Viajar a Kenia: safaris, rutas y consultas generales ✈️ Foro África del Este ✈️ p06 ✈️

Gracias Spainsun,
Y respecto a la ultima frase de Wanderlust, entre Samburu y Amboseli hay muchisima diferencia? cual me recomiendas?

Hola chicos!
Estoy organizando un viaje a Kenia con un buen grupo de amigos, en total somos 12 personas!
No resulta anda facil pues cada uno tiene su propia idea de vacaciones, así que hemos decidido combinar safari con unos días de playa.
Lo haremos a finales de agosto y hemos encontrado un vuelo muy conveniente a Nairobi.
Mi idea es salir con un safari desde Nairobi terminando en la costa, pues el alojamiento lo tendremos en el Parque de Watamu.
He solicitado itinerario y presupuesto a una empresa local (siguiendo las recomendaciones del foro) y me han organizado un safari que dura 6 noches.
1)Nairobi-Lago Nakuru
2)Lago Nakuru-Amboseli
3)Amboseli
4)Amboseli-Tsavo West
5)Tsavo West
6)Tsavo West-Malindi
Total 1000 euros por persona. Que os parece? Esta bien de precio? El itinerario es interesante? (no he hecho nunca un safari así que creo que me emocionarà a priori)

La cuestion es que algunos de los compañeros de viaje quieren acortar el Safari, hacerlo en 4 noches!!!
Es aconsejable? Se puede hacer o es una locura?
Me da miedo que acortando la duración pasemos todo el tiempo metidos en el coche sin tiempo para parar y disfrutar del safari.
Otro compañero propone ir directamente a Watamu y hacer un safari corto desde allí por los alrededores, que pensais?
En fin, tengo que intentar agradar a todos para que no desistan en la idea de Kenia.

Muchas gracias!!!

Muchas gracias crack! Esas agencias las podemos encontrar por nairobi? Ya que en dos días nos vamos y no creo que les de tiempo a cobtestar? Ya contare como a ido la aventura jeje, tb veo que es epoca de lluvias espero que no sea un inpedimento para disfrutar de Kenia. Saludos!

Buenos días!

Estamos preparando un safari a Kenia / Tanzania para Julio de 15 días.

Hemos planteado una ruta circular (pasar de Masai Mara a Serengeti) a muchas agencias, pocas nos lo ofrecen y otras nos suben muchisimo el presupuesto.

Ustedes que opinan? Es mucha carretera pasar de Masai Mara a Serengeti?

Queriamos hacer la ruta abajo en este orden:

Nairobi
Samburu
Lago Nakuru
Masai Mara (2 días)
Serengeti (2 días)
Ngorongoro
Lago Manyara
Tarangire
Kilimanjaro (subida al campamento Base del Kili)
Amboselli
Nairobi

¿Como lo ven?

Muchas gracias!

Hola viajeros!!
Luego de haber escrito a mas de 10 agencias de safaris en Kenia (todas las recomendadas aquí en la primera pagina), me han respondido algunas y de ellas he escogido las 3 mas económicas y que me daban un itinerario acorde a los que queríamos y a nuestro presupuesto.

La verdad es que estoy muy perdida en cuanto a cuál ed estas tres es mejor en cuanto a empresa, a alojamientos etc. No se que otra cosa debería tener en cuenta a la hora de elegir uno. Cual ven mejor???
