"Great trip and lifetime memories, the team meeting and transferring us went very smoothly.

We were delayed 2 hours at Bird Island as a tropical storm had delayed the plane at Mahe, but they provided drinks and I preferred to wait at Bird Island than Mahe airport."

Offbeat Meru, Kenya (this camp has since closed)

"Excellent camp"

3 nights Arrived 31 Jan 2016
"We'll run, good food, we felt we were in the bush but comfortable. The trips were excellent with good guides and we saw the big 5.
The evenings by the camp fire were were magical.

Craig re scheduled our flight on to Mara direct up the Rift Valley past Mount Kenya instead of returning to Wilson and wasting time. The walk with Stanley and the armed guard crowned it."

Anse Soleil Beachcomber, Seychelles (this camp has since closed)

"Great Beach"

3 nights Arrived 7 Feb 2016
"Very good beach for swimming, the car hire was convenient next door and we did two days touring. The cars were old, high mileage, not automatic and did not have air conditioning but just right for the roads and reasonable.

One night the insects came in over dinner, but the air conditioning was welcome in the rooms.

On entering the Seychelles the Health authority wanted our Yellow Fever certificates which we did not have so we had to go to the hospital and for 100 rupees each were given a form that covered us. Whilst I went to pay Carolyn was in the waiting room of the VD clinic with some very explicit posters and free condoms on the table. It is going to make a great story."
