Beautiful Wildlife Haven
I visited Amboseli outside of the typical tourist season. The advantage of that is that I saw very few other vehicles/tourists throughout the park. The downside is that there's also fewer animals around. That being said though, I saw a wide range of wildlife and the landscape was green and beautiful. I saw many, many elephants, oftentimes very deep in the swamps. I also saw lots of hippos poking their heads above the swamps. There were also lots of varieties of antelopes, zebras, buffalos, ostriches, giraffes, hyenas, many different kinds of birds, and probably many more I'm forgetting to list right now. Amboseli is a wonderful haven for all these animals, and the landscape is very beautiful. It is smaller than some of the other parks in Kenya, but it is truly a wonderful place to see Kenya's incredible wildlife.

Lots of animals to see, but may take time to find.
Hluhluwe-iMfolozi is huge! There are lots of animals, but if you are driving yourself through (as we did), they may be hard to find (probably depends a bit on the season). We had a couple stretches of maybe 45 minutes where we didn't see anything. We spent about 5-6 hours there and probably only covered 60-70% of the park. The roads are fine, though there are lots of potholes on the tarred roads. The dirt roads we did drive were borderline too much for our small car, but manageable. We had a nice time, enjoyed seeing all the animals we did find and got some good pictures. There are plenty of facilities available throughout the park, so it made for an easy place to spend the day. Several picnic areas are available as well. I think that if we go back, we'd try to go at a different time of year, because all of the watering holes were dry and I suspect many animals were sticking close to certain areas with water that we didn't find.

Beautiful landscape of stunning variety.
Arusha National Park has an incredible diversity of landscape for its small size, ranging from savannah, to soda lakes, forests with craters, and the slope of Mount Meru itself.

Adventure in safety
Travel Hemispheres has a very fast efficient and polite back office (Florence). I needed information about the type of vehicle, about how to tip, and even how to pay using Pesapal - all swiftly answered. As a woman travelling alone my experienced guide (Vincent) made sure I was well looked after at all times, and he was patient and knowledgable in answer to my many questions on the long road to Bwindi from Kampala. Gift of Nature Lodge was comfortable, clean and simple, with delightful young staff. A long way off the beaten track, it was surrounded by mountains and stunning views at the end of a very remote village. Beautiful! The highlight was tracking gorillas and seeing them at play and rest in their natural setting, well protected and secure under the watchful protection of local wardens. Slithering down a steep mountain side was unexpected, but I survived (!). Take strong boots and a walking pole!

A Safe and Fun Safari!
I wanted to see the Great Migration at the Mara and it had been on my bucket list for so long that I had very high expectations of the trip. Flash Mc Tours helped me plan a hassle free tour of the Mara. I had a truly awesome time and did not have to worry about anything during the entire trip. As a single woman traveler, safety was my utmost concern, and the Mc Tours team ensured that I felt safe throughout the journey. The lodge where we were put up was neat and clean and the food very tasty! All in all, an enjoyable memory!

Lovely tour by Peter. Great committed team!
I had a great time in the Masai reserve. Peter and team were incredibly responsive to my emails, very accommodating and affordable compared to other choices. I recommend them.

Weekend away Longonot and Hell's Gate
It was my first time in a Safari and even though I have no way to compare it, I think it was really nice. I managed to get a really good price (I think it also depended on the low season) and we visited two beautiful national parks and also managed to have a look at Lake Naivasha. The touristic guide/driver, Fred, has been friendly and polite. We expected him to be more prepared on the places we were visiting, but it was still fine if you can bring with you a guide and just read there the info you want to know. Guest house was fine and meals were included (no drinks/water so buy that before). Overall: a really good safari and great weekend away!
