6-Day Samburu, Lake Nakuru, and Masai Mara Safari

To start with, Peter worked closely with us in coming up with a plan, with a lot of patience and with a focus to tailor make it for us. After arriving at Nairobi pickup was smooth and on time. John was our driver and he was always on time and was amazing in many ways. He was patient with our photography interest and was very patient in waiting for us to complete the shot we wanted. John was quite good at spotting animals and had a vast knowledge in identifying animals. he was also very knowledgeable about Kenya in general and answered many cultural questions with clear answers.. The resorts we were put was great for most part. Being Vegans, we feared about food availability but to our pleasant surprise we found many options in SOPA(MAsai Mara) and in Samburu village. The resort in Lake Nakuru(Lake Nakuru Lodge) was just average and the food was abysmal. if you guys have an option you can choose a different place and avoid this, esp if you want vegetarian/Vegan food. The seats in the land cruiser are very uncomfortable, so it might be a good time for them to upgrade the seats if not the whole vehicle. One other negative to capture here is that we were promised 2 binoculars in the safari vehicle and we had none and John kept saying he will find one, but until the trip ended this did not happen. make sure you emphasize this if you do not carry any binoculars. we had one that even John used to spot animals. Overall kudos to John and Peter for the amazing Safari trip.

Wir buchten über den Besitzer Peter eine 6-tägige Safari. Trotz unserer kurzfristigen Buchung, wurden alle unsere Wünsche berücksichtigt. Alle drei Parks, Masei Mara, Nakuru und Amboseli boten unterschiedliche Tiere und wunscherschöne Landschaften. In den Lodges blieben keine Wünsche offen. Am besten gefielen uns jedoch die Gespräche mit unserem Guide John. Wir durften viel über die Tier- und Pflanzenwelt, aber auch über Land und Leute erfahren. Viele Dank für diese tolle Erfahrung.

My family and I have just returned from safari in Kenya (children 20, 18 and 15). We did the six-day safari to Masai Mara, Lake Nauru and Amboseli. We had a driver called John (Mwangi) who was amazing! We can't recommend him highly enough. He was knowledgeable, competent, funny and patient. He was flexible to our requirements, changing our itinerary whenever requested - we felt completely safe in his hands. John showed us all the animals we wanted to see and taught us swahili and some kikuyu in the process. He had plenty of facts about all the animals we saw and always managed to make us smile. We chose Flash McTours because of their excellent reviews and because they are a local Kenyan company. Peter was very reliable ahead of the tour and efficient in responding promptly to emails and requests. The lodges in Lake Nakuru and Amboseli were great. We also chose the option to do a sunrise balloon ride (with champagne breakfast!) which was excellent. We visited a Masai village which was an eye-opening experience. We participated in the welcome dance (including the jumping competition) and had a glimpse of Masai village life.
