Our 7 days of the Best of Kenya Safari was a great experience. Being a private tour of Dallago Tours, we were able to spend time completely on our own. When I first arrived in Nairobi, I went to Amboseli National Park. There in the background of Mount Kilimanjaro the heart is filled to see the herd of elephants. Then I went to Lake Nakuru and saw flamingos and rhinos, which was amazing. The most exciting part was the game drive in Maasai Mara. We were all fascinated by the sight of lions hunting, leopards racing and groups of giraffes in the early morning light. Our guide Austin was very experienced and patient. He explained the behavior of each animal and always ensured our safety. Due to the low intensity of the tour, everyone from children to the elderly was able to enjoy comfortably. The whole trip was guided in English and all the management was very professional. Definitely want to go to Kenya again with Dallago Tours!
