The review below is the personal opinion of Jie and not that of SafariBookings.
Nature is perfect, the guide ruined it
Avoid at all costs guide Francis! Not a single honest word comes out of his mouth, and his service attitude depends entirely on tips! On the first day at Masai Mara when we were still excited, we gave $10 for a half-day tour (total $60 for 6 people). Starting from the second day, he forced us to pay $10 per person daily, even threatening that he'd "doze off while driving" if tipped less. Even on non-safari days—like the 5-hour pure transfer from Masai Mara to Nakuru—he demanded $10 per person! During transfers between safari destinations, he deliberately parks tourists at souvenir shops. Though not forcing purchases, you'll just sit and wait if you don't shop. If unfortunately assigned Francis as your guide, remember: always pay tips all together at the very end.
