I thought it was great but have nothing to compare it to. I've never been anywhere else in Africa. I suppose there may be other starting point cities better than Nairobi.

Kenya is the original safari destination. Although in some ways it is more rugged than some of its counterparts in southern africa, it provides a unique cultural experience and vibe from the mixture of central african & bantu culture, with its swahili influence from the coastal regions. Furthermore, from decades of experience in the tourism industry & a popular safari destination from since British occupation, Kenya has developed an enormous range of options for Safari from basic to premium luxury. Knowledgeable guides are excited to showcase the natural beauty of the country as long as you get a reputable one. Don't skimp on the guide, they are one of the most important aspects of your safari experience. Karibu Kenya!

I would definitely rate Kenya as a top Safari destination as the Mara has so much to offer such as an abundance of wildlife and the ability to get up close, picturesque landscapes, excellent accommodation options, fantastic food and guides who hold the Mara in their heart and love what they do. Another great thing about the Mara is that they have rangers out after dark to protect the animals from poachers, great work.

Kenya is a wonderful safari destination. The vast plains offer excellent animal sighting, without having to go very close to disturb the animals themselves. Also, the wild life is not extremely shy, hence we get good time to photograph them in their natural behavior. We had cheetahs and lions walking past our safari vehicle, sometimes even brushing against them. I dont know of any other place this can happen.
The roads connecting the various parks are very well maintained. Traveling between the parks is good experience, getting to see a new culture and new cities. We had very good food options as well. Various cultures merge here and hence, we get a nice array of food options.
The people are extremely polite and are very friendly! Kenya is a must visit safari destination indeed!

Kenya is by far my one of the best tourist destination I undertook, which can reflect by the sense that I end up visiting it twice. Almost everything about the country right from its people to places impressed me. Humble, welcoming and honest are few of the attributes.
