Kenya Safari- Masai Mara and Amboseli- January 2020
Pro's-
-Amazing scenery and wildlife, you cannot get any wilder than the Masai Mara! You will more or less be guaranteed to see at least 3/4 of the big 5!
-Amboseli is one of the most scenic safari parks in the world with the Kilimanjaro backdrop! It really is a photographers dream!
-Food is good given the facilities (used to cook the food)- have a broad mind and enjoy the flavours!
Con's-
-For 3 days there is just too much driving from Nairobi to the Masai Mara and back. Amboseli and back is manageable because the distance is considerably less. And the roads are absolutely terrible in places, choose a more expensive vehicle- anything other than a 4x4 is not suitable!
-Wildlife is heavily dependent on the season- better

in the dry season. We saw lots of wildlife in the Mara, but didn't see hardly any wildlife in Amboseli except lots of elephants and the general assortment of other smaller animals like antelope etc.-Be prepared to eat the food, it wont be what you are used to at home!

Amazing
Incredible wildlife experience.
Samburu was the highlight.
Some poor service from our tour company, African Breeze - including downgrading hotels without warning to save themselves money (we were not offered a refund).

That was my favorite trip ever
Daniel was an incredible guide, and showed us an unbelievable week. My partner and I spent seven days on safari. We went to Masa Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboselli and Tsavo East. We saw 4/5 of the big five and so many other animals. The camps were modest, but nice. They all had a very warm vibe. The Red Elephant Lodge was amazing. Daniel could not have been a better guide. When we return we will definitely use him as our guide again.

Wonderful
We have completed an amazing safari and holiday with the help of Lisa and our travel guide Dan. Dan has a very good knowledge about the nature and the habitat also very good driver. He did his best for us. We have visited all 5 big, it was amazing experience for us. The choice of accomodation points that they offer also was so good and comfortable. Lisa from King Tomondo who helped us to organize a very best plan for a safari was very helpful and experienced person. She helped in every point that we need. We want to thank all King Tomondo crew for a great unforgetable Kenya Safari tour. Hope to meet again.

Amazing experience!
We visited Kenya in February and stayed 5 days in Nairobi, 3 days in MasaiMara and 5 days in Mombasa.
In Masai Mara we had a great safari which was full of adventure. We had not even entered the MasaiMara when we saw giraffes, zebras and smaller animals. At the MasaiMara we saw 4 animals from the big five ( did not catch a rhino but some people from our crew went to lake nakuru and there were plenty of rhinos).
Weather was really nice. It did not rain at all.
Our accomodation was in place near the MasaiMara village and 3 minute drive from the main entrance to MasaiMara.
Our guide was Amazing. One day when we came from safari and drove by a little village where we saw a discotec we asked if it might be possible to visit it at the evening. The place where we stayed in cooperation with our guide organized a local guy from the traditional MasaiMara village to be our accompanist. It was the cherry on the cake. Locals showed us how to dance and overall it was a really nice ending for our safari.

Dream come true!!! Unforgettable experience!!!
Our safari is finished and I have to say, everything was perfect and exactly as described on Safaribookings. We did 4 days: Tsavo East and Amboseli with Bienvenido Kenya Tours and Safaris. Our driver Mutemi arrived right on time and from the outset was friendly, professional and informative. He spoke English very well and we have learned so much from him about the animals, nature and culture! We spotted a lot of animals within the first hour and also during the other game drives. Our expectations have certainly been exceeded. The quality of the accommodation and food varied and was what we had expected or better. We recommend this webpage, Bienvenido tour operator and Kenya one hundred percent.

Incredible!
We had a wonderful time and Jonathan was a very knowledgeable guide - making sure we saw all of the Big 5 and loads more. The highlight was seeing 6 lion cubs walking past your truck!
Ashnil was great, lovely staff and no shortage of good food! The tents were brilliant with a great pool and view of Hippos and crocs in the river.

The place is very cool
The beauty between the animals inside the cage and the free ones are way different. You will feel them alive and happy. It was very beautiful place to be!
However, there are part of the tour that we didnt do and did not advise us earlier why we are not doing it so. And im talking about the spring or thermal bath. We could have spend more time cycling than bringing us back to Nairobi, there are still plenty of time.

Beautiful Kenya.....disgraceful Tukio!
We travelled to Kenya for a safari trip of a life time. We absolutely loved Kenya, it’s wildlife and it’s people.
Kenya is a fabulous country to visit for Safari and seeing the Big Five.
However, just be advised that it is expensive, for example we paid €60 fora bottle of wine in a restaurant and we got the feeling that it was not just the wilder beast that are easy prey but tourists are very much so too.
Our tour company Tukio were good at the planning stage but we were let down very badly by them regarding accommodation. We tried to book a five star lodge which was only available for one night though we wanted two nights, and we offered for the same price, a completely different far inferior lodge in which we felt unsafe and could not even eat the deplorable food which was presented to us. When we wanted to change lodge we got very poor service from Tukio, who did very little to help our situation. We would definitely advise not using this company.
