Why I Traveled to Kenya
And why you should too

I’m Natalie, founder of Niksen Travel and your travel agent. I went to Kenya in October 2024 with my husband and in-laws, and we all agreed it was the best trip of our lives.


Going on an African safari had always been a dream of mine. When the time came to make it a reality, I consulted a trusted fellow travel agent who had spent years working in Africa and experiencing safaris across the continent. Without hesitation, she said Kenya was the place to go. So that’s exactly what I did.


The experience exceeded every expectation. We were amazed by how close we got to the animals and how much we saw. Each game drive felt like a live episode of National Geographic, unfolding in real time as we sipped wine and enjoyed freshly prepared snacks in the safety of our jeeps. Our expert guides were not only incredibly knowledgeable, but also warm and engaging. They taught us about the wildlife while sharing personal stories that gave us a deeper connection to Kenyan culture. Every moment felt magical.


The food was outstanding and the service impeccable. Each lodge was beautifully designed, incredibly comfortable, and seamlessly blended into the natural surroundings. The lodge staff felt like family—always smiling, attentive, and genuinely kind. We grew so close that there were tears when it came time to say goodbye. We truly did not want to leave.


There’s a reason so many people describe their first safari as life changing. Travel with us and discover why.


Let me plan an incredible journey for you. Just answer a few questions, and I’ll design a personalized trip using insight gained and personal connections made during my trip to Kenya.
