On of the best National Reserves in Kenya!
One of the best places I have been in Kenya in 31 years of traveling around Kenya! The wildlife is prefuse and qutie friendly and accustomed to vehicles. The roads are fine as far as park roads go and the river is magnificent! We stayed at the nicest campsite under huge old acacia trees with a very helpful campsite attendant who much to our amazement was able to source cold beers and fresh bread and milk from out of thin air.
The drive to Samburu from Nairobi is an easy one, there is a very good cafe mid-way just before Nanyuki - One Stop Cafe opposite Barneys airfield. Camping and park fee's for what the experience is worth should be much higher as it is in almost all Kenyan parks.
If you want to see the South of the North of Kenya - Samburu is your park - if you dont like camping, Elephant Bedroom Camp is the best place to stay by a mile.

Review about Kenya by Cookswell Jikos
Having lived here and met thousands of people from all over the world who have saved for years for a 2 week holiday to Kenya - I am very happy to have been able to travel all over the country with my tree planting job and validate just why so many people come to visit this country. Its simply breathtaking!

Excellent staff, professional service
I used Africa Unike Adventures and Safaris for my trip to Kenya and Tanzania. They are extremely professional, friendly, prompt in communication, and have very courteous tour guides.
I originally planned the trip for Dec 2015 but the trip had to be cancelled for personal reasons. They had taken the time and effort to prepare a detailed itinerary based on my interests and time and did not push me to make any decision whatsoever. This made me to go back to them when we decided to make the trip in Apr 2016.
Again, Eunice and Paul were outstanding in accommodating all my requests to ensure the trip was well organized and they were prompt with all communication. Paul took the time to meet us personally in Kenya, explain the itinerary, and made sure we had no concerns.
The tour guides (Jackson in Kenya and Saba in Tanzania) arranged were also very professional and courteous. They made sure we got sufficient time to see wildlife and were very patient. They were very enthusiastic too, particularly, Saba in Tanzania. It was overall a memorable trip.
I highly recommend their service.

They know Uganda by heart, very good guide, was telling stories.
Before we knew we were at destination.
Well organised, upon arrival our quat guide was waiting for us with the quats and clothes to wear. Gave us some general rules and wished us a lot of fun :)
On the way back we stopped at fruitmarket.

Hluhluwe Game Reserve, Isimangaliso Wetlands, and Durban
While friends I was traveling with in SA went off for 4 days to an exceeding expensive game reserve in Sabi Sands, I chose to explore Durban and surroundings instead. I’m delighted I did.
Rowly met my early AM flight from Cape Town, and we drove up the coast through a sugar cane landscape to St Lucia, where we had a few hours in the beautiful Isimangaliso Wetlands before driving directly inland to Hluhluwe Game Reserve. Arriving at the Hilltop Lodge, I joined a 5-8PM game drive, and, after overnighting there, another from 5-8AM. It was a great experience---for me the right amount of time---and one that Rowly facilitated and contributed to.
Rowly was very dependable and accommodating, has deep roots in the area and a great deal of knowledge of it, and was good company, which was important as it was just the two of us.
I was so pleased that I arranged for Rowly to give me a tour of Durban the following afternoon. (In the morning, I visited to the Campbell Collection, which I’d recommend to anyone with a cultural interest, especially if you can take the time to read the fascinating explanation of the Zulu beadwork on display.) If I had an extra day or two, I would have taken a tour with Rowly into the Drakensberg---next time.
Now home, I have fond memories of it all, including Durban itself, with its beautiful beachfront, surprising harbor, botanical garden and steeply hilly neighborhoods with vistas of the Indian Ocean.

Great time in Kenya and Tanzania
Communication was good, service was good. No complaints. We left some stuff in one of our huts at the Masai Mara and only realized it after we reached Arusha, Tanzania. Our guide was great and sent for it and had it delivered to us the next day. Then, we did it again and left some stuff behind in Arusha when we headed off to Zanzibar. Again, they helped us and our stuff arrived the next day to our hotel in Zanzibar. No problems and didn't ask us for any money or anything. Just good, considerate, efficient and friendly service. Thanks AbsoluteHoliday Safaris!
