Fascinating to be there and the animals were all present, but not so easy to see given the size and also the sad state of our vehicle. The driver was young and followed the herds, so we missed out on cheetahs and rhinos, but still we did see a great deal in the short time we had.

It was all very exciting to be there and see all the animals in the wild. But there were not as many animals as I thought there would be. Your guide has to really work hard to find the cats for you to view and you might not see all the species. I can't help feeling that because of the large volume of safari vehicles that the animals have taken to hiding away. Our driver assured us that the animals are used to all the cars as they have been in the parks for so many years now. This probably is correct as the animals were not that concerned about the cars stopping to view them.
The tracks are so bad,that you get tossed and buffeted around in the car, so much so that we call it the African massage!!

Awesome place. Great savannah till horizony with thousands of animals, especially so many Gnus and Zebras in August during great migration. We saw few lions, gepards, hienas, many giraffes, warthogs, vultures, hippos, thousands of gnu, zebras and gazelles.

There's a wider chance of meeting the big five there. We got to see four out of the fives. We were able to follow a lonely lion, watch a leopard (puma)devour his lunch, chat with 2 giraffes and missed our appointment with the rhinos all that before lunch. It's an amazing feeling to be in the wild with all these animals and more.

Was expecting to see the wildebeast migration, but they were very late. Without that volume of animals it was actually very empty. I've just seen better wildlife in other parks.

Wow. SO INCREDIBLE. I expected to see animals but i guess i thought they would just be laying around all day like our pet cat. Instead, we saw hyenas tearing apart a zebra and fighting over it, hippos barking at 20’ crocodiles, a lion protecting its kill from a group of marauding hyenas, a leopard climbing a tree where it had previously stored a dead gazelle, cheetahs going after a zebra... so incredible. Saw some cool birds. Did not see rhinos. Ol Pejeta was the best place to see rhinos.
We planned our trip so we would witness the Great Migration and, unfortunately, it had not yet began. This turned out to be just fine.... we saw so many animals and animals events. So if your trip doesn’t overlap the migration, there is still SO MUCH to see!
