Mesmerising
Beautiful country with lovely people. Organised very late but got an outstanding help through Splendid Vacations’ Alice who tailored our tip perfectly. We stayed the first night in Nairobi to refresh and re-energise after the long flight to be ready for our safari adventure next day 7am. Wanted to visit Amboseli but Hotels were fully booked so diverted to Ol Pejeta as first stop for 2 nights. We saw many animals - highly recommended and during night safari saw several Lions in action. Next was Lake Naivasha -again the island trekking excursion was a great suggestion that is worth the day. Next day we went to Hell’s Gate National Park enjoying a cycling tour, beautiful landscape and helpful ranger that explained us everything. Lake Nakuru was the next stop and although the flamingos were not too many, spotted most of the savannah’s animals. Last part of trip we headed to Masai Mara, stunning scenery and vast plains. Saw wildebeests about to take on the Mara river but unfortunately their changed their mind - good excuse to go back for a third time. Again plenty of wildlife spotted. Last but not least to end the safari part headed to Carnivore in Nairobi. Joshua, our driver and guide was amazing, planning ahead each movement and giving insights all the time. Second part of trip was Diani beach which we reached by train, it takes 5 hours (Nairobi-Ukunda takes about 1 hour by plane which we took on the way back) but scenery is magnificent going through Tsavo park, coaches in first class give you more space and there is a restaurant on board as well. Diani beach is a jewel not to be missed. Pristine white beaches with plenty of activities to choose from. We found people to be very friendly wherever we went, and not being our first trip to Kenya we can only recommend it. Never felt unsafe and always welcome! Thank you Kenya, Alice and Joshua for making it such a great trip.

Fantastic safari destination which should be more welcoming at the airport and SGR train station
Taita Hills Conservancy is exceptionally well maintained and has a low density of safari vehicles. Travelling by train in 1st Class was very comfortable but I wish we had been informed in advance of the extensive list of prohibited items, which includes Duty Free, and the corrupt security guards that look for bribes. Nairobi is great for shopping, but Kenya does not offer VAT Refund for tourists; venturing outside the malls for a couple of specialty items was very stressful. The hotels we stayed in were excellent and had a large variety of food options.

Pletntiful Wildlife
We visited only Masai Mara for 2 days of game drives (1 evening +1 full day), 3 people in a private tour in a Land Cruiser. Saw a lot of elephants, giraffes, lions 3 times, cheetahs, hyenas, zebras, hundreds of wildebeest, etc. Very good wildlife viewing. There was quite a few other cars, but could still see the animals well. All in all, very satisfied.

Amazing Kenya during migration!
Our group of 12 had an amazing time in Kenya, abundance of wildlife during this time. Kameraz of Afrika were very responsive and all the accommodations were perfect! Just a couple of things I would suggest, 1. Visit the lake where the flamingos have migrated to (not many in Nakuru now). 2. Masai Mara village was a wonderful experience but dampened by them overcharging for the items in their bazaar, don’t shop here for souvenirs!!
Thank you Kameraz for a memorable trip! It would have been even better if we had a better land cruiser where the windows and doors didn’t rattle 😅
Carol, Brian, Robinson and James, Thank you for this wonderful trip, you were all super helpful throughout!

A place makes me makes me want to visit again
I still could not believe it that I brought my flight tickets two weeks after got back from Kenya. Why? Just wish had more time to explore more and enjoy the wild and safari game, also the beautiful and cozy camp sites. This is my first trip ever to Africa, and it totally opens a new door of new world to see for me. The landscape and wild life are amazing, and what's even better is that I can enjoy the wild but with well developed accommodations in the wild. kenya is the perfect start point for someone who never been to African and experienced Safari, because it's not that huge in distance between park, even driving are tolerable, and the accommodations business are mature with more options, also most importantly, high density of wild life in Masai Mara, and unique Amboseli to see the wild life with beautiful Mt. Kilimanjaro in the background.

Big cats were incredible but never got to witness the great migration.
If you want to see the big cats Maasai Mara is the place to be. Got to view many animals and our guide was wonderful. It was nice to be able to go on Safari for the whole day.
