Experience of a Lifetime!
I chose Kenya Safaris Holiday after receiving quotes from many different tour operators because they were Kenyan owned/operated, had great reviews, were reasonably priced, and -- mostly importantly -- Simon offered personalized service (he was sensitive to what I wanted from my trip, even when I couldn't always articulate it because this was my first safari). I knew I was in great hands when I heard from him out of the blue that our first choice of camp had an opening and he would try to move us over -- despite us already having agreed to book with him, using our second choice in lodging. (He did get us in there and the camp was definitely part of our perfect experience!)
Simon picked us up from the airport and met us again in the morning to introduce us and ensure we were comfortable with our driver & guide, George (Kamau), who we spent four days with between Nairobi and the Maasai Mara. I honestly cannot say enough praising George; he was an amazing person and THE BEST guide we could have ever hoped for. He is extremely knowledgable, welcoming, and he cares passionately about conservation (I wanted to be sure that we were not interfering with natural animal behavior while in the reserve). Best of all, my travel partner and I booked a private safari so we could determine when we started/ended each day to make the most of our short visit, and George was very enthusiastic about game drives, never getting tired!
Nobody could have enjoyed their time in the Maasai Mara more than we did, but George is passionate about what he does and he enjoyed it as well. He paid attention to what we were interested in and customized the drive for us. He was excellent at spotting animals and anticipating their behavior, which meant we got great views of big cats despite the "crowd". When he discovered my favourite moment from day one was not the amazing lions, cheetah, or even the leopard we saw (all in our first day!) but the peaceful moment where we were the only vehicle around and a herd of elephants ambling past, he made sure that we got in more quiet, serene moments on the reserve.
Our safari was honestly about as perfect as I can imagine. When we returned to Nairobi, we decided to add on a half-day excursion to the elephant orphanage and the giraffe centre and Simon arranged that for us as well. To anyone considering a trip to Kenya, I would say: go now! And definitely use Kenya Safaris Holiday as your tour operator.
