An unforgettable experience I would recommend to everyone!
During our trip, every interaction with locals was positive and we felt welcome and safe no matter where we were in Kenya. My family and I were picked up at our hotel in Nairobi promptly at 7:00 am and taken to the busy downtown area where, after a bit of waiting, we transferred to another vehicle and driver to take us to Masai Mara for a safari. On the way to Masai Mara, we stopped at the Great Rift Valley and were treated to stunning views of the "Cradle of Humanity". During our safari, we experienced spectacular sights of wildlife--including four of the big five! Our safari lodge stay was top notch. Also, we learned about the unique and fascinating customs of the Masai with a visit to a traditional Manyatta (village). We then travelled to the southeast coast (Mombasa and Diani), where we explored the rich cuisine, crafts and history of Kenya's Swahili culture. After Mombasa, we went back to the vibrant and growing capital, Nairobi--where we visited markets and museums, while experiencing more of Kenya's delicious cuisine!
The entire trip was unforgettable for me and my family. I would highly recommend Kenya as a travel destination to anyone who asks!

Beautiful country with abundant wildlife and birds.
We went to 5 destinations. Ol Pejeta is notable for rhinos, Lake Nakuru for flamingos and giraffes, Lake Naivasha for birds, Amboseli for elephants and Masai Mara for everything (but especially lions). We recommend the balloon ride in Masai Mara. Our driver (Jason of Image Travel) was extremely knowledgeable about wildlife and made our trip enjoyable.

Wonderful welcoming people and amazing wildlife viewing.
My family and I had the privilege of staying in the tents at Kichwa Tempo at Masai Mara. Our guide Stephen was knowledgeable and was a lot of fun to spend time with out looking for wildlife. We went during the migration and saw all of the big five plus many other amazing animals. We also stayed at the Jahazi House on Lamu Island and had an incredible stay. The house is fully staffed and has a world class chef. Overall this trip was one of the best experiences may family has ever had. Love Kenya ❤️

Kenya, safari and beach with Reny Safari: nature at its best
This was our first safari, and it was an amazing experience.
We are a family of 4 (adults and teenagers) We spent 2 weeks in Kenya, of which 12 days Safari and 3 days at the beach. The balance was perfect.
Reny Safaris - Japheth - helped us to select the itinerary and lodges, which is not easy because the parcs are so big and drive time umpredictable. We visited Masai Mara - our preferred - Lake Nakuru, Lake Navaisha, Tsavo East (spectacular). Every drive had its own charm, there is not one I would take out of the list.
Our driver George was the unexpected « plus » who made the trip really special. He helped us to spot the big 5, appreciate nature, disconnect from our usual lifestyle.
Finally, we spent 3 days in Diani beach. The resort was well equiped, spatious, and direct access to the most beautiful beach . White sand, turquoise water and very few people.
We finished the trip having the feeling that this was an extraordinary experience.

Outstanding beauty and wonderful people
We loved the experience. the park was exciting, the wildlife impressive, and our guide outstanding. The best part of the trip was meeting the people, particularly the Masai people, and learning about their lives and culture. Would highly recommend this experience to anyone and everyone.

Wonderful experience in a beautiful country
We took our grandchildren to Kenya repeating a journey we took over thirty years ago, and it was wonderful to see more animals than we did before. Our experience in Nakuro, Naivasha and Masai Mara was beyond our expectations seeing all the "big five" on numerous occasions as well as all the other species imaginable. Particularly memorable was the dawn balloon safari, which I would recommend anyone to try it if they can. Our travel company Across the Wild Safaris arranged everything to perfection, and made lifelong memories for our grandchildren. Without exception we were made so welcome in Kenya and would encourage everyone to come for themselves to experience the majestic and stunning surroundings, the hospitality in the lodges, but above all the amazing wildlife !

Wide ranging wild life in large numbers throughout the country marred by inadequate infrastructure.
My Blue Mountain Safari 5 day tour was very much as advertised, both positively and negatively and overall quite enjoyable.
Positively, I can say that during the 5 days we say virtually all the animals it had indicated we likely would, often in large numbers and at times close up. In the parks the animals showed almost no fear of man as we stayed within the vehicles as directed by guide/driver and they have been conditioned not to be concerned about them since they have not been hunted. In our limited interaction with the Keyan service workers before, during and after the safari they were always polite and generally quite helpful once the issue was clearly understood.
Negatively, I had chosen a budget level of accommodations and at times it showed more than expected. Also, the Masai Mara tribal visit and vendors were overtly always seeking to profit of one's interest in their tribal / cultural traditions so limiting the quality of the interaction and to a degree diminishing their dignity and limiting what could be learned from them directly.
