Trip Reviews
Best of both worlds
Kenya 'best of both worlds' Safari and Beach Holiday. For me it was a bucket list trip of a lifetime holiday and literally was 'the best of both worlds'. A small group of 8 of us expertly guided by the very diligent and affable tour leader Monica Tigani. Planes, trains, automobiles, balloons and boats, not to mention the huge menagerie of wildlife including the 'big 5' (very fortunate to see the leopard). Golden beaches, warm seas beautiful sunsets/rises, fab hotels and great game lodges....(where else can you wake up to the sound of lions roaring in the distance or watch wild hippos grazing on the lawn in front of your lodge). Amazing experience.
Amazing Kenya Safari & Beach
This was my first solo’s holiday and what can I say…it was incredible, amazing, fantastic…everything I hoped for & a whole lot more. This has been on my bucket list for a while & it was full of WOW moments from beginning to end, the Safari was breathtakingly stunning & we had a great TL Monica, I still can’t believe we saw the big five, (lions, elephants, rhinos, a cheetah & the elusive leopard) plus all the other amazing animals at the lakes & game reserves. Then we finished up in Mombasa on the beach which was much needed to relax, have a ‘few’ cocktails & enjoy the sunshine in a great hotel. Met some great people on this trip which made it even more special!!
