Coming back from the 3-day 2-night Maasai Mara Luxury Camping Safari, I can say it exceeded all expectations.. DALLAGO TOURS has handled everything very well - from the hotel pickup in Nairobi to the excellent English-speaking guide and driver. The game drives were exciting, and we had the opportunity to see amazing wildlife.. Meanwhile, the luxury camping facility inside Maasai Mara was truly amazing. The food was good and the staff was very friendly and professional.. The cultural visit to Maasai Village adds a special dimension.
