We had a lovely time in thisvery beautiful country. The people there are very friendly, accommodating and mostly kind.
The land is great and dotted with different ethnic groups with different culture. Loved the fact that most of them still hold their cultural beliefs with high esteem, the Maasai and Samburu being the most notable.
The landscape is amazing, from lakes to mountains, great valleys to high mountains, grasslands to forests.
There plenty of animals to see in the many parks in Kenya, our favorites being the Mt. Kenya region, Samburu and Maasai mara.

This is probably the most beautiful country I have been to so far, highly recommended for wildlife safari.

For the sheer excitement of not know what you will come across along the next track. The birding experience is also beyond belief.

Kenya, along with Tanzania and to a lesser extend Uganda, offer the best safari experience on the continent.

Everything we'd expected it to be.

We loved visiting Kenya, but having visited other countries in East Africa now I can say that I prefer other countries more. I like to get away from large crowds of tourists and the "popular" places where people go, and Kenya in my mind falls into that category. That being said, the wildlife and scenic beauty is stunning, and you see why so many people choose to go here on their safaris. We spent most of our time at the Masai Mara National Park and stayed at Governors Camp. What a stunning location, and hospitable accommodation. The staff was extremely helpful (especially at chasing off baboons that liked to congregate around my tent). The food was great, but I remember there being an infestation of beetles in the dining tent, which caused us to have to eat our soup with our hands over our bowls. All part of the experience I guess!

Kenya was an excellent safari destination for our honeymoon. With lots of animals, diverse landscapes in the different parks and accomodations available for all levels.

In addition to its vast expanses of protected land, Kenya is full of wonderfully nice people. We departed for our safari from Nairobi which has a major airport and were very pleased with our experience from beginning to end. We were treated like kings and accommodated in every way. All of the locations we went to on our safari were excellent and had opportunities to see lots of wildlife and stay in interesting, beautiful hotel accommodations.
Kenya has everything you could want in a safari, though another popular destination is Tanzania, where you will find ngorogoro crater and the serengeti. In my mind, they are equal. They have all the major wildlife and amazing people. I would highly recommend a safari trip!

Tons of opportunities for wildlife viewing, even just driving down the highway.
