"Kenya Safari"

I visited Kenya between 4 Sep 2016 and 17 Sep 2016
"Great trip, everything we had hoped for an more. Visiting four seperate lodges helped us gain perspective and insight. Having one road transfer from Sambura to Borana was an added benefit both in terms of our enjoyment and saving some money while avoiding the cost of air transfer for that leg of the trip.

Regarding our transfer from Sambura to Borana, I think the transfer driver was named Nicholas. We hadn't left Sambura for more that two minutes when he started pointing out details about every plant and animal in sight. Our three hour transfer turned into a four hour safari that was filled with details and infomation beyond what anyone else was providing. This guy was the best and most informative guide we met on our entire trip." Read full review: 13 nights in Africa; 12 on a Kenya safari

"My Aug 2016 trip"

I visited Kenya between 27 Aug 2016 and 6 Sep 2016
"Many thanks to Richard for putting together such an enjoyable trip, and in particular for the encouragement to consider a camp in the main Reserve as well as the Mara Conservancies.

While the Reserve was obviously busier, the location and quality of the guiding at Rekero were superb and we were really pleased to have included it in the itinerary." Read full review: 10 nights in Africa; 10 on a Kenya safari

"My Aug 2016 trip"

I visited Kenya between 18 Aug 2016 and 25 Aug 2016
"I do not typically use travel services, but I will never regret doing so for this. Richard Trillo is an expert on Kenyan travel without peer.

All of his advice proved invaluable and allowed my family to have a holiday that we will never forget. I couldn't be happier with everything.

"A wonderful adventure that we'll never forget"

I visited Kenya and 1 other country between 18 Jul 2016 and 2 Aug 2016
"Our honeymoon was many months in the planning but boy, was it worth it.

We had an absolutely epic adventure in Kenya and Zanzibar - we saw and experienced so much. We are truly fortunate to have been able to visit such extraordinary places and wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others any of the places we visited. The trip of a lifetime!"

"Exceptional"

I visited Rwanda and 1 other country between 8 Jul 2016 and 19 Jul 2016
"Such a wonderful experience amongst some of the beautiful creatures with which we share this planet.

Combining the peaceful vegetarian Mountain Gorillas in the dense green forests of the Virungas, with the dusty, teeming expanse of the Maasai Mara at the time of the Great Migration gave a tremendous contrast in atmosphere and context.

Very good sighting experiences in both Rwanda and Kenya with knowledgeable guiding from local people with a real connection to the environment they were working in.

This was my first safari, and I think that if you appreciate the peace and grandeur of nature's wonders then there can be no better way to de-compress from everyday life than time spent in a camp like Naboisho.

The brochure is quite a piece of work !

I know such collateral is tremendously labour intensive and expensive to produce but I do very much appreciate it and I think it does articulate well your expertise and commitment to this market. If I do come to plan another African trip, it will be my go to resource." Read full review: 11 nights in Africa; 5 on a Rwanda safari
