A simply outstanding safari experience
This was our first safari. André and the Spirit of Kenya safari team provided a great experience for our family. All transfers went as planned. Our hosts were very welcoming and extremely professional through the entire visit. Lodging at Amani Mara was superb and our safari driver was very knowledgeable and pleasant as well. Although our safari was only 3 days, we really enjoyed seeing so much wildlife up close from a Landcruiser. It was quite a sight to witness two lion prides feasting after their kills, along with many other animals large and small. Hippos, giraffes, cheetah, zebras, etc. January was not wildebeast migration season, but there was still plenty to see. The birding was also excellent. I highly recommend a safari to Maasai Mara in Kenya.

amazing and stunning experience
Kenya is a wonderful country to be visited: good food, good people and a unique nature show . Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, Lake naivasha and Masai Mara are amazing natural parks where you can enjoy wildlife a stunning. I was with BIg Mac SAfari Africa and they were top safari tour operator

Very welcoming and friendly
The parks we visited offered a good opportunity to see practically all wild animals, included the Big five. We were very like in this sense, and finally the experience has been really remarkable.
All was good and above all we didn't meet any problem. We are satisfied!

It exceeded my expectations
Despite reading that December might not be the best month, we have had a great time.
The weather has been great, it only rained a couple of times during the night.
Nairobi is a mix of old and new, poverty and wealth, a painful clash.
The scenery and wildlife are unbeatable, especially if you spend the nights in tented camps and mix with the locals.
The road network is complicated and the traffic is a major issue. It takes way longer than expected to move from a to b. Double the time that Google maps tells you.
The only downside: merchants insist too much with selling items to tourists at extortionate rates, steer away from the "curio shops" and be prepared for maasai women standing outside park entrances asking for money - whilst it is understandable that they need to make a living, it becomes uncomfortable after you had to say no a million times.

Fantastic trip - friendly locals, great services, breathtaking national parks, pristine beaches!
I loved my time spent in Kenya. I had two weeks and spent some time in Nairobi which is a great developed city with great services, friendly locals and as a single female traveler I felt very safe. You can catch Uber anywhere to move around, very simple and safe. The climate is much milder, does not get as hot as in lower lying areas due to Nairobi's altitude of 1800 above the sea level.
Did a three day safari in Amboseli national park by Mt. Kilimanjaro, saw loads of animals and all vent to plan as expected when booking the trip.
I also flew from Nairobi to Mombasa for New Years eve celebrations and stayed on the coast for four days. It was much hotter there and more humid, tropical paradise. You can just relax on the beach or do some of many activities available. I did scuba diving at the Bamburi marine park which was a breathtaking experience. So many tropical fish surrounding the coral reefs with clean calm waters.
Another great experience was visiting the Haller park which is again filled with many animals and visitors get a unique experience of seeing them from close up.
Overall I loved Kenya, this was not my first time and is definitely not going to be my last time either.

Mesmerizing Kenya
I was very fortunate to book the 3-day Masai Mara tour organized by Jocky Tours, at short notice. It was extremely well-organized/conducted tour in the incomparable Masai Mara National Park.
The Park itself is a very well-protected, professionally-maintained area. The welfare of animals as well as the safety/enjoyment of visiting tourists is very well taken care of. The slightly high entry fees is very well-justified.
Its a once-in-a-lifetime experience that you should never miss. Allow the abundant love and hospitality of Kenyans overwhelm you. Go Kenya

Journey to the grasslands
One of the best places to experience wildlife up close in their natural habitat plus the grasslands give us an added advantage to spot them more easily than other country national parks.
We had booked our trip with Safari Gates and they did an overall good job from the start but coordination was a little amiss between the driver and the main team.
However, the trip was fulfilling which was the main thing. We visited three parks, Amboseli, Nakuru, and Masai Mara over 6 days. The best experience was Masai Mara where we were lucky enough to witness a hunt by a pack of lions. Landscape-wise, Nakuru was stunning with the beautiful lake spreading across the park with flamingos dotting the shores.
The whole experience left me wanting more, to plan a future visit soon.
