Everything I hoped it would be
I travelled to Kenya and did a 4 day safari on a budget. I really can't see how my animal experiences were in any way different to those spending many thousands of pounds. The Masai Mara is beautiful. Sometimes the immense open landscape just takes your breath away. I was worried that perhaps it might feel like a large zoo, but no, these animals are living their normal lives, the only caveat to that is that of course they have become fairly accustomed to safari tour trucks... meaning they don't run away. You do get to see them in their natural habitats.
Nairobi itself isn't immensely attractive but its nice enough. Whatever extra tour or additional visit you require... there will be someone who can arrange it. All standards of accommodation are available. Even the budget elements are completely fine and dare I say, possibly add to the adventure.

It was like the garden of Eden
This has been a trip in the making prior to Covid so I wondered if it would ever eventuate. To say I was excited to reach Kenya was a big understatement!
I had such high expectations for my trip but was still completely blown away.
Kenya is so beautiful and to see the Maasai Mara was incredible. We saw so much wildlife. We loved our stay at Mara Eden and will always dream of going back there.
Jane our tour operator was so lovely to work with and so accommodating. Making sure we safely got to our destinations coming all the way from Africa.
This trip will be in heart forever
Peaceful
I visited Kenya with my newly married wife. And it really helped me rejuvenate and feel refreshed. The food , air and nature really helps if you have a hectic life and live in the city.

Developing country with excellent nature
Fantastic country with a lot of things to do and see. Weather was excellent, service at hotel as well as on all trips we enroled was professional. Wide variety of cultures, so different from the European ones makes the travelling experiences even stronger. Highly recommended to visit Kenya for those, who has never been there before.

Unforgettable journey and I love it!
My travel agent guide is excellent, and his name is Kikitu from the Jockytours. He has a good personality, and he is very humorous and experienced. He took us to see so many as animals. The scenery along the way was beautiful and stunning, and it was an unforgettable trip! I really enjoy it!

Spectacular wildlife and varied scenery
We had a great time. 7 days Safari and it was so worth it. We went to Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. All of them totally different and spectacular in their own right.
Chilling at the coast afterwards was just the thing after the busy Safari and early mornings.

Absolutely Amazing!
We absolutely loved our time in Kenya, it is such a friendly, welcoming country.
Our trip to the Masai Mara was a highlight, we saw the big five and thoroughly enjoyed the game drives. A truly magical experience!

Kenya impressed in many ways
I visited Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru Park and Ol Pejeta with my daughter. The trip in Kenia was organized by Amazing Memories Safaris exactly according to our wishes. We used a Land Rover with a driver, which way of getting around is our recommendation for the comfortable and effective way to quickly get an overall impression of Kenya's national parks and see "The Big Five".
In Masai Mara, we saw the most different four-legged - from the car and from the air. The view from the hot air balloon to sunrise, nature and animals was definitely worth the experience. The weather was pleasant for Scandinavians. A few drops of rain on a couple of evenings didn't hurt, quite the opposite. Our excellent hotel was located inside the park, nicely hidden in nature. We were more than satisfied.
I think in Nakuro we saw what man has done on Earth. Yes, there were (still or already again) pelicans, flamingos and of course all the other animals already seen, but there was also an overfilled lake, I guess as a result of climate change. The view was by no means uplifting.
Also in Ol Pejeta we saw what we absolutely wanted, rhinos - the last ones. And, of course, all the others like monkeys, buffaloes, giraffes, zebras... Very close. From a very distance we saw Mount Kenya. All very impressive - in many respects.
We received, experienced and saw what we had come for and on top of that also food for thought. Overall, the trip wasn't the cheapest, but it was worth every penny.

Kenya is an amazing country.
Had a great time in Kenya, specifically the Maasai Mara and Amboseli Park. The people are friendly, the scenery is incredible and the wildlife viewing was beyond my expectations. Would definitely recommend to anyone interested in visiting Africa.
