What people love about Active Tours in Kenya
- 4 Days Masai Mara Wildlife Safari Adventure
Traveling with kids can be tricky, but Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris made it so easy! James, our guide, was patient and engaging with our children. They loved the chance to see flamingos at Lake Nakuru and the thrilling game drives in Masai Mara. The lodges were family-friendly and comfortable, and the meals were excellent. A perfect blend of adventure and relaxation for families!
- 3 Day Masai Mara Wildlife Safari Adventure
It's an amazing 3 days experience! In a single day, we witnessed the migration of thousands of wildebeest, a huge herd of leopards and elephants. On the second day, we had an incredible game drive - watching a group of lions preparing to hunt, seeing hippos resting in a river, and even spotting a rare leopard! Accommodation was comfortable and the food was good. The experience of sitting next to the campfire in the evening and talking and watching the night masai die in the light of the stars was truly unique.
In October 2023 I went on a group tour with Indy Escapes to Kenya. I don’t usually like group tours so I was a little apprehensive. Would I get to experience the real Kenya? What if I didn’t gel with the rest of the group? I had nothing to worry about. The trip was phenomenal, in fact it sits up there with the top trips I’ve ever been on. The tour leader, Lucas Chesterton, was fabulous. We had a truly immersive experience working with NGOs in Nairobi and before then heading to the Masai Mara on safari. The group was fun, the pace was right and I enjoyed Lucas’s guiding style so much that I then booked a second trip with him for 2024. I could not recommend Lucas and Indy Escapes any more highly.
