Expectations Exceeded
I saw more animals than I had anticipated. At times it felt surreal. Weather in July was perfect. It was not too hot, nor cold. Accommodations the safari provided were okay. It varied from place to place. Our guide Edward was excellent. The safari set-up felt unorganized at times but I would still recommend it.

Unforgettable experience with great safari driver
We (couple) booked 7 days safari (2nights in Masai Mara <with hot air balloon "highly recommended"> , 1 in Lake Nakuru, 1 in Lake Naivasha and 2 nights in Amboseli).
Communication was very easy with immediate response. we agreed with Robert from office to pick up from the airport (one day before safari) with full day trip in Nairobi. It was great. The driver was just a driver not a tour guide.
The next day, he pick up from the hotel to start the safari with "Edward Lore" a great driver and tour guide. He was friendly, answered all the questions. It was a budget safari and we really enjoyed the whole experience. The accommodations are basic but fit to the purpose, except in Amboseli (Kimana Camp) which was really terrible. But Edward help us to find another camp in late hour (about 12 AM) where we have spent the 2 days. For vehicle, we were 7 in Masai Mara & Nakuru, after that only 2 couples.
In the last day, we agreed with Edward to drop us in Emali to get the train to Mombasa.
Finally, it was unforgettable experience with very friendly people. Thanks a lot.

Wonderful
It was a great experience, we spent 2 days in Maasai Mara, 1 day in Nakuru, 1 Naivasha and the last in Hell's Gate. We saw all the big fives and a lot wild animals! If you have less days, maybe Naivasha is less interesting.

Excellent first impression in just a few days
I booked a 6-days trip to Massai Mara, Amboselli and Lake Nakuru. It is a lot of driving but the minibus was in a good condition and the driver was excellent. Accommodation and meals are simple but absolutely okay. The value for money is very good.
I travelled a lot in Africa but I never saw as much animals as in Kenia.

I will come back
We went to Lake Naivasha, Baringo, and Nakuru National Park after Masai Maara, all were great with great access to wildlife, although I have to say Mara got everything going on there. We spent 7 days in Mara and it was not enough. Seen practically all the animals we wanted to see and by day 5-7, we wanted to see more of them again. Our guide were amazing and have an extensive knowledge about animal, region and the culture.
As a first timer, Kenya is very recommended, as our trip happened with ease and everything was smooth.

Amazing experience
Our Safari was amazing, we started at Amboseli with some amazing wildlife, hippos, elephants, zebras, baboons, ienas, warthogs, many antelopes and gazelles species and countless wildebeests with a great view of Mt. Kilimanjaro in the back, than moved to Tsavo west and visited an amazing location at Ngulia lodge where we were able to see a leopard feeding and the amazing rhino valley, one of the best scenery of the whole trip. We concluded at Tahita hills in an amazing lodge, Saltlick with elephants and buffalos drinking at the hole in front of the lodge. We licked all the accommodation and the people were very nice and welcoming. Plenty of food and a good variety. Finally we have to thanks Tammy Tours and Tunu that organised our whole tip and our great driver Rahim which was knowledgeable, safe and a great companion for our trip. Thanks again and we will definitely be back to see all other parks that Kenya has to offer.

Awesome wildlife in abundance
The volume of wildlife in Kenya is phenomenal. The wildebeest during the migration is amazing. There is a lot of driving if you go to multiple parks but once you get to the parks it is brilliant. If you can afford a little more try to stay in resorts inside the national parks.
