Masai Mara has to be seen by all once in your lifetime
On arrival in Nairobi, you really feel you have entered Africa. The people are very friendly and willing to help you in anyway.
Travel to and from the Masai Mara is, well lets just say, an adventure. Traffic is horrendous, roads are a poor state of repair and getting used to seeing lots of garbage at the side of the road takes a lot of getting used to.
However, once you reach the Masai Mara, you enter another world. The scenery is magnificent and with the help of a good guide, seeing the animals is beyond expectations.
If you cannot enjoy yourself here, you cannot enjoy yourself anywhere.
Beautiful people and exciting animals every day.
Even with all of the rain and flooding taking place in Kenya are experienced was amazing amazing. The people were beautiful and so willing to help and I could not believe all of the animals we were able to see every day.
Our trip was planned out in full detail by Esther.And our driver Duncan made everyday an adventure.We were able to visit three of the national parks and stayed in wonderful hotels along the way.
I cannot think of one thing. I would have changed other than maybe repairing a few pot holes in the roads, but it did not take away from our experience at all.

Bucket list visit
My Safari was 10 days through 4 National Parks. Samburu, Maasai Mara, Hells Gate and Amboseli.
All of the parks offered plenty of wildlife and I am happy to say we ticked all the boxes.
My driver was wonderful and managed to keep us out of trouble, there were huge rains in Kenya in April/May so some roads were either very tricky or closed.
We stayed in lodges and all of them were very good, wonderfully friendly staff and more than happy to help you out with anything. Apart from the lovely staff and my accommodation, I cannot praise highly enough the restaurants and kitchens. Every meal was fantastic and it is a wonder how they put together such lovely meals. I am a vegetarian and I never felt left out. Lots of vegetable dishes, salads, rice and curry style dishes.
A definite choice for those wanting to focus their holiday on animals, country and people.

Beautiful, Kind
Kenya is amazing for food, nightlight, shopping and safaris. The scenery in the Maasai Mara is unlike anything I could have ever dreamed. I felt so close to nature. Kenya is also very family friendly and well set up for tourism. It is affordable as well.

You can experience a diverse assortment of wildlife, cultures, and activities in Kenya.
The Kenyan people treat travelers very well. We were picked up on time, the drivers navigated very bumpy roads and some minor flooding with great care, and the customer service was excellent. In just three days, we spotted over 55 animals and birds! The rangers on the savannas kept things in order and protected the animals. We were pleased to visit a Maasai village and experience more of the culture at Bomas of Kenya in Nairobi. We also enjoyed the Hyrax Museum where we saw neandrothal and early homosapien burial sites. Kenya is a beautiful, green country. Be prepared to travel on many dirt roads and do a bit of "glamping". The coastal area of Mombasa reminded me of Hawaii and was very relaxing.

Great safari location
We took a 5 day safari with Antonio Safaris. We did 1 day at Amboseli which is a great place to see many of the animals. Day 2 we drove to Lake Navaisha and was able to see the hippos on a boat and walk among giraffe, zebras and more. The next 2 days was in Masai Mara which included a balloon ride which was very interesting to see the landscape and animals. Our final day was a visit to a village which we would not do again. We also saw the beautiful landscape of the Great Rift. This tour gave us the opportunity to see many different aspects of Kenya.

Kenya is amazing, we loved the safari, the sunset, the hospitality and the food, would go back again
We went to the Masai Mara for a day and a half, we saw a wide variety of wildlife, including elephant herds, a lion and lionesses, and plenty of giraffes, zebras and other grazers. One of the highlights was being lucky enough to witness a cheetah hunt a gazelle through the grasslands, a truly unique and memorable experience. The weather held up during the day so we were able to enjoy the safari experience through the pop-up roof jeep, although it did rain during the night. We had one day at Lake Nakuru and while we didn't see any flamingoes we saw a lone black rhinoceros in the distance, as well as other grazers and lions. We did not manage to see a white rhino or leopard during our 4 day safari tour. Walking amongst zebras and giraffes on Crescent Island was also an incredible experience.
An experience to remember lifelong!
I've stayed Kenya for 7 days. Nairobi was a nice city but there was not much attractions for tourist. However, my last 3 days in Masai Mara were amazing cause I went for a Safari. I stayed in an amazing hotel called Sopa Lodges which I highly recommend cause the food the view and the atmosphere was great. During the day in the safari area you get really tired, so a good place to stay at night and have rest to get back energy is needed. Wildlife in the safari was breathtaking and we have even seen leopard and cheetah although it's generally difficult to catch them. I a summary, I think every people in the world should experience this advanture at least once in their life. This was my second and it was ten times better than my first one in Rwanda.
