A trip to remember !
Kenya budget safaris were the perfect company for me. Our booking went quick and easy. We were met at the airport and taken to meet our safari-people.
The wonderful Esther was the lady fixing everything for us. It all went quick and smooth. A truly sweet and lovely lady. Our driver Stanley was such great fun! He has a lot of knowlage and founde a lot of animals. We learnd a lot about Kenyan wildlife, and had a blast. The tents were a good sulution for people on a budget. Simple, but good. The food was nice. All in all we had a very good trip thanks to our safari-people :)

A fantastic place!
I have visited four times, in june 2002, in early november 2004 an in january 2009 and 2011.
Honnestly something in me doesn t want to promote this NP so that I can preserve it from increasing tourist pressure... but it deserve to be known for what it is. The scenery is beautifull, at any time of the year, and has a lot of variety. The varied wildlife is present in god numbers but due to the size and in some places, the tickness of the bush, it is not always easy to spot. The park has a lot of lions, antelopes, buffalos, hippos and birdlife. As to elephants, there used to be a lot of them but I am unsure of the present situation since there has been a serious increase in ivory poaching these last years.

Great wildlife but didn't feel natural
Most likely wouldn't have written this if it wasn't for my mixed feelings. I'm glad I went there as a Tanzania safari is not complete with visiting the crater but it doesn't come even close to Serengeti. Yes, a lot of people complain about it being crowded with tourists but that wasn't the only problem. Seeing the Masai and their cattle right next to the wildebeest and zebras was also strange. Add to this the fact that the place is a small, very open enclosure hemmed in by mountains on all sides and you end up losing that "jungle" vibe that you get when you visit Serengeti or Tarangire.
Don't get me wrong, I think it's an excellent place to see wildlife-but the combination of geographic and human factors just make it feel like too much of a zoo.

A once in a lifetime experience
Our visit to Ngorongoro crater was in the middle of a safari trip from Arusha to Serengeti and back but we can say it was the high point of the trip, an amazing experience with such an scenery and amazing will life, you can not miss the Ngorongoro National Park if you visit Tanzania. Our accommodation was at the Rhino Lodge and it was a must, highly recommended!
We had a superb safari, well organised and with an excellent guide and driver.
The whole trip went well, from the earliest contact with Kikwetu. We couldn't have had a better guide than Isaac Oumar, who is an expert on the habits of the wildlife and culture of the area. Together with our very competent driver Robert, they were able to predict the best places to view even elusive animals like leopards, lion prides, and a broad range of animals by predicting their hideouts and behaviour. We thoroughly enjoyed their company and learnt much about the region. I would now like to do other tours led by Isaac who is an expert on the whole east coast even beyond Kenya I believe.
big four spoted in one day
We sported the big 4 in one day, this includes the Lion, elephant, buffalo and a leopard it was exciting. This park makes Uganda really the pearl of Africa, the river Nile, Lake Albert and Budongo forest makes Uganda a true African beauty. Activities in this park are highly recommended.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by JulieDin
We arrived after 02 days of rain in the region, so everything as green and fresh, the reserve looked like a golf course. We stayed at a nature camp (Mara Eden) on the Mara River bank and could count hippos and crocodiles and hear them during the night). Such a immersion in nature!
