Does anyone on here happen to know of any good safari's they would like to recommend in and around Kenya? We are thinking about taking a safari in a couple of years and my husband is really leaning toward going to Kenya. Thanks

Depends on where you want to visit..the most popular is the Maasai Mara and also the coastal regions. Maasai mara was named as one of the new Seven Wonders of the World..

I think it would be incredible to visit the new "wonders" of the world and I'm sure we'd like to start with Maasai Mara. How long would you say is long enough to see the best features of that area? Would four days be enough? (This would be a stop on the way to Egypt, most likely) Or three days? |

I must have missed that Maasai Mara was a new wonder of the world. I knew that they were picking some new ones but never had seen the results. Thank you, I will check out your suggestions.

I have always wanted to go on a safari, and I have heard that there are some beautiful sites in Kenya. I'm working on saving up some money for a big trip to Africa, and I'd really like to make room for a safari.

there are so many places to visit in Kenya that it will take a lot of space to list them all. Lake nakuru is another fantastic location to visit with its millons of flamingoes. ive seen a nice photo  |

This sounds like a good plan. I can't imagine myself going to Africa, Kenya in particular, and not taking the time to do a safari... it sounds so incredible! |

Thank you for posting the picture. It is so hard to believe that there are places where you can just see flamingo's in the wild like that. Here you only see them in the zoo.

I've seen a few wild in Florida but nothing like the scale of this beautiful photo... maybe just like 12 or 14 of them at the most. They're so graceful to watch! |

The picture of the flamingos is absolutely beautiful. I have been wanting to see animals in their natural habitats for so long now. Here, the closest we can really get is the zoo. I love animals, and seeing them in the wild is something I am very interested in.

I checked out the Masari Mara Reserve. It looks awesome, thank you for the suggestion. I seen where between July and October you can see massive migrations of zebras and wildebeasts.

What a beautiful picture. I think it would be awesome to see something like that. For me it is like a dream you see nothing like that around here. Hope to get there someday.

This would be a good opportunity to visit where the sun is ever faithful,Mombasa and the Kenyan Coast.In Mombasa you can take an all day dhow trip,the main attraction of the north coast is its beaches,here you will find hotel and resort complexes to suit the taste of most beach holiday enthusiasts. From your north coast base, you may want to visit Mamba Village, reputed to be one of the worlds' largest crocodile farms.At the south coast you have plenty of chances to indulge in some thrilling marine activity such as water skiing, wind surfing, scuba diving, goggling and deep-sea fishing. The Shimba Hills National Reserve, directly inland from Diani is a surprise and you have the opportunity to see some of the wildlife that Kenya is famed for,and this is just a drop in the ocean of what you are about to experience if you visit the Kenyan Coast.The Kenyan coast has a tropical climate and it is a hot and humid place. Temperatures year round vary between 22° C and 33° C. July and August are the coolest months.
