My Aug 2023 trip
Kenya between 24 Aug 2023 and 2 Sep 2023
The whole experience from the quality of game viewing, the quality of the camps, staff and guides was better than we could have hoped.
It was also great to know that, typically, smaller camps are used with strong links to the local communities helping them benefit from our holiday.
Jessica was really helpful and planned the perfect trip for us."

Governors' Camp
"Governors' Camp review"
Although a bigger camp it felt very calm and relaxed with wildlife coming through the camp on several occasions. We really appreciated the shade. Our tents overlooked the river - we loved listening to the hippos.
All the staff were very helpful.
Sopia was a great guide for our game drives. We also visited a local Maasai village which was really interesting."

The quality of the food, accommodation and the care shown by all the staff was fantastic.
Getting to know our guide Johnson was definitely one of the highlights of our trip. We really loved his knowledge, enthusiasm and his friendly approach. The game viewing was outstanding, particularly the lions."

Kicheche Walking Wilderness
"Kicheche Walking Wilderness review"
We felt very safe with Johnson our guide and Peter the ranger.
Walking into flycamp at dusk and seeing the campfire was a magical experience that will stay with us for a long time.
The tents were very comfortable and the bush shower was perfect."

Kicheche Bush Camp
"Kicheche Bush Camp review"
It's small camp that really is in the middle of the bush and completely unfenced.
Charles our guide was also fantastic who had great knowledge and respect for the wildlife. We saw lions, a leopard and cheetahs on every game drive. One highlight was following two male lions as dusk fell until they roared. That was one of the things I really wanted to hear."
