The Big Five can easily be seen and a self drive safari is very possible. Safari on your own pace and own viewing preferences eg wildlife or birds. The climate is amazing and the food the best! Good roads but expensive toll roads. Diversity of people, cultures and scenery in one country.

Handshake with the animal kingdom!

We visited Masai Mara National Reserve in November 2011 which is considered to be a rainy season there. And rainy it was! As soon as we checked in to Sentrim Mara Lodge, it started pouring. For a moment we felt that the game drive we had been dreaming of had been drained away, but soon the weather started to ease off. The heavily clouded atmosphere added a breathtaking spectacle in the overall atmosphere.

Masai Mara presented an uninterrupted expanse of grass and trees which is really a treat to watch. Roaming around in the wilderness with the animals is something which is beyond expression. It like being a candid observer of a wildlife routine!

We also took the Hot Air Balloon Safari, without which I feel the safari experience is half-done!

The safari is absolutely safe and the precautionary procedures are well observed. The lodges range from extraordinary to very disappointing depending on what you pay for. Our experience of Sentrim Mara Lodge was really an exciting one.

Masai Mara is famous for the Wildebeest and Zebra migration to Tanzania around Mara River. We were not expecting to observe this natural wonder in November, but we were extremely lucky that we were able to see the famous uninterrupted chain of wildebeest migrating in November, and that was something which has left deep memories to me and my family.

The safari drives were very good, with zebra, wildebeest, elephant, hippo, flamingo, topi, crowned crane, bateleur eagle, kori bustard, hyena, augur buzzard, water buffalo and a very fat lioness with her recent kill. We were also lucky enough to catch a rare glimpse of a black rhino.

Kenya is heavily dependent upon earning from Safari, so they really have concentrated their focus to develop the reserves and making a world class tourism experience

The abundance of wildlife, great scenery and good accommodation. It was extremely rare that we saw other safari jeeps.

Review about Kenya Expresso Tours and Safaris by Wajahat Mahmood
5/5

We took one night Safari at Maasai Mara with Balloon Safari after reading the reviews at Trip Advisor. KET really deserves to be #1 Safari management company! We really tasted the meaning of Customer Delight as we were offered many services without negotiations!

1. Firstly we had a handsome discount from Paul as we referred another family to KET.
2. Then we were offered a special game drive though we paid for one only, and eventually we had more than just two game drives.
3. Then the Guide name Lucky was really helpful and he even took us to Mara Triangle and Mara River which was not included in the package. Due to his efforts we could see the early Wildebeest migration from Kenya to Tanzania due to heavy rains there.
4. We were even taken to Keekorok Hotel and its lake which was not asked by us during the booking.
5. And above all, we were given free ride from Maasai Mara to Nairobi through Safarilink Cessna though we only paid for driving back for 4 hours to Nairobi. Paul even paid us the taxi fare which we had to pay from Nairobi Airport to our residence.
6. The Sentrim Lodge arranged by them was really very comfortable

I really recommend Kenya Expresso Tours and Safaris to all who want to have a real taste of African Safari adventure!

Pilanesberg in situated in an ancient volcanic caldera and is surrounded by beautiful hills covered in mixed grassland and woodland. The game drives never disappointed; we saw a diverse range of animals including rhinos, elephants, hyena, ostrich, lions, zebras, kudu, hippo and wildebeest, with many animals being seen multiple times. Food was great, as were the accommodations. Great range of birds too - although our game drives were pretty focused on large mammal viewing, perhaps if your group specifies an interest in birds the guides can accommodate your preferences (I did not try this). Otherwise, there is an underground viewing platform at a water source that was never crowded, and I birded alot using this site. We also were lucky enough to see a secretary bird out on a game drive, that was a treat!
