Travel reviews by Ms S from London

"Our stay at Kicheche Laikipia was fantastic on every front - we were thrilled to be there for a second time.

Simon was such a knowledgable guide, and the entire team were so welcoming and took excellent care of us.

There was a bit less of a concentration of wildlife for this Nov trip versus in July, but we still saw everything we wanted to at least once."

"The hotel felt very secure and was comfortable: nicely designed rooms, quite a large bed, free bottled water and generally quiet. The only issue I had was there wasn't any hot water when I got in, around 11:30pm."

"I would change absolutely nothing about my stay at Kicheche Laikipia; everything was perfect. The food was delicious and varied, the rooms were exceptionally designed and very private (each tent was in a separate clearing in the trees, with a lovely view of a watering hole), and the staff truly anticipated every need. Peter was an excellent guide, and Louise was a fantastic camp manager. Couldn't have asked for more, will be recommending it to everyone."

"Offbeat was lovely. Amazing food and community feel, a lot of folks ate dinner together alongside camp management (Jennifer and Carol, who were amazing), and the Mara North reserve itself was great. The tents were very comfortable, although missing a few luxuries (no outlets for phone charging or running hot water) but nothing that wasn't fine for a few days. The staff and other guests were definitely the highlight though, it was wonderful getting to know everyone!"

"Little Governor's was absolutely stunning. The decor was beautiful, the dining area and the tents looked out onto a marsh which regularly had elephants, warthogs, hippos and lots of birds, which was very special. The staff were very attentive and lovely (Jackson was the best guide I had all trip), and George, the camp manager, checked in every day to make sure we were having a good experience. The tents themselves were very comfortable, with showers, outlets, wifi, etc. - the only downside was they're all quite close to each other so there's not a lot of privacy, you can often hear neighbours voices & etc. The food was the only thing that was a bit disappointing; the picnic breakfasts and lunches were always lovely but there were a few instances in dining room of us receiving different items than were listed on the menu (lasagna instead of risotto for example). But overall, a great experience!"
