Awesome safari with Robbin he meet all expectations and we saw many different animals.
Our experience was awesome, had so much fun, our guide Robbin was great, very funny and knowledgeable, made the experience really fun! Got to see heaps of animals, great value for money!
Communication with Cindy was great from the beginning. She helped us choose the safari based on our criteria. People at the enkorok camp were super friendly and helpful. Arnold helped us to confirm our flight to tanzania as well because of a technical issue. The safari itself was amazing and Johnny Jackson was extremely experience and good on spotting all the animals in the park.
A good guide knows where the animals are; a great one is flexible, learning quickly what their clients are looking for and finding ways to deliver it. Jack from Axis was definitely the latter. One of our group on our 9-day safari had a high-powered camera, and getting the right angle and lighting is actually more important than getting as close as possible. Jack picked this up quickly and we were ... Read moreable to get some fantastic pictures as a result.
Jack found us all the animals we were looking for and then some, and we had some extraordinary experiences. Nursing baby elephants, boxing lionesses, a hyena and vultures feasting on a fresh kill. Everything was well-arranged and went smoothly.
Some notes for others considering a safari (and feel free to reach out with questions):
- BRING A GOOD CAMERA. If you bring a cheap one, you’ll be tempted to get dangerously close to the animals to get a usable photo. That temptation is hard to resist. We saw a leopard almost get hit by another outfit’s jeep because the tourists in it wanted a cell phone selfie.
- You’ll see the most animals in Masai Mara, but because it’s so crowded the quality of sighting isn’t as good. We had elephants come right up to the jeep in Samburu and investigate it with their trunks. No way you’ll see that in Masai Mara.
- Carnivores are always more rare than herbivores. If you see one or think you see one, you should stop. No guarantee you’ll see another.
- I’d recommend doing either Lake Nakuru OR Lake Naivasha. They’re similar environments. Of the two Lake Nakuru had flamingos, but it was also much more crowded.
- Samburu was amazing but quite a drive, consider shelling out for a flight if your budget allows it. It will save you a full day of driving.
- Kenya isn’t exactly a foodie destination, but if you come in with the right expectations, it’s fine.
- Don’t be put off by all the high-powered rifles; they’re for poachers, not robberies/assaults of people.
It was an amazing Safari. We had seen a lot of different animals.
