The road conditions are poor (helps keep speed down) and when there's a sighting of a lion, for example, hundreds of jeeps descend upon it, unless you get there early.

Only complaint would be the room temperatures. I saw my breath in the morning and after you take a shower you'll be freezing.
There is a heater in the room, but it's only turned on for two hours each night."

Guides were friendly and informative and it was nice to stretch our legs after a long flight. You'll see lots of bird life and flora.
Our guide was Maasai and we learned about their culture!

Awesome experience.
Stayed at Rivertrees b/c of its proximity to the airstrip."
