"This trip more than came up to my expectations. The only previous safari I had been on was 10 years ago, and it was in many ways very different.

My enjoyment of this trip was certainly enhanced by the fact that I had bought the latest iPhone with an outstanding camera so that I was able to take really good photographs of animals and also of birds.

My enjoyment of the trip, as a solo traveller, on this occasion, was increased by the delightful fellow guests I met in the lodge and camps." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"We thoroughly enjoyed the whole trip. Claire did a terrific job pulling it together for us.

The weather was unseasonably wet. We had huge rainstorms and cool days at both camps. But it didn’t get in the way of activities. Camp provided wellies and hot water bottles to ensure our comfort.

It was great when the sun finally came out towards the end of the trip and we could enjoy blue skies and heat." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"Aside from a few miscommunications about costs and clarity on details it was smooth. This was my first ever trip to Africa and after pouring over department of state guidelines, CDC, WHO and various data bases I was overwhelmed with preparations to visit Africa. I think the website could be simplified but since many people from all points in the world read it there has to be a generalized way of presenting information.
I recommend getting clarification on all costs and any Etickets you will need for connecting flights provided by the tour.
Read the documents you get thoroughly. I missed one small but important detail which smoothed out but when you are tired and hot and have to stop and deal with entrance fees or visas it can be irritating, so read everything. Did I say everything? Yes!!!!!
Tipping was something I needed more knowledge on and after this trip I am way more prepared. I would say read the tipping guidelines section and follow the advice given. Those could be more specific but personally, I felt the Rwanda trip was deserving of more than modest tipping but it’s a sensitive subject that many don’t like discussing. You will know more as you proceed and keep your heart open.
I am already thinking about my return trip. I am still floating. Just do it……go!!!!!!" Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 5 on a Rwanda safari

"I’d heard great things about Ol Donyo and there is certainly a lot to love about the lodge. Aside from not liking some aspects of the room design, it was a great stay. If only the weather and wildlife had been co-operated." Read full review: 7 nights in Africa; 6 on a Kenya safari
