Memories of Zanzibar -

You will spend the next few days and nights by the beautiful beach. This is the perfect end to a safari as you can relax and laze away the days on the white sandy beaches or on the turquoise waters. We believe a Beach Hotel is the ideal retreat!

The shores of Zanzibar host some of the world’s most splendid coral reefs, making diving one of the biggest attractions here. The underwater marine life is a world of its own – and you will want to spend hours exploring the surroundings! Your meal plan includes breakfast, lunch or dinner and your overnight will be a luxurious Beach Hotel.

Your stay in Zanzibar can last as many days as your desire, although we recommend at least three nights. It is possible to organize tours to the exotic city of Stone Town, which is a fusion of Arabic, European, African and Indian cultures. It is famous for being the birthplace of Freddie Mercury, labyrinthine streets, local markets and, of course, the famous spices!

Family Adventure - It was our first time in Kenya as a family and we were rather not sure of what to expect . We were well received at the airport by the Representative of Kenya Tru Nomad and proceeded on safari to Amboseli. The food was excellent throughout and was all included in the price. Our favourite was Sentrim Amboseli which is a tented camp with modern facilities and has a great atmosphere. There was a wide variety of animals to view wherever we went and that’s a plus to the agent for being able to anticipate client’s needs. We would thoroughly recommend booking a trip with Kenya Tru Nomads Tours.

7 day safari in Kenya followed by 4 days Dinai Beach - We were 2 couples and had an excellent time visiting Masai Mara, Amboseli and Tsavo parks - George our guide was outstanding. His experience and knowledge of animals and parks meant that we saw wildlife in settings we never expected. One day we saw 20 lions before breakfast (all easy to see)! We saw the wildebeest migration, cheetahs, leopards in trees and so much more. Our only disappointment was that we did not get to see the elusive rhino. We stayed in a mix of tented camps and lodges and for us the tented camps were more fun and of a higher quality. The journeys between parks were long and bumpy in parts but George was a great driver.

Trip of a lifetime - My mother and I did an 11 day Kenya/ Zanzibar trip. I honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Faith made the planning process SO easy and was very accommodating. She was even able to make a last minute change for our last excursion day. Faith always responded promptly to my emails which I greatly appreciated. Our guides George, Elijah, and Shauri were very knowledgeable and made sure that we saw the best that Kenya had to offer. All of our camp/ hotel accommodations were absolutely superb. I HIGHLY recommend Kenya Tru Nomads for your trip.

Aparajita and Suhas’s Review - Amazing experience! Faith is a very professional, thoughtful and efficient tour operator. She made sure we were always comfortable and put up in the best of the lodges and camps. The real asset of this company is their driver and guide, Mr Safari. Safari made our experience the most memorable one. He has a natural talent for game searching, and the required patience and energy for game viewing. We toured Tsavo East, Tsavo West, Amboseli, Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara with Safari; we got to see the big five animals within first 2-3 days, thanks to Safari’s motivation. He is extremely knowledgable and well versed with the park terrains, flora and fauna and local customs and cultures. We are still friends with him and would definitely tour with him again. Thanks to Faith’s arrangement, our stay in the Z Hotel in Zanzibar was also very comfortable and relaxing. We would recommend Tru Nomads to everyone and would definitely use their services should we do travel to East Africa again. Positive Highlights: 1. Mr. Safari, the tour guide-the best part of our trip 2. Amazing itinerary 3. Mara Sopa Lodge 4. The Z Hotel Suggestions: 1. Ask for Mr. Safari, the tour guide specifically 2. Make sure you are actually booked in the lodges/hotels you were promised at the time of booking. In busy seasons, changing hotels/lodges can be difficult 3. Ask for a 4x4 vehicle specifically, if possible
