Ready for safari? Now is the time.

Have you been planning a safari? Do not wait anymore. We are the best in the field, boasting over 40 years experience in running safaris in Kenya. Here’s what Leslie has to say.

I have wanted to go on Safari for fifty years & first came across Brian's website around 10 years ago. This year circumstances meant I was finally able to go. I was not dissapointed. After an overnight flight to Nairobl & a short flight to Masai Mara, I was met at the landing strip by Brian himself & Jackson, a young Guide. On arriving at the camp I was greeted with a glass of cold refreshing fruit juice & given time to freshen up & drop my bags off at my accommodation before being whisked off in a Landrover with Jackson to begin my long awaited adventure. Within 24 Hrs of stepping out of my front door I was bouncing around in a 4x4 seeing things I had only seen on TV or in pictures. Jackson's passion for the wildlife & especially the numerous birds, was obvious & he was happy to point out various birds in a book that was well thumbed. After returning to camp for lunch & a breif rest we were back out around 15.30 for more game viewing, returning only as the sun went down at around 18.30. After a quick shower, we enjoyed drinks around the fire & a tasty meal to round off a fantastic first day with the highlight being the sighting & photographing of a Leopard which I hadn't expected during the whole trip let alone on the first day. The rest of the trip consisted of being out all day from 06.00am until 18.30 pm with breakfast & lunch being served from a picnic hamper so that we could cover a larger area & not have to cover the same ground twice. Reuben was the guide for the the remainder of my stay & whereas Jackson was young & enthusiastic, Reuben was experieced, Knowlegeable (with 35 yrs guiding experience) & knew exactly where to place the vehicle for the best viewing & photographs. His driving was also exceptional, getting us around quickly but as smoothly as the road conditions would allow. If you wanted to see a particular animal he would try his very best to locate it either by talking to other passing guides or by using his extensive knowledge of the arrear. There are many types of safari out there & I even went on an overland trip back through Mara, on to Serengetti & Ngorongoro immediately after my trip to Brian's place. All of these trips offer a different experience but if this is your first African Safari & you want the real feeling of being amongst the wildlife, then I would give brian a try before anybody else. Although they may be listed as photographic Safaris, you don't need to be a keen photographer to really enjoy the experience. On one morning we had a pride of Lionesses walk towards us & split as they approached & walked past us. So close that I was unable to fit them in the viewfinder anyway & was just left to stare in awe at the beautiful animal as she looked me in the eye & silently moved on. Then there was the group of Elephants as they made their way across the river after the other vehicles had got impatient & were keen to get back "on schedule". On this Safari you can decide to let the guide take you to all the best sightings & you will be more than happy. Or you could take a more assertive roll & tell him what you want to see. Try doing that when you are in a truck with 15 other people. Whatever you choose I assure you that you will not be be dissapointed.
