Wonderful birding trip guided by Josephe from Nature's Wonderland Safari
I went Kenya for a birding trip last week,21-day trip. We are a group in 7-person. Not only more than 490 bird species, but also more than 40 species of mammals, amphebious and reptiles did I watched. Good views of Kenya mountains and lakes, plateau and forests. Especialy Cheetah's hunting,Lion's family style,Leopard family gave me deep impressions. I do remember the Rondo Retreat in Kakamega, it's a very nice place for birding and staying, the fish pond is a very lovely place for thinking and dazing.I do remember the kindly waiter in the restaurant of Rondo Retreat, his service is very special and considerate.
Thanks our guides and drivers in Kenya, Anthony and David are good drivers,they gave us safe and exciting safari experience. Especialy thanks should give to Joseph, he was our birding guide,gave us professional guide and thoughtful care in the trip. I learned much more knowlege about birding identify methods from Joseph.Joseph is very familiar with the birds situation in Kenya,especially familiar with the birds sounds.

Absolutely fabulous
Kenya is unbeaten when it comes to a scenery. We got to see the migration in the Maasai mara and it was wonderful.
Our guide was a true gentleman, and all the parks were beautiful, there was more people around animals than I am use to as I am from Botswana but the scenery made up for it .
I would recommend Best Memories safaris to anyone.

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.
