"Fantastic visit. We still can’t believe how many animals and birds we saw<br />

on the first morning. Everything was great - the food, the staff and our<br />

driver and guides. So we are sorry to leave but excited to continue our<br />

journey. Asante sana”<br />

Jacquelyn Hartley (Porini Amboseli Camp), September <strong>2019</strong><br />

“I honestly don’t know how the next camp can top this! We were able to<br />

see a lion cub. The watering hole outside the main tent was also amazing.<br />

I can't believe how many animals we've seen. Also the service here is top<br />

notch! I have no complaints. Thank you so much for making this trip so<br />

amazing for us!!<br />

African life. The animals we saw - and the quantity in their natural<br />

environment were amazing. It is great to see the conservation and<br />

forward planning so hopefully our children can enjoy the same.”<br />
