Easier & more enjoyable than expected!
We loved our trip here! The country was easier to get around and more developed than we expected leading to a very comfotable and relaxed experience. The people are all generally very warm and helpful and hospitable, and also speak English as a national language there! It was a very international travel destination and we met people from all over the world on this trip which was neat!
Very safe as well, never felt unsafe or worried when we were there, although we didn't venture out at night very much.
We split our time 50/50 between safari'ing and adventuring around the country and capital city of Nairobi and the other half relaxing in Diani beach. Its great that you can have adventure and relaxation in the same spot!

Definitely worth
All know that Masai Mara is the gem, no doubt. But I was positively surprised by Tsavo West with almost no tourist, how nice it was. Tsavo East instead was quite crowdy. I liked very much also birding in Naivasha lake, many rhinos in Nakuru and hundreds of elephants in Amboseli. I did 6 national parks and 2 reservations and I still can not get enough. Kenyan national parks are amazing.

A great country with fantastic wildlife and friendly and helpful people
We very much enjoyed our trip to Kenya, particularly the safari part where we saw many animals including lions, rhinos, elephants, cheetahs and two leopards. The hotel staff were helpful and friendly to the kids. The safari was well-organised and everything went to plan. Overall we had a great time.

Breathtaking views, amazing wildlife, and the most welcoming and engaging people.
We loved our safari with Spirit of Kenya. We had lots of questions up until the day we left, and they were responsive and accommodating to all of our needs. All the accommodations were perfect - and we even went with the most budget friendly. We were quite surprised at the quality. The food was great everywhere we went. Each camp had it's own personality which was quite nice. For the most part we had peace and seclusion and were able to engage with other people as little or as much as we wanted. We also spent a few days before and after in Nairobi. I was a little concerned because news has heightened alerts. But we felt completely safe the entire time. Ubers were quite easy to get and were very inexpensive. And everyone was able to help with directions, tours, and bookings - even when I needed help navigating the Kenya parks website to purchase tour tickets. Super patient and friendly. It was a wonderful trip of a lifetime.

Short but wonderful
Kameraz of Afrika were great to work with. Our time at & Beyond Kichwa Tembo Tented Camp was beyond our expectations. We didn't know until after we were there that we were in the most requested Tent 1. It was rustic luxury, was private and had a wonderful view.
We had our own driver, Sam, that was great. While the weather was very wet and limited some access to certain roads, he made sure that we were able to see a great variety of animals.

A very interesting trip to a wonderful country
We had a wonderful week. We started in Watamu with two days swimming and relaxing. Then we had a three days safari with Tanke Tour Safari. Our driver/ guide was really good, we saw a lot of animals. After that we returned to Watamu again. Another hotel this time and some days at the beach again before we returned back home.

Majestic and Magical
We choose to safari in Kenya based on some feedback from friends and family, and someone who had just visited the Masai Mara National Park. Their descriptions were so beautiful we looked into it. It was truly magnificent. We were able to fly direct from NY to Nairobi (a huge plus for us!) and experience five national parks. The landscape at each one was unique and different. We saw an abundance of the big 5 and more. The people, places we stayed, everyone we interacted with were just wonderful. We are telling everyone we know - it is a trip of a lifetime.

Kenya is amazing and will definitely remain in our hearts forever, we truly loved it
First of all we want to thank Sovereign Adventures for all the kindness they gave us and also for permitting us to do our safari by helping us to get our visa which was very difficult.
We had a fantastic time in Kenya with our guide Francis who was very helpful and knew everything about the trip, places , animals , countryside …. We will definitely come back to visit other places in Kenya and hopefully do it again with Sovereign Adventures and Francis if possible.
We went to Amboseli Park with beautiful views of the Kilimandjaro then 2 lakes (Nakuru and Naivasha) and we ended in Masai Mara Park. The hotels were very nice as well as the food. We saw all animals and plenty of them , this was a great experience. Everyone was so nice to us and Kenyan people were very welcoming. I do hope that we will be able to go back soon.
