Review about Nairobi National Park by Venkat Ramani
Close to the capital city Nairobi, it stretches several Kms all along the highway going to Amboseli NP.

Our unique possibility to see a rhino with her baby. Birds have been a little bit far to take good pictures.

Good budget safari experience for solo traveller to Masai Mara
I enjoyed a three nite stay at Lenchada camp just outside the Mara. It is basic accommodation with limited electrical power so bring a power bank with you. The food was hearty, and tasty, lots of cooked veggies which I loved. My two guides over the days were Evans and Moses, both were very good. My only complaint was the organization, timing for pickup which I reported to the owner. I will hire Jocky again, as a budget traveller Jocky provided exactly what I am looking for. I am an experienced safari person and have been in a number of budget places and Lenchada was fine. The most important thing to consider is clean, good food and excellent guides. Keep up the good work.

Very well organized and friendly operator
We very much enjoyed our trip. The lodges were all very nice, clean, comfortable, very friendly staff and good food - though some sligth deficits were noticed in the maintenance of the residences. Loose tabs etc. what could be easily avoidable with all the staff being around there. But these are tiny cosmetic things. We had different drivers and guides. Unfortunately the one doing the safari was the weakest of all. I would have wished for somebody with better english skills as well as more background information about Tanzania in general to learn a little about the country as well But overall - it was a breathtaking, memorable experience. Thank you!

Very nice and informing trips.
We took a tour to the spice farm and Stone town. It was a very good trip and i have learnd alot of new things about the spices and the town. It was super hot that day but we had a good car with air conditioning and water was available all the time.

This was a fascinating experience, both in terms of nature and in culture!
The trip to Masai Mara was incredible, filled with amazing animals and wondrous scenery, especially at sunrise. The guide was conscientious about keeping us in the vehicle for our safety, but there were times when he would go off the trails, which did raise some objections among our group. I took the five day tour, but I would recommend a three-day safari instead. The only real bad part of it was the camp, and really only when we tried to sleep--the mosquito nets were ineffective, and on the second night, the power was out (I use a CPAP when I sleep, so this was a real problem for me), and as a result, I did not sleep well until the third night when we got to stay in a hotel.
I and other members of our group found the meeting in the Masai tribe very interesting but a bit problematic: When we were offered a chance to visit their village, we were charged a fee, which they told us was to support the village. We accepted this, but then we were confronted with peddlers in the village and railroaded into making a donation to the school we visited. This can strike a western tourist as dishonest, and it may help avoid awkward confrontations if these things are also mentioned upfront instead of sprung on us at different stages of the visit.

Review about Hell's Gate National Park by Sean W Ryan
The scenery was incredible and very reminiscent of places near my home in the US, but due to illness and extra cost to do so, I did not get a chance to take a walk in the area.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Sean W Ryan
Beautiful scenery, especially at sunrise, but we were mobbed by peddlers at the gate. This, however, was quickly forgotten when we saw the amazing variety of animals there! It definitely exceeded my expectations!
