Outstanding Kenya Trip Experience with PickYourTrails We recently completed an amazing trip to Kenya with PickYourTrails, traveling as a family with my wife and young son, and I can confidently say they did a fantastic job from start to finish. Right from the planning stage, the team gave us multiple options for stays, places to visit, and experiences, paying attention to even the smallest details. The itinerary was customized exactly to our preferences, and they patiently kept refining it until we were fully satisfied. Everything felt well-planned, smooth, and stress-free. I would especially like to appreciate three people who made this trip truly special: 1. Preksha (Front-End Team): She was extremely patient and took the time to genuinely understand what kind of holiday we were looking for. Based on our preferences, she suggested options that matched our expectations perfectly. Her calm approach and attention to detail made the planning process very comfortable. 2. Shreyah Krishna (Back-End Team): She handled the execution and follow-ups brilliantly. Her coordination was excellent, and she ensured everything went smoothly throughout the trip. Very hands-on, proactive, and clearly someone who knows how to manage things well. 3. David Agisu (Driver & Guide): David was exceptional. He made sure we saw all the animals we hoped for, was incredibly patient with my son, and answered every question with enthusiasm. His knowledge, kindness, and professionalism truly enhanced our safari experience. I would highly recommend him. Overall, PickYourTrails delivered a memorable, well-organized, and family-friendly Kenya holiday. I would happily recommend them to anyone planning an international trip, especially safaris in Africa.pari raja, Trip to Kenya

Explore the diverse landscapes and vibrant cultures of Kenya with this immersive 12-night adventure. From the bustling streets of Nairobi to the breathtaking savannahs of Maasai Mara, this budget itinerary offers a unique blend of wildlife experiences and cultural encounters. I remember the thrill of watching elephants roam freely in their natural habitat and gasping as a lioness lounged under the shade of an acacia tree. Each moment brings you closer to the heart of this incredible country.

Highlights of the Destination

  • Nairobi - Known as the Green City in the Sun, it is a vibrant hub teeming with activities, wildlife parks, and cultural experiences.
  • Maasai Mara - Famous for the Great Migration, this reserve is home to diverse wildlife including the Big Five.
  • Elephant Sanctuary - Get up close with rescued elephants and learn about their rehabilitation, while supporting conservation efforts.
  • Kiambethu Tea Farm - Experience the lush tea gardens and the rich history of Kenya's tea industry during a refreshing farm tour.

Travel Tips for Kenya

  • Always carry local currency (Kenyan Shillings) for small purchases and tips.
  • Stay hydrated and use sunscreen; the sun can be intense in many areas.
  • Respect local customs; learning a few words in Swahili can go a long way.
  • Be open to trying new foods; Kenyan cuisine is delicious and reflects its rich cultural diversity.

Conclusion

This 12-night journey through Kenya will leave you with lasting memories and a deep appreciation for its stunning landscapes and friendly people. Whether you're immersed in a traditional dance at the Bomas of Kenya or enjoying a serene boat ride on Lake Naivasha, every moment is a chance to connect with the essence of this beautiful country. Pack your bags for an adventure that blends wildlife, culture, and unforgettable experiences.

I had booked a trip with Pickyourtrail to visit Nairobi and Masai Mara in Kenya. I was super impressed with the overall booking and travel experience. These guys were super co-operative and understanding in suggesting multiple hotels to suit our budget. They were very patient in explaining all the documentation and vaccine requirements. Pickyourtrail also connected us with excellent English speaking contacts on the ground in Kenya, especially the guide who pretty much took care of our entire Masai Mara trip.Overall, a complete hassle-free experience. I would highly recommend Pickyourtrail to anyone who is planning their international trips.
