Elephants are my all time passion and it had been my dream to see one in its own surrounding.

We arrived at the lodge at Samburu and in front of our lodge were five elephants playing in the river. I cannot tell you or explain the feeling as I sat on a tree trunk with my armed guard companion and watched as they played in the water.

The whole experience was wonderful, full of thrills and excitement. The feeling when a lazy lion wanders past you ignoring your existence only a few feet away from your vehicle is wonderful. Or the bull elephant who wants to cross and you are in his way.

I got so many thrills and excitement not only from seeing my beloved elephants but every animal we came across made you hold your breath in wonder. I am not sure now which animal is my favourite.

I think everyone should go and experience the wonders of Africa. The animals, the culture, the people. We returned from Africa with our eyes opened at the hardship for the people and the cruelty for the animals. We hope one day to return and will try and help in any way till then.

4 days mara/L. Nakuru
by: Stephen Mcveigh

Great customer care service before checking in. Staff more than happy to negotiate and be flexible. Main praise is for our driver Alexander the Great who made our trip unforgotable and was my first safari guide who got us a leopard sighting!!!. In fact there was two. Supa! will definitely recommend to my friends.

12 DAYS KENYA ADVENTURE SAFARI AHA 030
by: MARY PHILLIS NOGUEIRA X 02

Odhis gave us an excellent 12 days adventure safari, he knew his animals and birds and uses his very good eye sight to sport game for us. If he did not know the name of a particular bird, he would look up the information in his guide.

At no time were we rushed, the various campsites the cooks were super at there jobs and always eager to please.

It was an excellent (small) holiday and got more than what we expected. Our guide always went the extra mile to give us a memorable experience. the country - The people were friendly, Beautiful, The culture breathtaking I do however wish the facilities at the campsite be made more user friendly ? involve the guests with the staff ?other guests. Overall excellent. Thumbs up for ODHIS the driver he was excellent

8 Days Masai Mara/L.Nakuru/Aberdares and Samburu Lodge Safari
by: KAREN WONG AND NEIL McLEAN

Our Guide Edward is a very good driver, knowledgeable about the animals +gave us the opportunity to see + photograph all the animals. He is very professional and has a good sense of humor.

We thoroughly enjoyed all of the parks each one has very different, but i would recommend a shorter game drive in Aberdares and long time at the treetops lodge instead to see the Elephants.

The hot air baloon ride in masai mara was an experience of a lifetime, we would highly recomend baloon safaris. Nickson organized a great itenerary we appreciated his flexibility in accommodation our schedule at a very short notice.
We had an incredible time !!! Thank You.
