Real Africa Travel was professional and experienced delivering a memorable safari for our family.
Giraffes, zebras, lions, elephants, rhinos and more!... Our safari with Real Africa Travel was a memorable experience for our family of 5. Mike was a great guide and his experience was so helpful in leading us to see some fantastic views of the animals. We took home some amazing photos! Tim, our coordinator, was professional, helpful and responsive leading up to, during and after our trip.
Starting with one night at Lake Nakuru was an excellent suggestion to break up the 3 night safari. The views at Lake Nakuru Sopa Lodge were breathtaking and turned out to be a highlight of the trip. Two nights at Fig Tree Masai Mari...unfortunately the recent floods had destroyed the bridge that connects directly to the park so unpleasant driving was required to enter the property. The restoration efforts at the property were quite impressive, though the luxuriousness of the property and landscape shown in the photos had definitely been effected. The food and service at both lodges were great. The most challenging part of the trip was the rough and lengthy car rides in route between the airport, parks and lodges. If doing over, we would definitely consider flying between the parks or only staying at one location. However, we really enjoyed the advantage of both locations and the greater variety of sights and wildlife.
The overall experience seeing the animals was certainly rewarding. Mike made great efforts for us to capture great views of the wildlife. Thank you!
