Safari of a lifetime

Deb J wrote a review Feb 2019

As a pocket-conscious millenial, I did the 3-day budget safari at the Masai Mara Game Reserve. No regrets. Great Horizon Trails did a great job arranging logistics and smoothing out the payment process. Once you're at the Game Reserve, you'll find people on different tour packages with lots of different companies staying at the same camp and going on the same game drives with the same guides. Our guide was so accommodating and informative; the camp was charmingly rustic; and despite the wildebeest migration being over, the park offered the most amazing view of East Africa's wildlife being lived around us. No trip to Kenya is complete without making a safari out here.
