Kenya is a fascinating country: ethnic's diversity, diversity of landscapes, wildlife's diversity. An ancient African culture impregnated with a  zest of English tradition.

The majority of tourists come to parks and nature reserves in the hope of making the famous big five, highlighted by Ernest Hemingway in "The Snows of Kilimanjaro".

This concept is widely used by travel agencies to the point of becoming an obsession into seeing the big five: elephant, lion, buffalo, rhino, leopard. Tourists charging the driver guide the responsibility to discover the big five expected.

This makes the group safaris stressful, everyone wants to make the big five to the point of not paying attention to other animals, landscapes, and people, and crashing into the cabin whenever we make a photo stop.

After three small group safaris in Kenya in 1983, 1990, 1995, we decided to go individually, with a tailor made tour in 2012 and 2018.

We wanted to take the time to observe what is present without discrimination. We wanted to take the time to look, admire, understand, and not just to photograph animals, but also people.

This allows you to discover how each animal dress is admirably designed, how the colors are harmoniously defined, how the wilderness is beautiful and organized, how much the reality of a country can be contrasted.

It also allows to observe the manners, habits, social rituals of animals, but also inhabitants. There is not only lions or elephants in Kenya, there are plenty of beautifull birds, gazelles and antelopes, whose coat and behaviors are exciting. How not to be subjugated by the Dik Dik who live in couples all their life to the point of dying of sorrow when one of them disappears.

There are also these fabulous African skies unavailable elsewhere. With flat clouds as if they wanted to land on top of acacias. Skies of days in constant movement and night sky with an impressive starry sky.

There are also people living in this country in often extreme conditions compared to the millions of dollars that tourism generates. Beyond the Maasai folklore, the roads leading to the reserves pass through many villages of tin cabins or planks often without windows, without electricity, without water, in which are piled up human beings who do not benefit from the fallout of this enormous business. Being aware of this reality should not prevent a nice trip. This is just another reality of this country it would be indecent to hide.

Safari in Swahili means traveling.

Kenya has aspects that few tourists notice and yet:

1. -corruption: Kenya is ranked 143 out of 180 in Transparency International's 2017 list. At all levels of the political, commercial and social ladder, corruption is endemic in this country. Everything is bought, everything is paid, the dubious financial transactions are a real scourge which participates in the development and the increase of the social injustices.
   

2. -Globalization: In 30 years of travel to Kenya, we observe the effects of globalization. Like everywhere in the world, the gap between the very rich, the rich and the poor is widening.
   

In recent years (in 2012, even more so in 2018) we are seeing an impressive increase in misery. It stretches along the roads we take, suggesting that inland it should not be better. A majority of Kenyan villagers live in precarious conditions, not even having a subsistence level. Tax officials travel the country roads in search of government taxes that all citizens must pay (a woman who sells three onions and ten tomatoes at the side of the road must pay a tax). The state even levies taxes on the cultivation and sale of Kat (miraa).

Rates for travel agencies, hotels, and admissions to national parks have been multiplied by 3 in a few years. This does not seem to improve the living conditions of Kenyans. Hotel employees, agricultural laborers, roadmenders are not better paid. Apart from a few roads, the majority of the road system is poorly maintained or not maintained. Care services, schools are not developed as they should. The government relies on NGOs to provide these services.

So where goes the money come from tourism and exports?

- Chinese neo-colonization: As in Europe and in many African countries, China buys land, services, and buildings belonging to the national heritage in order to make huge profits and feed a people in perpetual growth.

In the 80s / 90s, China was the origin of poaching, which emptied the reserves of its ivory for jewels and other objects, and rhinoceros horns for its anguish of virility.

In recent years, China has been present on much more sensitive fronts: the purchase of agricultural land, the purchase of businesses, the purchase of hotels and lodges, the construction of roads and railway lines. Gradually putting the countries it colonizes in a state of dependence, even submission. Signs are in English and Chinese, slogans appear in the countryside, locomotives and wagons are Chinese, all the building materials come from China, even the cement is made in Chinese factories. Totalitarian imperialism is at work.

Kenya, which had freed itself from the British in 1963, is being colonized by China. God save Xi Jinping !

- Religion: This year, more than in previous years, we were surprised to see how fast and how much religion is taking hold. On the roads we have traveled, about every 1000 meters there is a church: Baptist, Redemptionist, Pentecostal, Evangelical, Renewal, Salvation, Good Hope and all that can make believe in a better place.

1. ✴ Being a pastor is a sinecure: A pastor does not need to work, he and his family (wife and children) are maintained by the parishioners. It is the faithful who make them live and provide for their needs: from the smartphone to the house, through food. The woman does not need to get the water from the well, it is brought. We saw a pastor ask for a tree to be cut down in his garden. When asked why he does not do it himself, he says it's because he's a pastor.
   

In villages where people have almost nothing, it is shocking. If one is lazy and talkative, pastor is a lucrative profession. Hence their proliferation.

1. ✴ Religion is the opium of the people said Karl Marx, on this point he is not wrong. All those people who have nothing and who live in inhuman conditions are naive to the point of believing that there will be better days and that in the meantime a god thinks of them and loves them.
   

They are told that they must learn to accept their misery, it is a test that will make them stronger, when pastor do not go so far as to say that this misery is sent to them to expiate sins. The faithful are mostly women, old men, children and men "lost". With lenient words, invoking a benevolent god who does not seem very effective, ceremonies and rituals that can eventually foster collective hysteria, pastors bring villagers to survive, head in the stars. Convinced that god is at their side, that he will take care of them in a future paradise, the villagers do not think anymore to revolt against the humans who exploit them, against a society that marginalizes them, against a government that does not take care of them. As in many religions, they end up submitting to the divine will ! This benefits the state that makes no concessions to the opposition.

We had the choice between Swiss and Emirates, the two companies reliable and affordable and therefore of our region.

We chose Swiss because the flight plan and landing is shorter than that of Emirates. Value for money/schedule is in our opinion the best company on the destination.

We contacted three agencies referenced: Sunbreak Tours, Leboo, African Eagle, and two small agencies Julius, Tanke Tours.

For a circuit of 14 days, with similar hotels, the difference in rates is $ 2,000 (Sunbreak and Julius) $ 1500 to African Eagle and Leboo with Tanke Tours who is the cheapest.

African Eagle required to travel in convoy. We are individuals, but we have to follow other buses.

Leboo imposes its own hotels, lodges and certain steps, which are certainly correct, but it does not correspond to our request "tailor made".

Based on many positive feedbacks views on various forums, including Tripadvisor we choosed Tanke Tours.

Tanke Tours is a young tourist agency with 5 years of existence (2012), managed by a dynamic young woman, methodical and reliable ;

Caroline Nduku Nthiwa.

Although it is not affiliated with Kato, like most Kenyan agencies Tanke Tours is a professional agency in the way it is in good standing with the authorities and the administration of the country for this type of activity:

- Statement of the business, license tourism (Ministry of Tourism), vehicle insurance (The Monarch Insurance Company), proof of travel permits and conduct public transport vehicles.

- Unlike some agencies (well known) and perhaps because of her youth, the vehicles are recent models Toyota Hiace current, wider and higher than the old, in good condition, well maintained. The tires are practically new. Toyota are more comfortable than the Nissan that we had the opportunity to practice previously.

- The exchange mails are responsive and clear. Caroline occupies herself management, reservations and construction programs.

She suggests steps, hotels, but let the customer choose.

- The final contract is clear, and from payment of the deposit, the selected hotels are confirmed.

- The content of the contract is fulfilled to the letter, which allows us to say:  they write what they do and they do what they write.

- A day safari consists of either two game drives from 07:00 to 12:00 and from 16h to 18h30 = 7:30 of game drives / day or a full day game drive from 07:00 to 16:00 = 9:00 for game drive with picnic at the heart of reserve, in a sufficiently clear area to anticipate the approach of an animal.

- Bottles of mineral water are available in a cooler( without ice) for the duration of the safari.

In addition to the professionalism she shares with her most serious competitors, Tanke Tours has features that make the difference:

1. -their prices allow small budgets to make fabulous trips,
   

2. -Tanke Tours offers homestays in Akamba country, far from the "folklore for tourists." Authentic accommodation and contacts, unforgettable off tracks.
   

3. -Caroline is involved in local life: part of her income is used to help the village. It is interesting to know that villagers benefit from some redistribution. Caroline is also involved in the creation and operation of an orphanage.
   

we recommend this agency quietly.   http://www.tanketours.com/

We went on fabulous safaris with him. He always gave us the impression that we had time, that we could take the time to observe the animals. He often changed places so that we have different angles of view in relation to a scene.

Quality that other drivers do not have, he was at heart to make us discover villages, small markets. He liked to put us in touch with people. He showed us a Masai village which was not a paying museum for tourists. He had a way of organizing the days that allowed to do what was planned and to make some unforeseen.

Nice, helpful, attentive, smiling.

- he is prudent, both on the roads, the track, and the observation of animals. He knows the good tracks.

He has a good knowledge of animals, their mores and their social rituals. He tells anecdotes about each animal with a lot of humor, with sound effects and imitations ...

- He has a developed knowledge of birds, which should be part of safaris so they are interesting.

- He anticipates the stops according to the frame, the light, the scene. He has invaluable advice on the angle of view.

Always in a good mood, he has a good perception of the people he supports and knows how to bounce according to the personality of each. Never familiar (many drivers are quick to play buddy), he listens to his customers and knows how to be open when expressing special requests.  Thanks to him we made our best trip to Kenya.

In 2018 Lucky (M'Lacky) driver between medium and poor. Familiar from the start, he pretend to be always in a good mood.

- When the husband answers he asks the opinion of the woman insisting that she is not obliged to be in the opinion of his companion. Funny game ! Why ask our opinion if it is to counter systematically?

- He has deleted or cut several game drives for reasons of timing that are not justified. He does the maintenance of the vehicle (oilchange then lubrication) on the time of the customers. We are convinced that it is to have larger resting schedules.

- During games drive he tends to stay on the main tracks, pretending that he prefers to be alone, the other vehicles going on the tracks annexes.

- Several times we have doubted his honesty: when he proposes to change money to my disadvantage, when he asks to entrust to him the money that we must give to a local guide under the pretext that the police could cause problems, when he gives fake explanations on some things we know, as for the pyrethrum fields.

1. -Having learned that I had indigestion in a hotel because of the food, he told me that to stay healthy, I have to drink my wife's urine on an empty stomach every morning. And the next day he asks me if I did what he told me.
   

Maybe we can not appreciate his "heavy" humor, but what certain is that we saw a lot less animals with him than with the other drivers.

I do not recommend him and I do not understand the favorable reviews he enjoys on Tripadvisor.

1. ★ The first thing to know when you go to Kenya if using U.S. dollars is no bank, no money changer, no hotel, no park does
   

not accept dollars that the serial number is less than 2000. It is important to check the serial number of each note that the bank or stockbroker gives you and reject those that are before.

1. ★ In August 2012 and 2018, it is possible to obtain a visa on arrival at Kenyan airport for € 40 or $ 50. It takes 5 minutes after completing the form. No photo required, the immigration employee has a camera connected to his computer and a digital camera that records the fingerprints of both hands.
   

2. ★ The change in August 2012 is 97 to 99 khs for 1 euros in august 2012 111/113 ksh for 1€. in higher class hotels, it is indexed to the price charged by Forex is the best course. Mid-Range hotels practice lower rates.
   

We note that as in most countries who live mainly from tourism, the rate of euro is still lower than in high season as low season, which sometimes fell to be a lemon squeezed.

1. ★In 10 years of interval we observe that the prices of lodges and hotels have more than doubled, to which is added the fact that the majority of the hotels double their price in high season, putting the accomodations notably those which are in inside reserves beyond the reach of average budgets. Kenya is gradually becoming a luxury destination, whose spin-offs are more of an elite than the people. As for tourists, average budgets and small budgets must be content with accommodation outside the reserve, often tended camps, whose quality is often inadequate with prohibitive rates.
   

2. ★When going through a local Tour Operator, either it offers a classic package, or we customize a program according to what we want to do. In this case it is important to have a clear idea of what you want to do from the beginning. Any change-hotel-step-duration will systematically result in a quote increase of at least $ 200 per person, if the change is aimed at lowering the quote, it will never exceed $ 200 less for two.
   

3. ★ A safari in Kenya is not just a game of poker : Not only must you be lucky in terms of animal observation, but you must also be lucky in terms of the quality of the driver. You have to be with the right person in the right place at the right time. Whatever the driver, if there is no lion in the area where we go, there is no risk of seeing.
   

All friendly and smiling, the drivers are not equal in terms of safari. In Kenya, as in many countries, most drivers derive their "glory" from chance. They ride on tracks in search of what customers have come for. You come across a herd of elephants, zebras or impalas, more rarely on a lion and even more rarely on a leopard.

If you or him see a leopard happens, you think the driver is great, but it's a coincidence that's great. You went to the right place at the right time.

Not being specialists of a reserve, or only frequenting them a few times a year, they do not know the particular territories of certain animals and even less their movements.

Apart from the chance that is often good things, they spot the crowd of vehicles that mean something is happening there ...

That's why we end up with 20 vehicles around two cheetahs, arriving always in 10th or 14th position.

If they remember having seen animals in one place, this does not mean that the animals we are looking for are there when we arrive. They are in principle connected with the other drivers by radio, and would inform during stays in the lodges. Fewer and fewer drivers report the right spots. Many only inform their friends. There are sometimes ethnic rivalries.

Ideal is to take a local ranger or local guide for safaris in the main reserves: Meru, Samburu, Masia Mara, Tsavo, Taita Hills. It does not cost much: $ 20 to $ 30 to negotiate for a full day (6:30 to 18:00). The local ranger or guide is assigned to a reserve. He travels regularly with customers, he knows the territories of animals and follows their changes of territories.

This can not be done by a driver who only comes one to four times a year to a reserve.

1. ★ 4x4 or minibus : from the reserves prohibit off-piste and in the dry season, we do not see any need to rent a 4x4. In Masai Mara when it rains or if you want to go off-tracks safari with a Masai driver, this is a good option. If not, this is an unnecessary expense. Minibuses are very well adapted to different tracks and situations. We see the same animals and there is the same scenes as those who took a 4x4. The off-piste is still practiced through giving large envelopes to park authorities, for those who want to play the "Out of Africa".
   

2. ★ CB or not CB(radio): All minibuses are equipped with CB. But fewer drivers communicate tips. Ethnic rivalries, companies rivalries rarely make it interesting information flow. Most are made by friends and by mobile phone. Although not speaking Swahili, we observed that the incessant noise coming out of CB concerns more private messages from friends who give news, or drivers who take their positions to make appointments at a later step. We are not convinced that the CB is really useful except in case of failure or danger. For us it was an inconvenience in the way we would liked to enjoy the sounds of nature.
   

3. ★ After our safari in Kenya in 1985, 1990, 1995, we observe a significant decrease in the number of animals, with the exception
   

of wildebeest and elephants since 1990. Climate change, it would be warmer, there is less rain, poaching seems to have taken

the scale because of the poverty and political unrest in neighboring countries.

1. ★ It is important to sleep under a mosquito net effective (without holes or opening). Many lodges cut electricity at night, so no diffuser. Most lodges are equipped. Not all those who are and do not always take care to check tightness. We travel with our own, to overcome when they are absent or deficient. Model recommended by the OMS. Light (400gr) it folds very easily. (Net Totem Pharmavoyage)
   

1. ★ Practical informations:
   

- Photographs: better game drives start at 06:30 and finish at 11am, and afternoon from 15:30 to 18:00. Before and after the colors are bland. From 11h to 16h the majority of animals are stunned by the heat and hide in the shade. Skies are often covered from 10:30 to 16:00 either completely or with alternations of light and shade that affect the white balance. Given these observations, the full day game drive is not a good solution for an amateur photographer.

1. -The prices of "ethnic souvenirs" are much higher in the many "curio shops" that bloom along the roads and tracks than in hotels' shops, even chic (except Lion's Bluff Lodge which is expensive). In the hotels'shops they are fixed but still relatively low. In the "curio shop", they are very high and remains so even after haggling.
   

2. -Bottled water is 70/80Ksh (€ 0.66) per liter in supermarkets, 200-300 Ksh 1/2 liter in hotels and lodges means, khs 230 hotels in liter-lodges superiors.
   

3. -The coffee served in taverns along the road is in nescafe pod. It costs 50khs if accompanied by the driver, and 100 khs (1 €!) If you are alone !
   

4. -Liter of petrol 109khs and diesel 96 khs.
   

5. -The average salary for employee is 15000 khs (140 €) to 25000 khs (€ 230) per month, depending on qualifications and whether working in a big city or a small town .

☁ We did not like

1. ✴ Incivility of new tourists, all generations. In 1983, 1990 and even in 1995, when walking on lodges' trails, and meeting someone, whatever the nationality, we welcomed. When arrived in the dining room, we greeted the people who were already seated, with a smile or a hello, or good morning, and a lot of answered. When returning from safari, we wondered what each had seen.
   

In 2012, and more in 2018 everyone is in a bubble. Others no longer exist. Thank you face book, ipad, ipod and others tools from new era of communication. Everything is so virtual that people become transparent, except themselves making selfies.

1. ✴ The sometimes "brutal" way to do with the hotel staff who jump over to take our luggage, sometimes our bags and take them to the room, often being two to carry two small suitcases (I carry them alone) just to reach a tip.
   

Some of them wait early morning in front of the door of the room, so as not to miss an opportunity.

It is the Hotels companies that manage to pay employees correctly and not visitors. (See Guide du Routard  - Kenya 2012 p 42)

1. ✴ The way some servers talk to us in some lodges: Hello my friend is more a sign of a lack of education than a sign of proximity. Nothing justifies this familiarity, especially as many servers remain respectful.
   

2. ✴ The constant pressure imposed by Mr Lucky, with the feeling of having made our trip of 2018 running without ever reaching a goal, and to wonder if there are really fewer animals in Kenya or if it is him who does not know the good tracks.
   

3. ✴ How the tables are allocated at the restaurant in some lodges: in general, except in the case of booking, going to the restaurant when we choose the table where you want to sit depending on availability. The later having less choice and sometimes no choice. In Kenya, which comes first or last is not you choose your table. It is provided to you by a server, and you keep it for the duration of your stay. We Never came to a table with a view of the outside or the pond for animals, although they are often free one to two hours after our arrival, we tried to understand. We asked if we had to book ... nobody is able to answer. Surprising. Is this still a story of tips?
   

4. ✴Visit the Mara Bridge: outside the migration and supposing it passes this point, irrelevant. There are one or two crocodiles and few hippos. But: rangers armed with automatic weapons have become accustomed to impose on the vehicle exit, claiming they are there for our safety, citing the presence of rebels or dangerous animal attacks. This is a ripp off. They are there for the tip. 10 years ago there was only a ranger who ensured that the tourists did not go too much near the river, without asking for money. Today it has become a business.To avoid.
   

5. ✴ The reserve of Ol Pajeta who despite the glowing articles of many paper guides, seems to be a scam for tourists. There are a lot fewer animals than elsewhere, and when you see them it's always from a distance. Expensive and without interest.
   

6. ✴The Nakuru and Amboseli reserves, disfigured by rising lake waters. Many areas and tracks that were interesting for the observation of animals have disappeared. Compared to other reserves, safaris have become much less interesting. For the lake atmosphere, better go to Bogoria, Baringo or Navaisha.
   

♥ Our "ideal" itinerary for a first trip to Kenya: Private minibus, "a la carte", with a local TO.

Day 1 Nairobi - Meru                             1 game drive afternoon

Day 2 Meru                                          2 game drives

Day 3 Meru - Samburu                          1 game drive afternoon

Day 4 Samburu                                     2 game drives             

Day 5 Samburu - Lac Bogoria (ou Navaisha)    visit the lake region with its birds, flamingos, geysers

Day 6 Lac Bogoria ou Navaisha - Masai Mara   long road

Day 7 Masai Mara                                 2 game drives ou 1 full day game drive with picnic

Day 8 Masai Mara                                 1 full day game drive with picnic

Day 9 Masai Mara - Nairobi ou Naivasha  visit of Karen Blixen's house (if Nairobi) or Navaisha lake

Day 10 Nairobi ou Naivasha -Taita Hills  1 game drive l'après midi.

Day 10 Taita Hills - Nairobi                    1 game drive morning et road to Niarobi or Mombassa

Possibility of taking a day out of Samburu and adding it to Meru to visit the surrounding area: Gatwe and its hill, the famous tea plantations and their farms, the Kiegoi Tea Factory.

If you want to add one or two days (12 days): an extra day in Meru, to visit the region: Gatwe and its hill, the famous tea plantations and their farms, the factory Kiegoi Tea Factory.

One day can be added to Tsavo West (Epiya Chapeyu Tented Camp) for another experience in an authentic camp

If one day has to be removed, Bogoria's would be the least penalizing.

We can also devote two days (12 or 14 days) to Kyevaluki to share the daily life of the inhabitants.

The trees hotels (Aberdares, Mount Kenya, Simba Hill), the reserve of Tsavo East present less guarantee of wonder for a first trip, to reserve for another trip ....

Private Ol Pajeta style reserves are "Thoiry" in larger. The owners have bought the species of interest (big five) that they keep jealously locked in a park large enough to believe that it is a nature reserve.

This is a trend that comes from South Africa and Namibia.

As for Hells Gate, where you can hike and ride a bike while watching antelopes, zebras and giraffes, this is an old activity that has become fashionable. For selfie lovers! That's all we see on the web.
