Constantly amazed by the amount of wildlife around!
Overall rating
5/5

We had an excellent trip! 5 days in Nairobi followed by a 4 day 3 night safari. We toured during the short rainy season/ end of high season and the resorts were amazing! There were hardly any guests at the resorts and our tour operator upgraded our Lake Nakura hotel due to the fact that prices had come down. We saw every animal except a wildebeest including all the cats! Highly recommend the hot air balloon flight over the Masai Mara and try not to schedule it the same day you leave for the airport. Getting up at 4 AM then a 7 hour drive to catch your flight home makes for an extremely long day. All in all a great vacation.

Magical scenery and lovely people
Overall rating
5/5

We loved our trip to Kenya. We landed in Mombasa, and took the train to Voi for the parks. The train station was modern (but it took some time to enter as there are multiple security checks with long lines), trains were very clean, comfortable and on time! The safari itself was amazing!! The animals, the scenery, the lovely weather, everything was on point. The hotels as well were great.
People were friendly, and very willing to help!
The food was good, with a lot of Indian influences.

Wonderful holiday
Overall rating
5/5

We did Masai Mara and Nairobi National Park, we spotted all the animals we expected to see. If you want to see them hunting, ideally you’d better be staying in a lodge inside the reserve so you start the game drive early in the morning.
We spent the rest of our time in Mombasa, snorkelling, dolphin watching, beach, water and air temps 33C°, no sharks or jelly fish. Just clear, safe and warm water.
The environment is safe and friendly, the food is good, we loved the street food, cheap and tasty. Uber and Bolt services are excellent and affordable.
Tropical fruits are generally very good when well chosen. Unfortunately watermelons are tasteless. We purchased them in 6 different places, all hopeless.
Madaraka train is an excellent service too.

A good place to visit.
Overall rating
4/5

We were there in Kenya for 06days covering Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Taita hills. The stay was good - some places lacked WiFi connectivity, some places the food was mediocre. The game drive was very interesting, wildlife encounters were exciting. The journey between different places was a bit stretchy and consumed half of the time we stayed in Kenya.
The people was kind and sociable. The Masai tribe were welcoming and all the hosts from different hotels were very accomodative.
Family Leisure Africa Safari tourism was our tourism provider. They organised the tour well and our tourist guide was knowledgeable.
Overall, a very satisfiable trip and would repeat it if the moment comes.

A dream come true!
Overall rating
5/5

Earlier this month we travelled to Kenya to fulfil our dream of going on safari and we were not disappointed. Paul from Africa Starpal Tours & Safaris was very friendly and helpful in managing to satisfy all our wishes, creating a personalized package for a dream holiday. We managed to visit all the big reserves namely Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo East National Park, Samburu National Reserve, Ol Pejeta Conservancy and of course Nairobi National Park. The scenery was fabulous and we saw a lot of animals. Our guides Morris (Eagle Eye - best guide ever) and Kizito, were incredibly knowledgeable and professional. It was an amazing trip and a wonderful time we spent together, travelling in this wonderful country called Kenya. We recommend Kenya and Africa Starpal Tours & Safaris for a dream holiday!

Memorable Masai Mara
Overall rating
5/5

The community within the Masai Mara is welcoming. The wildlife is in plenty. And we were able to see four of the big five. There were also birds that are known in Uganda present in the Kenyan Mara. The hospitality is spot on. And the tour company, Axis Africa Safaris, made sure we experienced the same, authentic bush experience.

Beautiful Country - Lovely people - Eradicate Government Corruption
Overall rating
4/5

Enjoyed the parks! However, entry took 40 minutes of struggle to buy a ticket through the https://www.kws.go.ke/. Website kept erasing username and password. Visitors do NOT want to keep track of passwords. They want to enjoy vacation. Need to be able to just pay with credit card and there will be a record of the purchase for the government without all the hassle.
