My Sep 2024 trip
Kenya between 24 Sep 2024 and 6 Oct 2024
"Superb holiday overall.
Had some wildlife sightings we’d not experienced before but a little disappointed not to see more cheetah as this had been the focus for this trip.
However we appreciate that nothing is guaranteed and the other sightings made up for that."

Saruni Samburu
"Saruni Samburu review"
3 nights

25 Sep 2024
"Not our normal choice of camp as it offered services we didn’t use including beauty treatments and swimming pool.
Staff very friendly and helpful, especially Maya, and game viewing excellent including 3 cheetah sightings, a successful lion hunt of a warthog and lions trying to dig out a warthog burrow.
However, bumpy tracks back up to the camp do get a bit wearing after a couple of days."

Laikipia Wilderness
"Laikipia Wilderness review"

"A traditional camp. Tents comfortable with everything we needed but brown tint to hot water supply a little off putting at first.
Hosts very welcoming and knowledgeable. Game drives variable with one drive being very quiet. But we did see a leopard with cub and subsequently a cheetah with two cubs on our transfer to the airport.
Night drives showed up some interesting wildlife including several Genet and Giza, the black leopard, very briefly."

"Probably one of the best camps we’ve ever been to with one of the best guides, Johnson, who is knowledgeable on the wildlife and also got us into great positions for photography.
Great viewing of a very large pride of lions with young cubs, a cheetah and older cub and a spectacular leopard encounter. However it is worth mentioning that the cheetah population has considerably reduced due to the large lion numbers, with the cheetahs being displaced.
Minnie and her hospitality team were extremely good and the camp was very comfortable."
