Memorable & fascinaitng! (a few problems with our guide)
4/5

We saw a ton of wildlife. The guide was knowledgable about what we were seeing and of course his own Maasai culture. He was interesting to spend time with. He taught us songs and Swahili words. He went out of his way to get us close to amazing sightings of animals and teach us about the animals and scenery

We had been intent on using a company that was locally owned so our investment in this experience stayed in the country. Samson’s Safaris coordinators, Stacey and Kimani, were eager to please us and responsive to our feedback or questions during our safari. We could reach them by WhatsApp. The lodging they assisted us in selecting for this private safari was good, as was the food. The tea farm tour they booked for us was thorough, interesting, participatory and the lunch there was delicious. Our stay at Maji Moto Eco Camp was my favorite. Each hotel or camp was between good to outstanding.

I would have chosen a 5 star rating except for our guide being repeatedly late when we'd made the extra effort to awaken very early for his specified pick up time. Waiting for him continued, even after we asked him to be prompt. Also once he didn't have enough money to pay for our park entrance (hundreds of dollars) and asked one of us to cover for him. His Land Cruiser had at least three seatbelts that didn't work, so we couldn’t use the row behind him, which would have been the best place to be to view the sights. It would have been easier get in and out of the side doors from there too, and be able to hear his descriptions of the scenery and animals.
