We had a great drive from Nairobi to the Maasai Mara National Reserve. Saw lots of animals, elephants, lions, baboons, zebra, you name it. The accommodations were top-notch, and the staff were courteous at every step. Highly recommended, especially if you want a safari in Kenya and don't have a lot of time to prearrange it.

The guide drove us from Nairobi to Masai Mara. It's a long six hours and a difficult trip because the road is horrendous. The hotel we stayed at was GORGEOUS: the room was beautiful and we had a balcony that overlooked a stream where we could see hippo prints. We heard them at night, but it was too dark to see them. While sitting on the balcony, I saw a family of baboons and about two dozen mongooses cross the stream. We were only there for three game drives, but we saw all of the big eight except a leopard; we even saw a male lion. Everyone is incredibly friendly and the resort offers international cuisine, so you can always find something to eat. I would highly recommend this safari to anyone.

Had a great trip. Was awesome seeing the wild animals, farms and the African culture. Two bad things though. The hideous roads and food poisioning. Our guide was great and a cool guy. Went out of his way to show us all. Thanks.
