"My Nov 2022 trip"
"My Oct 2022 trip"
We couldn't be more thankful with the way Jessica dealt with various changes in our schedules, through the pandemic, and afterwards.
She was patient, kind, and always at hand to reply to queries. This trip was what it was because of all her attention to detail.
We must also mention George of Southern Safaris, who was incredibly helpful on our last day in Nairobi, driving us around the city and waiting while we had a late dinner since our flight was at midnight, insisting all the while that we not hurry and instead enjoy his city."

Thank you so much Lyndsey, you hit the nail on the head with this one.

It was an excellent way for three generations of our family to have an enjoyable holiday together." Read full review: 14 nights in Africa; 13 on a Kenya safari
"A truly memorable holiday."
Our teenagers declared it the best holiday we've had and did not complain once about all the early mornings.
The camps, wildlife, people and hotels exceeded our expectations.
Having had to wait for 2 years for this trip it more than lived up to expectations and we feel incredibly lucky to have been.

"Our Kenyan Adventure! "
So pleased with our choice of accommodation. Olivia (who moved on to pastures new after our trip was organised) gave thorough advice on safari camps taking into consideration our needs as a family. Thrilled with her recommendation of Kicheche Valley. We were looking at Hemingways at Watamu - a traditional beachside hotel, however wanting to be more adventurous she gently steered us towards Kinondo. So pleased she did.
Jessica became our point of contact. She was just as experienced, helpful and understanding answering questions. When BA cancelled our outbound flight she remained very calm and positive with her fretful client on the other end of the phone! All very much appreciated.
This was a trip to introduce the wonders of Africa to my husband and son. Safari was very much out of my husband’s comfort zone. Giraffe Manor had been on my bucket list for many years and we were celebrating a special wedding anniversary so he succumbed to persuasion.
It has been a life changing experience for him. He absolutely loved the whole experience of being on safari and says he left a little part of him in Kenya!
I’m thrilled that our Kenyan adventure was such a success, so many wonderful memories. We all fell in love with the country and its people.
So, if you’re reading this and thinking we’d like to go on safari but not sure if it’s for us … GO, you’ll have a wonderful time!
