My Sep 2019 trip

Kenya between 18 Sep 2019 and 27 Sep 2019

Trip rating: Excellent
"This was our first safari. Everything about it matched our expectations.

Highlights were seeing a black rhino, lion cubs and cheetahs on a kill. Another highlight was visiting the Masai which was a very moving experience.

Bush breakfast in Amboseli under an acacia tree was fun too!

Suggestions to help us improve our trips or our service:

Olivia absolutely found the trip I was looking for."

Tortilis Camp

Tortilis Camp

"Tortilis Camp review"

3 nights Arrived 19 Sep 2019
"Nothing can prepare you for the view that Tortilis camp offers. The dining area faces Kilimanjaro and we were lucky to be able to see the mountain every day (it wasn't shrouded in mist!).

There is a man made watering hole which attracts animals. Our tent was vast with a very comfortable bed. No view of the mountain though.

The food was satisfactory. Usually soup and then a buffet.

We were struck at the variety of terrain in Amboseli from swamp to moon like landscape."

Ngare Serian

Ngare Serian

"Ngare Serian review"

4 nights Arrived 22 Sep 2019
"Ngare Serian is special. From the moment you cross the river over the swing bridge (which is actually quite wobbly and scary!) you know you're entering a special place. It felt like the team here became friends for that short while.

Our guide Steve and his assistant Irene can spot wildlife with X ray eyes.

The food here is outstanding. The tents are vast with outdoor bathrooms.

We spent a night in the camp's new tree house (there was some confusion about this: Serian don't appear to be advertising the new treehouse extensively) I did cross that rope bridge for the last time with a heavy heart."
