Very impressiv a country with many different landscapes.
The road to Marsh is an adventure in itself. If thats what your looking for...go there. If you want to experience an all inclusiv holliday... don't go there.
From Archers post to Moyale the scenery is like a dessert and the road wil eat your car but for how long? The chinees are building a road so nice you won't believe what you see. People are friendly but in this area also robberies occur so you need protection from a soldier or police officer.
The food we have been eating, we brought our own. The campsite of KWS was fine, they have showers, and sanitation was fine.
The weather was very warm. The wildlife is basic out the of the park but in the parks there's a lot of game to be seen.
If you want to drive to Ethiopia and further you need to heve your paper work ready before you go there. For us it was not possible to cross the border.

Kenya is fine for a packaged safari tour.
Kenya has been the classic safari destination for decades. The tourism infrastructure is well developed, so options abound. One can witness the highlights of Kenya on a budget group safari, indulge in the luxury of a private tour, or embark on a rugged exploration of remote Northern Kenya. The people are friendly, the food is tasty, and the scenery is fabulous. However, industrial tourism has taken its toll on the experience. Entrance fees (ask for an itemized list of your package tour costs) to the parks are outrageously expensive. Mini vans crowd around predator sightings, and the neglected remote parks have fallen victim to poaching.

Good variety of diferent eviroments, from safari close to the sea, to the center of the country. Everywhere you will find a good place to experience wildlife.

Kenya was an excellent destination for my first safari. We could find a multitude of wildlife to view every day and the accomodations were first class.

Very much garbage (plastic and other rubbish) next to the roads
The safaris are certainly not animal-friendly. For example, 25 safari jeeps around one single leopard. Of course, I chose this myself, and I'm complicit.
The people in Kenya are generally very friendly. I enjoyed my trip to Kenya.

Where do the money go
When in Kenya, you cannot help but wonder where do all the money go? You’re paying quite a price for a Safari, but everything around is dirty, poor and badly maintained.

Important to be Aware
The people selling you the tour (agency) and driver running the actual tour (operator) are rarely the same company so:
- agencies do a great job presenting you a professional itinerary , however…
- communication is lacking between the agency and the operator
- different parties in the jeep may have different itineraries
- the driver is stuck having to reset customer expectations during the tour based on his schedule, which is frustrating
Best way to look out for yourself… have a detailed conversation with the driver, before leaving, on what you expect to happen and when. Where you are staying each night. List all activities and who is paying for each.
During my tour, logistics and schedules were a nightmare. However, all game drives and activities were run well. It was just frustrating having to figure things out during the tour.

plz do homework, get well prepared
Good, people are nice
But it would be better to get more prepared,see more reviews and ask someone profesional before you choose the safari company
