Amazing experience!
My husband and I have just returned from the 5 day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha tour. This really was an incredible experience for us from start to finish.
We were picked up ans dropped off directly from where we were staying in Nairobi. Accomodation was as described. I felt comfortable and safe wherever we stayed.
We managed to see lots of animals and our tour guide James really went above and beyond to make sure we were at the best spots to see the animals.
We really have no complaints and would recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring this part of Kenya.
Thank you so much to the staff that supported us throughout our trip. James, Victor and Sera - you are brilliant!

Awesome Safari!
E-trip did a great job (Ben) answering all our questions about Safari, being realistic about the time of the year and guiding us appropriately. Ben will help customize the trip to what you want to do and your budget. Victor our guide was super friendly, patient and accommodating. He was cool with us dictating the pace of the days and also got us away from the crowds as much as he can. We also go to see all the Big 5. The accommodations Ben had booked (both the tent camp & Ngorongoro Wildlife Lodge) were awesome! Thank you Ben & Aurelie for arranging a wonderful Safari!

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Doug Greenberg
Masai Mara is an amazing place, and it has the advantage (I think) of remaining wet and green pretty much throughout the year. When my wife and I visited in September, we saw huge numbers of wildebeest, zebras, buffalo, and other ungulates, as well as many lions, giraffes, hippos, hyenas, cheetahs, leopards, and a large variety of birds. Although we visited several other Kenyan parks and also the highlights of northern Tanzania (Serengeti, Ngorongoro, Lake Manyara, and Tanagire), Masai Mara was our favorite destination. It is much smaller than the Serengeti to the south, but it still offers stunning wildlife viewing and a fantastic safari experience.

Review about Amboseli National Park by Doug Greenberg
Amboseli is located not far from Kilamanjaro, but the atmosphere is often very hazy so the mountain itself is barely visible. The park has good accommodations and features significant wildlife, including elephants, wildebeests, zebras, hyenas, and lots of other animals and birds. During the dry season (when we visited) the park overall has a parched appearance, but the wildlife tends to congregate around the remaining waterholes and the lake. Overall, it is a worthwhile destination for people wishing to see African wildlife.

Amazing wildlife experience right on the edge of the big city
My wife and I went on a ten-day safari to Kenya and northern Tanzania in September 2019. We visited the Masai Mara, Serengeti, Ngorongoro Crater, Lake Manyara, and Tanagire and Amboseli National Parks. The adventure involved a lot of sitting in safari vehicles, but the trip was amazing overall. Upon returning, I realized that perhaps the smartest thing we did in planning the journey was to start by visiting Nairobi National Park, just outside Nairobi itself. This is a small but amazing preserve in which we saw an impressive variety of wildlife and birds in just a few hours. It was the only place we saw a rhinoceros during the entire trip, and we also saw lions, zebras, impalas, hartebeest, vervet monkeys, baboons, giraffes, buffalo, warthogs, Ostriches, Little bee-eaters, White- bellied bustards, and a huge variety of other birds. There are no elephants in this park, but that is hardly a major issue in light of how many animals do live within the reserve. There was a "hippo pond" that comprised perhaps the highlight of the park. There we saw birds galore, including Malechite kingfisher, Sacred ibis, Blacksmith lapwing, Black-winged stilt, and African fish eagle, as well as a large monitor lizard and of course, hippos. The park is relatively small, and our driver gave us what seemed like a complete tour within a couple of hours.
The entrance to the park is a little intimidating, as there are armed guards and, as is typical of Nairobi generally, a high degree of security. Since we were with a professional guide, however, we were able to just hang back and let him take care of the payment, paperwork, and direction. Overall, the Nairobi National Park proved an amazing place to spend an afternoon, and I recommend it to anyone visiting Nairobi or beginning a safari in that city.

A very steep journey!!!
We went on Safari for 3 days with a guide ally. Strongly recommend. We were delighted with the journey. We saw all the animals, bathed in the waterfall. Thanks to Ally for a great Safari in Mikumi Park.

Absolutely Amazing
This trip was the first stop on our African Honeymoon and I would not have changed a thing. We had a fantastic time and loved all of the amazing and thoughtful details of our trip. We had THE MOST amazing guide, Abrie, who was incredibly knowledgeable and accommodating. He made our trip exceptional. I cannot express how much we loved our trip and how the planning was all taken care of. Thank you so much for such an amazing trip and honeymoon!

Review about Kenya by Doug Greenberg
Kenya is self-evidently one of the best destinations in Africa to see wildlife. There are many animals within the large preserves such as Masai Mara National Reserve and the several national parks, and there even is an urban gem of a national park just outside of Nairobi. There are many safari outfitters to choose from, and despite (or because of) the sometimes intimidating levels of security, the experience seems very safe for tourists. It is sad that so much of the country no longer features significant wildlife, but it is fortunate that there are so many game reserves and parks. With prudent prior planning, a visitor can enjoy an amazing safari in Kenya.
