    We enjoyed the trip in the National Park. The guide was excellent and knows the Park very well. We could se many lions, rinos and many other animals. I would suggest the guide to everybody. His name and phone number: Peter 0711890451

    Started early in the morning at around 7am before the guards opened their hut where you are supposed to pay an entrance fee so I just passed as there was nobody. It was really cold in the beginning but immediately as the sun shows up the temperatures are rising instantly. It's a gentle trek for the longest part. Just up and down hill but offers some great views of Nairobi and the Rift Valley on the other side. I loved the atmosphere as there are not too many facilities and its more adventurous this way. It took me about 3 hours from the entrance to the exit where you somehow end up without any infrastructure but I found a motorbike driver that took me back all the way to village nearby where I was able to call a Uber to get back to town. Great experience overall

    Beautiful trail. I'll never forget the experience. Hiking with a fun group made it even better.

    Best rental car service I’ve had in Kenya. The staff are awesome, very professional, and helpful. The SUV was tops, similar experience to my car which has often been a rarity for rental car services in Kenya.

    I was at the submarine room and it was such a great experience trying to figure out the clues.

    I did the 4 day trip to Mt Kenya and sumitted Lenana peak. Karibu organised transport to & from the mountain which went very smoothly but the best part of the trip was my guide Kevin and chef Maron. Kevin was excellent, great to chat to about life, Kenyan culture and park wildlife etc. Maron cooked the most incredible and plentiful meals and together they created an excellent experience for me. They went above and beyond - Setting up my tent, setting up cute lunch locations en route and made the trip the best. Communication before the tour was great answering questions and good value for money.

    The Safaris Unlimited set up and the Mara is just magical. Memories and experiences that shape your life and stay with you forever. It’s a place of deep personal reflection where you can quietly do your soul searching in big open plains, by a bubbling river of hippos or around a fire at sundowners with a Dawa in hand.

    The crew, the horses, the food, the landscape, the wildlife and of course Felicia and Gordie all make this time the most incredible place you’ll never want to leave.

    The attention to detail is simply mind-blowing, the passion is inspiring and the entire environment or should I say family is like no other.

    I’d challenge anyone to go and not have experiences that will change your life for the better, forever.

    I contacted Julius from my home country Belgium through mail and asked him to organise a small safari for 3 persons. Julius was very reactive and organised everything well. It was our first time in Kenya so I did not know what to expect..Julius organised a.wonderfull trip to east tsavo and taiti hills sleepover in the salt lick safari Lodge. We had the most likely guide in the person of Dominique..he was a safe driver and a very gentle person. Julius followed up all the time to see. If everything was just fine. I must say that i was very impressed by the organisation..so if you want to go on safari do not hesitate to organise this with Julius just based.on a mail 10.000km away. Thank you Julius for the wonderfull time!!!

    Definitely going back for this amazing immersion. Its the best thing to do with my friends in Nairobi. I got to understand my friends even better (the joyriders,the analyst,the doers, the motivators etc)
    We did the easiest of them all but it was a crazy one. You really don't know where the finish line is but the thrill makes you think beyond your current capacity.
    I would really recommend everyone to go to Hepa Eacape room, TRM for an experience of a lifetime

    We did ‘The Mirror of Love’ and it was really fun! Also quite challenging, as we only just made it in the last second. 😊👍👍

    Anja took a small group out for four hours, and it was a superb experience. I am somewhere between an advanced intermediate and advanced rider, so it is a joy to ride gorgeous,well mannered and well-trained horses in the same places as Karen Blixen did many years ago. Anja and her staff are incredibly kind, the tack is in fine fettle and the scenery is varied and lovely. If you are a beginner, the staff are able to allow more advanced riders to canter while you get your sea legs and move at your own pace. The ride we took allowed us to view the Great Rift Valley, local farms, and share the road with everything from busloads of kids to piki piki motorcycles to goats. The good news is that these horses are largely bomb-proof, given the level of noise that they encounter on the roadway, which is very soothing for those unaccustomed to riding next to busy roads. That, however is brief, and it's not long before you're adventuring to see Kenyan villages, or going for a lively trot or sweet canter. Anja is a journalist, and as a fellow journalist I love her lively intelligence and conversation. If you are staying a while and want to brush up on your eventing skills, Malo is the place, and according to Anja, polo season revs up around her in April and May. I plan to be back around then for the festivities. In all ways, if you are a horse person, or simply want to ride in a world made famous by Out of Africa, this is your stable.
