We were able to see so many animals up close. In addition to seeing all the big 5, he pointed out beautiful birds and all kinds of other wildlife. Going before the high season felt like a big win. We didn’t see the wildebeest migration, but we also didn’t have to battle crowds and it felt like we had the park to ourselves. The lodge he booked for us was amazing, and he made our pickup and drop off a seamless experience…

Kelvin was great. Very knowledgeable about all the animals. Good driver. Highly recommend Utamandani courtyard restaurant for lunch. Went in May so park wasn't too full. GrassesKelvin was great. Very knowledgeable about all the animals. Good driver. Highly recommend Utamandani courtyard restaurant for lunch. Went in May so park wasn't too full. Grasses were high though because of rainy season limiting view of some animals. Great for a half day excursion when in nairobi. Not the same as going for an overnight on serngheti though…
