Brilliant trip,my first with explore and thoroughly enjoyed it. Our team leader and guude Joshua was great knew places to go so we saw everything we wanted and more.
If you get chance to go then do so it was amazing!
I was cared for very well and every day was an adventure, spotting all sorts of wildlife. The vehicles and tracks in the Masai Mara were very bumpy at times and you get bounced around. This is known locally as an 'African massage'. Don't think you are going to be sitting still in the vehicle, because you are not. You can stand up and take photos and ask the driver to stop if you spot something.
The accommodation was extremely comfortable with lovely friendly and helpful local staff. The food was also very good and I think everyone is catered for regarding diet as it is mostly a buffet with many choices.
I need to go on a diet after this.
I went on my own but was in good company as everyone is there for the love of wildlife.
We had one glitch in Tsavo where we were given a driver/guide who was a freelance person and not as good as the others with his communication as to what we were doing and his skills to spot things, though he did his best. That driver then had to leave as and we were arranged with another driver who worked for the Kilaguni Lodge and was much better.
At the Ark Lodge, they feed the birds at times in the evening enabling people to see more birds and wildlife close up.
Similarly at Sarova Lodge.
Kilaguni Lodge in Tsavo has a terrace with beautiful outlook overlooking the African plains and a water hole with many animals and birds coming to drink. Each accommodation has its own special aspects.
It was an epic decision for me to spend that much money on a holiday but I am really glad I did so as I had a very memorable and fabulous time.
