Living in Canada, we really appreciated the cultural values of this awesome country, and felt extremely safe and comfortable, but of course all credit has to go to Odyssey Safaris for providing us with 2 awesome guides/drivers and very nice jeeps. The terrain is a little rough but hey, you are on the great Rift Valley and there is nothing to compare the scenery to it. Wildlife EVERYWHERE! It's too bad that people have got the wrong impression of Africa as a whole due to the Ebola crisis, but do your due diligence, last time I checked, there was not one case of Ebola in Kenya. Regarding the terrorists attacks, well, you might as well stay locked in your bedroom if you live in fear!! Certainly not encouraging you to go to Libya, Iraq, Syria or other NORTH AFRICAN countries, but terrorists attacks happen right in our back yard in Canada and the US, so, don't stop this from going on a Safari to Kenya, it has to be on everyone's bucket list.
Kenya offers a wide range of national parks, each with specific highlights
In September 2014 I visited the national parks (or game reserves) Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara, Amboseli, Tsave E and Tsavo W. Samburu is very dry, but offers quite different wildlife (eg giraffe gazelle or Grevy's zebra). Nakuru is nice for Flamingos, but in 2014 it rained too much so there were only few. Masai Mara is clearly the highlight, but also very crowded. Amboseli offers big herds of elephants and postcard shots with Mt Kili. Tsavo W is too bushy to spot wildlife. Tsavo E has big elephants.

The best wildlife safari experience of all time. Cool weather and amazing sceneries.
Kenya has so many national parks to choose from. From the world famous Masai Mara National Park to the Nairobi national park and the Tsavo national park. I loved the experience and the warmth of the people.
Gorgeous views of rolling hills and acacia trees, beautiful birds and an amazing array of wild animals. I've never seen anything like it!
I love to visit Africa , and the Masai Mara is the best place to go for wildlife.
excellent safaris
Kairi offered me unique safari to masai Mara which was best experience ever in my life, the driver was very knowledgeable along the journey i was able to learn many things which was beyond expectation, masai Mara is hub of big five within my stay for two nights i was able to enjoy myself at rhino tourist camp, they have qualified chef who prepared delicious food for us as well as luxury tented camps. its experience worth trying out.

Kenya is not limited to Masai Mara only!
Make sure you do not miss Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Park. Masai village visit is a must!!! Of course, Masai Mara is awesome!!!

On of a lifetimes experience in Kenya - safari, trekking, boattrip, relaxing and private visits!
My husband and I had a fabulous vacation with lots of great moments.
A mix between Kenya highlights - Masai Mara, Kibera, Karen Blixen, Mombasa, Naivasha, Malindi and Nairobi - and private visits because our daughters one year stay in Nairobi.
To explore the traditional turist spot was outrageous!
Must important was to get a understanding of the real Kenya - daily life and the population.
Lamech Magaki made it all come thrue!
He has an fantastic ability to "read our minds", we enjoyed and appreciate his humor and professional skills.
We felt safe with Lamech and because of him, we had the best vacation ever!
