A plethora of wildlife at the end of the dry season
We arrived at Lake Nakuru National Park on our Intrepid Travel safari bus and headed straight to the lalk, which was very, very low because it was at the very end of the dry season. The skies were overcast but it was dry!
Around the lake there was plenty of birdlife including a pair of elegant crested crowned srane. There were a variety of wading birds around the lake's edges including, ruff, little stint, greenshank, redshank and black-winged stilt as well as the ubiquitous Egyptian geese. In the bush good sightings of Rupeell's long-tailed starling were to be had.
Gazelles were plentiful and impala, Grants and Thompson's gazelle were to be seen around the park, as were olive baboons, black-backed jackal, warthog, African buffalo, Burchell's zebra and lion.
The highlight of the visit came at dusk just before we were leaving. We were treated to brief views of two blac rhinoceros before coming across a crash of 10 white rhinoceros.
A great trip to the National Park with great views of a variety of wildlife.

Review about Kenya by Neil Fawson
A wide variety of wildlife seen but in my safari group few were interested in birds preferring to chase after the "Big 5" What I saw/identified led to think that this would be a great birding destination

Good feedback and helpful advice.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Chobe Safari lodge and would recommend it to travellers.
The booking procedure and efficient email service from Falcon Safaris enabled us to plan our holiday easily and quickly. Thank you so much for your advice and assistance.

great safari
We did a self-drive tour around Kenia for 3 weeks. We rented a 4x4 car (Toyota RAV 4) from Bush Troop Safaris. It was very reasonably priced and in good condition. Apart from a flat tire on the trip, we did not experience any problem whatsoever.
We enjoyed the trip very much, the service by Bush Troop Safaris was very good.

Very reliable
We did a six day safari with Waymark and were very content. Our guide was helpful and always in time. Also Silas in the office always wrote back at once. At the end of the tour the owner Kennedy was eager to find out everything about the tour to improve. We appreciated this very much. The accomodation we got for a very fair price was excellent for example the Sopa Lodge in Nakuru.

Enjoyable trip with a reasonable and hard working company
Our family booked a holiday through All Seasons Safaris.
We really enjoyed the itinerary that they made for us, and they put in a lot of work before we committed to use their services.
The trip itself was fantastic - our driver Daniel was brilliant - and the travelling around the country was made as easy as possible.
Sure there were issues and changes that were beyond their control - we're talking about wild animals, that don't do as they're told!
The bottom line is that this company is friendly, honourable and hard working. They give very reasonable quotes for what is actually a very expensive business.

I made the inquiry about self catering cottages and they were back within no time. I was impressed.
I clearly noticed the element of professionalism, the hospitality industry is full of personnel without professional training and many companys relay on cheap labor. Keep it up and that is the next frontier in tourism, one stop shop where you get all the information for one's travel needs. In tourism time is of great value and your guy responded even when i thought he was not in the office, after hours.
Keep it up guys.

Gorilla safari to visit gorillas was memorable
At the end of last year, i visited in Uganda and then in Kenya and Rwanda. I like so much to visit East Africa for many years. My trip was organised by Christina a lady who was very positive and friendly. My self and my husband begun our trip on 5th November and booked a flight to Kigali in Rwanda where a nice man received us from the airport and took us to the lodge.
From this moment, we received a good communication about all the expectation of our safari and then we had our dinner and went to sleep. not much for a first day, we were tired from the flight.
The following day begins our safari and we visit many local shops in kigali and also the memorial of the genocide. Then we drive with the guide to Volcanoes park and we loved it here so much. We remained two nights at Villa Gorilla lodge, it is a small owner managed guest house just near to the gorillas. Then in the following days, we went into the forest to visit the gorillas two times. Very nice to keep this momory with us. The together with the guide crossed the border up to Uganda side to visit the community of the pygmies and they made good entertainment for us.
Then we travelled up to Queen Elizabeth park and discovered the tree climbing lions in the trees. It was wonderful. We stayed at a nice eco lodge, in Ishasha, at Ishasha Jungle Lodge. Also in our visit we visited Kibale forest to visit the chimpansee and also the nice birds in this forest. Then we went to Murshicon falls and it was aa good moment on the nile in a nice boat up to see the water fall.
We loved so much our holiday in these countries and later we flew to Kenya to visit many other parks of animals. We love East Africa and these nice people. This company organise our trip very well.

Not bad
Nancy introduced herself under my post on couchsurfing. She did a good job on communicating with customers. I like her, and her second hairstyle!
The accomodation in this tour is quite good, the hotel room next to Nakuru Lake is very clean, with wifi. The camp is not bad!! Especially after the Danakil Depression tour in Ehtiopia, I was so impressed by the condition in Kenya safari. Don't get me wrong, I am not saying Danakil depression isn't good, actually, it's so good, just not so touristy. Here in Nancy's tour, I like the accomodation, the food( very good), the company.
