Very beautiful, a place to see wild animals from a very close distance.
Wild like is so close to you that you might wonder if it is "wild". Nevertheless is very exicintg and interesting.

Perfect place to safely enjoy wildlife
We had the opportunity to book a safari with Bushthorns Adventure and it was the best decision we could have made. We got a package including Lake Nakuru, Aberdare National Park and Olpejeta Natural Reserve. Guides were knowledgeable, kind and caring, always taking our security as number one priority and driving us to the best spots to see the astonishing wildlife. We got to see almost every animal we wanted! Totally recommend it.

Not my best experience but nice to see big animals in real life
Tsavo east and west + Amboseli / Lansdcapes were nice but very dry in many places so no animals as it was desertic.
Compare to my souvenir 13 years ago, (only 2 nights in Nairobi) this new experience to let my kids discover Kenya was really poor. Only possible to see one lion's family from closeby. A lot of driving with no animals in the parks.
Kenyan people see you as only m a way to make money and give you pay same price as in Europe. They really abuse on the price they want you to pay and when you see the difference in fixed price shops... When I spend a lot of money in my travel all inclusive, I don't expect to spend so much extra money when I go to Africa... 50Ksh a coffee in one place and 250Ksh at the next stop for the same instant coffee. And also, as a single woman, not feeling safe outside the hotels or without the guide in the safari.
+ The tour organizer made a big story and refused to let my 3 days safari continue because 1/3rd of the amount was still to pay after 1 day safari. Like if I will fly away for the safari... We were late starting the safari and he really made me feel like a thief, breaking my holiday feeling.
It could be a beautiful place to visit but I did not like how European are threaten. We are not all stupid tourists full of money...

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.

A wonderful place is worthy re-visiting once more
It was an amazing experience while joined 3 days tour to Maasai Mera National reserved with Axis Africa Safari team. The vast plain and fruitful wildlife animal species moved around this beautiful place which I enjoyed this trip a lot. The scenes and atmosphere is quick diversified than Asia's that re-caped my memories of "Lion King" of movie session. To visit Maasai vibe village also is another new experience that realized the traditional life style and modern new technique conflicted each other in their daily life and habitat area . This also made Maasai vibe struggling to find out a new way out with mobilization.
However, this is a pleasant journey being worth taking time to see around and experienced place. Highly recommended.
