A very impressive reserve hosting the big five
Our group spent one day with two four wheel drive rovers (10 seats plus chauffeur) and the Krüger Park guides. For me it was the first time in Afrika and I had high hopes for this outing. Guide taught us the basics and was very knowledgeable about the wild life and flora. Our bus missed the leopard but we saw ample of wildlife, including hippos, crocodiles, a pride of lions, several troops of elephants, giraffes, four types of antilopes some baboons and hyenas, warthogs, wildebeest, water Buffalos and some birds. Lunch was also well arranged. A beautiful day

Surreal. The beauty and the wildlife but most of all the people will leave you stunned.
The wildlife was spectacular and the way the viewing were arranged by Mararumi safaris was nothing short of exceptional. Our driver and guide, Robin, was amazing. He was so well versed on where to find the animals and birds and was accommodating of all our requests. The places we stayed at amazing and it was a delight to enjoy international cuisines each day, along with the local fare.
The trip to Masai village was a cherry on the top. The way villagers live, how they create/make fire with just wood and stone, their way of life and the way they build the home, was a learning experience for all of us.

Once in a lifetime experience
We really enjoyed our two weeks in Kenya, which included a safari, some camping, time by the coast and some time in Nairobi.
The wildlife and landscapes are incredible - this was our first safari so not sure how it compares to other countries, but we saw everything we wanted to see. The weather was generally pleasant, a bit cooler with a few more showers than we were expecting but nice to not be sweltering.
The vast majority of people we spoke to were very friendly and customer service is generally very good. We weren't always sure about tipping but a small gesture of appreciation always seemed to go down well.
Visitors should be prepared to be approached by sales people in popular destinations like the beach - they were always very friendly and never aggressive, but some were very persistent which did taint our experience a bit.
We were in Nairobi during the protests, and other than road closures we weren't too affected. It's not the kind of city you can generally walk around very easily, so as long as you take sensible precautions it isn't a particularly unsafe place to be.

Beautiful country with amazing wildlife.
My trip was absolutely amazing. I went to the Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli. All three are spectacular but I particularly loved the Maasai Mara. I was amazed at the sheer number of animals we saw.
I went in June and the weather was mostly good, with a couple of drizzly days. The main tour operators I went with were good, but I would recommend that if you book a tour online you make some inquiries as to what exactly the tour includes, as this is not always consistent with the description online.
A number of attractions ( for example the Nairobi National Park) require payment via the eCitizen system with no alternative, so make sure you have internet access/a Kenyan SIM card. The tour operators will usually organise the park fees for you but the one I booked for the Nairobi National Park didn‘t, and it was a real hassle to get in.
There are plenty of attractions in Nairobi so it‘s worth spending a few days there.

Unforgettable
A very nice experience. We contacted Mike, he answered all our questions and we booked with this company with an affordable price. Mr. Muri was our translator-guide and Mr. Makundi was our driver-guide. Both people were professional and friendly. Highly recommended. 😊
