Breath taking, perfectly arranged and a lot of fun.
When I booked I did not have any real expectations, other than that I wanted to see the big five.
I did get to see the big the big five and so much more!
Birds of every colour, beasts you only get to see on National Geographic Channel and a kill by a leopard so fast that if I'd blinked I would have missed it.
The guide was a gem: smart, educated, social and an overall superb guide. Thank you Charlie, you were a big plus to my safari!

Magical Migration and overall good experience in Kenya
We did some safaris (Masai Mara, Amboseli, Hell's Gate by bike) and some hiking (Mount Longonot). They were all very magical. We saw the great migration (1 month early!) and did a self drive in Amboseli (totally worth it!). The only thing that we regret was the absence of communication with the locals. Every time we talked with somebody at the end it was all about money. We could not even walk alone on Diani Beach. The beach boys were over us trying to sell us all sorts of things.
Also we did not enjoy the Masai Village visit (next to Lenchada Tourist Camp in Masai Mara). It was such a tourist trap! They were all about money and money and trying all the time to sell you different things and on a very high prices. Avoid it if you can, really.

WILD!
The scenery was beautiful - it was a bit hard to spot animals during this month because the rainy season had just ended and therefore everything was green with leaves and full.

6 beautiful days in Kenya
Going in with low expectations, Kenya blew our minds with everything from its happy and hospitable people, the greenery all around, the scenic drives, the atmospheric Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and the actual safaris. The lodges were unique and an experience in themselves, food was good and the only word to sum up our spur of the moment holiday is Wow! Kenya, we will be back!

Great trip, saw every animal imaginable.
Well arranged and executed' the trip was exceptional. Great guides' especially James. He got us out to see every animal you can name. Was a well of information and very patient. The hotels were great with very good food and lots of it. Very comfortable and not crowded as we were off season (end of May). Great fun. Long trips but well worth it.

Be careful with whom you book
The countryside is fantastic. The wildlife is even better. The people are polite and helpful. However, the traffic is horrible both inside and outside of the the game parks. The company with whom we booked, Bluerange Connect Ltd., did not live up to the proposed/agreed upon itinerary and there is nothing we can do about it.
Be careful.

Exceptional journey
I've been asked recently what was my favorite trip (I've travelled to nearly 30 countries), and while it's hard to answer, Kenya will definitely be apart.
I did not know what to expect really, it's been breath-taking. The safari was beyond my expectations and the few days in Diani were very restful.
Kenyan people are very friendly and you can feel good vibes in this country.
Clearly a must-visit (always with good vibes!)

Excellent
We saw all the big five and much more in the Masai Mara game reserve. The roads to the Masai Mara from Nairobi were a mixture of good to really bad bone shaking with the latter part of the journey near and into the reserve the worst. The lodge that we stayed at was good although due to renovations some of the amenities were not available. Food was very good as was the friendliness of the staff. Scenery in the Masai Mara is not that spectacular apart from the wildlife. Our guide was excellent and knew his stuff to ensure we saw all that you could hope to see. Weather was ideal as it was not too hot. We also visited Lake Naivasha and Lake Nakuru again both really nice and the lodge in Lake Nakuru game park was excellent.
