This video gives a very good overview of the wildlife parks in Kenya. However, it provides only little information about the culture and society of Kenya.

Not enough real Kenya, like Mombasa, Nairobi, Lamu etc - too much commerial advertisment - nice shots in general.

This is a very basic video with less than ideal production values. Besides showing some wildlife, there is scant information about culture or other areas of interest to tourists. Only a handful of tourist facilities are highlighted and no real information is provided other than their websites. A big disappointment. I recommend looking at National Geographic offerings instead; at least there you will be getting the best of the wildlife and scenic footage.

Well worth having in your DVD collection. It was totally as described in the write up, a wildlife focused journey through wild parts of Kenya and a good look at other activities one might not consider when going to Africa. I am an animal enthusiast so I was very pleased to see all the wild animal footage--with lots of variety beyond the big five! The narration was particularly informative about Kenya and it scenic national wildlife areas and wildlife, as well as places to go and things to do. Didn't want this one to end. It was like being there. Am getting the updated version "Safari Kenya' to add to my collection too. Big plus: the DVD is 3 times as long as most similiar DVD's that I have seen!

LOVED this DVD! This is a MUST HAVE if you are planning a trip to Kenya and also for folks like me who just love Africa. It gives a great feel for Kenya, the wildlife areas,the animals and safari vacation activities.I really felt like I was there on my own Kenya safari. I thought the DVD was very complete showing the many spectacular places like African bush, mountains and even beaches that a safari could take you. But BEST of all to me were the many great animal and exciting wildlife scenes---all the ones you would want to see on a safari--lions with cute cubs, cheetahs, elephants with babies, hippo & rhino, crocs, giraffes, snakes, monkeys and lots more. Enjoyed seeing the African dancers and the Arab sailing ship scenes-- and also the hot air balloon ride and the really clear underwater scenes. The swimming with whale sharks scene was amazing! Great photograpy throughout. I was really surprised at how many things there are to do on a safari vacation and enjoyed seeing all the different types of places you could actually stay. Also appreciated the narration that gave lots of information & answered lots of my questions about Kenya. In addition to the nice long movie part, there was a well organized button selection feature that enabled me to pick the special things I wanted to look at in depth-- like certain parks and areas and some particular water sports activities. This was a really well done, informative and exciting to watch DVD. I would really recommend it --especially if you are going to safari or vacation in Kenya.
