My Jan 2023 trip
Kenya between 27 Jan 2023 and 5 Feb 2023
"Really pleased with all the planning although the travel pack only arrived a week in advance and it would have been helpful to have this earlier.
Although the advice was to take anti malaria tablets we didn’t see any mosquito at either lodge."

"Great lodge staff providing a lovely homely atmosphere with excellent service.
Option of different activities such as walking or riding safaris but we stuck with a traditional jeep based which allowed us to cover the different terrains with ease. A bonus was that guides communicated with each other by mobile phone so there was no noisy radio accompanying us.
Loads of animals spotted on drives to and from the airstrip as well."

"The lodge staff were helpful and friendly and excellently headed up by Becca and Lewis.
We found our guide Lucas highly knowledgeable but sadly he was rather arrogant and full of his own importance which meant that we enjoyed our drives more when he was leading walks and we had different guides who listened to what we wanted to do."

24 gym was a super bonus
Excellent choice at breakfast.
Would have scored more but we were woken at 2.30am by someone continually ringing the bell on our room door which interrupted our night."
