It's a great 5 day experience! From Mombasa we went to Tsavo West, Amboseli and Tsavo East. The most memorable moment was seeing the huge elephant herd at Amboseli, with the snow-capped Kilimanjaro hills in the background - it really felt like magic! Our guide David was very knowledgeable and helpful. He showed many animals, including lions, leopards, giraffes, zebras. Accommodations were comfortable and the food was good. All was great from start to finish. Highly recommended for those who want to tour the wildlife of Kenya. Worth every penny!
5 Days Amboseli, Tsavo West & Tsavo East Coastal SafariWe have done the best of Kenya Safari for 7 days with Dallago Tours. It was truly the best experience of our lives. Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Amboseli - everywhere the guide had extraordinary knowledge and eyes. In the daily game drive, we saw lions, cheetahs, elephants, giraffes all at close quarters. Being a private tour, we had our own car and time, there was no rush. Accommodations were very comfortable and the food was excellent. James was very friendly and explained everything very well. A must visit for those who love wildlife. 10/10!
