Reality Check
We offer a full service camping safari therefore tents will be erected and meals will be prepared for you unless you wish to help! We have our own cook who shops, prepares and cooks all camping meals. Transport is in a specialist overland vehicle, with good all-round visibility plus 4WD in the Masai Mara. There will be several early morning starts especially to view the wildlife, and a few long drives. Although the distances are not that great, some of the roads are quite poor and bumpy especially after the rainy season. We include breaks for toilet facilities, shopping, photos and meals. The spectacular scenery and glimpses of village life when travelling make the journeys more enjoyable but come prepared with a sense of adventure and a sense of humour for a holiday of a lifetime.
Normal group size and age
Min 10, max. 24 students with 2 teachers, 1 UK leader, 2 local leader/drivers and cook. Minimum age 15.
