Once in a lifetime experience
We really enjoyed our two weeks in Kenya, which included a safari, some camping, time by the coast and some time in Nairobi.
The wildlife and landscapes are incredible - this was our first safari so not sure how it compares to other countries, but we saw everything we wanted to see. The weather was generally pleasant, a bit cooler with a few more showers than we were expecting but nice to not be sweltering.
The vast majority of people we spoke to were very friendly and customer service is generally very good. We weren't always sure about tipping but a small gesture of appreciation always seemed to go down well.
Visitors should be prepared to be approached by sales people in popular destinations like the beach - they were always very friendly and never aggressive, but some were very persistent which did taint our experience a bit.
We were in Nairobi during the protests, and other than road closures we weren't too affected. It's not the kind of city you can generally walk around very easily, so as long as you take sensible precautions it isn't a particularly unsafe place to be.

Surreal. The beauty and the wildlife but most of all the people will leave you stunned.
The wildlife was spectacular and the way the viewing were arranged by Mararumi safaris was nothing short of exceptional. Our driver and guide, Robin, was amazing. He was so well versed on where to find the animals and birds and was accommodating of all our requests. The places we stayed at amazing and it was a delight to enjoy international cuisines each day, along with the local fare.
The trip to Masai village was a cherry on the top. The way villagers live, how they create/make fire with just wood and stone, their way of life and the way they build the home, was a learning experience for all of us.

I loved the rhino with her baby, the Rothschild giraffes and I was very fortunate to see a leopard.

A very impressive reserve hosting the big five
Our group spent one day with two four wheel drive rovers (10 seats plus chauffeur) and the Krüger Park guides. For me it was the first time in Afrika and I had high hopes for this outing. Guide taught us the basics and was very knowledgeable about the wild life and flora. Our bus missed the leopard but we saw ample of wildlife, including hippos, crocodiles, a pride of lions, several troops of elephants, giraffes, four types of antilopes some baboons and hyenas, warthogs, wildebeest, water Buffalos and some birds. Lunch was also well arranged. A beautiful day

Review about Amboseli National Park by Hannah
So many elephants! And a manageable size for a 1-2 day safari. We camped and the campsite had good facilities and felt safe.

Welcoming, experienced and above and beyond experience :)
Loyce was the most amazing tour operator. Everything was taken care of, we were stress free and able to fully immerse ourself in our safari experience. Loyce is extremely knowledgeable and such a genuine lady which really makes the experience a 10/10. I would 100% book with loyce again and encourage anyone else to as well. We had a culturally rich experience from the food, accommodation, and the safari itself! We were able to maximise our time in the safari grounds and had an experienced driver who also had endless knowledge of all the animals we spotted.

Omar is an exceptional guide! Goes above and beyond to make sure you are having an amazing time!
An unforgettable trip! Could not recommend this company enough. Omar, our guide, went above and beyond every single day to make sure we were having a great experience. He taught us a whole lot about the parks and animals, he made us laugh, and we became one big jeep family!
