Kenya and Tanzania Reviews

We went to Kenya and Tanzania last July and used Southern and Eastern Safari for Kenya and Leopard Tours for Tanzania. Be sure to book the two separately because Kenyan agents are not allowed to book tours in Tanzania so they use a Tanzanian agent and get a cut and basically you end up paying more, instead of dealing with Leopard Tours directly.
I would skip Lake Manyara in Tanzania as there arent that many animals there. We went to Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater in Tanzania, both a MUST. In Kenya, we went to Masai Mara only. If you are only visiting one park, you can just ask the resort to book a tour for you. For example, you can fly to your resort in Masai Mara from Nairobi and have the resort provide a safari for you. This way, you don't need a tour agent for Kenya. You can book your Kenya - Masai Mara tickets online, as well as the resort. Consider staying one night in a tented camp like Mbuzi Mara in Tanzania... it is a whole different experience. |

Infact most Ugandan's think the Kenyans are not as hospitable as they should be considering they are such a hot tourist destination. I did visit Kenya on occasion and t…Tanzania, Somalia in the northeast, Ethiopia in the north, Sudan in the northwest and west by Uganda and Lake Victoria. The capital of Kenya is Nairobi.

We have just returned back from safari. The experience was
wonderful. We took a matatu (a minivan with 14 seats and
sometimes a lot more people) that we had rented privately down to
Nairobi. We met the safari people and headed d…Tanzania, and therefore the
Serengeti, no passport stamp though. :( The next day we
drove up to Lake Nakuru (Flamingo Lake) where we got to see so many
flamingos, rhinos, and much more. It is amazing how close all the
animals let you get to them… A pot of beans AKA How Emma and I became infamous in Nyeri |
