My Jan 2024 trip
Kenya between 7 Jan 2024 and 18 Jan 2024
The animal sightings, which were the driving force behind my desire to travel to Kenya, were beyond my wildest dreams.
I felt escorted through each step on my itinerary, which was very important to me as I was traveling solo.
I greatly appreciated the support I received and plan to return to Africa in the not-so-distant future.
Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:
I can’t think of a thing to add regarding your excellent service and selection of travel options!"

Sosian
"Sosian review"
The main lodge and cottages are beautifully appointed and very comfortable, taking excellent advantage of the outdoor spaces, which is great because the weather is fantastic.
The staff is very flexible in meeting their guests’ needs and wants. The guides were great at finding and spotting wildlife. I was able to do driving and walking safaris.
Those riding will appreciate the guides’ expertise in both providing exciting game viewing, often quite close, as well as assuring safety.
I’m pescatarian and the chef made me special meals that were absolutely delicious."

Offbeat Mara
"Offbeat Mara review"
The property is part of the private Mara North Conservancy, which abuts the Masai Mara Reserve. There is an abundance of wildlife and fewer vehicles than in the reserve. The camp is flexible but the morning drive typically starts at 6:15 am. Breakfast is taken at ~9 am in the bush, continuing afterwards until the return back to camp at around noon. The afternoon drive usually starts at 4:30 pm, ending in sundowners in the bush before returning to camp for dinner at 8 pm.
The guides are excellent at getting guests close to exciting wildlife. The staff provides excellent service and we’re all very personable. I’m pescatarian and the chef took special care to make me delicious meals for me each night. This camp was an excellent complement to Sosian."

The staff were very helpful. I slept well and the space was small but very comfortable, more than enough for my brief stay.
Breakfast in the morning was in a restaurant overlooking a lovely outdoor space, in which you can also eat, if you choose."
