Travel reviews by FS from Dorset

"Arrived for a late check in after our flight from London, clean room, comfortable bed, good buffet breakfast before we left early for our first safari.

Of a standard expected for a international hotel."

"Excellent camp with tents that were secluded and well appointed. The food was delicious and we were well looked after by the camp staff.

The atmosphere was laid back and informal which worked well in a small camp. We enjoyed pre dinner drinks around a camp fire every night and the fireplace in the dinner tent gave it a cosy feel.

Our guide Albert was excellent, he was knowledgeable, listened to what we wanted and was able to deliver on our requests over the time we were with him. We managed to see the big five and a cheetah here.

We had a wonderful time at this camp!"

"Another excellent kicheche camp, the tents were spread out along the river, ours was private, comfortable and had a superb shower.

The camp staff were friendly, they looked after us well and all of the food was high quality and delicious. This was a more formal camp than the previous camp we stayed at, with the management being less visable.

Our guide Dixon was excellent, extremely knowledge of both mammels and birds and knew how to position the vehicle to us to view the behaviour of the wildlife. We managed to see a cheetah take down a thompson gazelle, he also spotted lions hunting a baby giraffe for us and we saw leopards mating. We saw the big 5 for this area (they don't have rhino), we were extremely lucky with our sightings and we didn't think each day would be better than the previous day but some how it was.

We had an experience of a lifetime here, it was fabulous!"

"We came here to relax after 8 nights on safari and this was a perfect place for that.

Our cottage was rustic with a comfortable bed and a good shower but the lighting was dark in the main bedroom. We were well looked after by all the staff, the food was excellent with lots of fish courses which were all delicious. We also enjoyed the pre dinner cocktails and liked that we sitted at a different table each night where we enjoyed Kenyan White Wine with our dinner.

We took advantage of the beach shoes and snorkeling equipment provided, while this wasn't outstanding we did see starfish, sea urchins, octopus and lots of different fish. The main pool was a balmy 36 degrees but beware of the monkeys especially if you have a drink by the pool!

It was a lovely end to our stay in Kenya."
