Masai Mara is an amazing experience and wish I had stayed a little longer. Lake Nakuru is also a wonderous place that needs to be visited. I plan to go again at some point.our guide was Absolutely terrific and we were lucky to be teamed up with some awesome people. I thought I had written this review already but I’m being reminded to do it so it is a little late in but I would tell anyone to just go do it. We could hear Hyena’s laughing at night time from our tent. We visited the Masai village which is an experience and a great insight as to how they live. Oh the tea they make you is very sweet but very very nice. It says we visited July but would allow me put the Jan ‘19 in it.

Just to summarize it. Not worth the price paid !!! Very bad organization and poor planning . Camp was good but the hotel after that was a disappointment. Car provided for the safari was very old and very uncomfortable. Lunch boxes organized during the safari tours were of poor quality ( be ready to starve all day if you dont bring any snacks)

Expertise at its finest. To me, Lake Elementaita was just a pool of water with some flamingoes, until Oluokos came in with the magic. The mastery on his knowldege of the greater and little flamingoes, their feeding habits, their migration patterns, their psychology has made me an aspiring birder. I now admire the elegance of the great pelicans and enjoy the sparkle of the bicarbonate soda lake Elementaiata. With confidence, i can now point out to the wood hoopoes in our compound and identify the lilac breasted rolller. Oluoko is the just pro. BIG UP

5. 4 Days Kisumu Adventures

Urbema Safaris

Kisumu City is a quiet port town on the shores of Lake Victoria with wide streets and fine colonial architecture. The best way to appreciate the beauty of this region is on the lake itself. The sun shines brightly, and gentle breezes rise from the water. In trees along the shore, Fish Eagles call to each other with long haunting cries. Sunsets turn the water to gold, as the local fisherman in their canoes pull in their nets and slowly turn for home.

We did the 3 day Private Maasai Safari tour. Our tour guy Joel exceeded our expectations and so much more. He was very knowledgeable about the animals and the land. I was able to get some amazing pictures that look like post card. He has so much passion and love for the animals. I learn more from him than I did at the zoo. You can tell he really love his job and it shows. Our safety was Joel number one priority. I felt safe at all time. Thank you Joel for being so patience when we was shopping . He never rush us, or told us to hurry up. He let us shop to we drop. I definitely recommend Joel as your tour guide you’ll have so much fun and learn so much with great photos to show all your friends. Thanks for the trip of a lifetime. I have so many great memories and I’ll definitely will be back!

The accommodations, food, and general treatment provided by this horrible company were horrific to say the least. None of the list of accommodations were ever fulfilled and places we were promised to visit were never fulfilled. The food was all but inedible. The vehicles were so old and beat up that there virtually was no padding or support in the seats. Our trip was scuttled 2/3 of the way through and the company refused to refund us for money that we lost because of their negligence. This is but a scant overview of what can be expected. Buyer beware. Any good reviews of this company most likely came from them not anyone who paid for their services. They are scam artists.
