Adaptive, understanding, caring and trustworthy
With Green Places Adventures it was all very fluent from the start. Elijah was the one to plan it all, a wise and caring professional. He was diligent in answering and adapting the tour while our plans evolved. They offered a very competitive package and were kind to break down the costs for us, so we would make informed decisions when fine-tunning. I do not know how many versions we asked for, but they never had a "no" for a response. Also, you can see they are very experienced because the route recommendations were solid, and the driver/guide was amazing.
Our driver was Evans, a very very experienced guide that explained all details of the animals behaviour, so we could enjoy not just seeing them, but understanding what was happening (a giraffes elegant neck fight, hyenas hunt, elefants protective parenting...).
Some quality details to look for if you are lost comparing packages, that made us choose Green Places Adventures over others: timely answers, game drives also upon arrival to the lodge in the afternoon (some others skip it and it and then may look cheaper, but you miss half day of safari), upgrade when possible and very transparent pricing. And for me, the most important, it's a local agency, so it's all staying in Kenia <3.
About our tour: We had a 7 days safari from Amboseli to Naivasha and Nakuru, then to Masai Mara and back to Nairobi. Amboseli has its own soul, with amazing Kilimanjaro as unique background and a lot of elephants and other big mammals. Naivasha's Crescent Island is a curious thing to experience, especially with kids. Nakuru was the unexpected delight, with a lot of animals including rhinos and lions, beautiful stay. Masai Mara is THE place to go for its vast extension and the savannah landscape we all have in our documentary memories; plus getting to know Masais is the cultural cherry on the cake, Kenia is so much more than just wildlife.
