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!"

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.

It was fun to feed, watch and learn about the giraffes.
A bonus was to watch the local warthog and her babies.
Sarara
"Sarara review"
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!!"

The Emakoko
"The Emakoko review"
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!"
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."
