From the moment Alex picked us up from our hotel with gifts, to the moment he dropped us back off, was incredible. He stopped half way to Amboseli, so we could go to the bathroom. Then he made several quick stops along the side of the road so we could see the giraffe, as we were so excited seeing the very first one. He also made sure to stop at the Amboseli National Park sign so we could take pictures and pick up a booklet with all the animal names. Once inside the park, he did everything he could to make us comfortable, see all the animals possible, and get us to our meals on time. Our resort, Ol Tuaki was AMAZING! It was absolutely gorgeous, overlooking Mt Kilimanjaro, with elephants and zebra everywhere. The staff greeted us with a cool cloth and took our bags to our rooms so we could enjoy a buffet lunch that was more than we could possibly eat, with foods of all varieties. Our room was top notch, overlooking the national park. Our only regret is we didn't stay long enough to enjoy

Wild life that everyone should experience at least once in their life time.

In February, Amboseli was surprisingly dry except for the swamps and lakes. The Masai Mara was green, but the large herds were gone. But same thing with the hordes of tourists which was nice. As the grass was lower, the animals were easier to spot and we managed to see the big 5 (a rhino was spotted in Nakuru and others in the Mara).

I will definitely visit Kenya and the Masai Mara again, but next time I will do it in August.

I really love to visit Kenya for our first Safari.

Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Massai Mara were the perfect combination for us.

Thank you to #Earthwingstoursandsafaris for make this happen.

This was the most incredible experience, once in a lifetime, totally indescribable. The Kenyans are the most beautiful, sincere, obliging people I have ever had the pleasure of meeting, if you can experience this trip, Safari in the Masai Mara then a week in Watamu, you will have the time of your life!

I went to Kenya last February - 2023 and it has been a great experience for me , it was my first time Safari so for all first-timers it is very important to pick a Safari tour operator with good reputation and good reviews because it has a great effect on your experience, I went with Meektrails and they have been very professional and committed.

In my first day I visited Nairobi and the city is unique and has sweet vibes but I wouldn’t recommend staying more than one day there as there is nothing much to do in the city.

After that I visited Masai Mara, which was great and we managed to see the big 5 , it was relatively easy due to the short bushes in that time of the year, but the dry bushes made the scenery less pretty to be honest, I believe after the rain season it must be way more pretty.

After that I visited Lake Nakuru and it was MESMERIZING, and no doubt it was our best day in the trip, I would highly recommend visiting it, we managed

Wonderful

I visited several national parks to enjoy wildlife which was incredible. They all had precious resources of wildlife which may be important properties of Kenya. Regarding tourism, the accommodation and access to the tourist attractive spots are very important. The quality of accommodation inside the parks should be improved as good as the one in Southeast Asian countries. The roads near the parks should be paved. I suppose there will be more and more tourists visiting Kenya, so we as the citizens of the world should keep these pearls of nature as one of the best parks in the world.

The trip to Masai Mara was incredible, filled with amazing animals and wondrous scenery, especially at sunrise. The guide was conscientious about keeping us in the vehicle for our safety, but there were times when he would go off the trails, which did raise some objections among our group. I took the five day tour, but I would recommend a three-day safari instead. The only real bad part of it was the camp, and really only when we tried to sleep--the mosquito nets were ineffective, and on the second night, the power was out (I use a CPAP when I sleep, so this was a real problem for me), and as a result, I did not sleep well until the third night when we got to stay in a hotel.
I and other members of our group found the meeting in the Masai tribe very interesting but a bit problematic: When we were offered a chance to visit their village, we were charged a fee, which they told us was to support the village. We accepted this, but then we were confronted with peddlers in the village

Kenya is an optimal destination for a safari experience. Lots of different local providers really trying to deliver a unique experience. Great national parks, beautiful landscapes, beautiful animal sightings and friendly and helpful people can be found there. Highly recommended holiday destination, also to broaden your horizons.
