did 2 days of tours and was lucky to go with Tony Cruize , must be the best tour guide in Kenya , found all Animals and was very entertaining , Had his guitar with him and sung when we had lunch in an amazing lodge overlooking the park , hope he gets his break with the singing .He even made up a song for my daughter about graduating at university . Great tour company and very good value for money.
Dear Simon, Thank you for sharing incredible experience during your 2 days of tours with Tony Cruize as your guide. His ability to spot animals and entertain you with music certainly added to the enjoyment of your trip. It's heartening to hear about the personalized touch, like the song he created for your daughter's university graduation. We're glad you found our tour company to be exceptional and offering great value for money. Your positive feedback is truly appreciated, and we're delighted to have been part of your memorable journey. Once again thank you.
The place is really worth seeing. The driver was fine, however, he was a driver, not a guide. He was helpful and punctual. The car in good condition so everything was ok. One thing to Viator, you could write that the trip will take 9 hours. One way drive is at least 4,5 hours, so two ways are 9 hours plus flamingos and if you like to see hot springs another 3 hours. So you need at least 13-14 hours (sometimes for lunch or rest). It could be a real problem like in our case. We had an evening flight and we had to be back at 7 pm, thinking 9 hours from 6 am - no problem. It was a problem, we could see hot springs.
Dear Ochala, Thanks for booking your flamingos watching tour with us. You have mentioned this tour as worthy and recommended other travelers to book. For real, this is an exciting tour to the pink lake and suitable for birds lovers. We have also noted your suggestions on timings and we are adjusting accordingly. Thank you and welcome to Kenya again.
