20-35 years of age | Experience level: first safari
A fantastic place for a safari in a place where conservation is at the forefront of their work.
A brilliant safari with lots of wildlife present. We were able to see lions, elephants, rhinos and lots of hyenas, as well as numerous different bird species. The option to do a night drive was an added bonus, giving an insight in the animals behaviour after dark. All of this takes place with stunning scenery and fantastic conservation work undertaken by the conservancy. The visit involved learning about how they are engaging the local community into their plans, and it was good to see this in action as you drive through the park. The staff are very knowledgeable and happy to talk about their work too.

Review about Tsavo West National Park by mwangee
Tsavo West is quite vast. And wildlife is scattered making it not easy to spot. Shetani Lavaflows and the nearby extinct volcanoes make the trip there worth it.

Review about Samburu National Reserve by mwangee
This place is wild! Wild and beautiful. The Ewaso Ng'iro river makes it even more beautiful with animals flocking to its shores to quench their thirst every day.

Review about Ol Pejeta Conservancy by mwangee
I've never seen so much wildlife in one place. If you're looking for a quick Safari destination, this might be your best bet. And while at it, visit the only place with chimpanzees in Kenya and the rhino sanctuary. You might want to extend your stay like I did.

Review about Nairobi National Park by mwangee
Being the only Game Park within a capital city means you can start your day in a meeting, enjoy 5-star lunch in town and end the day watching lions roam the plains, with the city Skyline in the background. There's no other place in the world you can do this.

Review about Masai Mara National Reserve by mwangee
Once you land in Mara, you'll get to know why it was rated one of the seven wonders of the modern world. With flat landscapes as far as the eye can see, you'll easily spot lions, cheetah, buffalo, rhinos, elephants and if you're lucky like me, the elusive leopard. Getting to witness a river crossing by zebras and wildebeest is too awesome for words.

Review about Lake Nakuru National Park by mwangee
Lake Nakuru is teeming with wildlife. Recent rises in water levels have reduced the number of flamingoes in the lake. The views from Baboon Cliff are still as spectacular as before.

Review about Kakamega Forest National Reserve by mwangee
Apart from monkeys and birds, you won't get to see a lot of other wildlife. In the right season, butterflies fill the forest with colourful beauty.

Review about Amboseli National Park by mwangee
Elephants! Who doesn't love elephants? And lions! And Kilimanjaro's majestic rise above the flat plains. It's one of the most beautiful places you can visit.

It doesn't get wilder than this.
Being mostly bushland, it isn't easy to spot the cats in Meru National Park. There are however lots of grazers like the rare gerenuk, zebra, giraffe, buffalo, antelopes, hundreds of bird species from grouses to fiscals to hornbills, baboons and elephants. Temperatures are usually high during the day and it isn't rare for the Mercury to hit 30 Celsius. Roads are gravelled and well marked so it's easy to navigate using GPS or traditional map. I stayed at Bwatherongi Campsite which had clean public showers and toilets as well as a pool.
