My Oct 2024 trip
Kenya between 4 Oct 2024 and 20 Oct 2024
"Extremely well organized. Everything ran smoothly. Great locations and overall amazing camps. Only small criticism would be that food is all “western” orientated and camps often had a colonial feel which can jar somewhat.
Having said that, this was the trip of a lifetime. Thoroughly recommend."
