"We have recently returned from our first visit to Kenya and enjoyed
it so much we are determined to return next year. The variety and number
of animals we saw was amazing and so few other tourists so share it!
However, it was the genuine warmth of the welcome everywhere and the
way that everyone tried so hard to please us that makes us wish to return.
The scenes of violence on T.V and in the press have made so many cancel
although the areas affected are far removed from any which tourists
would visits. Even in Nairobi we saw nothing in the least alarming and
are planning to extend our stay next time. It really is dreadful how
the lives of people far removed from the unrest have been badly affected
– so if you have ever thought of visiting Kenya – NOW is the
time to go!"

"Our first time in Kenya and we have had a wonderful start to
our holiday. Phil and Charlie were warm and welcoming. We're moving
onto Bush Camp next and much look forward to that. The Mara Camp staff
were warm and friendly and very helpful too. To date we cannot see why
a lot of tourists have cancelled as everywhere we have been has felt
perfectly safe and peaceful."

"Our stay has been second to none. We had our concerns that we
were doing the right thing by bringing our children to Kenya in the
present climit, but on the advise of our agents, who assured us that
there was no problem to to this area - we went ahead and are thrilled
that we did, as the children have had a wonderful taste of Africa"

"This has been our first visit to Kenya and what an amaizing experience
it has been. From our arrival in Nairobi and our time there - to our
stay in Amboseli and to our final destination at Kicheche Bush Camp
in the Masai Mara we have been overwhelmed by the stunning scenery,
the amazing wildlife and the friendliness of the people. This is a beautiful
peaceful and safe country. we urge you to visit it now - you will never
regret it. We don't want to leave and will be back"

"We've had such a great experience dealing with all the team at
Kicheche and the holiday at the camp was amazing - something we will
truly remember for a very long time. I hope things are settling down
in kenya as it really is a beautiful country and the people we met through
our travels were so friendly, warm and welcoming. I will always hold
very fond memories of Kenya and I hope to be able to see it again very
soon. Once again thank you for all your help and we hope to return in
the very near future."

"If anyone is thinking of going on safari now is the ideal time to
go to Kenya (keeping out of the trouble spots of course!). The Masai Mara
is the best place in Africa to see wildlife. At the moment it is completely
empty of tourists so visitors really do have the place to themselves.
I have just returned from seven nights at Kicheche Bush Camp in the Conservancy
where we had the whole place to ourselves and had the delightful company
of the camp's host and hostess, Andy and Sonya. We were taken around on
our own personal game drives by a charming young Masai named Simon, his
talent for spotting every sort of wildlife was truly amazing and he was
a fund of knowledge about the local flora and fauna. If you want to experience
the real Africa the bush camp is for you. It is set in a remote area amongst
whistling thorns and acacia trees; the luxury tents are spacious and very
comfortable and as the camp is unfenced the wildlife surrounds you; the
food is delicious and plentiful and sundowners in the bush are a must.
So if you are thinking of going don't hesitate because you will never
have the chance again of this unique experience of having the place to
yourselves."

"We had a great holiday in Kenya, despite the upheaval in the
country we felt safe and were lucky enough to experience the Masai Mara
with very few other tourists. Even though the news about Kenya is very
worrying, the local people rely on tourism for their livelihood with
each person in employment supporting between 5 and 10 others so if they
lose their jobs, many miss out. Consider supporting the Kenyans by not
disregarding the trip out of hand because of the troubles. We were very
well looked after and the Masai people are not involved in the troubles
and need supporting. This is a great trip that will certainly show you
the Africa that you've been dreaming of."
