Incredible Experience!
I recently traveled to Nairobi for a work trip, and added on vacation so I could go on safari for the first time. I found Earthwings Safari through Safaribookings.com, and was extremely happy with my experience! I did 3 days in Masai Mara and a day in Lake Nakuru, and both were extremely beautiful. I saw plenty of animals and generally enjoyed being in Savannah and lake regions. Kenyans are extremely nice and helpful. Make no mistake, this is a developing country so public infrastructure is not always great, but if you’re used to going off the beaten path or accept that this isn’t going to always be a fully westernized experience, and embrace where you are, you will have the absolute best time. I highly recommend and if I have the chance to go back to Kenya again for work, I will be doing this all again!

A Lion King come to life experience
I had my trip to Tanzania with my boyfriend in November , right in the beginning of the rainy season , but it wasn't a big deal for the Safaris
Even tough it would be raining in the city somedays because of altitude it was always sunny in the parks with a cool weather , so I liked it a lot
We booked a 3-day safari with Kilimanjaro Adventure Safari Club , D was our driver/guide/ranger
We went to Ngorongoro , Tarangire and Maynara . Each park was very different from the other so for a 3-day trip I would recommend this itinerary.
We got to see from close distance all 5 uglies and 4 of the big 5 .. Black Rhino was hard to spot and we only saw it once but from a very long distance.
About other tourism highlights I can only say about the hotel , which they had a dance and acrobatics performance every evening. We didn't go outside the hotel to the city and I wouldn't recommend it.
Also there is a very strong tipping culture everywhere wich came as a surprise for us in the beginning.

Review about Murchison Falls National Park by Jose Murguia
Murchison Falls is simply incredible I remember we were a little bit behind schedule so I ask Our Guide Musafaru its just a water fall we can skip it so we can catch up Musafaru said the that will be a big mistake so he convinced us and I will say that is one of the 3 most important things we watch its just amazing

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by Nuri
Extremely beautiful and well protected. Only putting 4 stars as the rules about driving around are extremely strict, unlike some of the other parks, but it’s still extremely worth a visit. We had a lovely time!

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by Nuri
There’s a reason this is known as the most popular park. It’s amazing. The Savannah is beautiful and you can see for miles. The wildlife is everywhere and it’s a very peaceful place.

Review about Nairobi National Park by Nuri
Very cool to have a real national park filled with animals in Nairobi! An easy trip to take a break from the city and just enjoy the beauty that Kenya has, all within the city limits! My colleagues who live and work in Kenya take their children here on weekends, so it’s appreciated regardless of if you’re a local or a tourist.
