Our guide did a great job trying to make sure we saw all the animals possible.
Overall rating
4/5

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.

Amazing safari experience with African comfort zone safaris - 4 days tour to Masai Mara/ Lake Nakuru
Overall rating
5/5

1) The communication with tour guide Joshua via email and whatsapp was excellent
2) The driver / guide Isaac was very friendly. He was very punctual, helpful and very knowledgeable.
3) We spotted a lot of animals in Masai Mara - all the big 5 in Masai Mara. Our safari was very succesful.
4) The stay at Lenchada campsite was very good. The camp was very close to the gate. The chef and staff were very friendly. We told them that we were vegetarian and they made sure to cook several vegetarian food so that we had several options to choose from.
5) We had several game drives - Early morning, full day or evening game drive. They were all very well planned and we could see all the big 5 animals.
6) The travel to Lake Nakuru and Stay at Matfam resort was good. We could spot a lot of flamingos and white Rhine during the early morning game drive at Lake Nakuru.
7) Kenyan people were very humble, friendly and open to all the foreigners. Everyone spoke perfect English and language was absolutely NOT a barrier.
8) Best part of safari was Radio communication / networking within the drives in the park. If a Rhine or Leopard is spotted anywhere in the park, all the tourist vans rush to get a glimpse of the animal.
9) Overall a very good safari. I would highly recommend this trip for everyone.

I have been to Kenya for 6 days in Dec 2017, and safari for 3 days. I could see most of the animals and some scene of predation as well. There are lots of tourism and they are going for similar trip, but you can enjoy the wildlife very easily.

Amazing!
Overall rating
4/5

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!

Stunning landscape
Overall rating
5/5

Kenya is a beautiful and fascinating travel destination. Amboseli has plenty of wildlife worth your visit, despite it being a bit crowded with tourists. Tour was good overall, despite there being some unnecessary delays in the beginning. Driving and guide were excellent. Do visit if you can!

Awesome... must expierence one in your lifetime
Overall rating
4/5

We booked our 9 days safari from Kenya walking safaris ... the whole expierence was very professionally managed...Special thanks to Mr. Otineho from Kenya walking safaris...
We went to Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Naivasha... at all places the accommodations were very good... our tour Guide Mr. Benson was awesome... he was very attentive and took good care of us .... we were lucky to see the big 5 and many many more animals in their natural habitat ... the trip to Hells Gate National Park was a very different and would highly recommend it.
We would strongly recommend to book through Kenya Survivors waking Safari and ask for Mr. Benson as your tour guide.

So good I have done my "once in a lifetime" trip THREE times now!
Overall rating
5/5

Kenya has such variety of places to visit that you need to prioritize if you don't have a long time or a budget that allows you to fly from park to park. Most of the lodging out in the parks has seen a lot of traffic, so they can look a bit worn out, but the staff is always wonderful! Two of my visits were over Christmas/New Year's week and though there were definitely people out, it wasn't disruptive to the trip. Of course you will get loads of vans clustered together if you are lucky enough to spot a leopard and even lions draw a handful of vans. But other times we felt like the only van around!!

The best week of my life.
Overall rating
5/5

We saw the Big 5 and so much more--so many juvenile animals in the early summer! The weather was just lovely. We stayed at the Neptune Mara Rianta, and it beyond exceeded our expectations--BEST place to stay in the Mara. There was nothing we didn't immensely enjoy about our safari. The Maasai village visit and hot balloon ride were icing on the cake.
