Nancie Wight tour
Kenya between 31 Oct 2019 and 14 Nov 2019
"This was an amazing adventure for our family and we are grateful to Richard Trillo for his efficient and thoughtful planning of our trip.
Nancie Wight was our guide on the ground and she is wonderful! From her expert photographic advice to her warm, welcoming (and fun!) manner, we could not ask for a better host!
We are already thinking about our return in 2021!
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
Thank you but we have no suggestions for improvements -- we had a wonderful trip!"

"Mara Camp was a great place to begin our adventure!
The tents were lovely -- we saw lots of wildlife "just outside" our doors, from buffalo to monkeys, dik diks and bushbucks, and one wandering hippo! Our hosts Caris and Bonny were great! We so enjoyed every moment!
Our guides were David and George and they were really terrific! We enjoyed meeting other guests and sharing stories of sighting at dinner. :)!"

Arrived

"We had such a great time at Bush Camp!
The tents are fantastic and we all enjoy the rustic showers!
Our guides were Patrick and James and we had such fun with them both! They are very knowledgeable and personable -- and it was fun to be with James so soon after his return from London where he receive international accolades for his skills as a guide! All of the staff were wonderful!"

Arrived
9 Nov 2019
"The Valley Camp was amazing!
We could not believe how close we were to the wildlife! We did a night drive and only went a short distance when we first saw a cheetah ... and then a lion ... and then a giraffe and aardvark and bush babies -- it was amazing! All of our drives were exciting and we saw so many animals!
One of our most exciting experiences happened at the camp, when the Maasai guides all came together and performed a traditional song and song in honour of my husband's birthday -- we were so honoured!"
