March 2023
Booking
I chose Grayton Expeditions because their offer was the most detailed and well-planned. Sandra responded very quickly and she was accommodating. As I had many questions - she answered all of them and we were very well prepared for the trip. Also, the booking process was easy and uncomplicated.
Pick-Up / Drop-Of
I loved that we were picked up from our apartment and everything went smoothly. They also dropped us at the airport after the safari. They will do anything for your comfort.
Safari
We had the best guide/driver you could even imagine. Collins is a fantastic guide with a broad knowledge of animals and Kenya overall. Thanks to him - we learned so much and better understood this wonderful country. He is also a great driver and was making sure - we got to see as much as possible. I really recommend him to everyone who goes on safari.
Our Safari days were perfect, we had the chance to see a lot. And every park is completely different. In the beginning, we thought, that maybe 7 days is too much because everything will seem the same. BUT - every park is completely different - it is worth it.
Accommodation
Although we choose the budget version - we had everything you need. Washrooms in every tent/hotel. Meal 3 times a day, bar with drinks and electricity. The beds were very comfortable and the meals were perfect.
Optional excursions
We booked a Maasai Village tour, a Boat ride in Naivasha Lake to Crescent Island & Walk with a guide in Hell´s Gate.
It was worth it!
Extra Tipps
- What I would suggest to other visitors - choose a backpack over big luggage. The car might get full and there won´t be enough space to store your luggage. We had 4 big suitcases and in the high-season that would be too much.
- Take enough cash with you. All additional excursions, drinks at the bar, and tips to the stuff you have to pay in cash.
- It is welcome to tip your driver at the end of the day. You choose the amount, but the standard is about 10$ a day.
- We went in the end-of-season right before the rainy season. You don´t have that many tourists and you are able to see how nature changed within 1 day after the rain. It was soo magical. I highly recommend it.
In the end, we were more than happy about this unforgettable experience. It was our first safari and Grayton Expeditions with Collins made it perfect.
