Awe-inspiring, breathtaking, exhilarating, beautiful.
These are just some of the adjectives that could be used to describe Kenya.
Given the opportunity, everyone should visit Kenya at least once in their
life.
I can thoroughly & wholeheartedly recommend a trip with Masai Mara and the
team at Essands Safaris whether its a trek in the wilderness or a safari you
are after - both were fantastic experiences made all the more enjoyable
almost encyclopaedia-like knowledge of the country, its history, flora &
wildlife. If you are thinking about going, don't think - just do it and do
it with Essands Safaris!

Kenya is majestic with its vast savannah planes, animal rich national
parks, dramatic mountain ranges and coastal oddities.
After obsessing over the internet about which operator would be best to take
my teenage son and I on safari, I came across Essands Safaris. I
loved the honesty of their personal descriptions on the website, that fact
they were Kenyan born and bred, their company a local one.
My brief was simply for wild life and wilderness, and a little luxury in
with the rough. Essands Safaris then assembled, all within 48 hours,
what was to become that trip of a lifetime.
I couldn't have dreamt of such a stunning holiday and for that I truly thank
our guide James of Essands Safaris. He shared his amazing knowledge
of Kenya with generous abandon, took us to places that felt as though no
person had been before, where mountain zebra trotted about and giraffe and
desert elephants roamed free. We treasured this extraordinary bloke with the
driest of humour, compassion, and love of life. He transformed a holiday
into a rare and wonderful travelling experience.
My advice to you, potential traveller, is save yourself loads of hassle.
Look no further; dig a bit deeper into your pocket, give the guys your
travel dates and a couple of hints, and let them to it. Trust me. It doesn't
get any better than this. Enjoy.

A guided safari is not cheap - if you want cheap, go to Spain. This is
for those who want a holiday to remember for life.
You have to pick the right kind of company and the right kind of people if
you want a truly magical African experience. We would not hesitate to
recommend Essands Safaris for anyone interested in following in our
footsteps.

A young company prepared to go the extra mile to deliver a great
experience to customers who set their holiday expectations high
We went to Kenya in search of an authentic African safari experience which
did not involve exposing ourselves to the chaos and dangers which are so
prevalent in other parts of the Continent. In that respect, Kenya really
delivered.
So did Essands Safaris who we picked to take us on a guided safari.
They were recommended to us as a young company prepared to go the extra mile
to deliver a great experience to customers who set their holiday
expectations high. That is exactly what they did.
The itinerary that we asked Essands Safaris to work up sought to
combine a few consecutive days camping with the occasional return to
civilisation in an upmarket lodge. It worked really well. We also covered a
lot of ground and saw a lot of game and some stunning landscape without ever
feeling that we were cooped up for too long in the 4x4.
Andrew, our guide on safari, was the ultimate multi-tasker acting as an
extremely competent chauffeur, chef, quartermaster, mechanic, housekeeper
game ranger and raconteur to a demanding urban family of 4 for 10 days.
