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...

Great for a first time family safari combined with other activities
We had a great family holiday with our 2 teenagers. Loved the experience of travelling on road through Kenyan towns with our guide David who worked tirelessly to ensure we had a good time and could fit in as much game viewing as possible. The van (which we had for ourselves only) was well maintained with comfy seats which helps on the very bumpy approach road to Masai Mara. David even washed the windows in the evening to ensure we had good viewing the next day. A really nice touch! Accomodations good (although if returning I would try to stay inside Mara not on the outside, but with 4 of us we were working to a budget) , and the company promptly changed it where it did not match the description in our intenary. Our cook Moses produced good meals and breakfast was much more ample than expected . Fresh eggs or pancakes (or both) every day! We loved Lake Nakuru, so scenic, we hadn't been sure whether to include this but so glad we did. We saw lions, and a rhino cross right in front of us, aswell as heaps of beautiful birds, and monkeys in the trees. Masai Mara a little busy at that time of year, but wow , we saw a pride of 12 lions along with cheetah munching its recent conquest. We also saw zebra and wilderbeest crossing the Mara river. We loved Elsamere at Lake Naivasha, go there if you can, to stay or just for a visit and tea on the lawn. Wonderful service and beautiful spot. We also enjoyed Green Crater lake walk and lunch right on the very peaceful lake at the end. Great value for money with this company and we would definitely use them again if we return on safari.

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
beautiful experience
I had a good price/value experience and had a lot of "care" from the person I have contacted by email. The safari was amazing the accommodation quite wild as I chose a cheap level. I would definitely recommend!

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.
