"Jan 2023 - Fantastic trip."
We saw some amazing game and were spoilt throughout. The Kenyan people are wonderful and the country is world leading in several areas - such as the long term ban on hunting and the high penalties for poaching which has curtailed such practices. The private conservancies provide an exclusive experience and carry out best practices in game conservation as well as getting buy in from local tribes by ensuring they are compensated and by ensuring traditional grazing can continue but subject to restrictions.
Our one negative comment on Kenya is how the departure experience (arrival is fine) at Nairobi international airport lets the country down - the queues for passport control and the four security scans are excruciatingly long and mis-managed (on airport perimeter arrival, to enter the terminal, at security and again at the gate!!). There were no queues for the BA flight check in and we had fast track status and it took us 1 hour 40 minutes of queuing to get through.
We spoke to a man traveling on a different airline (there were some huge check in queues for other airlines) and the whole process took him 4.5 hours. Our flight was delayed 40 minutes waiting for some passengers. The terminal is too small for the amount of flights and there aren't enough staff. Arrive 3 hours before flying as a minimum.

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.
Lyndsey listened to every small request we had, nothing was too obscure or silly for her and she made everything work. She tailored a fantastic belated honeymoon for us." Read full review: 15 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari

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.

Nothing - just to say a hug thank you for making this such a superb holiday.
Having everything in place made it so much easier and the choice of camps and Asha hotel suited us perfectly. Thank you." Read full review: 16 nights in Africa; 14 on a Kenya safari
