- Kenya Wildlife Safari
We had a fabulous time! The animals were amazing. We even saw a leopard!
- 6 Days Kenya Budget 4x4 Group Safari – Maasai Mara, Amboseli & Lake Nakuru Adventure
Our trip coincided with peak migration, and Zack got us to three different crossing points. It felt like being in a documentary. Accommodations were rustic but clean, meals were served on time, and the transport was smooth even off-road. This trip was the definition of value for money.
- Journeys: Kenya Safari Experience National Geographic Journeys
The whole trip was very organised.Both accommodation and food were superb. 3 daily meals provided had lots of variety.We particularly enjoyed the fresh fruits. Our guide David was very knowledgeable, helpful and cheerful. Our driver Vincent was skilful driving on rugged roads which sometimes were wet filled with puddles. Vincent also helped in spotting animals while driving. Our travel group was harmonious. Overall,the safari trip was special and unique in comparison with our other holidays. We all had a wonderful time.
