Trip of a Lifetime
We booked a four day three night safari and it was a breath taking experience. Everything was meticulously arranged and it really took the guess work out of figuring out every detail of our trip. Our guides were very knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful. We learned so much and were thoroughly entertained. The time of year we chose to go was also perfect. We didn’t witnesss the great migration, but we able to avoid crowds and still manage to see all the animals on our checklist and more. Our guides with their laser sharp vision were able to spot animals seemingly miles away that we couldn’t tell were there until we were closer. The hot air balloon portion of our tour was amazing. It felt like a very special experience being able to tour the lands from a different point of view and be treated to a wonderful breakfast on the savanna. What a view! Bonifus was our favorite guide and wealth of knowledge knew no bounds. 10/10 recommend and would absolutely do again.

Trip of a lifetime!
Wow!! We recently spent 4 days at the Karen Blixen Camp, North Mara Conservancy (booked with The Out of Africa Experience) & I can honestly say it blew our minds, the camp & staff were amazing, the accommodation exceptional & the safari experience was out of the world, we saw so many animals in their natural habitat, our guide was fantastic, clearly very experienced & was a pleasure to spend time with. We felt that every day was an unbelievable treat - thank you

Incredible Experience!
I recently traveled to Nairobi for a work trip, and added on vacation so I could go on safari for the first time. I found Earthwings Safari through Safaribookings.com, and was extremely happy with my experience! I did 3 days in Masai Mara and a day in Lake Nakuru, and both were extremely beautiful. I saw plenty of animals and generally enjoyed being in Savannah and lake regions. Kenyans are extremely nice and helpful. Make no mistake, this is a developing country so public infrastructure is not always great, but if you’re used to going off the beaten path or accept that this isn’t going to always be a fully westernized experience, and embrace where you are, you will have the absolute best time. I highly recommend and if I have the chance to go back to Kenya again for work, I will be doing this all again!

Memorable Masai Mara
The community within the Masai Mara is welcoming. The wildlife is in plenty. And we were able to see four of the big five. There were also birds that are known in Uganda present in the Kenyan Mara. The hospitality is spot on. And the tour company, Axis Africa Safaris, made sure we experienced the same, authentic bush experience.
A dream come true!
Earlier this month we travelled to Kenya to fulfil our dream of going on safari and we were not disappointed. Paul from Africa Starpal Tours & Safaris was very friendly and helpful in managing to satisfy all our wishes, creating a personalized package for a dream holiday. We managed to visit all the big reserves namely Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo East National Park, Samburu National Reserve, Ol Pejeta Conservancy and of course Nairobi National Park. The scenery was fabulous and we saw a lot of animals. Our guides Morris (Eagle Eye - best guide ever) and Kizito, were incredibly knowledgeable and professional. It was an amazing trip and a wonderful time we spent together, travelling in this wonderful country called Kenya. We recommend Kenya and Africa Starpal Tours & Safaris for a dream holiday!

Wonderful holiday
We did Masai Mara and Nairobi National Park, we spotted all the animals we expected to see. If you want to see them hunting, ideally you’d better be staying in a lodge inside the reserve so you start the game drive early in the morning.
We spent the rest of our time in Mombasa, snorkelling, dolphin watching, beach, water and air temps 33C°, no sharks or jelly fish. Just clear, safe and warm water.
The environment is safe and friendly, the food is good, we loved the street food, cheap and tasty. Uber and Bolt services are excellent and affordable.
Tropical fruits are generally very good when well chosen. Unfortunately watermelons are tasteless. We purchased them in 6 different places, all hopeless.
Madaraka train is an excellent service too.

Magical scenery and lovely people
We loved our trip to Kenya. We landed in Mombasa, and took the train to Voi for the parks. The train station was modern (but it took some time to enter as there are multiple security checks with long lines), trains were very clean, comfortable and on time! The safari itself was amazing!! The animals, the scenery, the lovely weather, everything was on point. The hotels as well were great.
People were friendly, and very willing to help!
The food was good, with a lot of Indian influences.

Constantly amazed by the amount of wildlife around!
We had an excellent trip! 5 days in Nairobi followed by a 4 day 3 night safari. We toured during the short rainy season/ end of high season and the resorts were amazing! There were hardly any guests at the resorts and our tour operator upgraded our Lake Nakura hotel due to the fact that prices had come down. We saw every animal except a wildebeest including all the cats! Highly recommend the hot air balloon flight over the Masai Mara and try not to schedule it the same day you leave for the airport. Getting up at 4 AM then a 7 hour drive to catch your flight home makes for an extremely long day. All in all a great vacation.
