WOW, exceeded our expectations
We have just arrived home after a month in Kenya and South Africa. We are so pleased we added Kenya as it was without doubt the best for wildlife in all the places we visited. We flew to Nairobi, went to Lake Navashia, the Lake Nakaru. (not sure about correct spelling) Masa Mara, Amboseli. It was fabulous and made more special by our guide John, a Masai Mara warrior who just knew how to spot an animal from great distances. Just amazing, we saw double of everything except the Leopard which was just bad luck and timing.
I would urge anyone who is looking for games drives to choose Kenya. A couple of reasons, they don't allow game hunters which was paramount for me. They can go off road unlike all the other places we visited, stuck on a bitumen road hoping to see something! Don't waste your time and money. Research before you go as it's something I didn't realize. Kruger, Chobe, Namibia all only have on road drives so it's difficult to see unless the animals are crossing the road.

Fantastic experience highly recommend Teko Tours
We had a wonderful experience travelling to 6 parks over 8 days. Saw the big 5 and Wildebeast migration. Favourite was probably sweet waters camp followed by Masai Mara least favourite the 2 lakes but honestly each park gave us a different experience. Really needed the beach time after - each day on safari is full on with early starts, travel and constant look out for animals

Fabulous place to start your Wild Life Safari experience
We embarked on a 5-day safari covering Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, and the Masai Mara, and it was truly an incredible adventure! We chose Jocky Tours for our trip, based on insights from Safari bookings, and couldn't have been happier with our decision.
With Stanley as our guide and driver on a private tour (Toyota Land Cruiser), we had a fantastic experience. The trip was worth every rupee spent. We were fortunate to see the Big 5 and a wide variety of animals and birds across all three locations. The boat tour at Lake Naivasha on our way to Lake Nakuru was a lovely addition to the trip. We capped off our journey in the Masai Mara with a breathtaking hot air balloon ride—an absolute must-do!
The arrangements were excellent, from the hotels to the vegetarian meals. Despite the long road trips, everything was well-organized and engaging. The weather in August was pleasant, although we missed the chance to see Mount Kilimanjaro due to cloud cover.
If you're considering a safari in Kenya, go for it! This trip is worth every moment.

Breathtaking wildlife in various scenario and beatiful beaches in a perpetual summer.
We spent one week safari with a great and well experienced guide (Patrick from Leopard Orchid Safari). From Nakuru to Masai Mara, from Amboseli to Tsavo we encountered uncountable animals and experienced some impressive wildlife scenes. In addition we visited a tea plantation near Nairobi and enjoyed some days in Tiwi beach near Diani. Safety is good, but wandering in some parts of the big cities alone (without a local guide) is not recommended. Nevertheless a travel in Kenya is definitely an experience to do and hopefully repeat.

Abundance of wildlife and beautiful scenary
Kenya is the birthplace of Safari for a reason. There are so many different parks, where you have the possibility to go on a safari. All the parks offer geat game drives and the scenary is beautiful. Even the lesser known national parks are home to lions, leopards, cheetah and so many other animals. So it's worth spending a bit more time and not only go for the most famous parks, especially since Kenya is a little bit more affordable than other countries. We had a super guide for two weeks, who was so friendly and passionate about his job. It made the whole experience very enjoyable.

Amazing wildlife, stunning sunsets.
Our tour operator was Axis travel, and they were amazing and beyond helpful. Cynthia provided so much support for us, even beyond the actual safari trip - including organizing transport to and from the airport, answering all the questions, etc. Our guide Kelvin, was so cool. He was kind, he knowledgeable, and he kept us very safe. Many times we saw some irresponsible driving, but Kelvin always kept his cool and took such a good care of us. Really, he made our trip superb.
One thing about Africa is that everybody asks for tips (at Axis even this was awesome and Kelvin was awesome). But people ask for tips that you don't even know what you are tipping... like we served you breakfast, tip us, we picked p the dishes tip us, we are going to the restaurant bathroom tip us etc. It is very extreme and strange for us coming from Europe. You can tell that Africa is a third world country and that there is such a corruption and poverty as people talk about it. Yet the prices are high and it makes you wonder how people manage to survive.
The country itself is so stunningly beautiful. Wildlife, coastline, everything.
