4 day Masai Mara Safari

30-Jun-2019

Amazing Safari!! Our driver, Martin, was exceedingly knowledgeable about the park and all the animals. He knew where to go to get the best views and see all the incredible animals. Claire was also great at quickly responding to all questions and with setting everything up for us. Very affordable. Would highly recommend.

Masai Mara

31-Aug-2019

The 3 days safari in Masai Mara were amazing! We saw more than 20 different species of animals, our guide, John Walter, was very good in spotting them and managing to go very close and teaching us interesting facts about them. It was easy to make new friends in the group, we spent long hours in the van together and sharing the meals at the camp. The food was very good and the tents were cousy with bathroom, hot shower and very confortable beds. The restourant is in a nice open space under a wooden roof with view on the nature, and in the night it gets so dark that you can see the milky way! The visit to the Masai village is very interesting, they are happy and proud to show their way of living and you can make yourself useful buying some of their beautiful handmade products. A big thanks to Clear and Jhon Walter for taking such a good care of us! I'll definatly book with you for the next safari!
