Paul and Wendy travelled to Kenya’s Masai Mara as part of a photography group
Well what can we say but what a truly wonderful trip. We did not want to come home. Everything was fantastic. Simon and Olivia were the perfect hosts, even looking after the people who were ill, like their own family. The guides and staff at the camp were fantastic as well. And your organisation of the trip was very good. I don’t think there is a mark higher than 10 out of 10, but there should be. Can’t wait to go back and we will return. Thank you so much.

Regions
Chyulu Hills
The Chyulu’s are a beautiful range of hills lying to the north-east of Kilimanjaro. They are of volcanic origin, and at their base, several forested volcanic lava flows snake out across the surrounding plains to create a varied and interesting landscape. There are also a number of granite hills dotted across the plains which add further to the scenic experience. Although a little further away from Kilimanjaro, this region offers a far more exclusive alternative to Amboseli.
The game-viewing is not as guaranteed, but the scenery is stunning and the safari experience more personalised. The eastern side of the hills are gazetted as a National Park, whilst the western side comprises a Conservation area owned by a number of Maasai group ranches. It’s the latter which houses most of the safari options – excellent horse riding safaris through the hills and along the plains towards Kilimanjaro are complimented by a couple of lodges offering game drives (night and day) and walks.
