Absolutely everything about this place is first; rate the animals, environment, the ecotourism, the staff…I couldn’t have been more content than here. Every desired was fulfilled before it was even requested.

In common with some other reviewers we booked this through Julius, who was really very good. Do book with him, it’ll be crazy not to! I went with my husband and our 9 year old son. I really cannot say anything was bad about our stay here, in fact only good. The arrival on the aircraft was fantastic; game viewing... More

A refreshing experience of old fashioned customer service. At the end of November four of us went on safari to the Masai Mara organised by Julius Nzumbi of JT Safaris in Mombasa (not to be confused with any other “Julius”). We had a very special experience. Julius arranged for us to be collected from Turtle Bay Beach Club and dropped... More

Without doubt, this was our highlight of Kenya. Saw everything imaginable, including a kill, and had a wonderful guide. Everyone that worked there were so friendly to us, and we made some good friends with the staff, inluding Sammy who would always hook us up with whatever we needed. We were in the last tent right on the creek, and... More

The previous review sums it up. We booked with Freddy Muthengi in Mombasa before we left the UK. Joseph was also our driver and was brilliant. All the staff were superb. The food was the best we had in Kenya and accommodation in the tent was such a great experience. Thoroughly recommended.

We stayed at Kichwa Tembo camp from 5th to 7th October and it was absolutely fantastic. The staff were all so lovely and the camp felt very luxurious and peaceful. We'd booked it about 2-3 weeks previously by e-mailing Freddy Muthengi having read several reports about him on the Kenya forums. He met us at our beach hotel in Mombasa,... More

I stayed for three nights in one of the luxury tents and came away a believer in CC Africa. They are running a fine ship. Staff are very well trained and the food and accomodations are top-rate. The bed in my tent was unbelievably comfortable. I was there in August, so it got a bit chilly at night. A butler... More
