This was an incredible trip and all thanks to Phoenix who organised it! Everything went to plan as soon as we arrived in Kenya. All the accommodation booked was superb, the staff incredible & the food a really high standard throughout. The highlight was the game drives with our two local guides. We were able to see a vast array of wildlife with early morning/late afternoon game drives. In addition a night drive and walk in the savannah accompanied by game wardens. I can't recommend Natural World Safaris enough!
Lucy went above and beyond making sure our trip was set before we left. She also took the time to call before our departure to wish us a wonderful trip. When we got back, Lucy also took the time to talk to me about our trip. Thank you Lucy!
