He was knowledgeable and attentive
Our guide was bold and skilled in bringing the animals to us . He was engaging
Unfortunately there was a mix up in times we were to leave as drivers were exchanged mid trip .

Godfrey is very courteous, helpful and friendly
Godfrey immediately showed consideration and kindness to help me (75 years old) into the van when picking me up at the hotel...he was also considerate in giving me a few extra minutes at the stop on the way. Friendly talk during the drive was pleasant too. Thank you, I enjoyed the experience 😊

A Great Adventure with Room for Better Coordination
Overall, we had a very good experience with Judeson Budget Safaris, especially during the mountain tour itself. Our guide was very friendly, supportive and experienced, and it was clear that he had done the mountain many times before. The porters also did an excellent job, and we always had everything we needed during the trek. The food was very good, plentiful, healthy and varied, with a nice mix of traditional Kenyan dishes. It was not a high-end experience, but considering it was a budget tour, the value for money was absolutely fair and more than sufficient for us.
The main area for improvement would be communication and coordination between Judeson Budget Safaris and the guide. At times, the organisation felt a little adventurous, and some details were not fully communicated or did not completely match what had been described in the original offer. However, these issues did not significantly affect the mountain tour itself, which ran very well overall.
All in all, it was a memorable and enjoyable experience with a great team on the mountain, and with slightly better communication and organisation, the overall experience could be even better.
