My Jan 2024 trip

Kenya between 24 Jan 2024 and 19 Feb 2024

Trip rating: Excellent
"This was my first trip overseas!

What an unbelievably fantastic adventure it was. No words or photographs can capture the experience. The trip was so much more than my expectations.

Nancie was absolutely wonderful and so helpful with out never ending questions.

BRAVO to one and all!"

Tamarind Tree Hotel

Tamarind Tree Hotel

"Tamarind Tree Hotel review"

3 nights Arrived 25 Jan 2024
"The reservation for two beds not correct. The room assigned had a one bed which was not a great way to start the trip when very tired upon arrival. However, the hotel staff quickly found a twin bed room so all was fixed. Nevertheless, an irritant. I am rating the hotel room "good" based on the reservation mix-up.

The staff was quick to answer any and all questions. Given the fact this was a first trip to Kenya (and Africa), their patience was much appreciated.

The location seemed a little sketchy but it didn't matter since I wasn't interested in exploring the city. The hotel grounds were great and it was terrific to sit outside and enjoy the warmer weather."

Nairobi Elephant Orphanage visit

Nairobi Elephant Orphanage visit

"Nairobi Elephant Orphanage visit review"

27 Jan 2024 • Morning excursion

This was a great visit.

Tremendous work is being accomplished for these majestic animals. It was fantastic to be in a private audience and move among the babies. It was a highlight of the day.

Fascinating to learn how the elephants are returned to the wild.

"Nairobi Giraffe Centre visit review"

27 Jan 2024 • All-day excursion

Very interesting to learn more about the purpose of the Centre.

It was fun to feed, watch and learn about the giraffes.

A bonus was to watch the local warthog and her babies.

"Sarara review"

3 nights Arrived 28 Jan 2024
"Words cannot describe what an absolutely lovely camp this is. The location takes your breath away. It was the perfect spot to start the safari.

The tents were lovely, comfortable with views from the porches that were just stellar. The Manager, Guides, and staff were so very welcoming and absolutely first rate as were all the delicious meals that were served.

There were no step stools for the trucks but one of the guides went out of his way to find a solution - a plastic milk crate did the trick!! The room was not set up for twin beds upon arrival but staff quickly made the change to twin beds.

Can't say enough good things about this camp!!"

"Reteti Elephant Orphanage visit review"

29 Jan 2024 • Morning excursion

I cannot say enough about the wonderful and amazing work being done here - not only for the orphaned elephants but the Samburu community.

It was an excellent presentation and learned a great deal about elephants and their care.

It was an absolute highlight.

The Emakoko

The Emakoko

"The Emakoko review"

1 night Arrived 6 Feb 2024
"The Emakoko was very nice and a great, refreshing respite on the last day. The rooms and meals were wonderful as was the staff.

However, the major complaint I had was not knowing what to expect at the Nairobi airport.

It was absolutely chaotic - through no fault of the driver - but rather the fact I had no idea what to expect other than being told it would take awhile to get through. That was an understatement - yowzer!"
