Most amazing trip - Had the most amazing time at the safari. Thanks SafariLineDefender! I’ve seen all the big 5, lots of animals each day. I did the Kenya and Tanzania joint safari trip and it was an incredible experience! Rose was super helpful at organising everything. Hot air balloon over Masai Mara was one of the highlights! I originally booked 13 day safari but halfway through I realised that it was quite a lot as you do have to sit in a 4x4 or Van most of the time (for your safety). It does get a bit exhausting after a while. Rose was very helpful at adjusting my trip and shortening it to 11 days. Thanks so much, i loved my trip!
