The real African safari experience - rough journey, wonderful accomodation on arrival, all the Big Game, fabulous scenery, - day-to-day life & death to be seen on every game-drive. (I don't know what Tanzania could offer that the Masai Mara doesn't). If driving yourself, beware you are not permitted to go off track. The game-rangers are really strict.

Have been both during and after the "great herd migration". Wonderful for both wildlife (all the big 5 plus cheetahs, hippos, and more) and local Masaai village visits. The accommodations were lovely. Don't remember where we stayed the 1st time, but the 2nd was associated with the Fairmont hotels.

It would be great but there was too many people.

A special Kenyan site where you have a good change to see a lot of wildlife. The Reserve has good activities and an adequate format of accommodations. The scenery is gorgeous, with such a wide variety of landscapes.

If you want to see classic African savannah with the big 5, this is an excellent choice. Just be prepared to also see lots of tourists.

More animals than at Amboseli, perhaps due to the fact that the drivers could go off-road to find them.

We were there for the migration saw great amounts of animals - all the big five minus the rino. It was a bit more croweded than the other parks we went too. Had a cheetah jump on the hood of our safari truck. Overall great experience! Must see and do!

This is the park with the most wildlife in Kenya. It's a huge area and that makes it a more "wild experience" without any fences in sight. Although it get's lots of visitors, you rarely feel disturbed by other tour groups. We got to see all the big five as well as lots of other wildlife. We came close up to a huge group of elephants, got to see several lions with cubs, cheetas hunting, Masai Giraffe, Pumbaas, Hyenas, Gazelles etc etc. The landscape is mostly Savanna with an Acacia tree every now and then.
