1. Mara Triangle
Overall Ratings
5.0 based on 809 reviews
The Mara is a beautiful but sensitive environment that can survive only if properly respected. Well-watered by the Mara River, enjoying abundant vegetation, wildlife and rainfall, its ecology would appear, at first sight, to be relatively resilient. It also appears to have withstood the erosive effects of huge numbers of visiting tourists extraordinarily well. There are signs, however, that the delicate balance between tourist numbers and wildlife populations cannot be properly maintained for much longer as evidenced by the reduction in the protective vegetation cover and the emergence of a series of dust bowls. Meanwhile, the Reserve is host to 95 species of mammals, amphibians and other reptiles and 485 species of birds. During the dry season (July to October) it also hosts a major concentration of migratory herbivores including about 250,000 zebra and 1.3 million wildebeest. Amongst the list of easy-to-view species are: gazelle, elephant, topi, buffalo, lion (Kenya's largest population), black rhino, hippo, hyena, giraffe, leopard and mongoose.

Mara triangle is among the best parks within Masai Mara.you get to find that their roads are well maintained,signs on the roads with speed limits e.t.c I can not hesitate to recommend to any traveler to choose the Mara triangle. Game viewing is perfect especially when the great wildebeest migration is on. While watching the animals,you are allowed off-road driving in a supervised manner,where by sometimes the rangers will supervise that. Thanks for that Mara triangle management.

The african word Safari in Kiswahili language means "travel" or tour: Not only physical tour, but also a spiritual. For Mamasavana this is not a simply african tour towards the incontaminated nature, but a tour inside yourself, where the contact with the land of the great Mama Africa takes you back to your origins. Mamasavana wants to lead by hand whoever wants to embark on this experience in savanna, the real heart of Africa, with Kenya or Tanzania safari. We would like to narrate you more, but we know very well that certain emotions can not narrated, but only by living. Neither do we want to make you depart right away: the desire is probably already inside you. Safari Njema !!!

Spent 4 nights and 5 days with Mama Savana in African Safari. Visited Tarangire, Central and Northern Serengeti, Ngorongoro crater. All are unique with their nature and wild life. It was my best African safari ever. We saw all big fives and one African Civet in the day time very close to our car. Our driver cum guide Joseph is young and energetic. He has in depth knowledge about wildlife, birds and nature. We enjoyed every moment of it. Mama savana is a very professional company leaded by Alex. Thanks Mama Savana to make the safari memorable.

Nyeri is the green heart of Kenya. The busy town is the centre of one of the most fertile regions of the world and surrounded by the majestic mountain ranges of the Aberdares and Mt Kenya. Nyeri is the perfect destination for a family holiday; It is ideally located for daytrips to Abercare NP, Mt Kenya Solio ranch and Ol Pejeta conservancy.

An authentic safari has been on my bucket list since 2012— and now 8 years later I feel I’ve experienced the best- hands down!! Our driver, David Kopi was exceptional at spotting the animals and getting us to them with his vast experience and connections with other drivers — they all communicate amazingly well— we saw all but one of the Big five (rhino) and evening an awesome NINE lionesses and 6 cubs and the King himself who all took a nap on the side of our jeep in the shade- we could have petted them!! We left at sunrise and took a windbreaker type jacket and long pants. We picnic ed under the coolest tree and enjoyed crepes, fruit, yogurt, beans and carrots and juice- such a defining experience!!

It's a Park where you are almost alone. Lot's of birds. Buffalos, some elephants. Rhinos, if you're lucky lions. Hippos and crocodiles. It's different from other parks i've been. But really worth to visit

In October 2020, I stayed 3 days in Amboseli national park with Abupet safari ventures. The landscape of the park is beautiful and varied; it is mainly savannah and swamps where animals come to drink, with Kilimandjaro mountain in the background. Indeed, you can take wonderful pictures of animals (elephants, giraffes…) at sunrise and sunset with Kilimandjaro mountain in the background The fauna in Amboseli national park is rich. In the park, during day game drives, we have seen: - big herds of majestic grey elephants with babies. These families of elephants spend a lot of time, bathing and playing in the swamps and waterholes : unforgettable and fantastic!!! - lions with cubs - two male brother cheetahs - black-backed jackals - other mammals, e.g.: zebras, giraffes, herds of beautiful blue wildebeests, buffalos, impalas, waterbucks, hartebeests, Thomson and Grant gazelles, warthogs… - a lot of beautiful birds. When you go in Amboseli, do not miss to climb at the top of of Observation hill, where you can have your bush breakfast and where the view is amazing on Amboselli national park and on Kilimanjaro mountain. Altogether, I HIGHLY recommend to visit Amboseli national park

Noble black rhinos are the highlight of this amazing park, Kenya’s first national park and a local treasure.
Reviewed By nualap2014
As you travel through Nairobi National Park's 45 square miles, you'll find it hard to believe that you are in a modern city. The city's skyline in the distance, is the only reminder. The park is teeming with wildlife, all protected by aircraft overhead and discreet armed guards. You can expect to see lions, rhinos, buffaloes, giraffes and many others animals and birds, roaming in the grassy plains under the occasional acacia tree. If you don't have time for a full scale safari, when you visit Kenya you'll be glad you visited Nairobi National Park.

We stayed in the area for 2 days visiting the Samburu National Reserve seeing both Shaba and Buffalo Springs which are on opposite sides of the river. Shaba seemed to have a bit more wildlife when we were there and I saw my first big cats of the trip 2 leopard cubs, we never saw the mother and a female cheetah with 2 juveniles. Saw plenty of Elephants, Reticulated Giraffe's, gazelle's, impalas, monkeys, baboon, grevy zebra's. Was significanlty less crowded than Maasai Mara and Amboselli. We also took a visit to a Samburu village where we saw how they lived which was pretty interesting.
10. Buffalo Springs Reserve

Buffalo Springs sits on the southern side of the Ewaso Nyiro river. It has a wide variety of animals and surprisingly few safari-visitors. Hence it is a joy to go on a game-drive in this national reserve. We left Nanyuki at around 9.30 AM and reached the Chokaa Gate of Buffalo Springs National Reserve in 2 h. Grevy’s zebra is native to East Africa and is the most threatened among the three species of zebra, the other two being the plains zebra and the mountain zebra – you can easily identify them by looking at their belly as their bellies do not have stripes unlike other species of zebras
