4-day Masai Mara And Lake Nakuru Jeep Safari

We really enjoyed our Safari with Bencia Africa. Our Guide Charles was so helpful and he is such a nice person. He was also so knwledgeble about everything ! We even had our own chef John in our Budget camp, something we didn’t expect for this price! We really enjoyed the meals he cooked and he made such an effort! Same as Charles, John is a real gentleman and we had a great laugh with both of them 🤗.

Four-Day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Jeep Safari was unforgettable for us. The journey started from the hotel in Nairobi with a pickup in the morning and the guide Wilson was very experienced and patient from the beginning. In the morning and afternoon game drives in the Masai Mara, we saw families of lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, buffaloes. I also saw a leopard one evening, which is very rare. The sight of thousands of red-pink flocks of flamingos and white rhinoceroses in Lake Nakuru is a sight to behold. Being a small group, everything was very comfortable. The pop-up roofed minivan is perfect for animal watching and photography. Accommodations were clean, comfortable, and the food was good. All in all, a very well organized trip. If you want to go on a safari in Kenya, you must take this tour. Thank you to Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris!

The entire trip was extraordinary. We went on this 4 day jeep safari and the whole trip was great. I was impressed by the knowledge and enthusiasm of the guide Daniel. I saw many animals on the morning and afternoon game drives to the Masai Mara - a family of lions, elephants, giraffes, zebras, and even a leopard on one evening drive! The experience of seeing a huge flock of flamingos and white rhinos in Lake Nakuru will be remembered forever. Accommodation was clean, the food was good and the service was excellent. Everything was comfortable in a small group. If you are planning a safari in Kenya then definitely choose this tour. It's highly recommended!

Sometimes a trip doesn't just bring back photos and memories, but also changes some of the places inside. This four-day safari turned out to be just that for me. As the morning light spread in the open fields of the Masai Mara, and a herd of elephants walked slowly in the distance, it seemed as if time had stopped. The sight of thousands of flamingos in the red-pink sea of Lake Nakuru completely silenced my mind. There are no complaints about the accommodation and food, but the most important thing is that this tour has not only shown me the animals, but also taught me to feel the smell of the African soil, the taste of the air and the depth of silence. When I come back, I still occasionally close my eyes and remember the light of the morning and the waves of flamingos.

We did this 4-day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru Jeep Safari with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris. The guide Wilson was very skillful and patient. At Masai Mara, I saw lions, elephants, buffaloes, giraffes, and zebras all at close quarters. The sight of millions of flamingos in Lake Nakuru is truly unforgettable! The car was comfortable, the group was small (only 5-6 people), the accommodation was clean and the food was very good. Pickup and drop from Nairobi hotel is also smooth. The whole experience is wonderful. I would recommend for those who want to go on a safari for the first time.

We had a wonderful experience with Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris on a 4-day Maasai Mara and Lake Nakuru Jeep Safari. Wilson was our guide. He was very knowledgeable and helpful. A visit to the Maasai Mara National Reserve has fulfilled the dream of seeing the Big Five (lion, leopard, buffalo, rhino, and elephant). With the help of Wilson, we saw the lion and the elephant from close. I was fascinated by the huge flocks of flamingos in Lake Nakuru National Park. The car was a comfortable minivan with a pop-up roof, there were only 6 people in the group so everything was very comfortable. The food was excellent. I would recommend Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris for this safari. It's really lucky to have a guide like Wilson.

Our guide was George, who was timely, professional and full of knowledge. He really worked hard to maneuver the truck so that my friend and I could get good views of the animals. We were really fortunate that we were able to see the Big 5, including several Black Rhinos and even a Leopard, rare sightings. The office staff made sure we were taken care of and touched base a day ahead of time, as well as a day after our tour to make sure we were okay. The accommodations were good - clean and comfortable and welcoming - and offered great food. We also saw Lake Niguru and Lake Naivasha, which added to the animals we were able to see. This tour was worth every penny! We didn't see the need to stop at a Masai village - you drive through plenty of operating villages. Scenery in the Great Rift Valley is stunning.

My wife and I booked this 4 day safari. I like the knowledge and enthusiasm of the guide. I drove to Masai Mara twice in the morning and afternoon. Giraffes, zebras, hippos, crocodiles - everything looks amazing. One day I saw a leopard in the evening drive, which is very rare. The number of birds in Lake Nakuru and the natural beauty have caught the eye. The group was small and very comfortable. Accommodations were clean and the food was good. The direct pickup-dropoff facility from Nairobi has made it much easier. Thanks and best wishes to Bencia Africa Adventure.

Went on this 4 day safari. Our guide James was great - very knowledgeable, patient and made an extra effort to find the animals for us every time. We saw the Big Five (lions, leopards, elephants, buffaloes and rhinoceros), as well as giant giraffes, zebras and hippos in Lake Nakuru. The flamingos were incredible! The accommodation was very comfortable (especially the tented camp at Masai Mara), the food was delicious, and the jeeps were clean and reliable. Everything was very well organized, including the pickup from Nairobi. Highly recommended for first time travelers.

Our 4-day Masai Mara + Lake Nakuru Safari was truly unforgettable! From the very first day, our guide Wilson was amazing. He showed us almost all the Big Five, including Lion, Cheetah, Elephant, Rhino from close. Seeing millions of flamingos in Lake Nakuru was like a dream. Accommodation was very comfortable and the food was very good. All in all, I got good value for my money 💰££. Those who want to go on a safari should definitely consider Bencia Africa.

Amazing safari! I did 5 days in Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Lake Naivasha and Hell's Gate. It's the perfect amount of days, you see the most important things and you also have time to rest. I reached out to the travel agency, Bencia African Tours and Safari directly and I upgraded the accommodations for premium inside each park. It's much better to stay in nice places after a lot of exploring, trust me!! And in some premium places even the animals come to you. The guides were very nice and the jeeps were super comfortable. Bencia made sure everything was perfect. Thank you!!

Four of us went on this 4-day safari with friends and it was perfect! From Nairobi, everything was smooth. The guide showed us superheroes - lionesses and cubs, cheetah hunting, giraffes and huge herds of zebras in the morning game drive. Looking at the landscape of Masai Mara, I felt like I had entered the cinema! Lake Nakuru is a sea of flamingos and hippos, crocodiles, baboons - all in all a wonderful variety. A close-up of the white rhino at the Rhino Sanctuary - Thrilling! The accommodation was comfortable (hot water, clean beds), food plentiful and tasty - picnic lunch and lodge dinner every day. I was impressed with the knowledge and patience of the guide. The budget was good, but the quality was premium. If you're planning a safari in Kenya, choose this tour - don't regret it! I Highly recommend BAA&S.

worth every cent you paid for it. Unbeliveble expierence. You’ll almost every animal you know living in Africa

Fiz um safári com minha esposa e uma amiga. Adoramos o safári. Conseguimos ver todos os Big Five e muitos outros animais em uma paisagem belíssima. Os hotéis eram ótimos e confortáveis. Nosso guia/motorista foi excelente, nunca parava de procurar animais e os melhores ângulos para admirá-los e tirar fotos. Este foi meu segundo safári e adorei as duas vezes. Recomendo o passeio e a empresa. I went on a safari with my wife and a friend. We loved the safari. We managed to see all of the Big Five and many other animals in a beautiful landscape. The hotels were great and comfortable. Our guide/driver was excellent, never stopping looking for animals and the best angles to admire them and take pictures. This was my second safari and I loved it both times. I recommend the tour and the company.

The car picked us up from our hotel in Nairobi in the morning. Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris Ltd’s 4-day Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru safari started with a smile on the face of driver David. David is not just a driver, he is like a running GPS and a friend of wildlife! Along the way, he told stories about Maasai culture, and in the blink of an eye, he identified a herd of zebras in the distance. My heart skipped a beat as soon as I set foot in Masai Mara. Vast fields, acacia trees in the distance and suddenly an elephant’s call! Golden grasslands, a sky touching the horizon and the roar of a lion! David took us to a pride – a mother lioness lying in the sun with her cubs, and in the distance a cheetah sitting on a tree branch waiting for prey. In the afternoon, we saw the great migration of thousands of wildebeest – an earth-shaking sight! The food prepared by chef James was magical. Crispy chicken, fresh salad and grilled goat meat for dinner. Everyone sat down to eat together, it felt like a family picnic. Day 3 Lake Nakuru. The lake is pink with millions of flamingos! David took us to the rhino sanctuary – two white rhinos with their mothers eating grass. Hippos were submerged in the water by the lake, occasionally yawning. Baboons were jumping from trees and looking at our picnic basket – David said with a laugh, “They are smarter than us!” The accommodation was comfortable, clean and in the lap of nature. David would call us every morning with hot coffee, “Let’s go, we will see leopards today!” And James’s dessert – chocolate cake and fruit salad – was unforgettable. Bencia’s car, punctuality, security – everything was perfect. I saw four of the Big Five in 4 days, and the sea of ​​flamingos cannot be erased from my mind. I will go again – maybe this time in the rainy season!

The four day trip to Kenya was one of the best experiences of my life. The road from Nairobi to Maasai Mara was an adventure of sorts. Along the way, the views of the villages, the vast plains, and the smiles of the people were truly heartwarming. Communication was good, any time we had a question, Alfred responded immediately via WhatsApp and email. If you actively ask about anything about the tour, they respond immediately. On our first afternoon game drive to Masai Mara, we saw a huge herd of elephants, a lion family resting nearby, and zebras and antelopes running in the distance. At sunset, the entire sky was painted orange and gold - a sight that will be remembered forever. When I went to Lake Nakuru on the third day, the pink color of the numerous flamingos there seemed to give a different look to the whole lake. There we also saw the rhinoceros, which was one of the most special moments of the trip. Accommodation was very comfortable, and the food was good. Our guide was very experienced and patient, always looking out for the animals and sharing a lot of information. The whole trip was very smooth and beautiful. I would definitely recommend Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris.

I went on a 4-day trip with four friends. We have so many memories of traveling together. The guide showed us the places of interest. Masai Mara's game drives were a great experience, and I enjoyed watching the animals in the cool morning air. Accommodation was clean and safe, food was plentiful, and service was as per choice. The atmosphere of Nakuru was comfortable; I was able to capture several moments in the light cloudy sky. This package is suitable for traveling together.

Everything was perfect . The driver , the plan and all the services are as I expected . Highly recommended . You can trust them

The mesmerizing sight of numerous flamingos Masai Mara at Lake Nakuru touched the heart. Also, the experience of seeing the black and white rhinos up close was remarkable. During the safari, I also saw lions, buffaloes, elephants, and giraffes, which made the experience even more thrilling. The moments of sitting by the campfire in the evening and enjoying the beauty of nature were truly memorable. The entire trip will be a unique experience..

A fantastic 4 day trip. We would highly recommend-George our driver and guide was great and made you feel comfortable and safe and was knowledgeable about wildlife and Kenya history etc. He would also fit in anything you wanted to so - great flexibility and chilled in small group. Highlights were seeing the Rift Valley, Masai Mairi and meeting the Masai tribe - such a unique experience and Lake Nakuru with the pink flamingos. The lodges were all top quality with good food and swimming pools and night entertainment etc. Thank you Benicia Africa Adventure.

James, our guide, made sure that every moment of our safari was full of surprises. Masai Mara's drive included scenic stops at the Great Rift Valley Viewpoint. Each game drive brings us closer to nature through the migration of elephants, cheetahs and wildebeest. Bencia Africa Adventures has exceeded our expectations, from their planning to the incredible hospitality at the luxury lodges..

The ideal location to relax was Lake Naivasha Country Club. It was a peaceful getaway with its placid lake, pelican flocks, and available boat rides. George, our guide, made sure everything went smoothly for us. Our safari with Bencia Africa Adventure came to a suitable conclusion.

Traveling with kids can be tricky, but Bencia Africa Adventure & Safaris made it so easy! James, our guide, was patient and engaging with our children. They loved the chance to see flamingos at Lake Nakuru and the thrilling game drives in Masai Mara. The lodges were family-friendly and comfortable, and the meals were excellent. A perfect blend of adventure and relaxation for families!

Lake Nakuru offered incredible birdwatching and close encounters with rhinos. Our guide, Joseph, made the experience more rewarding with his expertise. The lodge was comfortable, with scenic surroundings and great food.

This trip is perfect to visit Masai Mara and see all the wild animals living in it, I booked the luxury lodges and for me it’s totally worth it, excellent food, views and beautiful and comfortable rooms just perfect after a long day of safari and travel. Due to changes in the schedule by the tour company I also visited lake Naivasha and the Crescent gardens; in the boat tour you can see hippos and lots of wild birds, and the Gardens it’s ok if you like a private run place with enclosed antelopes and zebras, beautiful animals but not wild enough for my taste. Lake Nakuru national park is totally worth it, we saw rhinos and giraffes among other amazing wildlife, I would have loved to stay longer.

We really enjoyed our Kenya trip. Bencia team was very helpful and responsive. Special thanks to Joseph, amazing guide, very knowledgable and nice, and helped take care of everything for us. Big part that made this trip memorable, smooth and fun. We came back with big smiles and so many beautiful memories!

Had a great mara encounter as promised by the office personnel ,they explained from bit to bit...the accommodations was of quality

one of the best safari co in kenya, best driver and cars i suggest to all to do safari with this co. we bought 4 night and 5 days safari

Going on safari has been a bucket list item and this experience did not disappoint! Our guide was Joseph and he is the reason we had such a great time. Knowledgeable about the plants, animals, birds, customs and best roadside places to eat and more than willing to share that knowledge freely. He went out of his way to make sure that all of us an incredible experience. We saw so many animals, and so close. His relationship with other guides ensured we were “in the know” when an elusive animal was spotted (hello, baby cheetahs!). We saw a white rhino at lake Nakuru, and, as always, Joseph let us dictate how long we spent enjoying seeing him. I could not recommend this safari any higher. The lodges we stayed at were very nice, especially Nakuru Sopa.

If I compare this company with other safaries which I have an experience (2 other), this is definitely the best. Main reasons: good and fast communication, time responsibility and responsibility at all. We have a very successful trip to Masai Mara, Nakuru, Naivasha, Amboseli. Special thanks is for guide and driver Edward. He's really professional guide and driver. He has a big knowledge about african nature. He can easily explain you every question you have about it because it's also his hobby. For birdwatchers like me I definitely recommended to take this guide. He is also very responsible driver. We've seen many safari cars stuck in the mud because of big rain. Once he helped one car to put out from the mud. Many times went through much more muddy roads and we didn't stuck. He kept the car clear after every dirty driving. He went to preventing check the car for avoid a problem. He drove more than 8 hours in this horrible kenyan traffic situation, no problem, hakuna matata.

We had a very fancy journey with this company in January 2024. That was perfect. Our tour for 3 person's was for 10 days we visited Masai mara, Naivasha y very another placed in kenya. Our driver came to the airport an ex pick off us and then with the safari car (land cruiser) visited a lot of places. The name of our guide and drivrr was Gorge. He was very nice and professional and I advise that take tour with him. Another advise is that Masai Mara and Naivasha are the best we were three 2 night in Masai Mara that was enough but just one night in Naivasha that was not enough time because the soap hotel in Naivasha was perfect

nice trip with proper arrangements good guide with knowledgeable people helpful staffs got free t shirt and water overall good

Bencia really responded to our request. We had a tight budget and we were still able to do the Masai Mara and Nakuru Park. Georges the guide and George the cook were great! It was wonderful !

I booked safari with Bencia africa adventure & safaris. We went on 4 days safari in masai mara and lake nakuru. it was really great experience, their team was very patient with us and i think they went beyond their job to make sure we had a great experience. i highly recommend them.

After a lot of research on safaris to Masai Mara and lake Nakuru I chose Bencia because they offered great value for money, they (Alfred) were very responsive and answered all my queries promptly and in detail. Susan from the team escorted and assisted us with purchasing a Sim card whilst our guide George escorted us to an ATM as requested before we departed. We opted for the luxury accommodation option which was great and the tour itself was amazing. George made us feel very comfortable in the (private) vehicle and drove safely. The vehicle was an older style van with a pop up/ open roof however we didn't feel like we had a lesser experience compared to the 4x4 LandCruiser jeeps. He was knowledgeable about a lot of the animals we saw, trying his best to take us to areas where we could see lions, cheetah, etc. I would highly recommend Alfred and his team at Bencia.

This was such an amazing experience. I researched so many different companies and could not be more happy that this is the one we chose. We got to see everything and more. The places we stayed were amazing. Most of all, we had the best guide in all of Kenya! George is absolutely top notch and made our experience a once in a lifetime experience.

After the trip we were taken to their office like hostage to demand more money than we agreed and already paid cause they decided that they didn't make enough profit. Very poor customer service. Be expected to pay much more than the original agreed fees as they will claim it is not included, e.g. entry fees. At one point we were asked to pay for the fuel cost! Make sure to pay yourself entry fees as we realised we have been scammed and paid more than the entry fee. Unfortunately only realised this after the trip when we talked with out friends who visited the same attractions

We booked four days Safari with Bencia (4 days MasaiMara+ Lake Nakuru) and the whole experience was really fascinating. Communication with the company was very easy, and safari experience was superb. Our driver was Joseph and our cook was John. We think It might be very difficult to find two people as good as them and as professional as them to travel around Kenia. Joseph did his best to show us all the animals in both Masai Mara and Lake Nakuru and John cooked for us delicious food and made us feel really special. He is so a nice man. Joseph is also so kind and friendly and tried to answer all questions we asked him. He is an amazing driver and the best at finding animals (we met the Big five!) Thank you very much Joseph and John. See you Soon Bencia!!!!

We really enjoyed our Bencia safari. Especially thanks to George (our driver and guide) and George (our excellent coock) it was an unforgettable experience, we really enjoyed their comapany. We saw the big 5 and experienced the great migration. George is an excellent guide, he made a great effort to spot all the animals, and George is a great coock, he served us well with his fresh coocked meals. We visited a Masai village and a local school, we will never forget the whole trip. Thanks George and George, we will never forget you!

Great experience. Well organized safari with very friendly treatment and adjustable to personal necessities.

Great experience with a very dedicated team. They went over and above to ensure we had a great experience even in the mid of challenges.

John was an amazing guide. He knew his stuff. Kept us on track with itinerary. Helped out in any way he could. We couldn’t have been more happy with his presence. Overall the booking process was easy. There was one hiccup, but it was a confusion Bencia & our first hotel. They booked the wrong room for us. They made due but it wasn’t what we wanted and we were not compensated. However, we did not allow it to ruin our experience. Book with John!!!

From a lot or research beforehand and our experience, I would recommend Bencia over other companies for a value-for-money budget safari, despite one con. The review is very long becuse it can be hard to find specific details about most tours which in the end is the difference between getting what is promised and getting tricked. Pros 1. Accommodation at Lake Nakuru is inside the park (Wildlife Clubs of Kenya - Nakuru) which is a big advantage over other tour groups because it means we could do an afternoon and morning tour on the same 24hr ticket. A 24hr ticket for Lake Nakuru only allows for 1 entry and exit. Though other companies say they offer both morning and afternoon tours, when I actually enquired how this was possible when their accommodation was outside the park, they then stated it was either morning or afternoon, not both. Bencia was the only budget safari I found, from emailing many companies, who could actually offer what the website says. 2. Our guide was thoughtful about the welfare of the animals and didn't harass them, unlike other drivers we saw. He was also nice to chat with about wildlife and Kenya in general. 3. Great in-house chef who travelled with us and adapted well to a vegetarian menu. An example of our meals, though each chef may be different, was: breakfast (omlettes, toast, sweet potato, pancakes, fruits, instant coffee/tea), lunch ( tasty and fresh buffets on the road between locations, and a huge packed lunch for the full day safari including fruits, sandwich, juice and snacks) and dinner (rice, great mixed veges, beans, potatoes and fruits). We were always so full, no snacks are needed to complement the meals. 4. Accommodation was good for the price. Good enough mosquito protection. The accommodation in Lake Nakuru is particularly good as the animals are all around the camp gates. 5. The joining tour ran with even 2 people, as promised, which not all companies could promise us and seemed important for changing circumstances like Covid. It also meant by luck we had a private tour. 6. Really, really responsive emails from the office beforehand always getting back within minutes or just a few hours. Con 1. We felt we our driving hours and timing was not quite what was agreed upon and we had to negotaite to remain close to our planned schedule which was a dampener. As noted below, a bit too little time for the MM afternoon (which could have simply been credited the next days but wasn't). Additionally, it was very important to us, and promised to us in emails, that we would do a morning tour day 3 in MM from 6:30-8:30am. When we were there we were told we could do 6am-5pm on day 2 instead of the morning drive on day 3. We said no because that is not what was promised. Strangely, the last day we entered quite late going from 7am-9am which was the same duration but not the hours we were promised or that we asked for the night before. It seemed strange they would offer to enter at 6am on the long day but not on the short morning. I know some companies do an afternoon drive day 1 and then a long day 2 so they save money on gate fees nut but charge you for 2 days on entry fees, despite what their website programme states. So I was pleased that they at least stuck to the promise of 3 days of driving and not 2. Trip details: The order of our trip changed and we ended up doing 4 days nd 3 nights with Lake Nakuru first, which in the end felt better going from a small park into the huge expanse of the Masai Mara. There is a lot of unavoidable travel in between parks, though I think we spent too long between Nakuru and Masai Mara trying to arrange picking up some more passengers which cost us time that afternoon at Masai Mara and this was never made up later. Rough timing; Nakuru to MM - 7 hours (should be much quicker), MM to Nairobi - 5hrs, Nairobi to LN 7am from hotel to 3pm arrival.

This firm organize our trip very well. They meet us in the airport, organize unforgettable safari and helped to solve some problems. We can recommend them to tourist coming to Kenya. They are professionals.

Exciting and welcoming people who want to give you adventure. The Tour Guides are amazing and friendly.

Good budget safari organizing company. We booked a 4 day safari and even noone joined it happened as planed. We had a good guide/driver Mourinho and a friendly chef John who cooked us very tasty food. A minibus and places to stay were budget type but good value for money. We saw everthing we wanted even though last day game drive was shorter than expected.

With COVID-19 restrictions limiting our travel options, my wife and I took the opportunity to visit Africa for the first time with little time to prepare. After thoroughly enjoying Nairobi and Mombasa, we squeezed in our first safari with Benicia. Alfred and his team were so friendly and patient making us feel relaxed and happy throughout the entire process. We took the standard package. This was not busy season and with COVID there were not many tourists around, and we were so fortunate to have a self paced and customized experience. The gem in our trip however was our courteous and friendly driver and guide George, who in addition to being extremely knowledgeable and experienced, kept us safe and secure while ensuring we had plenty of time to catch all the sights. We saw the big five including white and black rhinos, and a family of elephants descending out and about our van! Priceless experience I wholeheartedly recommend to everyone! We look forward to coming to Benicia again! Ask for George, and you will also meet the polite, young, armed park ranger Benedict who will keep you safe from hippos as you tour the Mara River where wildebeest make their famous crossings between Kenya and Tanzania past hungry crocodiles. So many wonders!

Great Safari. Alfred, the owner, was always available to answer phone calls and emails prior to the Safari. Our accommodation was very good - both in Masai Mara (Enkorok Lodge) and in Lake Nakuru ( Lake Nakuru Lodge). The food in Enkorok lodge was extremely good, and, I believe, a lot of it sourced from their own farm. Dinner in Lake Nakuru lodge was very good too. Our driver, George, was incredible. He was extremely knowlegable and funny and made the trip special. Nothing was too much trouble for him and he went the extra mile to make it a memorable trip. The safari itself was great. We saw all the big 5, including a leopard sleeping on the road! The animal migration was very special to observe. A fabulous safari and I would highly recommend Bencia African Adventure. Thank you to George, Alfred and his team.

I was in Arusha after a great 6 day Tanzania safari when I decided to go visit Kenya last minute. Alfred of Benicia responded quickly with a safari plan that fitted my timing and budget. After completing a great safari In Amboseli starting with a pick up at Namanga, I met up with the rest of the Benicia crew in Nairobi and changed van and driver. Joseph and his amazing stick shift van took me on a great safari. I was fortunate to be alone for 3 days 2 nights in Lake Navisha and Lake Nakuru. Because of my tight budget I didn’t want to pay full price for a boat ride in Lake Navisha and patient Joseph brought me to another boat operator who gave me a discount as there was no other folks around to share the 6 passenger boat with. I saw hippos in the water fighting and on land sleeping but opened their eyes when my boat drew near. The boat captain also threw a tilapia into the water and told me when to start videoing as the eagle swooped in to snatch the tilapia from the lake. The next day was Hell’s gate park which alas was overcast. Joseph gently pushed lazy me to go biking in Hell’s gate followed by a hike in Devil’s gorge. The bike ride wasn’t too difficult even for a novice biker like me. Joseph was never far from me in the van and even offered to take the bike and me up in his van after 5km with 2 km left to go. I declined and was rewarded with a family of giraffes along the way including my first baby giraffe. Good old Joseph was there to take photos of me. I next caught up with another couple and their guide on bicycles who had stopped for a herd of buffaloes crossing. I also saw zebras along the way. I think my review is too long. Lake Nakuru was fantastic and we spotted 9 rhinos over 2 game drives, one in the afternoon till sunset and the other one at sunrise the next day. Saw grass grazing white hippo right by the road that afternoon and the next morning. I saw a pair young lion and lioness siblings climbing a tree after lying by the roadside for 10-20 minutes. What a sight. And another pregnant lioness sitting in the acacia tree a km away. And Rothschild giraffes to end the day with. At Maasai Mara I met up with 3 others, one from US, another lady from Egypt and the third from Germany. We were good company and had a great time. And saw a lot in that short time. And all agreed that Joseph was wonderful, knowledgeable indefatigable and made our trip that special.
