Our Kenya safari holiday with Encompass Africa was an experience of a lifetime and one we will never forget.
From the moment we arrived at Nairobi Airport, we were made to feel very special indeed – seamlessly through Immigration, assisted with our luggage, and driven in our private, air-conditioned vehicle to our accommodation at Tamarind Tree Hotel. The staff there couldn’t have been more professional and considerate, especially given the very early hour.
We met our guide, Mr. Boniface Muchai, the next morning and he was an absolute gem – friendly, knowledgeable and really enjoyable company throughout the trip. Thanks to him, we experienced unforgettable wildlife encounters: lions, cheetah and her cubs feeding on an antelope, herds of elephants, hippos, rhino, buffalo herds, and even a leopard asleep in the bushes and much, much more. I also wasn’t expecting to see so many birds, including pink flamingos!
The people were incredibly welcoming, and the food was consistently fresh and delicious. All the camps offered buffet style meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner, which suited us perfectly, as we’re not big eaters. On the days we left early for safari, Boniface had the kitchen organize lunch to go, which was always more than we could eat!
Thank you Danica at Encompass Africa for creating a holiday that we will always treasure. You think of everything!
