Absolutely outstanding safari experience!
Our tour guide Francis was friendly, reliable, professional, caring and very personable. He tailored the tour and plans to suit us, the weather and made the experience a special once in a lifetime experience. His skilful driving in wet weather kept us on track and on time. His ability to find animals through the park and went above and beyond to give us an incredible adventure.

Well organized!
We relied on Philip, the owner of the agency, to organize our safari. We purchased the flights. I must say that the places we stayed exceeded our expectations! We stayed at Lake Nakuru Lodge, Fig Tree Camp in the Masai Mara, and Pride Inn in the Masai Mara, and our rooms had either a lake or river view! At Fig Tree Camp, we slept facing the river, where there were hippos and crocodiles! Exciting!
Philip always managed our travel schedule well, especially the safari, not making us get up early unless absolutely necessary!
We saw a multitude of birds and animals; we even glimpsed a leopard, and we saw all the other animals. I recommend Lake Nakuru for the rhinos...fantastic!!!
The only thing I would change is the night in Nairobi. I'd do it on the return trip, not the first day, so as to arrive at the airport with peace of mind (which we did too, even though we arrived directly from the Masai Mara, after many hours of travel), to avoid any problems.
In Nairobi, we always stayed at the PrideInn chain, and I must say we had a great time there too.
Trust Philip and his agency to make your dream come true!
He speaks English, but he'll find you an Italian-speaking guide, just like he did with us!
