Kenya Cultural, religious and historic sites Reviews

5 - Excellent
Based on 23 customer reviews
Amazing Sights and Wildlife Encounters
4 - Very Good
  • Mikaela Elizabeth Dibble-Kahn
“This trip was full of amazing people, places and of course wildlife. There are a lot of early mornings and long days of driving and it can be exhausting setting up and breaking down camp almost everyday, but I you want to see a lot of countries and places that you wouldn't usually be able to reach and you have a limited amount of time, then this tour is great. As a solo female traveler, I felt safe and comfortable during this trip and made a lot of other traveling nomad friends during this adventure that I plan to travel with in the future. They were also very good at providing vegan food for every meal for those of us who requested it. My favorite part was the Serengeti, absolutely unreal some of the encounters we had.”

“Mic's friendly personality was appreciated by all the passengers and we really enjoyed meeting up with her again after our travels with her last year in India. Matt again drove us safely along some very trying roads.”

  • Paul D
“The trip highlight was defiantly the visits to the Tarangire National Park, Serengeti and Ngorongoro Crater. Had several fantastic games drives and seen a wide variety of animals including the big 5. The driving team and chef for the trip worked very hard to also make the trip great. I really enjoyed the team aspect and all working together to ensure a good trip was had.”
