Hi all,
I am planning a trip to Kenya a few weeks from now and i've already made arrangements for Mt Kenya, but I have still not booked a safari. I will be based at a friend's apartment in Nairobi, and don't have the time or money to do a multiple park safari trip, so I can only do a 3 or 4 day trip with two parks relatively close to each other. Sooo... I wish to do one of two things: 1) Maasai Mara and Hell's gate national park (i'm an avid mountain biker and thought this would be a cool trip, riding with the wildlife), or 2) tsavo and amboseli . First of all, does anyone have any experience with these parks and would like to share their experiences on which I would probably find the most interesting. I suppose I'm much like everyone, who wants to see as much cool and diverse wildlife as possible, but I would also appreciate other aspects as well (tranquility, low-costs, cultural experiences). I'm fairly divided between the two, and would like some input if someone can help, perhaps someone knowledgable about all these parks. Is maasai mara really that much better than the other parks in terms of wildlife?
Secondly, if someone could shoot out some names of safari companys that they have booked with that they have found to be good prices with decent quality, please mention as currently i don't have much... I'm looking for as low of a budget as possible (well, almost). Also is there a safari that rents out bikes for hell's gate?
Thanks very much for the help!
