My Nov 2020 trip
Kenya between 1 Nov 2020 and 12 Nov 2020
It was an extraordinary and wonderful experience. I am very grateful and felt very protected by him every step of the way.
Considering 4 or 8 flights were cancelled, and considering what a crazy time it is, I feel very grateful and fortunate."

Giraffe Manor
"Giraffe Manor review"
So that definitely made the experience remarkable. I had all the giraffes to myself.
I suspect it can be a slightly touristy, instagram stop in more normal times. But I loved it.
The staff, food, drivers, everything was absolutely heavenly."

"Sosian review"
It was smart to make it the first stop, since the comfort of the room and the lodge gave me a chance to relax. And of course the game viewing would have been a disappointment if I'd gone to the Mara first, but as it was my first game drives, I loved them all.
The manager, Aisha was great company and the food was wonderful. I really enjoyed a couple of bird walks I did with my guide Simon and even the gift shop was well done!"

Offbeat Mara
"Spectacular"
I was blown away by the game viewing, 4 kills, lions every day, lion cubs and a cheetah baby, a hippo fight, everything you could possibly want to see. Lots of drama and excitement.
My wonderful Maasai guide was by far the best-dressed of anyone all trip, and I even did yoga with the (only again!) other guest and a staffer. The other guest had an app we used.
I found out the results of the U.S. election while there and Jen, the camp manager was a joy to share that with and celebrate with. She was nearly as invested in the results as I was."
