Great tour. Fast paced, lots of different landscapes. Plenty of opportunity for cultural sights, game drives, shopping, and seeing a good portion of East Africa's must see. Guide knew the route and risks well, prepared the group well. Best tailored to easy going types willing and able to take it as it goes and don't get too thrown off by the small hiccups of the road and able to get a long with a large group of people. Show more
