It's an amazing 3 days experience! In a single day, we witnessed the migration of thousands of wildebeest, a huge herd of leopards and elephants. On the second day, we had an incredible game drive - watching a group of lions preparing to hunt, seeing hippos resting in a river, and even spotting a rare leopard! Accommodation was comfortable and the food was good. The experience of sitting next to the campfire in the evening and talking and watching the night masai die in the light of the stars was truly unique.

We did a 5-day Amboseli, Tsavo East, and Tsavo West Coastal Safari with Bencia Africa Adventure and Safaris, and the experience was great! The sight of the huge elephant herd in the backdrop of Kilimanjaro in Amboseli, the red clay dusting elephants and lions in Tsavo—everything was amazing. Our guide was very experienced and friendly, who made every moment of the safari enjoyable. Accommodation, food, and service were all excellent. The end of the tour is made more memorable by the beauty of the beach. This is definitely a five-star experience!
