  • A trip beyond our wildest expectations

    We couldn’t recommend the 3-day trip to Samburu enough, it was truly the adventure of a lifetime! From start to finish, everything exceeded our expectations. The hotel was a dream setting, the landscape breathtaking and the wildlife encounters beyond anything we imagined! We created memories that will stay with us forever. The absolute highlight was seeing a leopard with two cubs, happily playing and learning how to hunt in the wild. A pack of 12 lions waking up after a long nap, a new-born girafe and the baby elefants were all moments we’ll never forget! A huge thank you to our incredible guide, Tony, whose passion, enthusiasm, and deep knowledge made the whole experience unforgettable. He seemed to have a sixth sense for finding the best spots and making sure we were in the right place at the right time. His energy and love for the wildlife were infectious, and he turned what was already an amazing trip into something truly special. If you’re considering a safari in Kenya, don’t think twice, book this trip, and ask for Tony!
