Beautiful and diverse national parks
Overall rating
5/5

We visited five national parks, all very different from each other and beautiful in their own ways. Masai Mara is a must with most impressive and accessible large fauna. Lake Nakuru for rhinos and incredibly beautiful yellow acacia forest. Lake Amboseli for the perfect picture of wildlife under Mt. Kilimanjaro. Tsavo West for mountainous scenery and the water hole in front of the Kilaguni Serena Safari Lodge. And finally Tsavo West, for the sheer feeling of true wild space.
It was cold in Kenya in August! The temperature dropped under 10 degrees centigrade some mornings. We ended the trip at Diani beach near Mombasa, where it was raining less or more hard three out of four days. According to the locals, it has been raining there in August the last three years, although long-time statistics depict August as a dry month. We absolutely enjoyed Diani beach anyway.

Lovely people, tasty food, great safari experience.
Overall rating
4/5

We, two adults (49y, 43y) and two children (12y, 9y), had a great time in Mombasa (Bamburi beach) and a 4 day safari (Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli and Mzima Springs). In total we stayed 13 nights.
The beach is beautiful, however the beach boys are annoying, you really do not feel comfortable to try a walk at the beach.
The hotel had great swimming pool and entertainment during the whole day, with all-inclusive you really have excellent food, drinks and service.
The 4 day safari was for sure a highlight: it is a long drive during the first and last day, but it is worth. Safari means that you need to wake up earlier every day as during the morning is the best time to see the animals. Late in the afternoon as well. Amboseli has lot of people doing safari, but you see a lot of animals and birds. Mzima springs is unique, it is a place to visit if you want to see a lot of hippos. Tsavo West and Tsavo East are very different, the first you might not see as many animals as in Tsavo East, however only in Tsavo West you might see the Rhino.
At the end we saw all Big 5.
Tips: do not buy souvenir at the Curios during the safari, it is way too expensive. All items are not priced, thus it is a matter of price negotiation. If you still want to buy something, ask for the price and offer maximum 1/3 of the asked price.
Please make sure to have the local currency with you (Kenia Schilling), the locals prefers the Schilling when you give small amount of money to them. Coins (Euro, Dollar, etc) are really not welcome.

Great Experience! Meektrails is a great agency, John is the best guide, speaks English and ITALIAN!
Overall rating
5/5

We had a great time with Meektrails, thanks to their organization, and to John, the guide we had in our safari.
Daniel has been always ready to answer all my questions since we started communicating, he gave us a very competitive quotation, but mostly, he accomodated all our requests.
Our guide John, speaks both English and Italian! He is a friend now, we spent a week with him in Amboseli, Naiwasha and Masai Mara, we had two kids travelling with us (8 and 9 y.o.) both were crying when he had to leave us at the end of the trip.
He is a great man, not only a passionate guide.

A fantastic destination for your safari.
Overall rating
5/5

Just got back from 2 weeks in this fantastic country. Had a week on safari in the Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and a week at the beach in Diani
The safari was all we could have wished for. Jockey Tours provided us with a fantastic trip. We saw every animal there was to see here even though the Black Rhino was proving to be a little elusive we eventually found it.
After the safari we got a flight and headed to the beach. Was a lovely unspoilt beach. Beautiful soft white sand. Not too much hassle on the beach. After a friendly chat you could buy something or not whatever you wanted to do.
I will definitely be returning to Kenya. A fantastic destination and such friendly people.

Spectacular
Overall rating
5/5

I traveled to Kenya with my family using Beast Safari Tours company and the experience we passed was spectacular from the beginning to the end of the safari, the hotel Jambo also is very beautiful and nice.
The experience making the safari where you can see all the wild animal in front of you was unimaginable, we were at 50 meters from the animals and the most important was the safety of the persons.
We enjoyed, Thanks Kenya for the hospitality.

Overall rating
5/5

We had an incredible time on safari for 1 week visiting Amboseli, Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru. Our driver Ali was fantastic and ensured we saw everything possible in our time. We were so lucky to see the ‘Big 5’ plus many more. All of the accommodation and food was brilliant and staff always welcoming.
