I completed the Masai Mara Game Reserve and Nairobi Overnight Trek, and I enjoyed every activity on the itinerary. I truly felt like I received the most thorough tour and overall experience I could have asked for. Enoch, our guide, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and I felt completely comfortable with him throughout the trip. The accommodations were very nice, and I felt safe during the whole excursion. The wildlife encounters were easily the most enjoyable parts of the trip, but I also loved getting to know the other five interns who accompanied me on the trek. The only challenge was the packed schedule—it was exhausting and very full—but I also feel like that pace allowed me to get the most out of the experience.

The Masai Mara Trek was one of the most amazing experiences of my life. Getting to see the Big 5 and interact with the Maasai people is something I will never forget. It was also incredible to get close with the people in our Land Cruiser and form connections that might not have happened otherwise. Our guide, Aaron, was amazing and so wise—he truly made the whole experience.

I decided pretty last minute—about two weeks before arriving in Kenya—that I wanted to take part in the Masai Mara Game Reserve and Nairobi Overnight Trek, and I’m so glad I did. The itinerary looked great, and it truly felt like we saw as much as possible in the few short days we were there. Our guide, Aaron, was amazing. Our vehicle was always laughing, singing, and probably being pretty loud and annoying, but he was happy to join in, keep the energy up (including providing a speaker), and share his knowledge of the Masai Mara. A big reason I loved this trek was how close I got with the people I went with. The lodging was great, and I always felt safe, well cared for, and well fed.
