Flexible, organised and good value for money. Recommended!
Our guide was fabulous! PAPA JOHN was kind, courteous knowledgeable and patient with the animals, waiting for them to come out of hiding or cross the road. If it’s possible to choose your guide, choose him!
The back office staff were efficient and flexible (changing the date of our safari to fit my birthday celebrations).
LENCHADA CAMP
We stayed in a brick hut with shower room which was large and comfortable. The food was flavoursome however there was little meat on offer - fortunately I like vegetarian food.
BURAHI ZENONI HOTEL
Comfortable hotel with great local food. We stayed in a nice en-suite room. The staff were helpful and friendly.
AMBOSELI MOUNTAIN VIEW CAMP
A well positioned camp near Amboseli park with a fantastic view of Mount Kilimanjaro. We stayed in a large tent with integrated shower room which was very comfortable. The food was nice but there was very little meat - largely due to greedy guests - I think the meat should be served if it is not possible to cook more.
LUNCHES
We had a mix of roadside and packed lunches. The packed lunches were large but lacked variety, we much prefered the roadside cafe lunches.
SAFARIS
We visited Masai Mara, Nakuru and Amboseli safari camps on a 6-day tour and they were all magnificent. We saw every animal we expected except a leopard and we even saw a cheetah catch a gazelle. Amazing!
Our guide Joseph was THE BEST
So first things first, our guide Joseph was amazing. He was so incredibly knowledgeable about all the animals and he seemed to know everyone in the park and on the roads. He was also a very skilled driver on some very rutted roads, as well as navigating traffic and trucks. I always felt safe with him driving.
I booked this safari for the off season, and the one thing to note is that we did not stay where we were told we were going to stay when we booked to stay for the Mara or Nakuru. So if you’re expecting to stay in an exact place, I would just make sure you have an understanding with the the tour operator (I didn’t ask, so I wasn’t put off by it, just noting it). My car was full of people all using different tour operators, so sometimes we did stay at different places, but we did all the safaris together which was nice.
