To say this trip, Ben and his guides, exceeded my expectations is a huge under statement. My time in Kenya and Tanzania was amazing. Our guides were so knowledgeable and willing to share insights about the bush and the various species it only added to the uniqueness of this adventure. Time spent driving, observing and relaxing with Ben, Robert and Chiba (?) sp. added so much to our over all experience. All the guides were willing to give us the experiences we wanted wether it be an exceptionally long day, starting with a hot air ballon ride and ending with seeing a treed cheetah at sunset. Or sitting for long periods of time observing hypos in their mating rituals or large prides of lions resting from a hunt to playing with young cubs to massive numbers of wilderbeast migrating to the Serengeti to seeing an extinct cat, a Caracaol, in the Ngorongoro Crater.
The lodges we stayed in were lovely, fitting of the environment we were in, ranging from quaint to luxurious. Everyone we encountered from management to the staff at the various lodges was friendly and willing to do whatever you needed or wanted to ensure your stay exceeded your expectations.
This trip was not a cookie cutter trip. It was planned with our interest in mind. I would certainly recommend Ben and his staff to anyone wanting to experience Kenya and Tanzania.
