It was a fantastic activity, definitely worth the money! We had a great time! They let us know in advance when they would pick us up at our hotel, and then we left for Tsavo East! The first game drive was already a success thanks to Freddy! After that, we stayed at the beautiful VOI Wildlife Lodge. The rooms were standard and all equipped with mosquito nets! But the biggest asset of the stay was their waterhole! We were able to take such beautiful photos, it was unbelievable! At one point, there were about 50 elephants looking at us and the hippo was there too! Our guide did everything he could to give us the best two days and he did a great job! It's a bit of luck with the animals you get to see, but he did everything he could! Definitely book this trip, you won't regret it!!

The trip was great. We were picked up by the driver and he drove us to Tsavi East. We had the whole safari bus to ourselves (3 people). We were really lucky on the safari and saw various antelopes, giraffes, water buffalo, lions, monkeys, zebras, lizards, different birds, hippos, elephants, and ostriches. We even got to watch a lion hunt a zebra. Lunch was delicious too, with a buffet offering something for everyone. All in all, it was a great trip. Our driver was also very nice, responded to our requests, and was very knowledgeable.

We had an amazing time on our over night safari, we had 3 game drives with our incredible driver Freddie, he was fun, knowledgeable and did everything he could to get us to see the animals and get great photo opportunities. We saw plenty of elephants, zebra, giraffe, buffalo as well as a lot more and on our final morning safari he spun us around and got us to see the Lions which finished our safari off perfectly.

5 out of 5 stars

It was a really impressive and great experience. I felt save during the hole trip, the driver arrived on time in the hotel and we saw many animals. I would definitely recommend this trip.
