Review about Queen Elizabeth National Park by Annette
In comparison with other safari destinations that we've visited (in Namibia, Botswana, South Africa, Kenya and Tanzania), this park lacks the proliferation and diversity of wildlife we've seen elsewhere. It's still a worthwhile destination but your expectations need to be aligned with the opportunities to see animals (especially predators) at close range. The birding was good.

Review about Mabamba Swamp by Annette
Exceptional! We saw countless birds, including the shoebill, as well as otters. The boatmen were very patient and also very knowledgable, which made for a wonderful experience.

Review about Lake Mburo National Park by Annette
The area is excellent for walking safari experiences and we had the most amazing walking safari ever (and we've done many in numerous countries). The calm animals and the capacity to get close to them was breathtaking. The birding on the lake and surrounding wetlands was also outstanding.

Review about Kibale National Park by Annette
Again, while we are keen birders, we were there for the chimps so we didn't really focus on birds, although those we saw were remarkable.

Review about Bwindi Impenetrable National Park by Annette
We weren't rally birding in Bwindi - we were there for the gorillas and that was an incredible experience.

Review about Bigodi Wetland Sanctuary by Annette
We spent our walking time in local community gardens rather than in the wetlands, which was disappointing. We did see lots of birds but no primates at all.

Incredible
The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, the facilities were exactly what we were looking for, and we managed to see all the animals we had hoped for. It truly felt like being in a dream.
The only aspect that could be improved would be having a guide who also speaks Italian. That said, our DEO was absolutely fantastic!

Breathtaking landscapes, extraordinary wildlife and the warmth of its people, Change you!
Kenya is a place where breathtaking landscapes, extraordinary wildlife and the warmth of its people come together to create an experience that doesn’t simply impress you—it changes you.
Our safari exceeded every expectation. The wildlife viewing was remarkable, but what made it truly unforgettable was seeing these magnificent animals living freely within Kenya’s vast, beautiful landscapes. Every drive offered something different, and even the quieter moments—watching the scenery, taking in the changing light and simply appreciating where we were—felt extraordinary.
Our accommodations were beautiful, comfortable and exceptionally welcoming. We were treated with genuine warmth throughout our stay. Agnes, the accommodations manager, was gracious and attentive and made us feel completely at home. Janet, our personal server, took wonderful care of us and brought such warmth and kindness to every meal. Their hospitality was every bit as memorable as the surroundings.
Our guide, Tonkie, was exceptional. His knowledge, patience and ability to locate wildlife transformed each game drive into an experience we will never forget. He did far more than simply show us animals—he helped us understand what we were seeing and gave us a much deeper appreciation for Kenya’s wildlife and natural environment.
The scenery was spectacular, the weather was wonderful, the wildlife was beyond anything we could have imagined, and the hospitality was deeply genuine. Kenya delivered far more than a vacation; it gave us memories and relationships that will remain with us for the rest of our lives.
On a scale of 1 to 10, Kenya was easily a 20. We cannot recommend it highly enough.
