Being a solo traveler, and on my first safari trip, I was anxious to say the least. But there was no need, as Henry and they team put all my worries at ease from the booking process, right through to the final day!
I went for the 6 day Safari, visiting Amboseli, Lake Nakuru, finishing at Masai Mara. For the first 4 days, my driver Johson was absolutely fantastic. I was simply amazed at his knowledge of both his country and the animals that can be found, answering any and all questions I fired at him. He also had exceptional eye sight, managing to spot the smallest of animals from what seemed to be a mile away. The game drives around Amboseli, and Lake Nakuru where an absolute joy - where he simple knew where to place the vehicle to get the best view/ photos of the animals, this payed off as it resulted in a pride of lions walking directly towards us at one point.
Unfortunately the vehicle we where using had to return to Nairobi half way through the trip, for its annual checkup. Johnson had to return also - however Henry had personally organized a second vehicle to continue the safari, and attended the finals days as a guide also. These final days I was privileged to have a Maasai person as the driver (sorry I forget his name), who once again had incredible knowledge of the area - and the wildlife. On top of that, he also had clear knowledge of where the various animals could be found throughout the day - with near laser accuracy to find them.
Ended the safari with a trip to a Kenyan BBQ in Nairobi with Henry!!
I cannot recommend Dume Africa enough. Henry was available at all times, answering both E-mails and phone calls swiftly to answer any questions I had.
Would I recommend, or use in the future? 110% yes!!
Thanks for an incredible experience, and I hope our paths cross in the future!
