Thinking of a group Safari? Think Freeman Safaris. We got you covered.
We recently hosted a group of amateur photographers, and they all had a wonderful time at the camp.
We were a group of 10 people who stayed at Freemans Safari Camp in Masai Mara for a 5 day safari in August 2024
It was fantastic! Up at 5am for a 6 am start, Milton was our Masai driver. He was awesome! And he proved one morning in front of us that he can do 30 pushups consecutively! We remain impressed even today! He knew exactly where to find the animals and birds, he was patient and knowlegeable about their behaviour and habits who was always considerate of our personal safety regarding the proximity of the animals.
The food was always very good, dinner was always a hearty 3 course affair. Everything Peter, the cook, made was delicious and plentiful. We loved the nightly ritual of reurning from a long day's game safari to sit nerar the fire pit and enjoy a drink or three and nibble on the little samosas passed around while recounting the amazing sights and experiences from the day's adventures.
Amigo, the waiter, was always very attentive and considerate in meeting your needs whether it was for a drink or food order or something more personal that you might need help with.
On some game safari days we were treated to the kitchen crew driving out at lunchtime and setting up a table with a freshly prepared feast under a shady acacia tree with chairs and serving delicious food and cool drinks out on the savannah . Very"Out of Africa"!It was a luxurious experience, and a very special and memorable one. Jacki was a delightful personality who was always very helpful and great to talk to. She was so considerate and helpful when I experienced a short lived period of ill health, during our stay Thank you so much Jacki for your kindness and assistance at this time.
Brian was a great source of local knowledge about the Masai Mara having lived there for 40 years. He is also a crack photographer. His photographs adorn the dining area of the lodge. They are truly impressive. In fact, I asked him if they were shot in a studio as the animals are so perfectkly captured looking directly at the camera in family groups often accompanied by their cubs. Incredible captures! And his photos of the wilderbeest migration are astonishing-
portraying the claustrophobic mass of thousands of anxious animals plunging through the river in a desperate urge to get to the other side knowing there were hidden dangers to navigate on their perilous journey.
I would not hesitate in highly recommending Freeman's Safari Camp for your next Masai Mara adventure. You will be rewarded with amazing experiences, friendly staff, great food and a lifetime of memories.
