Generally satisfied.
・I participated in a 3-day, 2-night tour; although the game drive on the first day was only 2–3 hours long, it still required an entrance fee, so I opted to join only the game drive on the second day to save money. Even so, I was able to enjoy a full day of safari activities and was very satisfied with the experience. The guide also provided plenty of commentary about the animals.
There was n ... Read moreo set end time for the game drive, and we had no subsequent plans, so we were free to return to our accommodation whenever we liked; however, the guide seemed eager to wrap things up by late afternoon—hurrying us along for some reason whenever we stopped to take photos—which I found a bit unpleasant.
・When I went to the river to see hippos, I was guided by an armed guard, but I felt uncomfortable because I was essentially forced to give a tip. However, since there were so many other people around, I don't think this practice is limited to just this tour company.
・The price included transportation, but for the return trip, I wasn't taken back to my hotel; instead, I was told to take a taxi from the office—for some reason, they wouldn't drive me. Since it was only 1.5 km away, I walked. However, other people whose hotels were on the way back *were* given a ride.
・This is slightly off-topic regarding the tour company itself, but I stayed at a partner budget-friendly accommodation. Another person on the same tour forgot their wallet there; they were contacted about it, but 1,000 KSH had been stolen from it.
Knowledgeable
It was a great experience, communication was smooth from booking until the end of the tour. Tour guides were knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

Great.
I've had a great experience. Tom has been a great tour guide and very friendly.
The safari itself was truly wonderful and moving.
I lost my wallet at Ololaimutiek Village, and although it was returned 1–2 hours later, the cash inside (17 USD and 1,000 Kenyan shillings) was missing.
I would have appreciated support and a proper response from the guide and the tour company regarding this issue.
I believe that more attention should be given to advising guests about the safety and management of their valuables during the ... Read more tour.
