The experience was memorable.

Better than expected
Because I had already seen the Northern part of Tanzania (which was amazing), I didn't think Masai Mara would be just as good. While Tanzania wins it in terms of scenic beauty and variation of landscapes, Masai Mara is equally good when it comes to wildlife. I had amazing sightings - lions (eating), cheetahs, a leopard closeby in a tree, a lot of elephants, hyena, topi, impala, giraffe and many more. I have some beautiful photos of all of them and also some stunning photos of the landscapes. I really loved the long drives on dirtroads standing in the vehicle with the wind and the sun in my face.
The weather was perfect. Not too hot. Not too cold. Only a few short showers in the afternoon. Accommodations were beautiful. Perfect trip altogether.

Amazing
We were there for only half a day and early next morning on our way out. The views are fantastic especially on the way and from the Sopa Lodge. Got to see a lot of wildlife like buffalos, gazelles, impalas, zebras & warthogs. We were so very lucky to see Rhinos, Giraffes and Lions and pigmy antelopes. We did not see different birds for which Lake Nakuru is famous.
The lodge was ok and not luxury as described but the views from the bedroom and dining area were fantastic. The staff were friendly and tried their level best to make the experience enjoyable. The food was not of high standard but was ok and the waitress failed to understand the order.
The weather was excellent and both guides made the experience memorable. Joe was very knowledgeable and knew where to go so that we can get to see the wildlife. He had the patience to wait for the animal to get closer so that we could get better photos of the Rhinos.
Our only regret was that we should have stayed one more day.

It was amazing to see so many animals in such a natural habitat.
The wildlife was diverse and numerous; you saw something wonderful around every turn! I particularly enjoyed the variety of primates, especially the baboons (and the albino baboon!). The scenery was absolutely beautiful as well. The weather was perfect-it was comfortable all day (a sweatshirt sufficed in the morning and shorts and a t-shirt were great in the afternoon). The park was clean and peaceful. We booked though Carnival Safaris and the guides were very knowledgeable and fun; I'd definitely book with them again!

Review about Kenya by birdseyeviewphotos
Kenya is one of East Africa 's premier safari destinations and having been in 11 of the parks and reserves since my first trip in 1978 within some parks many times. For a first Safari Kenya's tourism's infrastructure is more advanced and with a good knowledge guide your able to see a great deal of Wildlife especially the big five. I would suggest you avoid the rush around which means here today for dinner and a game drive on the way to the next park . I suggest you stay for several days at one park getting to know the wildlife and the area.

Kind, experienced, enjoyable!
I attended a safari with a group. We were well taken care of by the Safaris Holiday team. The driver was knowledgeable about the animals and worked very hard to get us great sightings. So grateful to the team for the wonderful hours we spent in the savanna.

Top ranking safari with a first class guide
I am lucky enough to have been on safaris in Kenya, South Africa, Tanzania and Rwanda over almost 40 years. I had heard that Botswana was probably the best and it was. Our experience was greatly enhanced by Rob Barber's exceptional knowledge and skill which enabled us to enjoy some outstanding sightings.
Rob quietly runs a very efficient operation giving the best of personal service and enjoyment to his fortunate clients. Without doubt the best safari I have experienced.

Outstanding and exhilarating safari, tremendous fun too.
All worked brilliantly and was done with great expertise and at just the right level. We had some exceptional sightings which were made possible and were greatly enhanced, by our superb guide, Rob Barber. I would unreservedly recommend him and his company, Golden Africa for a truly memorable safari.
