Trip of a Lifetime!
Overall rating
5/5

We did a one-week safari with Nashibe Tours. Amazing sightings of lions, giraffes, zebras and many more animals. Accommodations were authentic - like glamping in Canada. Felt safe, weather was good. Highly recommend Kenya for safari.

Could not have been better!
Overall rating
5/5

Our experience in Kenya was very short, but perfect. We arrived in Nairobi on a Wednesday and departed on a Friday evening. While here we stayed at the Amboseli Serena Safari Lodge which was very comfortable and had great food options, even for vegetarians. The beauty and wildlife in the park was simple amazing. We did not experience anything else in Kenya due to our time constraints.

A piece of heaven on earth with enhanced natural beauty. It is very mesmerising seeing all the natural beauty in Kenya especially the game parks and the beaches along the coast are unbeleivable with the best resorts along.

I had so much fun and really enjoyed all the animals and birds that Kenya had to offer. Had an amazing tour guide and it was just such a wonderful experience. I would say to go there at least once if you are able to.

Absolutely incredible trip. Stunning landscape, majestic animals, lovely people and vibe.
Overall rating
5/5

Kenya is a beautiful country with so much variety. We did a safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nukuru and Amboseli. Each park offered different landscapes and experiences and different animals to spot.
We also visited Diani beach which was true paradise and I can't fault. Stunning white sandy beach on a beautiful turquoise sea. Think Zanzibar but without the pricetag.
October was a great time to visit, we had amazing weather. Dry and really comfortable for the safari and beautiful and warm at the beach. The Masai mara was quite green and we saw a lot of baby animals which was lovely. We also amazingly saw the migration which I thought we were too late to see.
We visited a Masai village on our tour which was fascinating. I believe there are many other tribes and cultures to explore.
The people are absolutely delightful, so friendly and helpful. When you break down on the road for example (I don't think this is uncommon) Hakuna Matata, no worries, strangers will stop and help one another and everything gets sorted.
We never felt unsafe but were mostly in tourist areas. However, as with anywhere, as long as you have your wits about you and are sensible with your belongings it's probably fine.
We visited a children's home one morning which was a great experience to see culture and life outside the tourist spots and support the community. We took notebooks and pens which they love for school and some games and bubbles. A lot of these homes rely on donations so I felt it was very important to visit. Recommend to research and check with your hotels for good ones that don't exploit donations.
Overall I absolutely LOVED Kenya and whilst we said it was a once in a lifetime trip... I will 100% be going back sometime.

Life long dream realsed and it was worth it
Overall rating
5/5

Ever since I was a young boy I've wanted to visit Kenya for the wildlife. It may have taken some 60 years to live that dream but, boy, was it worth it. A lot of the thanks has to go to Laxa Trails Safaris for putting together a great safari.

The wildlife was just what that young boy dreamed it would be. It may have been 'low' season, so no vast herds of Wildebeest crossing the Mara into Kenya, but there is still plenty of animals to see, and the parks are quieter, so more chance of getting good unrestricted views of the big predators - Lion, Leopard and Cheetah.

The scenery, just spectacular. Big skies, open vista's. Everyone we met was open and friendly, we never felt threatened at any point, even when we took an unguided wander from one of the hotels we stayed in. The food was very good to excellent.

Is it perfect, No, there can be a lot of travel between sites and travel times are long due to the main roads being busy or on rough dirt roads. but I've been on worse. However, the rewards at the end of the journey are worth it. Will I go back? I have a feeling I will be back.
