Great Safari Experience - Booked the Safari overnight stay for my husband’s birthday, a day before got a WhatsApp message to say we were on the waiting list & the lodge was fully booked, it would have been nice have been when I booked and made payment that we were on a waiting list. This was disappointing. Alternative accommodation was offered, which was very comfortable, great friendly staff and good food. The Safari experience was amazing, our guide Benjamin was the best, he was very professional and he took the extra steps to ensure that we had the best experience. His knowledge on the animals was next to none, he promised Lions and he came through, he has am eagle eye for spotting the animals, would definitely recommend this safari, if you can ask for Benjamin.

More than recommendable! A must do! - We booked the trip in advance in Germany a long time ago and used the option "pay later". After we arrived at the hotel came the booking confirmation of the excursion. Shortly afterwards came a WhatsApp with the welcome and unfortunately the hint that the planned appointment could only take place with overnight stay in an alternative hotel. However, I was also offered two alternate dates for the overnight stay at SaltLick Lodge, which I also chose. So the safari was a day earlier than planned. What I'm saying is that even if something doesn't go according to plan, there is a lot of effort being made to find alternatives! The journey itself was outstanding. Our guide Badru was incredibly friendly and accommodating. Told us a lot and also told us a lot of questions about Kenya and its culture along the way. He also knows the roads to the nature reserve very well, so we were able to bypass all traffic jams even if that means driving off-road for a short time! Just before we even got to dad nature reserve, there was an elephant standing on the side of the road and here too he has already stopped for photos and information about the animal. The rest of the ride was quieter. The lodge itself into a dream! I'm infinitely glad I didn't have to stay outside. In the evening, the elephants came to about 1 meter before one and drank water. Many zebras and antelopes were also visible at the waterhole. And then to be woken up at 3 a.m. with a lion's roar. These also came to the waterhole. And right at 6am we started looking for the lions. There were a lot of radio messages where the lions could be but following those radio cues didn't do any good. Then Badru ignored the radio sense and drove the route on his own over another route and lo and behold - we discovered the lions! It has been an incredible highlight to be the first to find the lions. Something I'll never forget. For this rethink and take initiative I simply have to thank Badru again here! When we had to say goodbye to the lodge, it was already emotional for me. On the way back we also stopped at a Masai village which showed us their culture and dance. Of course this was a small extra charge but this half hour in her village was beautiful and shows the simplicity in Kenyan life. This ride is more than just recommended!

Great experience with knowledgable guide - I booked this trip from the Uk so absolutely had no clue how accurate the description to the trip would be. It was spot on ! I had a courtesy message the night before as a reminder then on the morning of the trip Benjamin texted to confirm his arrival at the hotel. From the get go he was informative of what we were to expect and made sure we were comfortable well hydrated and looked after on the whole of our trip nothing was too much trouble at all ! The wealth of knowledge he has for the animals as to finding them in the park and in general facts about them was really good we even saw a Leopard and the close up lion was also something that will stay with us forever We had the best time and it was really was due to Benjamin being such a great guide and going above and beyond thank you ! Salt lick lodge on check in the room wasn’t a great view however we asked to be moved and it was fabulous and it was no trouble it was very busy when we were at breakfast lunch dinner (there was vegetarian options and soya milk labelled )however this is the only time we felt this in reflection the park you could go miles not seeing another vehicle for ages i absolutely would recommend the private tour it suited us really well as it was tailored to us and at our pace :-) If I could make one suggestion I would say the stop off on the way back could do with some labels on their food for the lunch Thanks again Benjamin the best time !
