What can be said about Kenya that hasn't already? It's simply one of the most amazing destinations that one could contemplate. The variety of the animals and birds is simply beyond compare. And Kenya provides some of the most scenic vistas to encounter all of the animals in. While Tanzania may lay claim to the highest peak in Africa, Kenya is home to the second highest peak -- Mt. Kenya. The latter is far more scenic as a backdrop for all of the wildlife. Carved by many, many years of glacial activity, it's a sculpted delight that is dramatic from all angles. Additionally, Kenya offers a very large variety of terrains and eco-systems. It's all here in a country filled with friendly, helpful people that are proud of who they are and where they're from.

I've only been on one safari holiday in Kenya. This one lived up to all my expectations, and more!

Our Kenyan tour included Samburu (hot and arid), Lake Nakuru (Flamingo and Rhino), another lake included a boat trip to get close to Hippo and hunting Fish Eagle. Finally the amazing, incredibly beautiful Masai Mara, lions and cheetahs on kills, an amazing variety of bird life - ground hornbill, secretary birds, vultures, ostrich and more - wildebeest in astonishing numbers, warthog, buffalo, zebra, giraffe, gazelles, antelopes, elephant and finally a beautiful scene of around eight lion cubs gleefully greeting thei mother.

Friendly people, beautiful parks, one of the kind meeting with the nature!

5 / 5 5 /5

Kenya it's a perfect place for everyone who love nature. There are many parks, whee you can meet African Big Five. I recommend to start with the Arc the hotel in the middle of Aberdare National Park where you could spend night surrounding by while animals.
You should also visit the capital Nairobi, where find good place to sleep and delicious is no problem at all. Visit Karen Blixen Home and don't forget to stop by Giraffe Center where you can pet and feed giraffes . I think the good time visit Kenya is fall when great migration has place. This counry is also great spot for beach and warm ocean lovers.

The game drives, seeing the mass variety of animals, was amazing.

We loved the game drives as we saw many animals. The scenery was also amazing! The weather was perfect, not too warm or cold, and it rained a little only one day. The Lenchada Tourist camp n Masai Mara was very comfortable, and the staff was friendly and helpful. However, the food was only fair. Buraha Zenoni Hotel and Resort in Nakuru City was very comfortable and offered a great dinner buffet with lots of food variety.

Kenya is a beautiful country. For people who love nature, the country is highly recommended.
My advice is to do the safaris yourself — not with a tourcompany/guide. With a tour, you get a driver (not a guide as promised) in an overcrowded safari jeep, with little flexibility, and you end up at lodges you wouldn’t have chosen yourself. A self-drive safari is easy to do with a 4-wheel drive and is much cheaper.
