Kenya has a unique balance between nature and civilization
Overall rating
5/5

The trip start with a bit of a hiccup that we arrived to Lake Nakuru on international tourism day which allow free access to all Kenyan National so the ride to our lodge from Nairobi airport was a lot longer then we have anticipated due to the traffic. We were able to sees some animals on the way but it felt more like a zoo than a national reserve. The purpose to visit Lake Nakura was to see the flamingos but there were very few and far to see which was a bit disappointing but again it is nature and we cannot control it. We departed from Lake Nakura to Masai Mara which was a 7 hours ride (getting out Lake Nakura took almost 2 hours) so I would recommend to fly as the drive was long and the 4x4 Land Cruiser is not very comfortable for long road trip. The highlight of the trip was obviously, Masai Mara, the amount of animals and the beautiful landscape was amazing. I have been to Kurger National Park in South Africa and would say that Masai Mara is bit better. Overall Benson, our tour operator was able to recover from the hiccup in the beginning and made a very memorable trip for us.

We used SafariBookings for a 3-day trip to Amboseli National Park and it was amazing! We saw so many animals, large herds of elephants, and even got a few glimpses of Mount Kilimanjaro. Reny Safaris was very accommodating and the stay at the Amboseli Lodge was perfect. We felt safe throughout our travels from Nairobi to Mombasa.

We had the most amazing experience in Kenya. We toured Tsavo West National Park. The people, the wildlife, the scenic beauty, and the hospitality were unparalleled. Totally worth it!

Fredrick was lovely, knowledgeable and passionate about Kenya. We learned so much and saw the Big 5 by day 2! My husband and I had a blast, we plan on booking and exploring more in years to come. If you are hesitant, just book a Kenya safari - you will not regret it!

Kenya is wild, free and beautiful. Hakuna Matata is taken seriously and the people we came across were all so kind and, helpful and cheerful. What a wonderful experience with Karibu Safaris! We will book with them again and we will be back soon!!

An amazing adventure.
Overall rating
5/5

Experienced many good surprises in Kenya. First, the Kenyan people are so wonderful…kind, gentle, civil, appreciative. Every American should be required to visit to learn how to treat others! Second, the animals….seeing in their natural habitats…amazing beauty. Third, the food…fresh and unprocessed, so delish!! We always felt safe.

Fantastic experience
Overall rating
4/5

Recently got back from a 2 week holiday in Kenya . We travelled around 6 national parks on a safari trip with Meektrail safaris followed by 4 lazy days at The Swahili beach hotel on Diani beach . All of the national parks offered something different and we thoroughly enjoyed everyone however the Masai Mara , Amboselli and Lake Naivasha were my personal favourites and the ones I would highly recommend . We did a lot of travelling about by road and really enjoyed seeing a different way of life . We found the Kenyan people to be very friendly . Nice to have the lazy days by the beach at the end of our trip o the lovely Diani beach . The only slight negative I had about the entire trip were that the beach boys and beggars in Diani became a bit tiresome at times making a nice simple walk on the beach or into town feel like hard work .

Excellent location for safari in dry season (September), especially using Lion Rider Safaris.
Overall rating
5/5

Best safari vacation ever during September dry season with Lion Rider Safaris and guide Mule Johnson made it exceptional. No bugs, great food, great facilities, huge number of animals. We did Mara Mara National Reserve, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli National Park, and Crescent Island. All great and different. Included tour of Masai village by king’s son and danced with them.
