Kenya is a real land of suprises. Most people don't know about the Marine Reserve just off Bamburi beach. A must if you snorkel!

Comfortable bare-bones group-travel through Kenya
The wildlife flourished in 2007, enough rain and lots of sun. We got to see many (bigger) animals such as the Big 5. Accommodations were mostly basic and thus fine. Travel by truck with nice horse-shoe shaped seat plan, so you could talk to everyone all the time. Great fun! The guide was very friendly, as the cook was good. The guide knew a lot (had been to Kenya couple of times). We got to photograph a lot of animals and do some nice hikings. Also time to visit villages, towns and enjoy where ever we came.
Amazing and magic experience. Best place visited ever...
The most incredible trip to a very special part of this world. It is an encounter with the basics of humanity and the magical beauty of nature...
We have learned that people can be happy with very little material things and that definitily we have too much of everything and most of the time it is hard to reach peace of mind and joy.
Also realised that animals in their habitat behave better than human beings....
The most frightening experience is driving in Kenya roads...

Fantastic scenery, great wildlife - the only reason it is not 5-star is that sometimes, particularly in the more popular parks, things are bit crowded.

Kenya National Parks are unlike anything I have ever seen.
If you want a great safari experience which is more than just wildlife, head to Kenya. A great part of the experience is getting to know your guide or driver and relaxing at a camp during the day. I highly recommend staying in one place for a few days to see more than just the big animals. By staying in one place, you begin seeing more deeply the animals and the people who live in the area. There is something for everyone; the big animals, birds, flowers, scenery and interaction with people. Accommodations are often simple and food often new but that is why one goes, not to have all of what is at home, but to try new things.

Just amazing. So green and lush. In Nairobi very moderate temperatures, lots to do.
Kenya is a wonderful country to enjoy wildlife
I was amazed at the quantity and variation in Wildlife
What an amazing place, the volume of wildlife far exceeded all expectation. We flew to Nairobi, picked and and driven to near Lake Nakuru, 2 nights here before heading to Masai Mara for 4 nights. Then drive back to Nairobi and a night there before flying home in the morning.
Lake Nakuru was exceptional for the flamingoes (among many other birds and animals) and is well worth a days visit. The noise of the birds has to be experienced.
Then to Masai Mara which was just amazing, the volume of wildlife was incredible. I could not believe how many animals there were. We did a sunrise balloon ride which was expensive but so worth it. Breakfast on the plains when we landed was just surreal with all the wildlife around. Lions, Cheetah, Elephant, Zebra, Wilder beast, Impala, Gazelle, Buffalo, Giraffe, Hyena, Crocodiles, Ostrich, Vulture, Hippo, Jackal and many more seen :) Camp site was amazing, private site with just 12 travelers + guides ... very luxurious with en suite! Picnic a few hundred feet from the crocodiles ... another next to the Hippos.
Local guides were used in fairly small vehicles who were very knowledgeable and patient when we wanted to stop for photography. If you are interested my photos are here http://www.flickr.com/photos/bobonacus/sets/72157625299783106/

why because, it has everything you would want in a safari, animals, birds, safari, location, scenery, one of the seven wonders of the world the massai mara migration, the food is the best I've ever tasted esp the nyama choma!!!!!
It was a great experience. Everyone spoke English, even the Massai tribesmen in their cow-dung huts. The wildlife was simply phenomenal in its variety and profusion. The great wildebeest migration started early the year we were there, and we witnessed that. There were wildebeest from horizon to horizon. Amazing!
