Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Brian Scott
Can't beat the Masai Mara for big game. Must see.
Only downside is the Masai village. Total scam. I would have paid money to hear someone tell a story, or show me how to make a bow. Something authentic. Sadly, they have been duped into believing the only thing they have to offer is tricks and entrapment designed to coerce you to buy worthless trinkets.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Brian Scott
My favorite. I'm not sure if it was the baboons, the rhinos, or the hyenas. Just the right mix.

Review about Hell's Gate National Park by Brian Scott
Being from Arizona, Hell's Gate felt like "home". The best part was I got out of the van and was able to walk around.

Not as good as Botswana
I was at the Croc Valley Camp at south Luangwa NP.
Good accomodation, most lousy Safari vehicles ever seen. Never felt safe or Comfortable.

A Kenyan Safari is a must on any bucket list.
The up side: You'll be face to face with as many big game animals as you can imagine. Strike that - it's unimaginable.
The down side: Long, uncomfortable, dusty van rides. You think you know potholes and traffic? Wrong!
Up side to the down side: Worth it!!
My biggest gripe is the constant barrage of worthless trinket hawkers.
Intangibles: meeting people on the trip is as good as the destination.
I havd a fantastic guide, Stanley - made all the difference.

Wildlife, warmth & minivans!
The views of the Rift valley with Zebras grazing by the roadside is a memory that will stay with me forever. And that was just the first day... Elephants, lions, giraffes, hippos, and numerous varieties of birds I had never even heard of were soon to come. The guides seemed to be able to answer any and every question we had about the animals, birds, insects and the traditional way of life in various regions of Kenya. And they were experienced with dealing with the challenges of driving around this huge country (even if a part or two had to be welded back onto their minivan). Despite the ongoing investment in infrastructure in the country, getting around is limited to hired vehicles with drivers, but the hours on the dirt tracks are rewarded with amazing beauty, and wonderful, friendly people! An amazing country that I hope to come back to soon
