Amazing once in a lifetime experience
Communication: The communication prior to the trip was fantastic and prompt. Raphael responded quickly to our emails and answered all of our concerns and questions. We honestly had a long email thread going and it felt like we already knew each other by the time we first met in Nairobi.
Service: The service was amazing. Our tour operator George was the best guide we could have asked for. He was incredibly knowledgeable about animals in the safari and taught us about the culture and lifestyle in Kenya. This was the biggest surprise for me. I expected to see tons of animals, but being able to build a relationship with the tour operator and learn more about Kenya and its people was the cherry on top.
Accommodations: 5 star. I was nervous about this before we left, but was very pleasantly surprised. The lodges were spacious, clean, and had all of the amenities you would expect in a hotel. The service at all of these lodges was also top notch. Everyone was ready to assist you however they could and truly made an effort to make you feel welcome.
Safari: Awesome experience. We saw herds of elephants moving from the bush to the marsh, prides of lions lounging during the day and playing during the night, giraffes, zebras, rhinos, etc. We were able to see just every animal we wanted and more. The safari was also well planned in the we were able to go to Amboseli National Park and see Mount Kilimanjaro. Our last day at Amboseli, we had breakfast outside on a patio on a crystal clear day and had the best view of Mount Kilimanjaro. The only thing that I would leave out is Lake Nakuru. The redeeming factor for this trip was seeing rhinos and a very cool interaction between a few lions and water buffaloes, but if you're coming to see flamingos (which it was previously famous for) make sure to check the conditions before you come. Lake Nakuru's water levels were too high when we came so we hardly saw any flamingos.
Overall amazing trip!

Excellent first impression in just a few days
I booked a 6-days trip to Massai Mara, Amboselli and Lake Nakuru. It is a lot of driving but the minibus was in a good condition and the driver was excellent. Accommodation and meals are simple but absolutely okay. The value for money is very good.
I travelled a lot in Africa but I never saw as much animals as in Kenia.

Great safari country
Fantastic. But more restrictions should be applied for the benefit of the animals.

Everything was perfect
Our safari was great! We got to see the big 5 at Mikumi National Park. The communication from the beginning was great, the staff is extremely nice and flexible. We did a 3 day safari and found it to be just long enough. We loved talking to our guide Paul and would highly recommend him. He was full of stories and knew so much about animals. Very safe driver! We really could not have had a better experience. Thank you !

Excellent experience.
Safari bookings did a great job of connecting us to a child friendly safari lodge. Very nice drivers and transport to and from hotels/airport and quality service at the lodge.

Great experience and a wonderful 9 Days Kenya Safari !
I and my 2 friends had booked a 9 Days Kenya trip with Tropical Vacations starting with a night in Nairobi on arrival, then to
Masai Mara game reserve, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasaha , Amboseli National Park and finally drop off a at
Watamu.The tour was well organized. Our flight landed at 8 p.m. and Mathew and the driver met us with a car as agreed for a transfer to our hotel in Nairobi.
The car was a mini-van. It is quite decent, the seats are comfortable and there were no major breaks. Wilson could use the maximum the car can provide! :))
and we must say everything was excellent from planning to execution....first of all, our emails were responded to in time,
with all the answers we sought and at some point we had to change our initial itinerary..but it still worked out perfectly.
The Guide Wilson was a nice professional who was keen to show us around and drove carefully...he was also punctual on time
...the accommodation options we chose were booked and were perfect, staying in lodges, (Amboseli Sopa Lodge was nice, but a little far from the park!)
We were lucky to see most of the wildlife, with at least 4 of the Big 5 and to sum it up, Mount Kilimanjaro!
We were generally happy with the services and would for sure use this company again...also recommend to our friends....

Wonderful
It was a great experience, we spent 2 days in Maasai Mara, 1 day in Nakuru, 1 Naivasha and the last in Hell's Gate. We saw all the big fives and a lot wild animals! If you have less days, maybe Naivasha is less interesting.
