This was our first experience on a safari in Kenya, taking in Amboseli, Nakuru and the Masai Mara. The tour was extremely well-organised and we had an absolutely brilliant driver... read more guide in Robert, who was not only very knowledgeable, but also enthusiastic and, above all, patient!
Possibly the most important aspect of the tour, however, was the hands-on approach of the owner/managers - I had a medical crisis shortly after arriving in our first camp at Amboseli and not only was Imraan in constant touch with Robert and other members of our small group, but he organised and facilitated medical care as well as proposing a variety of alternative options so that we could carry on with the tour, either as planned or with a few adjustments. Thankfully it all turned out well and we were able to continue with the original plan, missing only a small portion of it. This made me realise just how crucial it was to be travelling with an organisation that was so knowledgeable and particularly engaged with every aspect of the tour - the sense of security and relief this provided to both my husband and myself was invaluable.
The resulting experience simply outdid any of my expectations and I shall always treasure the memories of my first adventure on a Kenyan safari - the vast numbers of animals we saw, the staggeringly beautiful landscapes of Kenya and, most of all, the people, will remain ingrained in my memory for a lifetime.
