Amazing!
We went to Kenya specifically for safari on the Masai Mara. I wouldn't recommend anyone spend time in Nairobi except to see the Elephant Orphanage and Giraffe Sanctuary. The selection of wildlife on the Mara wasout of this world, we had a fantastic driver who knew exactly where to go and we saw the big 5 all within the first 2 days. Good choice of accommodation also, we went mid-range and felt like it was luxury!

Our guide did a great job trying to make sure we saw all the animals possible.
The vehicle was nice for the long drives but also made seeing the animals really easy. We had a wonderful guide John and Patrick who helped point out animals and made sure we had everything we needed. The accommodations and food were fine, you get what you pay for. There were some changes to our accommodations that would have been nice to made aware of ahead of time. Since we were coming from a different country the communication could have been better but overall a good experience.

Awesome experience
All good except few areas of improvement.
1. Electricity should be available in the camp 24 hours
2. Trash can should be available all arround in the camp
3. Food quality can be improved

Awesome world
First of all, I’d like to appreciate to David who is our driver. Thanks to him, we enjoyed our safe trip. And staff and leader of this company is also nice guys:)
I traveled at Masai Mara National Reserve, lake Nakuru and Amboseli National park. I’ve never seen such a awesome world ever. A lot of nature, animals!!
We could have nice experience there. Thank you all:)

Amazing wildlife but a very disorganized tour.
I visited Masai Mara during the great migration and it was an amazing experience. I have been to a lot of national parks in Africa including Kruger and the Serengeti and Masai Mara was the best experience. Although I may be overly influenced by the fact that this is the only time I have been able to see a leapord up close. The down side was our tour operator, Karibu Tours. They seemed to be completely disorganised and modified the tour to suit their needs over their clients. In addition our guide/driver was very poor at keeping us informed and answering our questions. The other sites we visited were not as interesting especially Lake Nakuru which is no longer visited by the millions of flamingoes it is famous for as the water level has risen and they have relocated to another lake where it is easier to feed.

Safari went beyond expectations in number of animals and expansive areas.
I particularly enjoyed the Rift Valley and certainly visiting the Massi tribe.
A beautiful country with magnificent wildlife.
The wildlife was spectacular.
The quality of the accommodations was highly variable but all were clean.
The roads leading into masai marathon and samburu national parks were extremely bumpy and axle breaking. Very hard on the small van we were driving in.
My guide was a Masai and he was excellent. Very knowledgeable about the wild animals and where to find them.

Great Safari Experience
All in all my visit to Kenya was positive experience. Safari in Masai Mara was definitely a highlight of the trip. I did so called joined safari, which pretty much is a collection of different tour agencies packing their tourists into one car. Doing safari this way was the best decision of the trip - i met amazing people on the way and we had so much fun together. Highly recommended solution for solo travelers on a budget!
As far as a safari experience, Masai Mara provides it all. Wild life is incredible - from the big 5, through smaller animals and birds! Masai Mara is home to more than 500 species of birds according to official records.
I also had one extra day of safari to Lake Nakuru - not as spectacular as Masai Mara, but very pleasant.
