We had a very good experience on our 4-day camping safari in Kenya. Our driver was friendly and knowledgeable, and the trip was well-organised. We were fortunate to see all of the Big Five, along with many other animals. Overall, we felt that the safari offered good value for money. The first two nights, we stayed in a simple but clean bungalow with welcoming staff. The last night, we were pleasantly surprised by a stay at a nice hotel, which was a step up in standard. The food throughout the trip was consistently good. We also took a hot air balloon safari, which was a unique and enjoyable experience. In addition, we visited a Maasai village, which gave us insight into their culture and way of life. Overall, this was a well-organised safari that we would recommend to others looking for a good experience in Kenya.

Much better than we expected. Accommodation Two tent nights were ok. Last night was at a much better hotel than expected. Food was ok but I got loose stomach probably cause of the picknick chicken. Our driver Benjamin was the best! The Land Rover was good. Masai Mara we saw lots and lots of animals incl as much as five different groups of lions at close range. Nakuru we saw Rhinos at close range among others. Masai village we were greeted with a traditional song and dance, saw them make fire with a stick and saw their houses, but we might skip that next time. Lake Naivacha was nice and calm with lots of birds. Overall it was an experience of a lifetime.

We had a wonderful time in Massai Mara. We saw a lot of animals e.g. cheetas, elephants and lions, very close. Our guide was very well informed and knew the right places. It was nice to stay in the lodge very close to the entrance to Massai Mara. The last day we went to Nakuru Nationalpark, which was a wonderful experience. A great landscape and so many birds e.g. flamingos, pelicans and different storches. And we had a great room in an hotel with swimming pool. We had some problems with the guide , but the agency solved it.

The trip was great. Only 2 of us with another couple from Japan, Hitomi and Shim. Joseph helped and assisted my mother a lot. He drove my mom from Elsa gate to the last pitstop to the gorge (additional charge of KSH 2000 was affordable as long as my mom able to enjoy there as well). My mom's safety when walking to the gorge was well taken care by him and the park's guide. Thanks a lot guys. Additional fees need to be paid during the trip was informed as well. Hell's Gate: $27 (cashless) Boat Ride (L. Naivashall): $ 25 (cash)

Jack and his team gave us a great experience with their knowledge. This tour is well organized and really worth it! We got a lot of energy from people and children out there!
