My Sep 2022 trip

Kenya and 1 other country between 27 Sep 2022 and 16 Oct 2022

Trip rating: Excellent
"Memorable in so many respects.

Quite often, we were the only people seeing the animals, and it felt incredibly intimate. So close. We could almost touch them.

Both drivers were excellent, enabling us to position ourselves and find the animals approaching us.

Every moment was an adventure.

Weird, how strangely comforting it was to have lions, rather than buffaloes roaming the Mara camp.

Fantastic to see so many babies in the flourishing conservancies.

We met other people, including a charming couple of American twins Paula and Sue who shared our view, that we were fortunate to have found you on the Internet."

Horse riding excursion

"Horse riding excursion review"

30 Sep 2022 • Morning excursion

Well organised and the instructors were knowledgeable and passionate.

The riding was in the compound where the last two remaining northern white rhinos are situated, which added to the experience.

Staff at the camp were knowledgeable and protective, which was helpful given the abundance of wildlife every night

Well organised and professional.

Safe and a skilled pilot.

Enjoyable experience, but the journey to, and from the National park was a bit of a pain.

Excellent, breakfast afterwards.

"Safari in Maasai Mara National Reserve review"

4 Oct 2022 • All-day excursion

[Given the unpleasant journey, and the fact that the Conservancy had all we wanted, except for a crossing, we decided against returning to the national park]

"Giraffe Manor review"

2 nights Arrived 6 Oct 2022
"Extraordinary experience-exactly as per website

Staff took hundreds of photographs, so they’re bound to be a few good ones.

GM Retreat the new sister hotel on the site is also splendid.

The food was very good and we enjoyed candlelit dinner on our roof terrace."

"Lovely hotel with individual villas secreted within the landscape, where monkeys roam

Only a couple of restaurants to choose from in the evening, but the buffet was very good with a freshly cooked counter, serving a variety of fish and meat

Very attentive Hotel manager"
