Gaps in infrastructure, but beautiful wildlife
More than anything, a good guide and driver makes all the difference! We went to Maasai Mara through Perfect Wilderness Tours and Safaris, and Khalifa absolutely made our trip. He was knowledgeable, insightful, funny, and a good driver (despite the extremely rough terrain). More than that, he's fostered good relationships with everyone in and around the park, from rangers to locals to other guides, which gave him an extra edge in creating a memorable experience. If you book with Perfect Wilderness, ask to have him as a guide!
With accommodations, I would recommend skipping the luxury spots and sticking with a basic option. Lenchada Tourist Camp wasn't cushy, but had everything we needed. When you're only going to be there to sleep and have breakfast, it's not worth it to spend the extra money.
One thing I can't recommend is the Maasai cultural experience. If you want to support the tribe beyond your park fees, I would donate to a community fund and skip the show.

Review about Nairobi National Park by Carol McNutt
Hard to believe that this amount of wildlife is with in the city limits. It was amazing to see so many different species of animals grazing together on hillsides. A very easy day trip.

Review about Tsavo West National Park by Carol McNutt
The various terrains were spectacular. There was lots of animals. It was interesting to see some of the variations in the animals. The elephants were reddish in color, smaller in size. The giraffes were a darker color.

Super organised, everything ran like clockwork
We did the 7-Day 4-Star Okavango Delta, Chobe NP & Victoria Falls tour. The accommodation was great and I think Kala camp in the Okavango was my favourite (which I was a bit worried about as it was supposed to be a different camp but it was fully booked). They were so accommodating and we even had the place to ourselves on the first night. Muchenje was amazing too, they were so friendly and that’s where we saw the most animals. Victoria Falls was amazing too although a bit less personal. I was wondering if there would actually be much difference in each place and whether we should have even done the Okavango, but I’m so glad we did - 3 totally different experiences. I only wish we extended it to 3 nights in each camp as we were on the go the whole time.
The itinerary was really comprehensive too. The other tour we did to Kruger from a different tour company didn’t seem as organised and I had to contact them a few times to get extra information on pick-ups etc whereas with this one I knew exactly what was happening.
