Wonderful country, friendly people, Amazing landscapes

4/5

Wildlife in Masai Mara is rich, varied and spettacular; in land, the food is poor but substantial, while in the coast is better thanks the fishes; public trasportation is especially for local people and private transports are really expensive.

The most diverse country I ever been to

We made a safari with Kenya Safari Arcade and I totally recommend it. We had four perfect days, making a lot of gamedrives and spending the evening in two great lodges (Mara Sopa Lodge and Lake Nakuru Lodge).
We have seen so many animals (including the big 5).

It's amazing to see all the animals we saw in their real environment doing what they really do. It's sad, though that it is so crowded with jeeps everywhere, specially in Masai Mara.

There are not enough words to describe this fantastic experience. I have been to South-Africa many times and although I appreciate South-Africa a lot, Kenya and the places we visited (Amboseli, Nakuru, Masai Mara and lake Naivasha) are just better and more exciting. We went with Wildebeest Safaris and everything was organised into the smallest details. We had to worry about nothing (that's why you go on holiday isn't it? A couple of stress-free weeks) and our guide Geoffrey was always there to make sure things went smoothly without any hassle. For my next holiday I know already where I will go and with whom: Kenya and Wildebeest Safaris.

We had a fantastic week in Kenya, made better by Douglas our guide/driver whose passion for and deep understanding of nature made the trip all the more exciting and educational.
Would recommend highly!

First time in Kenya and first safari
Overall rating
5/5

To give some context to my review, I'm the type of person that usually likes to travel without anything scheduled and figure out what to do in the place. Since this was our first time in Africa, our first Safari and we were going to Kenya in the elections period, we've decided to at least book the Safari online. Finding a company was not an easy task (there are way too many agencies) and Simon was probably the person that better replied to all my questions and did it a timely manner (he was replying much faster than I was replying to his emails, sorry pal!).
When we got to Kenya, everything went smooth but we've figure out that the online companies are nothing more than agencies that deal with freelance drivers and include us in a 4x4 with people from other companies. This is not a bad thing, but for someone that travels on the cheap, you are more than ok to go to Kenya, find one driver and negotiate with him directly. For those of you who prefer to do it the "safer way", I clearly recommend Wildrace Safaris .
Kenya is without a doubt an amazing country to travel around and see a different scenario from anywhere we've been in the world. We had the opportunity to see the big 5 between Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. When in Amboseli, if you can see "Cloudymanjaro", please celebrate for me.
Our trip was lovely and Simon made sure we were always ok during the entire trip. We ad a few roadbumps along the Safari, but "This Is Africa". The important part is that we really enjoyed the country, the safari and everything we crossed paths with.

A great experience
Overall rating
4/5

Recently, I went to Kenya to take a vacation. The highlights are of course to see those wild animals in Africa.

I took a "6 days 5 nights Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli" with a company called "Africa Flash McTours & Travel". The manager, Mr. Peter Macharia, did a great job, looking after his customers, although there are circumstances that are a bit beyond his control.

A convincing example is that all the tour companies appear to have a system that tourists are told to hop on different buses at a set of places where they stop for lunch. This system initially confused me a lot as I thought that I would be always staying with one group, once a group has been arranged by a particular company prior to the beginning of your program. But, that was not the case. So, to me what Peter did most impressively was that one day, when he could not organize any other driver to pick me up from Nairobi to Amboseli, he sent in a car to just take me there. Of course, a single passenger would cost his company slightly more than letting his customers sharing with others. But, to me this is the convincing moment that his is a trustable manager.

I also want to mention is passing that a young driver in his own company, John, has done a great job! His English is excellent and he appeared to try to do his job properly, rather than trying to "cut corners".

Our 4 days safari trip was perfect! Everything was perfectly organized, we saw a lot of animals and our driver was very nice and always in contact with the other drivers in irder to find the best spots to see the animals. The accomodations were good and food as well. Maggie, our reference person from the agency, was helpful and nice since the beginning, we asked her a lot of questions via e-mail and whatsapp and she was so quick to answer and always very accomodating. The only suggestion we have to make this experience even more perfect can be to keep the same group of people from the beginning till the end (we changed group 3 times in 4 days) but as said this was not a big problem for us. Thanks to everyone for this amazing experience!
