Magical scenery and lovely people
We loved our trip to Kenya. We landed in Mombasa, and took the train to Voi for the parks. The train station was modern (but it took some time to enter as there are multiple security checks with long lines), trains were very clean, comfortable and on time! The safari itself was amazing!! The animals, the scenery, the lovely weather, everything was on point. The hotels as well were great.
People were friendly, and very willing to help!
The food was good, with a lot of Indian influences.

Wonderful holiday
We did Masai Mara and Nairobi National Park, we spotted all the animals we expected to see. If you want to see them hunting, ideally you’d better be staying in a lodge inside the reserve so you start the game drive early in the morning.
We spent the rest of our time in Mombasa, snorkelling, dolphin watching, beach, water and air temps 33C°, no sharks or jelly fish. Just clear, safe and warm water.
The environment is safe and friendly, the food is good, we loved the street food, cheap and tasty. Uber and Bolt services are excellent and affordable.
Tropical fruits are generally very good when well chosen. Unfortunately watermelons are tasteless. We purchased them in 6 different places, all hopeless.
Madaraka train is an excellent service too.

A good place to visit.
We were there in Kenya for 06days covering Masai Mara, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli and Taita hills. The stay was good - some places lacked WiFi connectivity, some places the food was mediocre. The game drive was very interesting, wildlife encounters were exciting. The journey between different places was a bit stretchy and consumed half of the time we stayed in Kenya.
The people was kind and sociable. The Masai tribe were welcoming and all the hosts from different hotels were very accomodative.
Family Leisure Africa Safari tourism was our tourism provider. They organised the tour well and our tourist guide was knowledgeable.
Overall, a very satisfiable trip and would repeat it if the moment comes.
A dream come true!
Earlier this month we travelled to Kenya to fulfil our dream of going on safari and we were not disappointed. Paul from Africa Starpal Tours & Safaris was very friendly and helpful in managing to satisfy all our wishes, creating a personalized package for a dream holiday. We managed to visit all the big reserves namely Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, Amboseli National Park, Tsavo East National Park, Samburu National Reserve, Ol Pejeta Conservancy and of course Nairobi National Park. The scenery was fabulous and we saw a lot of animals. Our guides Morris (Eagle Eye - best guide ever) and Kizito, were incredibly knowledgeable and professional. It was an amazing trip and a wonderful time we spent together, travelling in this wonderful country called Kenya. We recommend Kenya and Africa Starpal Tours & Safaris for a dream holiday!

Safari
Unfortunately no view on mount Kilimandscharo, but contact with guide and organization was top.

Memorable Masai Mara
The community within the Masai Mara is welcoming. The wildlife is in plenty. And we were able to see four of the big five. There were also birds that are known in Uganda present in the Kenyan Mara. The hospitality is spot on. And the tour company, Axis Africa Safaris, made sure we experienced the same, authentic bush experience.

Beautiful Country - Lovely people - Eradicate Government Corruption
Enjoyed the parks! However, entry took 40 minutes of struggle to buy a ticket through the https://www.kws.go.ke/. Website kept erasing username and password. Visitors do NOT want to keep track of passwords. They want to enjoy vacation. Need to be able to just pay with credit card and there will be a record of the purchase for the government without all the hassle.

Incredible Experience!
I recently traveled to Nairobi for a work trip, and added on vacation so I could go on safari for the first time. I found Earthwings Safari through Safaribookings.com, and was extremely happy with my experience! I did 3 days in Masai Mara and a day in Lake Nakuru, and both were extremely beautiful. I saw plenty of animals and generally enjoyed being in Savannah and lake regions. Kenyans are extremely nice and helpful. Make no mistake, this is a developing country so public infrastructure is not always great, but if you’re used to going off the beaten path or accept that this isn’t going to always be a fully westernized experience, and embrace where you are, you will have the absolute best time. I highly recommend and if I have the chance to go back to Kenya again for work, I will be doing this all again!

Trip of a lifetime!
Wow!! We recently spent 4 days at the Karen Blixen Camp, North Mara Conservancy (booked with The Out of Africa Experience) & I can honestly say it blew our minds, the camp & staff were amazing, the accommodation exceptional & the safari experience was out of the world, we saw so many animals in their natural habitat, our guide was fantastic, clearly very experienced & was a pleasure to spend time with. We felt that every day was an unbelievable treat - thank you

Trip of a Lifetime
We booked a four day three night safari and it was a breath taking experience. Everything was meticulously arranged and it really took the guess work out of figuring out every detail of our trip. Our guides were very knowledgeable, experienced, and helpful. We learned so much and were thoroughly entertained. The time of year we chose to go was also perfect. We didn’t witnesss the great migration, but we able to avoid crowds and still manage to see all the animals on our checklist and more. Our guides with their laser sharp vision were able to spot animals seemingly miles away that we couldn’t tell were there until we were closer. The hot air balloon portion of our tour was amazing. It felt like a very special experience being able to tour the lands from a different point of view and be treated to a wonderful breakfast on the savanna. What a view! Bonifus was our favorite guide and wealth of knowledge knew no bounds. 10/10 recommend and would absolutely do again.
