AMAZING!! Great communicators. Personalized to you. They care about your experience and safety.
Where do I start? So many WONDERFUL things to say about this company.
First of all Filipa was incredibly communicative upon our initial inquiry into scheduling a Safari. Answered all my questions in detail and very responsive to emails. I also reached out with questions during the Safari which she immediately responded too. I work in customer service and rarely find a company so attentive to their clients needs. I had researched several companies and this one was reasonably priced as well.
Secondly, our Nairobi driver, Moses made a great first impression. Waiting for us at the airport and taking us to our hotel. The van was comfortable and he made us feel very safe and offered to come back after we settled in to give us a city tour. We were so excited for the trip, we couldnt sleep despite the long journey, so we welcomed his offer. He took us to the Giraffe Center, a place where local bead jewelry was. made, and to a great family restaurant to enjoy local food. He also drove us around on our last day too for a visit to the Kenyan National Museum.
The next morning our Safari Guide, Sammie picked us up. We embarked on an amazing 9 day trip to the Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha, and Amboseli National Park. Sammie was SO knowledgeable! He was a walking encyclopedia of animal species, gestations, habitats, and behaviors. He knew 100's of species of birds and plants. He could spot animals from a mile away. The long drives between parks enabled us to ask questions about Kenyan culture, resources, politics, topography, climate, food, and language. I think I valued those conversations as much, if not more than the animal searches. He educated us on many symbiotic relationships too. He was so personable and became a friend to our family. He drove the rough terrain with care and always had our safety in mind.
Thirdly, The camps and lodges they recommended were all terrific. Excellent staff and service every where we went. I only wish we could have spent more time enjoying the accommodations since we were out on game drives for the entire day. Many were so beautiful. We did ask Sammie to make one of our last days a half day of game drive so we could relax and absorb all that we had been learning and take in the beauty at our camp. This company will adjust the days to what you want to do. Ultimate personalization. We loved having the Landcruiser to our selves and could stand up and enjoy the scenery as Sammie drove.
Lastly, I was so impressed with the Kenyan people. Everyone so friendly and beautiful and truly caring about our experience and safety. This trip made a lasting impression on my family and I cant recommend this company enough! They were all wonderful. You won't regret booking with them!
