Kenya Camping Safari
- Journeys: Kenya Safari Experience National Geographic
This tour exceeded all of my expectations in every way. We saw an abundance of wildlife and the experience was nothing short of astounding. The accommodations and food were also extremely good. While the partnership between Tour Radar and National Geographic was good, it was sometimes confusing as to who to contact for certain issues. Our Tour Guide, Rose was tremendous. Extremely knowledgeable, personable, organized: she managed to blend all of the knowledge of the various animals and peoples beautifully. Our driver, Joseph was also incredible in his ability to navigate a tough terrain and lead us to some spectacular sights. I’m forever grateful. Thank you, Tour Radar. You’ve done it again!
