David McMurphy review 19 Oct 20124 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


The Holiday had so many exciting moments it is hard to pick just a few. The Lion and the Wildebeest at the Mara River was one. When the herd of Elephants came into camp one night that was exciting. The Leopard was really cool, it just goes on and on.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Have lots of memory in your camera and good batteries

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?


I feel the trip really helped the locals. The environmenal footprint we left was very very small. Our guides were so professional and dedicated to to the Animals and environment. I just can't say enough about how we were treated and cared for.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


It was one of the best holidays we have ever been on

Peter Eggleston review 1 Nov 20104 star rating

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?


Too many to recount here. A brilliant Tuesday in the Masai Mara, a humbling view of other cultures, meeting wonderful people almost wherever we went.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?


Pack for camping, not for guest house stays. Revise your expectations of accommodation facilities before you go. Some is very good, most is acceptable, some a bit crap.

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, and minimized impacts on the environment?


Benefit local people - definitely, the trip uses locally owned businesses, no large chains or global corporations involved at all. It is difficult to imagine a green safari - far too much reliance on vehicles for that.

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?


Fabulous, exceeded my expectations by a mile.
