My Mar 2025 Kenyan Safari

Kenya between 4 Mar 2025 and 21 Mar 2025

Trip rating: Excellent
"A wonderful experience and unique adventure unlike any other urban trip I've taken. The combination of Amboseli (elephants and Mt. Kilimanjaro) and Masai Mara (big cats and Masai natives) was perfect for me, and a 5 day duration was just right. I also liked the contrast of a national park (Amboseli) vs. a private conservancy (Naboisho.)

Planning of the trip was stress-free: Lyndsey was in contact with me by phone or email at each step. All of my questions and concerns were addressed within 24 hrs considering the time difference between L.A. and London. Even during my trip, Lyndsey was available to answer questions. This was not a cheap package, although the cost was in line with other companies I researched. Considering the top-notch accommodations and glitch-free experience, I consider it money well spent.

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service: You're doing a great job!"

Tawi Lodge

Tawi Lodge

"Tawi Lodge"

2 nights Arrived 4 Mar 2025
"Incredibly friendly and gracious staff. It was nice to see that the manager is a Black African and not a European transplant. Well-appointed spacious tented room. My room did not have a view , and I wish that this could have been requested. Excellent meals with plenty of options.

Two game rides per day, one in the early morning and another in the afternoon. The lodge backs onto a watering hole, so there is opportunity to see plenty of animals (zebras, elephants, etc.) even when not on a ride. There was road work being done in the National Park, so rides were bumpy and dusty in sections. I shared the rides with one other person on the second day."

Naboisho Camp

Naboisho Camp

"Naboisho Camp"

3 nights Arrived 6 Mar 2025
"Naboisho has just undergone a recent renovation, and the accommodations were really incredible! Very spacious tented room with modern African-inspired interior design, floor to ceiling windows with views of the landscape, separate dressing area, and outdoor shower.

Service was top-notch, from the managers to the wait staff to a personal attendant during my stay. Meals were communal unless requested otherwise, something which i appreciated as I was a solo traveler. Communal dining allowed exchange of information with other travelers and interaction with the managers, of which there was at least one at each meal. There was also a teatime in the late afternoon.

There were two game rides per day, one at dawn and another at dusk when animals were most active. We saw plenty of animals including big cats, and by the third day, I felt as if I had seen everything. Nature walks were also an option although I wasn't aware of this until the last day so I did not go on one. I decided to unwind by the pool on my last afternoon, and though there was a bar at the pool, I did not see a bartender over those few hours."
