“I’m an amateur wildlife photographer and booked this safari mainly to shoot the “Big Five.” I wasn’t disappointed.
The 4x4 vehicles had pop-up roofs which made it super easy to get clear shots. The guides were patient and even repositioned the vehicle to help me get better angles. I got shots of a male lion at golden hour, a herd of elephants with dust clouds swirling, and flamingos creating a pink blanket over Lake Nakuru.
Even beyond the animals, Kenya is photogenic as heck—acacia trees silhouetted against the sunset, Maasai people in their beautiful red garments, and of course, Mount Kilimanjaro standing quietly in the background at Amboseli.
This wasn’t just a vacation—it was a creative recharge. I’m already editing my portfolio to include a “Kenya” section!”
“The whole kenya trip was just incredible. From the moment we landed in Nairobi, we were well taken care of. Our guide, Paul was knowledgeable, funny, and always knew where to find the best wildlife spots. Seeing elephants so close they felt like part of the group? Unreal. And lions just casually lounging in the grass? That’s the kind of thing you only see in National Geographic!
Masai Mara was a highlight. The game drives were exciting without feeling hurried, and every time we thought we’d seen it all something else would amaze us, cheetahs, giraffes, even a leopard in a tree! Lake Nakuru had the flamingos and so many other birds, it felt like we were in a nature documentary.
Amboseli was peaceful and the views of Kilimanjaro. Just magical. We ended each day with delicious food, friendly staff, and stories around the lodge fire. It was exactly what we needed: nature, quiet, and awe.
This was our first time in Africa, and hopefully not our last. If you’re thinking about it, just do it!”
