Reviews from travellers on this tour

Tom A USA

5 day safari of lake navisha Masai mara hells gate and lake nakaru

31-Aug-2018

Overall the trip exceeded my expectations. The staff claire and Barnard knew their stuff and were very obliging. My fellow travellers from different parts of the world made for interesting and enjoyable company. Long journeys are unavoidable and sharing the experience with new found friends adds to the adventure Being flexible with the itinerary at the group consencus worked well. Bernard worked very hard to get from a to b in the shortest possible time and to get us up close to as much game as possible. I think customers should be encouraged to bring binoculars to improve the experience. That would help avoid having to get so close to some of the animals which I felt uncomfortable about. Having binoculars on board plus a game and bird book for identification purposes would improve the experience. My accommodation exceeded my expectations for the price I paid. Please do not edit out any of this content. Tom
