Discussions Bretonsdu56 took part in

Hello, We found an English-speaking guide, but do you happen to know a French-speaking one? He’s offering 6 days for $1,700/day per person. There’s just the two of us.

Thanks so much! Planned for July/August 2025 LesBretonsdu56

Hello,

We’re heading to Kenya from July 14 to August 3, 2025. We’ve swapped our house to get our first base in Nairobi.

I’d like to know if the Severin Safari Camp is well located relative to the entrance of Tsavo National Park? From what I’ve read in another discussion, it’s better to hire a driver (rather than renting a car)?

Same question for Maasai Simba Camp?

And finally, what do you recommend for the Masai Mara: how many days should we plan? Any accommodation tips?

Thanks so much in advance.

Hi everyone!

I’m planning to go to Kenya next year for a safari trip across a few parks. I’ll be traveling solo!

I’m having trouble understanding how lodges and safaris work! My first questions are:

1-Do I need to find an agency that handles lodges and safaris? Or 2-Should I book lodges through Expedia or similar and then reserve activities (safaris or others) that these lodges offer?

This will help me figure out how to organize everything and whether I should focus on an agency or the lodges themselves.

Thanks!
