Kicheche Bush Camp
"Kicheche Bush Camp review"
I wasn't really sure what to expect but whatever it was, it wasn't near as good as the reality! My tent was anything but a tent! Nice sitting area, lovely bedroom and just about the largest shower I've ever seen! We did have a problem with a toilet that only flushed occasionally. They worked on it for the whole time we were there but it wasn't fixed by the time we left.
Lunch was served outside under a beautiful tree, watch out for birds;-) and was always delicious and entertaining with all of the stories of the morning drive.
Dinner was a little more formal and served in the dining area of the main building. The food was always excellent ! It was a good time to compare what we had seen on the afternoon drive and to get to know some of the other guests. Service was always 5 star.
My biggest wish for this trip was to see adult male lions and that came true on the first day, along with lionesses with theirs cubs, cheetahs, giraffes and more zebras then I could count."

Kicheche Mara
"Kicheche Mara review"
A fire pit and drinks every night on the return from our drives. Sammy was always there to meet us with his big smile.
Our guides, Saruni and George were so informative and fun! Breakfast at the hippo pool was a real highlight here.
I wish I could remember the name of our hostess here :-( She was absolutely fabulous in every way."

The Emakoko
"The Emakoko review"
My one complaint would be the way I was dropped off at the airport. Peter was not able to stop close to our terminal and did not help us in retrieving a cart to carry our luggage. He unloaded the luggage and left us to find our way. After the excellent way I was greeted when I arrived in Nairobi, I was expecting better."

The food in the onsite restaurant was delicious! A wonderful breakfast buffet and great choices for lunch.
All of the girls working there were so courteous and always had beautiful smiles."
