Kenya 2020
Kenya between 16 Jan 2020 and 27 Jan 2020
"My experience on this trip was very good. I had done a similar safari in 2018 in the same areas and I was a little concerned that this trip may not live up to what I had experienced back then. In the end this Safari exceeded the experience of my first trip.
The Mara area had experience more rainfall than usual in the weeks prior to my arrival and as a result the grass was taller than I had expected in a lot of areas making it difficult to see the smaller animals and difficult to get unobstructed pictures of other animals. This was a bit disappointing as my prime objective on this trip was photography."

Kicheche Mara
"Kicheche Mara"
3 nights
Arrived
17 Jan 2020
"I had a great experience at the Kicheche Mara camp..All the staff were very friendly and helpful. The wildlife was plentiful and the game drives were all very interesting.
The area had experienced a lot of rainfall in the weeks prior to my arrival so the roads and paths were quite muddy and challenging to navigate in many locations. On the day I arrived the river that flows through the camp had overflowed it's banks and we were not able cross the river to get to the camp. Before the end of the day, the camp management arranged to have a small helicopter carry myself and two other guests across the river to the camp."

Kicheche Bush Camp
"KIcheche Bush Camp"
4 nights
Arrived
20 Jan 2020
"My experience at Bush Camp was excellent! This was my second stay at this camp and both times I was very impressed. The facilities are excellent and the variety of the wildlife and scenery is second to none. All of the game drives were very good, including several Leopard sightings.
The roads and paths were muddy in some places due to earlier rains which made driving a bit difficult at times."

The only negative I experienced was that the body wash and shampoo dispensers on the shower were empty and there was none supplied in individual containers either."
