I was not prepared for what the Mara, the wildlife and the Masai people deliver in terms of the full and real safari experience. We had an amazing time and totally fell in love with Kenya.

The trip was fantastic, an absolutely amazing experience. Obviously the reason we went was for the safari aspect and they were amazing particularly the Masai, such an abundance and range of animals to see.

Trevor Collins, Kenya

Our holiday to Kenya was amazing, we all voted it our best-ever trip. The Safari at Kichwa Tempo in the Masai Mara was everything we could have wished for, our guide Anne was excellent and great fun and all the staff looked after us so well. The beach was the best we’ve ever been on, clean, safe, clear water and a reef to snorkel on.
