Safari was great! I am glad I did this in the low season! The lodge I stayed in was disapointing, very old, no real place to sit down, shaggy restaurant m

Highly recommended

Amboseli Wildlife Park

4 / 5 4 /5

We were very pleased with the support we received from Esther of Cherish Safaris Kenya when making our booking for the three day, two night safari to Amboseli National Park. Francis met us as arranged at the Namunga Border crossing (between Kenya and Tanzania) and then drove us through the Park for a couple of hours wildlife viewing.
There were eight of us and the one Toyota safari vehicle was cramped, and we should have booked two vehicles and drivers.
The Sopa lodge in Amboseli was great, the rooms were comfortable, the staff very friendly and helpful and the choice and quality of food at the restaurant for breakfast and dinner were excellent, as were the facilities such as the pool, the massage spa, the Hemingway bar and indoor and outdoor bar areas, and gardens.
We had been travelling by road in Southern and Eastern African countries for four weeks and had already been to a number of large wildlife parks, and I’d suggest the wildlife viewing in Amboseli was much
Read more sparser than in Tanzania, and the Serengeti and I think we would have been happier had we travelled further North in Kenya to the Masai Mara National Park. Maybe next time.
The Amboseli NP suited our travel arrangements as we had four days to fill in between leaving the Rift valley in Tanzania and flying from Nairobi to Mauritius. We had already been spoilt for Wildlife and so for our needs the Cherish Safari was perfect.
After leaving Amboseli, Esther had booked us a night’s accommodation in the Panafric Hotel in Nairobi which was perfect for our last night before leaving Kenya Thank you Esther and Francis.

Kenya, An Unforgettable Adventure

4 / 5 4 /5

Between the vast savannas teeming with African wildlife and the vibrant energy of Nairobi, this journey through Kenya was a truly memorable experience. From the thrill of the safari to the urban discoveries of the capital, this trip beautifully blended breathtaking nature with rich cultural encounters.
I was deeply touched by the warm welcome and outstanding hospitality throughout the different parks. Having an experienced and dedicated guide and driver available at all times made every moment seamless and special.
A heartfelt thank you to Chris for making this adventure truly unforgettable.

If you are travelling to Africa for the first time and want to see as much of the wildlife as possible then Kenya is the place to go.

We booked our 9 days safari from Kenya walking safaris ... the whole expierence was very professionally managed...Special thanks to Mr. Otineho from Kenya walking safaris...
We went to Samburu, Nakuru, Masai Mara and Naivasha... at all places the accommodations were very good... our tour Guide Mr. Benson was awesome... he was very attentive and took good care of us .... we were lucky to see the big 5 and many many more animals in their natural habitat ... the trip to Hells Gate National Park was a very different and would highly recommend it.
We would strongly recommend to book through Kenya Survivors waking Safari and ask for Mr. Benson as your tour guide.

Amazing experience to see so many wild animals in a single location.

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 3 / 5 4 / 5 0 / 5

Like: amazing wildlife, spectacular Kilimanjaro scenery, clear Indian ocean waters with marine life and corrals, competent guides and friendly people, reasonable and clean accommodation;
to be improved: transportation infrastructure (took ages to drive from one part to another, some roads were so poor quality, looked more like off-road rally), excessive pressure on tourists to purchase souvenirs on the beach or national parks entrances

We enjoyed Kenya wildlife.

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 4 / 5 4 / 5 0 / 5

Loved seeing and learning about the wildlife. Since that was our purpose and goal for the trip, Kenya surpassed our expectations in that area. There was an abundance of wildlife at all the locations visited and we would not have skipped anything on our itinerary except for Lake Bogoria. Masai Mara, Ambroselli, and Lake Nakura were our favorites,
Most accommodations were adequate.
I did not think Kenya or its wildlife parks were tourist friendly. The lack of bathrooms was surprising.
Mixed review for tour company and guide. They kept changing our lodging and trying to give us lesser quality lodging. Guide knew a lot about wildlife but would only share what was specifically asked. I felt like I had to fight to get all that was included on the itinerary either to save money on park admission or make the job easier for the driver/guide. Driver had very good driving skills.
High pressure sales tactic used at rest stops which were not appreciated.

Westernized Africa

4 / 5 4 /5
5 / 5 3 / 5 5 / 5 0 / 5
You can't beat the wildlife and scenery of a safari, that's for sure and it's worth every buck. However, it did feel heavily commercialized and not very authentic in terms of the people and the vibe. It's the first safari I ever take and my views could be exclusive to Kenya, Amboseli NP or the company I chose (which was very good by the way), but to me it felt artificial in a Disney-like manner. Please don't get me wrong: I stayed perhaps in the best hotels I've ever stayed and got some of the best customer service; the guide and all the staff were always trying to please us and make us happy. Maybe this was the problem ... it felt like Cancun, Miami or anything else but Africa, a standardized and westernized vision and feel of tourism. If what you are looking for is to get to know Africa's epic wildlife with international comfort then a safari is your best choice, but if you want to discover a new culture, then make a change of plans or balance your trip
Read more with something else. We also went to Ethiopia and while the comfort standard was light years away from Kenya, the social-cultural component of that part of the trip was much more genuine and memorable. In terms of wildlife, orangutan trekking in Borneo or walking among gellada baboons in Ethiopia feel much more authentic, although not as impressive as what a safari reserve can offer. I think it's a matter of what your profile is and the expectations you have. Again, my only safari experience is in one reserve in Kenya and things could be very different in other places, I don't know but I doubt it. Personally I would take a safari again (tampering my expectations) if I was traveling to Africa on a longer trip. I would never plan a trip exclusively for a safari.
