HITS - Kenya Safari Review
by Sue Warren
(Scotland)
Kenya is a wonderful country, from many good reviews I had read about Kenya, it was a matter of time and when my time came, I searched through many forums including Trip Advisor and Holiday Inspirations had all the info and good review I needed.We flew to Nairobi and Freddy the owner picked us from the airport to Hotel Boulevard in the city, for the first night.
The second day, through the nice views of the Rift Valley we arrived at the Nakuru National park and we were amazed by the number of flamingos in this enormous lake. We were able to see the rhinos, white and black, many lions, giraffes and but surprisingly our guide Alex said there were no elephants at this Park.
Nakuru Safari Lodge was excellent, food, accommodation and the views.
In the Mara we arrived in time for lunch at the Fig Tree Camp, and on the way we saw mating lions and countless wildebeests. In the Maasai Mara we saw the big 5, thanks to our guide who seemed to know where to find them.
The climax was our next day balloon flight, and a champagne breakfast all organised by HITS.
We flew to south coast from Mara for a nice sea breeze at Diani Sea Resort for 3 nights. Hotel was fabulous, nice fresh food, rooms spacious.
After 3 nights beach holiday, we started our 3 days Safari to Tasvo West & Amboseli with overnight at Ngulia Safari Lodge, very clean lodge with view to the rhinos sanctuary; thanks to their big binoculars, rooms with big bed, very memorable moments.
Setrim Camp in Amboseli was excellent, very new, and clean facilities. The weather was clear blue sky and we were happy to see Kilimanjaro clearly.
Our guide took us to Nairobi Airport for our flight home.
Keep it up HITS, we shall be back.
