From the time we were picked up near the Tanzanian/Kenyan border crossing, we were treated to a fantastic Safari, showcasing all the wonderful wildlife that Kenya has to offer by the very experienced, professional and good natured guide Kelvin. He was very happy when he found out we were birders, as he said the other animals take care of themselves, but finding birds is always a bonus. So many highlights, my best photograph in 50 odd years of wildlife photography, a male Leopard drinking at a pool in Ngulia Lodge Tsavo West, our first Black Rhino sighting what a fiesty, spirited animal that was, our best interaction with Elephants, our best sighting of a Cheetah, so many different species of birds..... it was an epic Safari led by the best guide in Africa.

Epic safari.
Fantastic trip in a LandCruiser that was very comfortable over the roads. Kelvin our guide was able to accommodate our wish to see birds as well as all the other amazing wildlife.
I think next time we would look at different accommodation as it was rather busy with many families and children at the lodges.
PS the photos are from my phone only. The camera photos are better but I am unable to upload them.

THE MOST WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE!
This is indeed a trip not to be missed!
Our driver (Felix) & our Guide Kelvin were not only very knowledgeable about where to see the best animals, but also took into account our love of the birds as well. Both of them knew the names of everything we saw, We were also given the interesting facts about them too. These two kind and caring men, had one aim & that was to make sure we saw the best of their Beloved Africa & share their love for their wildlife. Its their business & their passion. Your happiness & comfort is their aim
We wanted to see the Elephants crossing in front of Mount Kilimanjaro, giraffes, as well as as many colourful birds as possible. We saw hundreds of elephants, as well as the Buffalo, Lions, Leopard, Hyena, Hippo, Giraffe, Warthog, Wildebeest Rhino, Zebra, Crocodile, Baboons & Monkeys, and so many species of Deer. We saw many species of the birds too, far too many to mention, but a must to see as they are so beautiful!
We were overwhelmed with the wealth of wildlife that came so close to the vehicle. We could use our phones!!! Our accommodation was always amazing, with fabulous choices of food. Nothing is too much trouble & the staff are always so welcoming.
A few facts for travellers:
There are plenty of comfort stops in proper flushing, clean toilets.
the vehicle has charging points as well as Wifi!
We were supplied with lots of fresh bottled water
The safari vehicles all have elevating roofs for photos, or just watching.
No real need for binoculars!!!
Accommodation has a laundry service
Fans are supplied if needed too, although mornings & evenings are cool
Don't miss this trip! It must be one of the best on offer!
