"Our November 2019 Safari"
"Great Experience"
We stayed in a luxury traditional lodge, as well as a small, bush tent camp. Between the two experiences we saw all the big five, and many more animals as well. We saw the endangered rhinos and Grevey zebras, as well as a pair of leopards matting, cheetah cubs, and the wildebeests on their endless marches.
I don't think much more could have been packed into one week." Read full review: 8 nights in Africa; 8 on a Kenya safari
