Amazing trip of a lifetime!
Kenya and 1 other country between 3 Oct 2019 and 16 Oct 2019
Richard is incredibly knowledgeable, extremely helpful and 100% committed to planning a perfect trip. I never felt pressured to select certain camps, just really enjoyed working with Richard and letting him suggest an itinerary based on what we wanted to see and experience! He was diligent in finding camps for our group of 6 and arranging the trip in order to visit different areas with a wide variety of wildlife.
The first hand knowledge of the EA staff cannot be surpassed. A top notch company!"

Kicheche Bush Camp
"Perfect location with delightful staff"
This camp exceeded my expectations in every way. The animal viewing was beyond my imagination. Not only were there several early morning sightings of hyena's feeding , but also large lion prides feeding. and crossing the plains on their way back home.
Spent most of one day following the famous 5 cheetah boys. Just amazing! Lots of animals to see and not crowded, at all. Be sure to visit the Maa Trust which supports the local community with various projects including beautiful beadwork by local women."

Baines' Camp
"Baines' Camp review"
The staff was very friendly and helpful. Food and accommodations were tops. Our guide, Fred, was so genuinely enthusiastic about everything we saw on the game drives. He was incredibly knowledgeable about all of the flora and fauna. He seems to really enjoy his guests and his job. I can't say enough about the attention to detail from Fred and the staff.
Great camp!"

Little Vumbura
"Little Vurumba adventure"
The game drives were fantastic although we kept having to ask our guide to stop when we saw animals/birds that he had not noticed or did not think worth stopping for. He seemed distracted and often engaged in conversation with the preserve inspector that accompanied us on every game drive. Although it was clear we were an older group of guests, we had to ask for a step and help getting in and out of the vehicle nearly every time.
The staff and accommodations were first rate. An intimate camp with gorgeous views and lots to see. The water tours are stunning in terms of the colors of grasses, reeds and water reflections. Also big skies with fabulous sunsets."

Savute Safari Lodge
"Savute Safari Lodge Review"
The game drives were great and Baba was an excellent guide. He was always thinking about positioning us for the best photograph of whatever we were seeing. A very pleasant guide with a great sense of humor.
The food and staff were great. Rooms were very nicely appointed and very pleasant.
The staff was very helpful as we had to deal with an unexpected emergency at home. They were a great help with internet and emergency phone calls. Thank you!"
We following 5 lions defending their territory for most of a morning under the most beautiful sky with patches of clouds and stunning landscape. Our guide, Peter, was incredibly knowledgeable about everything we were seeing. the camp staff lead by Louise and Andrew are warm, friendly and happy to help with anything you might need.
The food was absolutely delicious!"
