African Home Adventures is proof that a safari doesn't have to be exorbitantly priced to be very decent and a lot of fun. We travelled with this company for eight days to Amboseli, Naivasha, Nakuru and Masai Mara, and everything about it was excellent.
We booked the safari through Mr. Albert Ouko, who patiently answered our questions over many months even as we checked out other operators. Mr. Ouko offered us a very competitive price, and any apprehensions we may have had quickly disappeared when we saw that our guide, as well as the hotels and camps we were accommodated it, were indeed very good.
Your guide can make or break your safari, and the person assigned to us, Mr. George Otieno, is the perfect balance of seriousness and fun. He is a self-motivated individual who truly loves his job and gets great joy in seeing his customers happy. A fantastic driver no doubt, but he is also full of stories from his many years as a guide. He knows the parks like the back of his hand, and possesses an encylopedic knowledge of the African bush and all its inhabitants. We saw an array of animals during our time there (all except the leopard, actually), and George was at hand to tell us about their lives. Photos are an important part of any safari, and thankfully, George seems to have a working knowledge of photography, always positioning the vehicle in the correct position to get the best shots of the wildlife and landscapes.
A special mention for the Enchoro wildlife camp at Masai Mara. Mr. Ouko insisted on it even when we requested a change, and for good reason. The camp is brilliantly maintained, very close to the gates of the park, and is run by a bunch of ever-smiling individuals who are always happy to help.
I highly recommend African Home Adventures, and if I were to visit Kenya again, I wouldn't hesitate to get in touch with them for another awesome safari.
