Giraffe Manor
"Giraffe Manor review"
2 nights
Arrived
23 Aug 2022
"Absolute highlight of the trip, for mum especially, feeding the giraffes in the evening and then again in the morning before breakfast.
We were in Jock's room on the front corner and had our first visitor outside our window at 5.30 in the morning! The old country house rooms add to the atmosphere, all very well-kept and spacious enough not to feel crowded, apart from maybe the breakfast room which is understandably very busy in the morning.
The staff also deserve a special mention, they are all incredibly attentive, polite and friendly, if you need anything just ask!"

Governors' Il Moran Camp
"Governors' Il Moran Camp review"
5 nights
Arrived
25 Aug 2022
"The camp is as good as it looks in the pictures, nicely decorated and well maintained.
The staff were efficient and friendly, the security detail were always on hand to escort us around the site and they too were always polite and helpful.
Our Guide was great, always trying to get us to the best photo spots, he loves the beautiful scenery and wildlife, wanting to show it off so more people can see it. We had breakfast out almost every morning as he was eager to take us far and wide to make the most of every day we had."

Kinondo Kwetu
"Kinondo Kwetu review"
5 nights
Arrived
30 Aug 2022
"A peaceful final stop for our holiday, after being out on safari we were content to just relax and this was the perfect place for that.
Each day we saw at most a dozen other guests and easily as many staff members, making this the ideal place to go for a quiet break. The secluded strip of beach meant that the only people outside the site we saw were the occasional passing fishermen.
The staff were all very polite and friendly, working hard to make sure we had everything we wanted. The food was excellent, always a set lunch and dinner of mostly seafood due to the location, written up in advance so you have opportunity to request something else. I'm quite a fussy eater but never had to ask for something different.
This was such a lovely place we were sad to leave to travel home."
