Unforgettable Adventures: Exploring Malindi, Watamu Beach, and Masai Mara on Two Incredible Safaris

I went on two of the cultural treks, Malindi/Watatmu Beach Safari and Masai Mara Game Reserve Safari, and had an amazing time! Both trips were well thought out and organized. There was just the right combination of planned events and free time during the program.

Masai Mara Safari and Watamu Beach Safari: Truly Life-Changing, Once-in-Lifetime Experiences

I participated in both the Watamu Beach Safari and the Maasai Mara Safari, and I have only amazing things to say about both! At the beach safari, there was never a time to be bored. I enjoyed every activity that was planned and I loved learning more about Kenya along the way. The visit to Waka Waka Island was by far my favorite, and I had an incredible time learning about their culture! Overall, the beach safari was a great break on the weekend, and I recommended it to everyone! The Maasai Mara safari was one of the most life-changing and incredible experiences of both my trip and my life. It surpassed my expectations, and I found myself speechless as I drove through the reserve. My favorite part was visiting the Maasai tribe in the village, and I teared up because of how thankful I was to have experienced such a beautiful tribe and people. Again, I was never bored on this safari, and I have a HUGE thank you to Shady, our tour guide, throughout the entire safari!

Absolutely Incredible Experience During the Masai Mara Safari!

The Masai Mara safari was absolutely incredible! There were a lot of bugs at night, but I don't think that could be improved because we stayed in a very nice camp. Bugs are to be expected when you camp in nature. The Mara was so beautiful and being able to experience and watch the animals with my own eyes was breathtaking and surreal. I especially enjoyed visiting the Maasai village and meeting people of the tribe. Being immersed in their culture was one of my favorite experiences my whole entire trip to Kenya.
