Awesome world
First of all, I’d like to appreciate to David who is our driver. Thanks to him, we enjoyed our safe trip. And staff and leader of this company is also nice guys:)
I traveled at Masai Mara National Reserve, lake Nakuru and Amboseli National park. I’ve never seen such a awesome world ever. A lot of nature, animals!!
We could have nice experience there. Thank you all:)

The safari was everything we had hoped for, and a top highlight of our trip
The experience in Kenya was incredible. We saw all sorts of animals, had incredible animal encounters on the safaris, and saw such amazing natural beauty.

Such a beautiful country
The landscape is breathtaking and also are the animals. We saw lions, cheetahs, a leopard, elephants, giraffes, zebras, gnus, wildebeests and many more. Especially Amboseli park was great! But also Diani and Galu Beach are wonderful places on earth. The people in Kenya are all very nice. Only in Nairobe there were some fake beggars and of course you do not go to the slums. But we always felt safe.

Amazing wildlife but a very disorganized tour.
I visited Masai Mara during the great migration and it was an amazing experience. I have been to a lot of national parks in Africa including Kruger and the Serengeti and Masai Mara was the best experience. Although I may be overly influenced by the fact that this is the only time I have been able to see a leapord up close. The down side was our tour operator, Karibu Tours. They seemed to be completely disorganised and modified the tour to suit their needs over their clients. In addition our guide/driver was very poor at keeping us informed and answering our questions. The other sites we visited were not as interesting especially Lake Nakuru which is no longer visited by the millions of flamingoes it is famous for as the water level has risen and they have relocated to another lake where it is easier to feed.

Amazing!!
I & my husband visited Kenya in early Oct, it's our first anniversary and belated honeynoon :)
we booked our first Sarafi trip with Wildebeest, out guide is Daniel and he's awesome!!!! he knows a lot about the wildlife, and we learnt to be patient in front of the wild.
we met all big 5s and the migration, we met a lot of lovely safari animal and everything goes very well!!!
accommodation is in different styles in different days, we stayed in tents, courtyard, and the even alien huts!!
we do enjoy every minutes during our time in Kenya, and we will be there again very soon!!

Wild life land, brotherhood.
Wildlife and scenary leave speachless, amazing! The weather is perfect when i was there last october 2016, accomodations are okay according to the price i paid, i think food was not as amazing as i imagined, perhaps it was just tourists food and not local and authentic kenyan food. The transport of the safari i booked, they picked me up at my residence more than 1 hour later, and in the way out of Nairobi the vehicole that transported us stoped working 3 times, and 3 times the driver called for a nother vehicole and we had to changed the 3 times to another van, all this lost time made us arrived to the camp very late and we entered the Maasai Mara Park just for one hour and could not enjoy it because we were driving too fast. We haven't given any reasonable solution from the driver to compensate the lost time, so we prscticaly paid 3 days of entry to the Park and used only one, because the last day driver told us we need to leave early. In the way back, entering to Nairobi, the car stoped working again and we were about another 45 minutes waiting in the middle of the road to get the car fixed. It was evident that the vehicles that we used were not in good conditions for a safari tour.

Safari went beyond expectations in number of animals and expansive areas.
I particularly enjoyed the Rift Valley and certainly visiting the Massi tribe.

A first rate safari destination - excellent wildlife and great diversity in natural scenery
We (myself, wife and a 6 yr. old daughter) travelled to Kenya in August of this year. We booked our safari through Lucy from Serene East Africa for 3 different locations (Amboseli, Lake Naivasha and Masai Mara). Apart from our flights to/out of Kenya, all other logistics was managed by Lucy who we found to be extremely responsive and client focused. Rinus, our guide and driver was knowledgeable, punctual and most importantly, patient with us (considering that it was our first safari experience). The lodges were quite comfortable, food was great and service was first rate throughout. Other than the long drives between the 3 locations (note to self - next time, spend more time in safari and less time on road), the overall experience was positive. Will definitely recommend Serene East Africa and Lucy to my friends/family travelling to Kenya for safari experience.
This short review cannot do justice to the wildlife and natural beauty of Kenya. Its something that needs to be experienced. We had a great time in Amboseli and Masai Mara watching lions, leopards, cheetahs, elephants, hippos etc. not to mention. countless wildebeest and zebra all over the plains. No rhinos for us though - hopefully, next time!! Watching hippos, zebras and waterbucks graze in the lodge grounds in Lake Naivasha, right outside your window was a fantastic experience.
The Masai village tour suggested by Rinus in the end was, however, a bit disappointing. Most of it seemed stage-managed and the villagers were more keen on extracting a few more dollars than showcasing their culture.
Espectacular
Everything was wonderfull.
super recommended, wonderful and helpful people, amazing food, unique landscapes, luxury hotels, adventure after another, our guide is very good, traveling to Africa has been an experience unmatched anywhere else in the world where we will live what we have lived there.
Great safari, lots of wildlife!
Everything ran as planned. Kenneth from beacon Safaris picked us up at the Airport and we headed to Masai Mara.
We made a stop to take some photos of an amazing landscape on our way.
First day, Just before reaching the hotel we spotted the a Rhino and the leopard !
Accommodation at ashnil Camp was nice, nothing to complain, good food with very kind people.
Kenneth was an amazing guide, passionate, professional and very experienced. We spotted the big five at our second day.
I do recommend a Safari at Kenya.
