    Der Ausflug war perfekt organisiert. Wir wurden pünktlich abgeholt und sehr herzlich begrüßt. Unser Guide war großartig und hat uns viel über Kenia erzählt. Die angefahrenen Ziele waren gut ausgesucht. Besonders gut hat uns gefallen das es eine kleine Gruppe war mit 7 Personen. Das Essen während der Fahrt gehörte zu dem besten was wir in Kenia gegessen haben. Ingesamt war es ein wunderbares Erlebnis.

    Although the weather could have been better we thoroughly enjoyed the day out as a different form of holiday boat trip. However, my grandsons were disappointed not to see any crocodiles !!!!
