"My Oct 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 4 Oct 2024 and 20 Oct 2024
"Extremely well organized. Everything ran smoothly. Great locations and overall amazing camps. Only small criticism would be that food is all “western” orientated and camps often had a colonial feel which can jar somewhat.
Having said that, this was the trip of a lifetime. Thoroughly recommend." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 16 on a Kenya safari

"My Sep 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 12 Sep 2024 and 24 Sep 2024
"Kenya is one of my most favourite trips. Even with my itchy uncomfortable skin condition, I enjoyed myself immensely.

The guides, aside of the Tanguila guides, were excellent. I was hoping to see more lions and maybe a hunt but instead we saw leopard Natito and her cub, twice and you can't beat that. I was surprised at how close the guides could get us to the large animals.

We got to see big Tusker Craig up close and personal for over an hour. We had the most comfortable accommodations and fabulous food.

I liked the lined ponchos provided by Kicheche camp. Early mornings are cool and they were fabulous.

Overall, as they say, a trip of a lifetime. I'd like to do it again but can it be topped?" Read full review: 12 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

"My Sep 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 7 Sep 2024 and 1 Oct 2024
"What can I say? My best friend of 65 years said that she had never seen me at a loss for words about anything before.

This trip was beyond beyond. I now understand why people go back time and time again. The animals, the people, and the land get under your skin and into your soul. I told my brother that the only way to describe it is that it is everything that is real. Animals living their lives the way they are intended to. A good day for a cheetah hunting and catching a young gazelle, not a good day for the gazelle. The circle of life and all that that means.

To witness: a large elephant family moving across a huge dry lake; seeing hundreds of thousands of wildebeest, elephants, zebras, cape buffalo, all together on the move; meet and see Craig the Tusker, that magnificent old elephant; and giraffes nibbling on tree tops; there truly are no words...it is all emotion.

Thank you, thank you, thank you, for everything, for every little detail and putting us into the care of so many exemplary people in Kenya.

"My Mar 2024 trip"

I visited Kenya between 11 Mar 2024 and 30 Mar 2024
"once again Claire has hit it out of the park. Her attention to detail is outstanding. The weakest camp for us was Tortillis as it was large and had not a lot of animal life. We loved Kifaru house and want to return. We also did the conservation tour at Lewa which included meeting the dog tracking team--would highly recommend this to any other travellers. There are only 3 days a week on which it is possible to do this but it is well worthwhile. We also liked elephant pepper camp --the sheer volume of animal life there was amazing.
