Amazing 6-Day Safari – especially thanks to Samuel!
We had an amazing six-day safari through Maasai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli National Park with Perfect Safaris Africa.
Our journey started in Nairobi before heading to the Maasai Mara, where we spent several game drives searching for wildlife. The Mara was definitely one of the highlights of the trip – we had incredible wildlife encounters, got some amazing opportunities for photos and experienced the beautiful landscapes of the reserve. We also had the opportunity to visit a Maasai village, which was an interesting addition to the safari.
After the Maasai Mara, there was also the optional opportunity to visit Lake Naivasha. We decided to do it and went on a boat safari on the lake. It was a completely different experience from the game drives, with lots of birdlife, hippos and beautiful scenery from the water.
We then continued to Lake Nakuru National Park, which again offered a completely different landscape and wildlife experience.
The final part of our safari took us to Amboseli National Park, famous for its elephants and views of Mount Kilimanjaro. Seeing elephants with Kilimanjaro rising in the background was one of the most memorable moments of our entire Kenya trip.
A huge reason why we enjoyed the safari so much was our guide and driver, Samuel. He was friendly, reliable and professional throughout all six days. His knowledge of the parks and wildlife was excellent, and he explained a lot about the animals, the parks and Kenya along the way. He always made an effort to find great wildlife sightings and good positions for photos, while keeping the whole trip relaxed and enjoyable.
We also really appreciated how well Samuel took care of the practical side of the trip. At the end of the safari, he organized a taxi for us that took us directly to our hotel in Nairobi, making the end of the journey completely stress-free.
Overall, this was an unforgettable six-day safari and one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Kenya. Maasai Mara, the optional Lake Naivasha experience, Lake Nakuru and Amboseli all offered something different, which made the itinerary varied from beginning to end.
A special thank you to Samuel for taking such good care of us and making these six days such a great experience. We would absolutely recommend this safari!

Great experience!
We had a fantastic time in the Maasai Mara. We were neatly picked up at our hotel and taken to a meeting point in the center. That went very messy. Half of them didn't have the money in cash, so they still had to go to an ATM. Finally departed from Nairobi at 9 o'clock. Because of this, we had lunch on the way instead of at the lodge. This lunch was not as tasty as the food at the lodge. The afternoon game drive was great. Samuel did his best to show as much as possible. The whole day drive was also perfect. Seen many times. On the last day we were brought back to Nairobi at a gas station. We had to take an Uber back to the hotel. (Incidentally paid by the guide).

Amazing safari ~ HAKUNA MATATA
Amazing experience. We enjoyed the safari, the colours, the wildness of Kenya. I was gratefully surprised to watch 3 of the big five, however it wasn't just that. I loved the landscape, the quiet, the nature and all the fauna, even the uglier one.
I would like to thanks my guide, Samuel, without him, wouldn't be the same. He's a excellent driver, perfect guide and he finds and explains you the animals, the Masai culture and general information about Kenya and Masai Mara reserve.
Also, the good and warm kenyan cuisine of the Rhino Camp embrace you in all the journey.

Best safari
Fantastic experience. A safari that allows you to admire the colors of Africa, the reserves, the landscapes, and all its wild nature. We found a really great company, but above all an experienced and friendly guide, Samuel. Samuel allowed us to see the animals just a palm's length away, telling us curiosities about Kenya, its wildlife, and the local populations, like the Maasai. A note of merit also goes to the Rhino Camp that hosted us and welcomed us with its excellent cuisine.
Absolutely recommended!
