"Tamarind Tree Hotel review"

3 nights Arrived 14 Jan 2025
"Hotel was fine, clean and staff very friendly.

It was very loud at night as it seems their bar area is used by locals for fun too and we were there during a very loud celebration."

2 nights Arrived 17 Jan 2025
"Laikipia was a great intro to our experience… from the wide view of the river within 5 minutes we saw group of elephants strolling through the other side and eventually, giraffes, eland, monkeys, ostrich, etc

Anita was warm and charming, staff easy and accommodating.

Food was wonderful!"

This was moving, informative and though so sad was also inspiring to learn the lengths they are going to try to bring back the breed

Kicheche Bush Camp

Kicheche Bush Camp

"Kicheche Bush Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 19 Jan 2025
"Loved this camp, had an amazing Maasai welcome (or perhaps just for Nancie)

Staff were so accommodating… food was even better and GLADYS even shared one of her recipes with me!

Really appreciated the tour of the ”back of the house” where we saw how the camp worked, use of solar and recycling etc

Dido was wonderful, I learned so much from our guide Patrick (who could teach a class anywhere,)

Loved the balloon ride and saw so many gorgeous animals,"

I enjoyed beading with Maasai women"
