We were very pleased with... - We were very pleased with our trip to Masai Mara. There was a little worry as after we booked with Viator, we hadn't heard anything/received any confirmation from the company before we got to Kenya, as this was the majority of our itinerary. We did eventually hear from them and was assigned a driver and confirmed out pick up details. The driver picked us up promptly at our hotel and Kimani was one of the best guides we've ever had. He was knowledgeable, drove well, and got up to the best spots to view animals. He expertly drove on the reserve paths that were bumpy and slick due to recent rain. I do wish there was slightly more open communication as at times, he had to exit the vehicle to take care of payments, registrations, or whatever else, but we didn't know why he left us in the vehicle alone, or how long he would be. However, we still rate him highly and would return to Masai Mara just to have him again. So how all the tour companies seem to operate: you're assigned a driver/group from a company that is with you through the entire trip. The company takes care of the transportation and safari, and they work with the lodge to book your room (based on what you paid for). When you get to the lodge, your driver/guide also stays at the lodge (separately) and they will take you out each day, based on what you'd like to do, whether a long day of safari, go back to the lodge to rest or do other things, etc. Your guide works with other guides to figure out where animals may be each day and they all work together to give the best experience to all the guests. The reserve is amazing. Each day we saw animals we never thought we'd see... whether lions, cheetah, leopard, etc. You will definitely see Wildebeest, Zebra, Giraffe, and Elephants. Four days is a perfect amount of time, but if you do 3 days or add on Navaru, that should be okay. It's all about luck, seeing the animals so we probably got lucky. We stayed at Jambo lodge and it was comfortable, clean, and an excellent stay. We didn't have much issue with mosquitos, and there was plenty of electricity. Wi-Fi is mostly at reception and not in the rooms. The hotel also had a gym and pool area, and the whole lodge is well protected.

Extraordinary - We are a blended family and 7 of us left to do this safari (5 children aged 9 to 20). Every detail was previously discussed and studied with Abel who was always very responsive, efficient in his responses and good advice for preparing the trip. On site, our guide Dikdik speaks impeccable French and knows the whole life of animals. He engaged in conversation with all members of the family and passed on his knowledge to us with passion and good humor. You can trust the Natural World team with your eyes closed and let yourself be carried away! This trip was extraordinary for us and we will keep unforgettable memories of it. Thank you Abel and Dikdik!
