We wholeheartedly recommend Dallago for a great Kenyan safari.
My wife and I chose the 5 day flying safari for our honeymoon, staying 2 nights in Amboseli and 2 nights in Maasai Mara and Dallago made the whole trip as smooth as possible, including pick up from the international airport upon our arrival in Kenya, arranging all of our internal flights and safari lodges, and a dedicated private tour guide (just for the two of us!) in each reserve. All of this was on offer at a very reasonable price - much more so than some other safari operators we contacted, who were looking to charge around 3 x the price...
The safari itself was fantastic and we saw most of the big 5, as well as lots of other animals, along with a beautiful view of Mount Kilimanjaro whilst we were in Amboseli. Amongst others, we saw plenty of lions, elephants, giraffes, a leopard, wildebeest, zebra, water buffalo, hyenas, hippos, crocodiles, monkeys, gazelles, flamingos, spoonbills, kingfishers and more! We particularly enjoyed our safari of the Amboseli reserve with David, whose knowledge of the hundreds of different animals was second-to-none and David made our safari a really enjoyable experience.
In terms of the safari lodges, we stayed at the Serena Amboseli and Serena Mara lodges. These were both lovely and unique in their own ways - both right in the reserves which meant no long treks to see the animals on the game drives. We particularly loved the monkeys which wandered around the Amboseli lodge and the stunning view of the Mara from the Mara lodge. The meals at the lodges were very good, buffet-style meals with a good selection of English / Indian and local meals, and both restaurants had a 'live' pasta bar if you wanted something cooked fresh. My wife is vegetarian and did not struggle for something to eat.
We have already recommended Dallago to some of our family (who wanted to experience a safari after seeing our photos). We will definitely look to book with Dallago again on a future safari.
Thank you very much to David, Martin and their team for such a memorable experience.
