Active and vibrant
The safari tour is too expensive and the animals in the nature reserve are not that exciting. The road is dirty and too many people on the way are selling stuff in a forceful way.

Nice place for safari but stay away from beaches!
We had a problem with one of our transfers from Mombasa to Nairobi (was supposed to be by first cass train and it was paid 10 months in advance to Silas) but the day before we had to buy a flight ticket by ourselves just to avoid to join a 10 hour bus! By the way Silas recognized us some money back.
The rest of the organization was just perfect!
We really appreciate the animals and the experience, the structures we stayed, we only think that kenyan people are not a very welcoming (I am not saying they are not polite!!) ….. most of them are just doing their job to get money without any kind of care or love…. we experienced some (just 4/5) of them which really liked their job, and it was very clear: they were just adorable!!!

the very bad thing about the coastline: ladies and gentlemen get ready to be constantly bothered by people for every kind of thing… the just try to make you pay for something, also to walk behind you just to make sure their friends won’t bother you while walking on the beach!The beach in Watamu was full of plastic, it was everywhere!!!!! That’s unacceptable!
Outside of the hotel (we stayed in Watamu and Diani Beach) is just a mess: people driving like crazy, roads are destroyed, people constantly try to approach you for some money or trying to sell something, very very disappointing and stressful.
Our vacation was ruined by people who live there, the same people that prefer bother tourists than find a job and try to make their country a welcoming destination!
We got back with one big certain: WE WILL NOT BE BACK IN KENYA ANYMORE!

Good, people are nice
But it would be better to get more prepared,see more reviews and ask someone profesional before you choose the safari company

Important to be Aware
The people selling you the tour (agency) and driver running the actual tour (operator) are rarely the same company so:
- agencies do a great job presenting you a professional itinerary , however…
- communication is lacking between the agency and the operator
- different parties in the jeep may have different itineraries
- the driver is stuck having to reset customer expectations during the tour based on his schedule, which is frustrating
Best way to look out for yourself… have a detailed conversation with the driver, before leaving, on what you expect to happen and when. Where you are staying each night. List all activities and who is paying for each.
During my tour, logistics and schedules were a nightmare. However, all game drives and activities were run well. It was just frustrating having to figure things out during the tour.

The Safari was beyond my expectations and spectacular
Kenya is a wonderful country to visit for a safari.

Where do the money go
When in Kenya, you cannot help but wonder where do all the money go? You’re paying quite a price for a Safari, but everything around is dirty, poor and badly maintained.

Very much garbage (plastic and other rubbish) next to the roads
The safaris are certainly not animal-friendly. For example, 25 safari jeeps around one single leopard. Of course, I chose this myself, and I'm complicit.
The people in Kenya are generally very friendly. I enjoyed my trip to Kenya.

Good but just visit the Masai Mara
Email contact was very quick until it came to confirming they had received by deposit. It took 2 weeks and countless emails on my end to get confirmation that my trip was going ahead. I paid the deposit from a US bank account in USD (as requested) and there was a transaction feed that I had to cover upon arrival.
I requested a lift from the airport and my driver was an hour late. I would recommend booking an uber (~£5 opposed to $15)
The day at the Masai Mara was incredible, the wildlife unmatched. Make sure you carefully check you are happy with your itinerary (although it will change) as most days involve 6+ hrs of travel with only 2 hrs of game viewing. I was a solo traveler and everyone I met was very welcoming and from a variety of age ranges and backgrounds. Because I was by myself and the tours vary in days (some are 3, 6 and 7), I was continuously swapped between cars and companies. It was quite exhausting

continuously meeting new people just for one day.The food was good. Every day it is rice, lentils and chicken.
When back in Nairobi there was a clear hierarchy of guest that had to be dropped off in a specific order. Despite our first guest drop off at 12:30, I was dropped off at 3:45.
I would recommend just visiting the Masai Mara as the rest of the week is basically just driving to a new location to spend a few hrs and then going to your hotel.
