Amazing Safari - clearly exceeded our expectations!!
Although our trip was a mix of spending some time in Nairobi and other time on the safari, the safari experience in Kenya was simply amazing! This was a combination of excellent wild-life viewing (far beyond the big 5), one heck of a driver/guide, and really nice luxury accommodation arrangements. This I'm saying after already experiencing safari in Tanzania. I would say the highlight of the safari was Masai Mara where we got to see out of this world scenes due to the wildebeest migration going on and the Mara river crossings. On top of it, the weather was perfect in the month of August. Yes, some places in Masai Mara were rather crowded, but not to the point of spoiling the wildlife viewing experience.
Most of all, full marks to Wildebeest Safaris (Noah the coordinator, and Andrew our amazing driver).

Wildly Awesome
This is my first ever visit to Kenya (Eastern Africa). Kenya is best destination for holidays due to the reason that it has beautiful climate, best wild life safaris, amazing landscape, breath taking lakes and birds centuries. Above all people are very friendly and disciplined. All type of food is easily available even Halal Food.
It has very beautiful wild national reserves.
There is a wide variety of wild lifes there to see, but if you can see them depends on your luck. Budget accommodation could be really basic, and please get prepared physically and emotionally. Hotel is pretty much the same as anywhere else. Food is really good, if you like spices or Indian inspired cuisine. Western food can always be found in hotels or lodges. Road to Maasai Mara is bad, bumpy and dusty, and to Amboseli is a disaster. In general I had a really good experience here.

A fantastic family vacation in a beautiful country.
We chose a great time to visit Kenya and the Masai Mara Reserve. The annual migration was in progress and thousands of animals to see. The weather was beautiful! Perfect for game drives at all hours. Our guide and driver was very knowledgeable of the animals and the parks we visited. He made sure we got the best locations for photo opportunities. We chose to experience staying in a guest camp and were very satisfied with the accommodations. We really enjoyed the whole experience as a family even more that we expected.
I've only saw a small part, and what I saw was breathtaking...

Amazing Kenya
We had a fantastic holiday in Kenya. Our tour operater Seven By Far did an excellent job. Well organised, and well executed. Our tour guide/ driver, Robin, was very knowledgable, kind and helpful.
Kenya is amazing. It exceeded our our expectations in its natural beauty and importantly in hospitality.
Overall, an unforgettable experience of lifetime

Kenya with African Sermon Safaris
We booked our trip with African Sermon Safaris with great expectations of a fabulous trip and African Sermon Safaris delivered! They seemed to go well beyond delivering the transportation and accommodations that they agreed to provide; they seemed to feel an obligation to deliver the experience. Even when a few small glitches in the itinerary developed (neither through any fault of African Sermon Safaris), they quickly developed a workaround that in some ways was even better than the original plan! Fabulous trip and no hesitation whatsoever in recommending Daniel and John (out driver) to anyone interested in the experience of a lifetime!

Amazing Experience - Migration at its Peak
Possibly a bucket list thing to do which far exceeds expectations. Seeing wild life at such a close range is something to truly experience - however, the whole trip adds its own flavor to it. Driving through the highways or the uncharted jungle ways, adventure and excitement are always lurking around the corner. This was helped by a beautiful cool weather and ever helpful guide from KWSS .
You get the sense of safari from the moment you step into the safari car at the airport - which is basic but comfortable considering we spent literally 6 days in it. The accommodation even in the forest areas were clean and safe.
A lot depends on the safari company and the guide is what we discovered - it's up to your guide to go that extra mile to make your experience the experience of a lifetime - ours did.
Kenya has variety of parks and reserves even if you miss something you are eager to see you will definitely find it in another park or reserve
