“We absolutely loved our safari. Patrick knows how to reach out and create the adventure we were looking for. It was action packed adventure filled with interesting activities from the moment we landed in Nairobi. We experienced on the wildlife, Maasai culture, local food and generally all there is to know about Kenya. Game drives in Masai Mara were the highlight of the safari where we saw so many animals. The camps were also a great way to experience nature. I highly recommend.”
