We did a 4-day safari with Monkey Adventures. Two days in Maasai Mara and the other two days consisting of Lake Nakuru and Lake Naivasha. Our group of four had a Toyota Landcruiser 4x4 driven and guided by the infamous Black Rhino himself, Tony.
We originally made plans to do a Kenyan safari back in 2020 but due to the pandemic our plans were postponed two years later. Monkey Adventures was very accommodating and thorough with my safari credits. Over two years of email communications we were able to finalize our safari to begin on 8/28/2022.
Tony, our safari guide made our trip worth it. This man had such a crazy sense of humor that we all enjoyed. He had a lot of jokes and we could not tell if he was serious at time or not. He has a keen on spotting wildlife with ease all while we're still struggle with our binoculars. He was able to get us on the Big 5 plus the elusive Serval cat.
We had a lot of questions for Tony, and he was utmost patient to answer everything we had. We hope we did not make you feel uncomfortable at times, Tony! We're are just a little crazy and weird in the head.
Tony also taught us many Swahili phrases too. We used what we learned from Tony throughout Kenya and we had a great time mingling with Kenyans with our newly acquired Swahili skills, worked very well at bars and other places of fun evening activities.
HOWEVER: Skip the Maasai Village visit! It's a total scam. AVOID at all costs!
If you want to enjoy an unforgettable African game drive AND have a great time on the road - Ask for Tony, the Black Rhino to be your guide! I would recommend Monkey Adventures and TONY to be your guide!
Tony, if you are reading this review; SASA my man! We brought our swahili skills back home, lots of kubwas ;)
