My Jan 2022 trip
Kenya between 11 Jan 2022 and 21 Jan 2022
"A magical trip returning to a place we visited in 2018. It's a place where it's as much about the community as it is about the wildlife."

"We visited in 2018 and had such wonderful memories that we returned. This time it was even better. Our guide Mark, managers Terri and Robert and the whole camp staff made us feel instantly at home. Full of suggestions about what we could do, but happy to go at a pace that was right for us. We soon fell into a pattern of early morning walks, afternoon game drives with leisurely lunches by the pool watching the elephants, giraffe, warthog, impala and lots of other wildlife at the waterhole below. Nothing was too much trouble."

Reteti Elephant Orphanage visit
"Reteti Elephant Orphanage visit review"
14 Jan 2022 • Morning excursion
There is nothing more heartwarming than spending an hour here! Watching during feeding time, you instantly see the elephants' personalities (and the keepers!) personalities shine through. The cheeky ones trying to grab a second bottle, the "best friends" who like to be fed together, the keepers seeking out the shy elephants to make sure they have their bottle. Learning about the impact the orphanage has had and continues to make on the Samburu is fascinating.

"Mike and his team make you feel part of the family - they think of every way of making sure you get the most out of every moment here. The whole place has a special atmosphere, and is a perfect base to head out on walks into the mountains. We were lucky - there was an unexpected storm whilst we were there, and we got to see the transformation the landscape went though in just 24 hours. Sleeping amongst the trees was a perfect contrast to the wide open vistas we experienced at the neighbouring Sarara camp. We would definitely visit both again."
