may help travellers in future is really look at time of year for animals you want to see , we have done 4 safari’s in different countries, and we picked the one we did ,because you do not go through gates and even with gated safari’s the animals have miles to wander , you are not seeing how it really is , often they are tagged , this has its up side as you are more likely to see more , we took a chance and still saw most of big five , but what we didn’t realise is as the weather changes so does the animal’s behaviour and in the rainy season they tend to go to ground, this year that has started early , we were lucky and missed it but something worth considering

Amazing wildlife in Samburu
From the minute we arrived we were treated to an amazing array of wildlife. Each day was perfect.

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!!!

Beautiful
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.
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

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!

It's peace for my soul.
One day, I hope I can stay there forever.
People, landscape and wildlife are incredibly great. No words for that.

A wonderful safari experience with amazing wildlife
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

not work out as expected. For any unusual or very specific requests like this, we would simply recommend discussing the practical details and feasibility carefully with Paul in advance.Overall, we had a very positive experience, saw an incredible amount of wildlife and really enjoyed our safari.

An unforgettable safari experience in Kenya
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
