My Mar 2022 trip

"Brilliant trip, especially as we followed it with visit to Masai Mara and Laikipia (booked thru specialist photo company) so good balance of varied game."

Severin Safari Camp
"Severin Safari Camp review"

"Camp organisation was poor, understaffed - whilst they tried hard individually, attention to detail was lacking eg poor slow service for drinks & food, no morning coffee, didn’t bother lighting camp fire in evening.
Lovely tents, great pool and massage. Nice waterhole overlooked by restaurant - 2 lions came to drink.
Guide was adequate but didn’t find any predators - no communication with other drivers / camps . Game drive STRICTLY 2.5 hours. Had wrong time for departure flight so we had to pay extra for game drive on last afternoon."

Kinondo Kwetu
"Kinondo Kwetu review"

"Fabulous small hotel, lovely room - they up graded us to a suite.
Rather odd eating arrangements - no dining room as such so moved around to different locations each evening. Dinner on top of water tower not a good idea - food cold by the time it got there and had to eat sitting on the floor - difficult to cut meat! Food excellent.
Very helpful staff, nothing too much trouble.
For the price, I was disappointed to be charged extra for a group yoga session."

Game drives and guide Patrick particular good. He understood the needs of a photographer.
Fabulous tents and lovely refreshing pool after hot game drive"
