This trip far exceeded my expectations as far as seeing quite a diversity of wildlife, sometimes up close and personal, on the numerous game drives. We also saw a couple of kills by big cats and male elephants fighting over a female. Many babies, especially elephants. Our tour leader was quite knowledgable, responsive, enjoyable, and efficient in getting the job done. I also enjoyed learning about the Maasi tribal culture and visiting a village. The elephant orphanage and giraffe sanctuary were great additions. The accommodations in all the locations were comfortable and safe with good food. Just don't expect 24 hour electricity and hot water due to use of generators. Also be aware of the long, bumpy rides between national parks and on the game drives. It just goes with the territory. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants to see the wildlife of Africa.

This was an outstanding and exciting tour. Even the people in our group were reflective of the type who would enjoy this type of tour - open, adventurous, friendly. I think you were too restrictive in clothing recommendations - any color and pattern will do, though I would avoid black and bright blue. There are umbrellas in every room, so no need to bring one. Also, be aware that hot water and electricity are off most of the time, including all night so be sure to bring a good flashlight.

This was truly a quality program and exceeded any of my expectations. The group leader and primary lecturer was so knowledgeable about Kenya, Tanzania, the animals, and all of what we were experiencing. He also made sure that all aspects of the program ran as expected. Our drivers were the best. They not only spotted wildlife, sometimes at a remarkable distance, but then were able to talk about the behavior of the wildlife. I learned so much not only about wildlife but also about the history of the countries, current situations and cultural background.
I would recommend this program to anyone. It was an experience of a lifetime.

The Kenya/Tanzania Safari was a highlight of my life, fulfilling a lifetime dream to travel to Africa. The variety and number of animals we saw were phenonominal! However, we humans must remember this is their world and treat with respect and with the minimal amount of traumatization.

Our leader, Phillip Rono, was the best! Incredibly knowledgable and had an answer to any & every question.

The vans in Kenya was too small, and totally inadequate! Hopefully, RS will correct that!
