Safe journey
This tour is very safe and enjoyable!
I’d like to highly recommend it to anyone who wants to experience safari in Kenya. You can see the real life of animals unlike a zoo.
Our tour guide Castro kindly explained everything about each animal we witnessed. It was totally helpful.
I could not withdraw kenya cash at the airport because the card was rejected and couldn’t pay the extra safari game fee by cash(I only prepaid cash for the standard plan) but he contacted other staff to provide payment link to me.
Finally I successfully paid with card. I’m really sorry to bother him and I really appreciate his support.
I also enjoyed interacting with Masai people. One of the biggest reasons I came here is to meet them. I’m so happy to see their life.
The starting point is in Nairobi. It took about 8.5 hours (it depends on the traffic conditions ) from my hotel to my camp in Masai Mara area. Picking up at the hotel at 6:30 am and arriving at the camp room at 2:52 pm and had lunch around 3 pm.
I’d recommend to bring some snacks or something to eat.
And please make sure to bring a hairdryer if you stay at Enchoro Wildlife Camp Masai Mara.
I also want to recommend you to bring extra bottles of water. They provided only 500ml bottles of water each day. I stayed 2 nights so I bought 1.5L * 3 bottles of water in Nairobi beforehand. It was really helpful.
And please bring tissue to pee outside at safari park and plastic bag to put them.
There were no mosquitoes. I didn’t see any of them for three days. I was so surprised. Maybe it’s because of dry and coldest season in Kenya. But I took Malaria tablets and used two types of spray for cloths and skin just in case. I didn’t take yellow fever vaccine. Local people also said there is no yellow fever anymore.
I really hope you will enjoy your journey.

Incredible 5 Day Kenya Safari – So Many Amazing Sightings
We did the 5 day / 4 night safari covering Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha and it was honestly one of the best trips we’ve ever done. Huge thanks to our guide Collins who was brilliant throughout the whole safari, really knowledgeable, friendly and incredible at spotting animals we would never have seen ourselves.
We saw an unbelievable amount of wildlife:
* lions including a whole pride moving beside our jeep
* elephants crossing directly in front of us
* cheetah
* giraffes running across the plains
* hippos and crocodiles
* hyenas, jackals, vultures, secretary bird, warthogs and countless zebras/gazelles/wildebeest
The absolute highlight was seeing a leopard up close, which we learned is actually a very rare sighting. Collins managed to spot it perfectly and gave us loads of time to watch and take photos. Definitely a moment we’ll never forget.
Each place felt different too:
* Maasai Mara for the classic safari experience and big cats
* Lake Nakuru for rhinos
* Lake Naivasha for the boat ride, hippos and Hell’s Gate biking/walking
The Maasai village visit was also really interesting and gave a good insight into local culture.
Overall the whole trip was very well organised, great value for everything included, and an experience we’d highly recommend to anyone visiting Kenya for the first time. Ask for Collins if you can, he made the trip even better.

Collins was friendly, kept us safe, and ensured we had an amazing trip.
Our safari trip was very enjoyable.
I had never been on safari before, and Collins ensured we saw the best sites of the most difficult-to-find animals.
He kept us very safe in each destination we visited, and whenever we needed to stop for a washroom or a shop he was happy to help.
