Breathtaking experience to be experienced by all.
I absolutely loved everything about my visit to Kenya. The food, atmosphere, people, culture, and animals were amazing. I felt welcomed in every part of the country. The safari was life altering. To be up close to the animals in their habitat was nerve wracking and exhilarating. I went on safari with Tall Maasai Safari. Initially I had concerns because of the faulty communication however in the end it all worked out. My guide Patrick was amazing and I would definitely recommend asking for him as a guide. He was informative and knew where to find all the animals. I saw almost all of the big five except a rhino. We saw lions stalking, attacking, eating and mating! WOW! I am definitely returning to Kenya.

Kenya is a diverse and vibrant country in East Africa, known for its stunning landscapes, rich wild
We were on safari in Kenya, known for its incredible landscapes, rich wildlife and vibrant culture. We spent 2 days in the Masai Mara National Reserve, one of the most famous reserves in the world. It is famous for the annual Great Migration and we were able to see wildebeest, zebra, gazelle and tons of bird species. We were also lucky enough to see four of the Big Five: lions, rhinos, elephants and buffalo.
We also enjoyed 2 days in Amboseli National Park, right at the foot of Mount Kilimanjaro. It is famous for its large herds of elephants and a wide variety of birds. We also visited Lake Naivasha, which is home to a large population of hippos, and saw them relaxing in the water.
Our tour operator, Camptrek Safaris, was fantastic. They were super professional from the moment we contacted them to request a custom tour and throughout our stay in Kenya, they made our trip amazing.

Amazing trip in Tsavo
The tour organised through Safari bookings, with Ultimate Africa Expeditions, has been perfect. Super organisation, very kind and efficient driver, great places. The second hotel (Zoi) was not that great (food very average, bed uncomfortable, wifi basically non existent) but the water pond worth the place. We even saw a fight between a lioness and a hippo. Impressive.
I can only recommend the tour and both teams, Safari bookings and ultimate Africa Expeditions, very professional.
Attention, the Masai village should remain an option, it is not something I enjoyed at all, far too commercial and new groups every 30 minutes.

Kenya has incredible wildlife, very nice people and a good climate
We went on a 5-days safari in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. We got to sees all the "Big 5" and lots of other animals. Incredible to sit on the terrace by the lodge outside Masai Mara, and watch a hippo in the water. The temperature was nice, not too hot, and quite chilly in the evening and morning, so bring a jacket. We really loved the walking safari on Crescent Island, it was nice with a boat trip and lovely to walk among all the animals. Nice to meet and learn about the Masai people, impressive to sees their traditional lifestyle and cultural expressions.
We loved the safari with Spirit of Kenya!

Sensational
A trip like no other! We stayed at giraffe manor (unreal experience - a must for a giraffe lover) then headed out to the maasai mara for 5 days where we stayed and safari'd with & Beyond Kichwa Tembo, which also exceeded expectations. Don't hesitate, just go! You won't be disappointed.

A fascinating beauty where time slows down
We did 6 day safari with Meektrails in June. Our trip started from Amboseli National Park (2 days), then Lake Nakuru (1 day), and finally Maasai Mara (2 days). Every second was magical. We witnessed a completely different environment, vegetation, climate, and animals every day. We witnessed incredible things at moments we least expected. It was a trip beyond what we imagined. It was great to see animals in their natural habitat and witness their communication with each other. We need more than a week to visit this beautiful country, I hope we can come again. Finally, thanks to our tour operator. Thanks to Meektrails Safaris, everything was amazing. Before the trip, Eliud took care of everything closely and planned the tour according to our requests. He was great with communication. Our guide Lukas smells the animals, as they say :) He was a friendly, calm, expert, understanding, and wonderful guide. This trip wouldn't have been as wonderful without them.

Do not miss travel destination
Safari in Kenya was an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience. My friend and I went on a 4 day safari from Nairobi to Masai Mara and Nakuru. Masai Mara is a huge African savannah full of wildlife. On our first day in the park we saw 4 of the Big 5 within just a few hours. Nakuru is a smaller park centered around a lake home to over 300 species of bird. It is also one of the best places in the world to see rhinos. We saw several black and white rhinos during our day in the park. In between both parks we also made a stopover at a different lake where we took a boat ride to see hippos in the water and take a walking safari on the lake's peninsula. The walking safari was one of my favorite moments from the trip. We were within 15 ft of zebra and giraffes. I highly recommend not to miss the incredible wildlife this destination has to offer.

People are friendly and gracious in Kenya
We were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi (Kozi Suites, which is an acceptable place to sleep), and had a safari to Amboseli, Naivasha, Lake Nakura, and Masai Mara. The parks are beautiful and well maintained. Animals were plentiful (except leopards, we were not able to find any) and they did not seem to mind the Land Rovers. The flamingos which are usually at Lake Nakura have migrated to another lake, so we did not see too many.
There are many safari companies to choose from, we chose well, Ramja Safaris. Our guide was excellent and had private education as well as over 20 years experience, he knew what he was doing and where all the best picture taking spots were. The lodges were excellent and the staff were gracious. Remember to tip as this is a poor country and a tip goes a long way. .
