A must see once in your life
This was my second time to Kenya, after a 23 year break, and the wildlife experience was terrific and amazing as experienced already in 1996. The Masai Mara is a life time experience, I cannot imagine a better place for such an experience. The flamingos though have moved away from Lake Nakuru, most to be found at Lake Bogoria now, another life time experience. My first trip to Kenya did not include the beaches, this time we spent a week at Diani beach south of Mombasa, another amazing experience........such a long stretch of white sandy beach along the Indian Ocean (it must be around 80 km) is amazing. Downside in Kenya are safety issues (one is advised not walk around after dark), lots of traffic jams in Nairobi and Mombasa, lots of bad roads in dire repair and the precautions for diseases like Yellow Fever, Malaria and such. Bottom line however is, that Kenya truly is a wonderful and unique destination.

Wonderful
We were able to see the big 5 game drive was great. Especially our driver John. He was able to get us whereever there was a somthing to see.
We saw about 4-5 Lions and 3 leopards. We even spotted a hippo just waking in the bush.
Accommodation, food and weather were all great during our 5days tour.
Nothing to complain about. We had a Wonderful time.

Worth every penny. Kenya is beautiful, the animals, the people, the countryside...
I love Kenya, and will return taking more friends and family. I split my time 50% in Nairobi, 50% in the Masai Mara. As well as staying in the city, we visited David Sheldrick Center, Giraffe Sanctuary and Nairobi National Park (can all be done in one day with an early start) not a rush you will see adequate. Our itinerary for The Masai Mara, Lake Nukuru and Lake Naivasha was perfect. enough time everywhere. Things to know - make sure you have snacks/food with you on your drive to the Masai - it's hours, ask how long things will take (then add an hour) - just so you have an idea, and be aware your driver may be on the phone a lot. Take many things to give away, toys, clothes, sweets/candy, shoes, jackets - as much as you can carry - you will regret it if you don't.

El safari de una semana con Fede Tours fue una experiencia increÃble. Vimos muchos animales, sobre todo en Masai Mara. Nos sentimos muy bien acompañados y con buenas explicaciones, conducción correcta en carreteras y los hoteles súper bien. Muy recomendable!!

Everything about the trip was perfect
The wildlife and scenery were amazing - we were lucky as we got to see everything that we were hoping to see, including all of the Big 5. Each park felt different, whether it was the diversity of wildlife, the scenery or the weather, which made each park its own incredible adventure. While technically in the rainy season, we experienced almost no rain, except for about 30 minutes one afternoon in the Masai Mara (and even then, the raw power of the rainstorm was fascinating). The accommodations were very luxurious and the rooms were great - there were no complications with check-in or check-out, staff was friendly, and the food was delicious. Our guide was incredible, and we were really happy that we drove from place to place so that we could see more of the beautiful country rather than just the national parks. In all, we went to Amboseli, Mount Kenya, Samburu, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara. Everything about this trip was perfect and we would recommend it to everyone!

A perfect gentleman, well informed n connected in Nairobi, he truly went out of his to ensure that we had a comfortable drive , wonderful places to stay n great Game Viewing thru his guide n driver Charles, a blue Blooded Mara.
Got more than money's worth. Cheers

Good coverage with very good campsite with good food
Nairobi traffic can be controlled only by making some over bridges.Approach road to Masai mara can be made with a little more effort from government.Jungle roads are ok.

Amazing
The wildlife was absolutely fantastic, the diversity & numbers of animals & birds was astounding! Still trying to assimilate it all! We saw hundreds of elephants, zebras, Wildebeest, so many giraffes, birds etc. our guide Peter was so knowlegable, helpful, in every way! I just can't say enough! The accommodations were great, as was the food & all the staff in the resorts where very welcoming & personable, especially in Kibo.
It was very special for me, because I was traveling with my 2 grandchildren, ages 11 & 12 & all the places & activities where so well organized, all was smooth sailing! We will remember this trip forever! We loved going to the Masai village & interacting with the Masai, & watching them make fire & dancing with them.
The weather was great. Some of the highlights include seeing 10 lions @ once, just outside of our last compound, there were 3 males (with manes), & 4 females with 3 cubs. They were lying around, & the Cubs were covorting around the females, who were licking the Cubs. We watched them for quite a while, & they were right @ the side of the road. We also enjoyed the elephant orphanage, & adopted a baby. The giraffe sanctuary was really awesome too, to feed these gentle, beautiful creatures & view them so close was very cool! We had a great time inWatamu &"our accomation,right on the ocean was marvelous. We did some great stuff there too, took a tour of a snake farm & held big snakes (not my favorite, but the children loved it). We went on a tour of Mombasa, the spice market & Fort Jesus was well worth seeing. Also the ruins @ Gedes were spectacular, & there we had monkeys jump on our shoulders & fed them bananas!
