5 day safari with Grayson expeditions - 5-Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate Budget Safari We couldn't have chosen a better way to visit Kenya than our trip with Grayton Expeditions. From the moment Sandra and Arony met at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport, we felt welcome and well taken care of. Lake Nakuru Lodge was the perfect way to start our safari. Our Driver/guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the fauna and flora The food was delicious and plentiful. And the animals ... WOW! What a joy to see them so close. We felt truly fortunate to have a driver/guide who was so attuned to their habitats that they could spot a tiny bush baby in the dark, or predict where and when a leopard would emerge from the bush. We loved placing our camera trap and revisiting it 5 days later. We recorded visits from a Jackal, an Impala, a Bush Fox and a beautiful Leopard! It was important to us that we spend our money in a way that would have a positive impact on conservation and community. Grayton Expeditions contributes so much to Elehpant conservation and the primary school in Masai Mara. We were lucky to have had the opportunity to visit the conservation centre in Nairobi and the school and see what a difference they make. One couldn't ask for a more companionable, knowledgable and fun-to-be-with Driver/guide Arony. Sandra made the administrative side of the entire safari run smoothly, and so stress-free that we were able to enjoy every minute of our safari. I truly cannot imagine a better way to visit this remarkable country.

5 day safari in kenya - 5-Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru & Hell's Gate Budget Safari Just returned from this most enjoyable (and different) safari in Kenya. Excellent driver/guide in Dan. A thoughtful mix of accommodation, and activities at Hell;s Gate made the whole trip flow together and made us appreciate the planning that had been put in by Sandra. Wildlife sightings were excellent (especially elephants) but the whole experience was different to the normal lodge/game drive safari. I would suggest it is a more authentic way to experience and get a feel for the real African Safari.

5 day Masai Mara,Lk Nakuru and Hell's Gate budget safari - 5-Day Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate Budget Safari Enjoyed Sopa Mara Lodge in Masai Mara with solar power, luxury Lodge lovely accommodation. I loved all of it! Food was fantastic at the first two lodges and very good at the third one. The Driver/Guide was knowledgeable and enthusiastic, no complaints whatsoever. The Animals were the stars, and they were in abundance, from big to small. I especially enjoyed the informative and fun bush walk with Olekina at Hell's Gate and the optional cycling in the wild with wild animals. The Grayton Expeditions team never dropped the ball on anything. Everything went smoothly. I highly recommend this company and Sandra for taking Her time to ensure that we enjoyed the safari.

5 day Masai mara, lake Nakuru and Hell's Gate private safari - 5-Days Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, and Hell's Gate Private Safari Grayton Expeditions provided an amazing safari experience for our family holiday in Kenya. The safari was designed to enable us to see a wide range of wildlife and did not disappoint - we saw all of the 'big five' and many other species of animals, birds and reptiles. The lodges and tented camps provided high-quality accommodation in beautiful locations and had been carefully selected. We felt very safe throughout and were well looked after by the knowledgeable team. I would highly recommend this safari to anyone who is planning a safari to Kenya in the future

5 Day private safari - 5-Day Private Safari Every Day A Lovely New Adventure Recently I had my second trip to Kenya, and this one was by far the best. Everything arranged by Grayton Expeditions happened smoothly and seamlessly. Now I have a full appreciation of why my friend loves Kenya, and why she entrusts her schedule to Sandra, Kenya is a beautiful country full of happy people and flora and Fauna the topography is amazing all the time, and if I ever have an opportunity to visit again, I would not hesitate to put myself in the capable hands of Grayton Expeditions, and then relax.

5 Day private Safari - 5-Day Private Safari We loved Kenya, and we are pleased we made the safari; we will return to Kenya at some stage in the future. We were lucky with what we saw, and the highlight for me was the tour of Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, which was fascinating and informative. The safari jeep used in the National parks was spacious for all of us with a pop roof great for viewing and photography.

5 Dayprivate Safari Masai Mara - 5-Days Private Safari Masai Mara I took my parents on this holiday of a lifetime and we were extremely happy with how everything was organized by Grayton Expeditions. The staff, the Driver/guide, and everyone at the lodge were amazing. The food was outstanding, and the staff was extremely helpful and friendly. The Driver/guide who took us on a drive or walk has a clear passion for the animals, plans, and the ecosystem of Masai Mara and it shows. Each day was an adventure and each day we managed to see something extraordinary. I couldn't recommend them highly enough.

5 Days private Safari with Grayson Expeditions - Special Safari for my Wife I asked Grayton Expeditions to put together a safari that would celebrate my wife's retirement and they delivered. Sandra took extreme measures to ensure that everything we asked for was delivered most notably a big change in the. itinerary for Lake Nakuru so that we could go Ol Pejeta Conservancy (she even arranged for us to sightsee the Chimpanzees and the Black Rhinos). The safari Lodges/camps were exceptional from the incredibly helpful and friendly staff to the wonderful food and of course the great safari out to see the animals. Our driver/guide Dan was very knowledgeable and made sure that all safari was well worthwhile finding a vast range of animals for us to see. We were lucky to see all the big 5 (all in one day!) but not only that we saw lions, wild dogs, and the threatened ground hornbill. Overall this was a truly brilliant holiday and we would recommend Grayton Expeditions to all our friends, they did provide the best tour we could have ever imagined.

5-Dàys Masai Mara, L. Nakuru & Hell's Gate - 5-Dàys Masai Mara, L. Nakuru & Hell's Gate During our 5-day wildebeest safari, led by Dan Castro, our driver/guide, we were fortunate to track(wildebeest a long river Mara), sighting the lions and hyenas as following the wildebeest. The sights and sounds alone made the safari a unique experience and will live in my memory forever. As a Bonus, we enjoyed the amazing insight into the world of elephants and their role in this ecosystem. Someone I will always remember and appreciate is Sandra and the entire team of how far they took to ensure that our entire safari was fabulous.
