Painful yet joyful
The 7-day 6-night safari was both painful and joyful. The airport strike caused flight cancellations, the only bridge in the Masai Mara hotel complex was flooded, the car broke down on the way to chase lions, and the worry of being bitten by mosquitoes. The mood was like a roller coaster. Fortunately, everything was eventually resolved. Kenya is destined to be a special and crazy travel destination. It is precisely because of so many uncertainties that this journey is still so memorable on the way back to the airport.
Thanks Geeman, for the company and dedication throughout the journey. On the last day, led us to get an extremely close look at the leopard, one of the Big Five that is the hardest to spot, completing the collection of the African Big Five!
China's railway ventures into Kenya, imperfect yet perfect. See you Kenya if fate allows.

Review about Kruger National Park by Donal Heffernan
Fabulous place especially if it is your first safari
It is a long day from 5.00 am to 3.30 pm and the dirt track roads were being paired because of extensive rain two weeks before we arrived. Some roads were closed.
The guides were very informative and took us different routes each day,
The vehicles were very clean and well maintained. We were not allowed out of the vehicles in the park.
During the two days we spotted 4 of the 5 main preditor animals. The leopard stayed hidden!
We came back to the main areas / gates for breakfast and lunch breaks which we bought from cafes and shops.

Brilliant lodge in a superb environment. Catering variable, Guide needs more training
The lodge and rooms are excellent. Location is brilliant & wildlife superb although the boutique-lions did not look genuinely wild.
Catering was variable - at times excruciatingly slow although all the staff were very pleasant. Dietary requirement catering was variable but the menus were disappointingly 'samey'.
Our guide was a likeable fellow but needs more training. Particularly poor were knowledge of Karoo biome vegetation and birds. Long, rambling selected explanations - repeated verbatim - are not what people with some knowledge and 6 drives require.
Having said that, we will probably return despite the eye-watering (for a South African) price tag.

Patient, communication well, Honest
Good points:
1.Well experience in kili climbing
2.main guide is professional and calm
3.Private toilet brings good experience
4.Service is good
5.good chief offered good meals
6.reliable in summit day by offer 3 guiders to 2 persons
Advice to help them get better:
1.tent get wet during the camping the team build a new one for us, if it can be checked in advance would be better
2.the hotels at beginning and end were not so satisfied but it is reasonable to consider the price as the operator said but I think next time they can make a clear list of price of everything the customer can consider to rise the price to get a better experience.
3.the skills and capabilities of photography of the guides are very important. When choose guide can consider that especially for the customers who needs good photos
4.vice guiders is also important, should choose who is not so old that we even worry about him/she

The reason why this trip was so enjoyable was that our driver was David. David is the best driver.
The reason why this trip was so enjoyable was that our driver was David. David is the best driver I have ever met. First of all, his driving skills are extremely impressive. Several times we almost got stuck in the mud on the grassland, but David managed to get us out by himself. Moreover, he also helped others who were stuck in the mud. When there was a traffic jam, we could arrive at the hotel two hours earlier than others traveling with us. Secondly, when we were observing animals and taking photos, David was very good at finding the right angles, allowing me to take many beautiful pictures. In short, I am very grateful to David.

Kind and gentle
The tour operator is reliable and very kind but accomodation and services received from lodges are different from marketing strategy and website advertiment resulting in not at the same level and difference resulting in not fair money payment
