Moreover, we were personally guided at every customer touch point.
We didn't carry our luggage once on a trip that had ten flights and 4 locations.
We had amazing weather, great game viewing and superb service throughout.
There was so many special moments on our trip from sunset by Kilimanjaro, to the hot air balloon over the Mara and having a personal chef in the bush for breakfast.
Parita and Expert Africa were fanatic throughout. We got amazing lodges considering our last minute booking and at great value.
Parita assisted with all aspects from plugs to vaccines and everything in-between. She really helped to make this trip a truly magical experience!"

Thet also approached the bush breakfast and sundowners in a slightly different way with staff waiting at certain locations ready to serve you when you arrived.
This meant we had a hot breakfast in the bush complete with chef and set table.
The sundowners being served high on a hill will mount Kilimanjaro as the backdrop was magical.
It's nice to have a pool although it does get a lot of debris in it quickly.
Staff all very friendly.
Game drives have nice scenery and lots of elephants."

Basecamp Leopard Hill
"Basecamp Leopard Hill review"
All food was a la carte and nothing was too much trouble for the staff.
They arranged a private dinner on the decking around the fire pit which was lovely.
The balloon ride over the Mara was also a fantastic experience.
We did sundowners in a different location every night.
Solomon our guide worked hard to ensure we saw a large range of animals including an amazing leopard sighting."

Balloon flight over the Mara
"Balloon flight over the Mara review"
1 Mar 2025 • Morning excursion
Seeing the sunrise over The Mara and it really gives you an appreciation of how vast the landscape is.
It's really interesting seeing all of the animals in their groups but over such a large area.
The balloon captain was also good fun and takes lots of pictures.
The champagne breakfast is a really nice way to end the morning.
Ubuntu Camp
"Ubuntu Camp review"
We liked the social aspect of the camp with guests encouraged to mingle at the firepit and eat their evening meal as a collective.
The camp had a magical atmosphere and our guide here was our best of the trip.
Samuel was excellent and went out of his way to find extremely rare sightings such as the black rhino.
This was an Asilia camp and I felt that out of all the places we stayed this had the clearest brand identity. You could really tell it was part of the Asilia group."
