A Memorable 5-Day Safari in Maasai Mara and Lake Naivasha - Our 5-day adventure with Flexivel Kenya Safaris, exploring the Maasai Mara and Lake Naivasha, was an extraordinary experience. The safari exceeded our expectations, offering us an up-close encounter with Africa's stunning wildlife and landscapes.
In the Maasai Mara, the game drives were the highlight of our trip. Despite some challenges posed by the heavy rains, which restricted our ability to see all of the Big Five, we were thrilled to spot three - lions, elephants, and buffaloes, in their natural habitats. The experience was exhilarating, watching these majestic animals roam freely in the vast savannah. Our driver, Joseph, was exceptional. His expertise in maneuvering the Land Cruiser through the muddy, unpaved roads ensured we had the best possible game viewing opportunities.
The last day of our safari took us to Lake Naivasha, a serene contrast to the Mara's wild landscapes. The boat ride on the lake was peaceful and offered a different perspective of Kenya’s diverse ecosystem. The visit to Crescent Island was a delightful experience, walking among the wildlife was surreal and a perfect end to our safari.
Joseph's knowledge of the terrain and his keen eye for spotting wildlife were commendable. He was not just a driver but a guide who enriched our understanding of the wilderness.
We highly recommend Flexivel Kenya Safaris for anyone looking to explore Kenya. Their attention to detail, excellent accommodation choices, and the skilled team made our safari unforgettable. We left with memories we will cherish forever and a yearning to return.

5days safari - [18/01, 9:44 pm] Fk Safaris: Our just ended 4 day, 5 day safari adventure was nothing short of exceptional. Our journey started at Lake Naivasha where we enjoyed a leisurely boat ride. The highlight was definitely the walking safari on Crescent Island, where we had the extraordinary experience of observing giraffes from an incredibly close distance. We spent our first night at Boffar Camp, a charming establishment nestled on the shores of Lake Naivasha that offers a peaceful retreat in the middle of nature.
The next three days (Days 2 to 4) were spent in the magnificent Masai Mara. This part of our trip exceeded all expectations. The Mara, with its vast beautiful landscape, was a paradise for wildlife. We had the thrill of seeing a wide variety of animals, including all of the Big Five, which was a dream come true for us. Our stay was at Mara Jambo Lodge, a place that deserves a special mention. The lodge provided the perfect blend of comfort and authenticity, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the safari experience. The game drives were expertly guided, taking us through the breathtaking scenery of the Masai Mara and providing us with close encounters with wildlife.
Special thanks to our driver guide John whose expertise and knowledge greatly enhanced our experience. He was not only informative but also ensured that all our needs were met during the trip. His presence added greatly to our enjoyment and understanding of the Mara ecosystem.
We are deeply grateful for this incredible experience and cherish every moment of our safari. The memories of this trip will undoubtedly last a Lifetime

Perfect safari experience - Our family just returned from a 4-day and 5-day safari in Kenya's Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha, and everyone agrees: it was an unforgettable experience. Flexible Safaris came highly recommended by friends who used their services and we couldn't be happier with our decision to go with them and book our safari.
From the moment we set foot in the Masai Mara, it was obvious we were in for a treat. The scenery was stunning and the amount of wildlife was incredible. David, our guide, helped make this a safari we will never forget. His ability to locate wild animals and his extensive knowledge of the local flora and fauna far exceeded our expectations.
David's love of animals shone through as he provided interesting background on each species we saw. Everywhere we went, from the lions and giraffes of the Masai Mara to the flamingos in Lake Nakuru, it looked like something out of a wildlife photographer's dream.
The peaceful beauty of Lake Naivasha and the many birds made for a nice change of pace from the more action packed reserves. David's knowledge was invaluable as he not only helped us identify the animals but also informed us about the habitats, conservation efforts and special habits of the creatures we saw.
Flexible Safari not only lived up to its name by accommodating our individual tastes and schedule, but also exceeded our expectations in terms of service and professionalism. Thanks to the thoughtful planning of our schedule and the high quality of accommodation, we were able to make the most of our time in each destination.
Finally, our Flexible Safari was the perfect combination of exciting activities, educational lessons and downtime. The scenery was breathtaking, the wildlife was abundant and our guide David made the whole trip unforgettable. If you want a unique and unforgettable safari experience in Kenya, look no further than Flexivel Safari.

An Adventure of a Lifetime - We had a fantastic time on our 5 day and 4 day safari with Flexivel Kenya Safaris. Friends who had previously traveled with the company raved about us so much that we decided to book a safari. Rachel from Flexivel was really helpful and flexible in arranging the holiday to our specifications.
David, our driver, was the real hero of the trip. He was very well versed in the parks and their fauna and had a knack for spotting animals we hadn't even considered. It was incredible to see how committed he was to making our safari the best it could be.
Each of our lodges, from the picturesque Lake Nakuru Lodge to the luxurious Mara Simba Lodge in the Maasai Mara, was first class. Our last meal together at Nairobi's Carnivore was the highlight of the trip, a sumptuous spread of succulent meat.
We couldn't have hoped for a more amazing time than this safari. Flexivel Kenya Safaris exceeded our expectations in every way and we cannot recommend them highly enough. The trip was a wonderful success and we will always cherish our time together. Don't think twice about going on safari. It is an unforgettable experience! 🌍🦁🌅🏞️🍖🚍

A Safari Adventure Beyond Imagination with Flexible Kenya Safaris 4 nights 5 days! - I just returned from a 4-night, 5-day safari with Flexivel Kenya Safaris, and I can't even begin to describe how incredible it was. You need look no further than this trip if you're an adventure buff in search of the pinnacle of wildlife encounters.
Lions, elephants, buffaloes, and more: it's the Big Five safari of a lifetime!
I knew this safari was going to be amazing from the moment we stepped foot in the magical Masai Mara. I was able to see all five members of the Big Five in their native environment over the course of four thrilling days. It was an unbelievable sight to see lions prowling, elephants strolling, and buffalo grazing alongside one another.
However, the enchantment did not end there. The arrival of two black rhinos unexpectedly demonstrates the success of current conservation initiatives. And the highlight of my interactions with nature? An unforgettable shot of a leopard in its natural habitat, munching on treetop foliage.
Lake Naivasha's Calm Waters and Lake Nakuru's Flamingo Fancy
When I arrived at Lake Nakuru National Park, I was mesmerized by the flamingos that were strewn across the lake like a sea of pink. Since I was able to see both black and white rhinos while visiting the park, I can attest to its dedication to rhino conservation.
The calm of Lake Naivasha served as an excellent counterpoint. On a boat journey, I got to see a variety of colorful birds and curious hippos up close. The tranquility of the lake served as a soothing balm to our troubled spirits.
The Safari Conductor, Joseph
Joseph, our wonderful guide and driver, deserves special recognition. His understanding of geography, biology, and ecology was remarkable. Not only did he make sure we were all right, but his enthusiasm and energy made the whole trip feel magical. Do yourself a favor and ask for Joseph when you book your safari with Flexivel Kenya Safaris; you won't be let down.
A Sad Goodbye at JKIA Airport
The end of the safari left me feeling a little blue. The magic of Kenya's bush and the friendships I made there had left their mark on me. The staff at Flexible Kenya Safaris made my departure as easy as possible, and I am very appreciative.
Plan Your Trip Now!
I would highly suggest arranging a comparable safari with Flexivel Kenya Safaris for anyone looking for an extraordinary experience. It's a chance to see some of the wild world's most spectacular sights with knowledgeable guides who know the land like the back of their hands. Get ready to be blown away, moved, and changed as much as I was. Awaiting you is a voyage.

4 nights 5 days safari on the Wild Symphony A Kenya Safari Beyond Imagination! - During our trip with FlexiKenya Safaris, a symphony of nature's finest tones rang out in the breathtaking landscape of Lake Naivasha and beyond, and it was nothing short of a masterpiece. Every moment felt like a stanza in an engaging poem, from the moment we set foot on the mythical Crescent Island, where the curious creatures welcomed us with open hearts, to the journey of the boat that carried us silently across the clear waters.
A beautiful paradise overlooking Lake Nakuru National Park, Sopa Lodge became our haven as it was tucked away in the middle of adventure. While the untamed spirit of the savannah came to life with the magnificent dancing of giraffes and the regal presence of lions, the morning tinged with the golden colors of the sunrise revealed a procession of magnificent flamingos. However, the highlight was watching the lions while hunting the buffalo; it was a visceral reminder of how beautiful and untamed nature's theater is.
Then there was the Masai Mara, a place where realism goes beyond what can be imagined. We witnessed the legendary crossing of the wildebeest, a breathtaking illustration of the cycle of life and survival. Majestic lions emerged as the dust settled, creating a primal symphony of predator and prey – a scene that will live forever in our memories.
John, a maestro himself, guided us through this beautiful tapestry of nature. His ability to uncover the secrets of the wilderness was nothing short of amazing and his knowledge seemed to know no bounds. His enthusiasm was contagious. Every move we made was a revelation with John as our compass and every interaction was a new chapter of wonder.
FlexiKenya Safaris has created a masterpiece of memories rather than just a safari. So look no further if you want to be serenaded by the wilderness, mesmerized by the dance of nature and accompanied by a guide who feels more like a friend. Let FlexiKenya Safaris be your wilderness guide to your wildest thoughts while you wait for your symphony of adventure.
I am grateful to FlexiKenya Safaris for the highlight of a lifetime.
We appreciate John being our compass in this strange constellation.

4 nights safari of Astonishing Adventures, Our Unforgettable Kenya Safari Experience! - What can I say about our amazing FlexiKenya Safaris experience? From our arrival at Lake Naivasha to our heart-pounding adventures in the Maasai Mara, each day was a magical chapter in our memories.
We felt like we were in a novel on Crescent Island, walking among peaceful creatures. The boat ride on Lake Naivasha was like gliding on a mirror, surrounded by beautiful surroundings.
When we arrived at Sopa Lodge, the scenery of Lake Nakuru National Park was breathtaking. Flamingos turned the water pink in the morning. Majestic lions and gorgeous giraffes seemed to pose for us, creating scenarios we believed only existed in documentaries.
But the Masai Mara stole the stage! The power of nature was humbled to see the huge wildebeest migration. Lions, these beautiful predators, showed strength and vulnerability in their ancient dance of life and death.
Our guide John was the heart of our trip. His vast knowledge of wildlife and terrain inspired us, but his enthusiasm electrified us. His stories, insights and passion for what he does made every insight and moment magical.
FlexiKenya Safaris gave us more than just a holiday - it gave us a lifetime memory. Thanks to them for arranging such an amazing trip and to John, our guide and companion on this fantastic expedition.
FlexibleKenya Safaris is the only name you need for an expedition, not just a holiday. Wild calls, hearts yearn, memories wait. Start your Kenyan safari story.

Living the Dream A Personal Account of Our Astonishing Kenya Safari with Flexivel Kenya Safaris in 4 nights 5 d - It takes me back to those memorable times when I read the fascinating report about our last family safari with FlexiKenya Safaris. It's not just a summary of what happened; it is an accurate representation of the awe and wonder we personally felt.
What an introduction to Crescent Island and Lake Naivasha! It was a dream come true to be surrounded by friendly animals, feel connected to nature and take a boat ride on a calm lake. From the description, it sounds like a re-creation of those special times.
I have a special place in my heart for Sopa Lodge. It was incredible to see Lake Nakuru National Park from above and it was special to wake up to flamingos turning the water pink. We actually had encounters with lions and giraffes that were like scenes from a wildlife documentary.
Our trip culminated in the Maasai Mara and reading about wildebeest migration and lions chasing buffalo reminded me of the emotional thrill we experienced there. This indeed happened; it's not an exaggeration. Not to mention John, our great guide. His expertise, his anecdotes and his enthusiasm were contagious and turned the trip into a learning experience.
It was an honor to be a part of this adventure. I can't help but remember the symphony of nature we experienced, the family togetherness we experienced and the extraordinary vacation FlexiKenya Safaris planned for us. Take my word for it: this review is not just a narrative; it is a depiction of the wonder that awaits you in Kenya.
FlexiKenya Safaris are to be commended for creating this incredible story of wonder.
I appreciate you making this adventure not only extraordinary, but extremely personal, John.

An Epic African 4 nights 5 days Escapade safari with Flexivel Kenya Safaris and Guide Ben! - Seriously, where do I even begin? Our group of six went on an unforgettable 5 day safari with flexible Kenya Safaris. We were immediately captivated by the wild beauty and charm of Lake Naivasha, Lake Nakuru National Park and the world famous Masai Mara.
Everything about the trip went smoothly, from the cozy rooms to the delicious meals that fueled us for our adventure. Let's talk about it because Guide Ben is the real MVP! His excitement filled every moment with his encyclopedic knowledge of wildlife and eyes that could see a lion's yawn from miles away.
A symphony of bird calls accompanied the calm waters of Lake Naivasha. Then we arrived at Lake Nakuru and I saw my first flamingo! The lake became a living, breathing image when swarms of these graceful creatures populated it. However, the Masai Mara was the crowning glory. Golden savannahs stretched as far as the eye could see, dotted with towering acacias and the outlines of Africa's most impressive animals.
During the Great Migration we participated in a wildebeest dance, watched the crowning of a pride of lions and spotted a cheetah on the hunt. It wasn't just about the animals though; it was also about connecting with the environment, the community and each other. We felt the warm embrace of the colorful Masai Mara culture as we sat around the campfire telling stories and laughing under the starry sky.
Our trip with flexible Kenya Safaris was more than just a holiday; it was an experience of a lifetime. This wasn't a vacation; it was an opportunity to experience the wild heart of Africa. And we will be forever grateful. Karibu sana, Flexible Kenya Safaris; you left an indelible mark on our family's history.
