Simon answered all my inquisitive questions about wildlife & knew every species of animal we saw. He knew their mating habits, some of their origins and more! He waited for me despite my later flight landing, then Picked me up straight from the airport and dropped me right back off during my long layover. He waited at a café for me to get breakfast which was super accommodating—- and had Wi-Fi as well as electricity for charging your phone within the car all day. He had great driving skills and navigated my day well. Still took me on a solo tour which allowed me to nap in the back seat and pivot to all looking points of the safari car. Took the best pics of me and we had some good stories shared. Thanks so much for the short experience in Kenya!

Wonderful we managed to see all the big five before lunch and last but not least we also managed to see a lion with its prey in its mouth! Ronald is a kind and experienced gentleman who led us throughout the safari, the facilities we stayed in were clean and equipped with the basic comforts necessary for this type of experience. The meals were also good, even if simple! I highly recommend this experience, the transfer from nairobi to masai mara takes about five and a half hours

The elephant orphanage and giraffe centre trip was an incredible experience and not to be missed. A great opportunity to get up close to and learn more about the animals and the excellent care they receive. Our guide was friendly and informative, with great communication, and even took us to additional locations like the bead factory. Would highly recommend doing this while in Nairobi
