The journey of a lifetime
This was a lifetime dream and we could finally go to Kenya and see all the animals in the wild!Our guide Castro went above and beyond to make sure we saw all the big 5 plus cheetah, vultures,eagles, flamingos, mongoose, and many others.
He was friendly and happy to give us fun facts about the animals.
All the places we visited were amazing just like everywhere we ate and slept.

Amazing wildlife
It was amazing to see wildlife from so close. The nature is beutiful and each park is different. In some you can come close to animals. Diani beach has whote sand and blue sea. One of the best adventures I had

Amazing safari
We had an amazing safari experience - we had the chance to see a lot of animals, like lions, giraffes, elephants and others. I fully recommend Kenya as a safari destination. The accommodations and the food were great.

Great experience we do not want to miss
We travelled as a family of 5 persons (children are all grown up 15+). Hotel was located in Diani Beach, the Neptun Palm Beach Hotel.
Here it was easy to make a good decision using eg. holiday check to find the perfect hotel.
More risk was the booking of the safari (game drive) to Tsavo East. Fortunately I found safaribookings.com. With the help of this site I was able to find a local safari company providing a perfect service. If you plan a safari take care to book a lodge with a water hole a near as possible. In our case we booked the VOI lodge and we really loved it. The waterhole is only meters away from pool/restaurant and you can enjoy wildlife while relaxing at the pool or having a drink at the bar.
If you plan to visit other national parks from Diani Beach area, also take into account that there is a train available to Nairobi. It is a fast, cheap and exciting option instead of a many hours drive or expensive flight.

Amazing experience and all animals seen!
Really great experience! We booked 6 days safari and it was worth it! The best park is definitely Masai Mara, we spent 2 days there and have seen almost all big five! Also really good was Ambosseli park with a lot of elephants. The other game drive to Nakuru is also recommend: we saw rhinos and hundred flamingos. All together it was an excellent trip!

A pleasant surprise
It had always been a dream of ours to go on a safari and I do not regret one minute for choosing Kenya as our destination. People are extremely friendly, and they have always made us feel very welcome. We travelled both to the centre as well as south and each park had different characteristics for us to enjoy.

Amazing wildlife
We were a group of 5 colleagues who had some spare time at the end of our trip and decided we wanted to do a safari in the Masai Mara. I found Hyrax safaris and they were extremely responsive over what’s app which was really handy due to the time difference. Hyrax were good at sorting out our different room configurations and found us great quality accomodation at Sarova Mara. I would recommend the hotel, we had a room looking out over the reserve. We opted to be driven to the Mara (about 6 hours), I’m glad we did because we saw so much on the journey and there were plenty of stops to stretch your legs. Our guide Aaron was excellent, really knowledgeable and was also flexible about what times we did our drives. I enjoyed doing a full days drive as we saw so much but some of my colleagues found a whole day game drive a bit too much. I’m sure you’d be able to split it into two of you wanted. I would recommend using Hyrax safaris for your safari booking.

Wonderful wildlife and very warm people
We visited Kenya on our honeymoon and took part on a 5 day safari (2 nights in the Masai Mara, 1 night in Lake Nakuru and 1 night in Amboseli). Our guide, Felix, was fantastic. He was extremely knowledgeable and made our trip unforgettable.
The variety of wildlife we saw far exceeded our expectations, we couldn’t believe our luck at seeing lions, elephants, zebra etc within a metre of our car.
The people of Kenya are so welcoming and full of joy.

Great safari destination for hospitality,abundant wildlife and scenic landscapes.
Our tour operator, Wayfairer Travel,put together a great twin centre safari in Kenya provided by Safari Bookings. Firstly flying in to Samburu and then on to the Masai Mara.The wildlife encounters and sightings in both were to say the least spectacular. The contrasting landscapes were exceptional as was the hospitality and service in the lodges.Kenya has been a favourite of ours and this trip surpassed previous visits.The terrain on the game drives can at times be a little challenging as expected,but that is all part the safari experience.Thank you Kenya and thank you Wayfairer.
