VerifiedPosted on Tripadvisor David DA trip to remember Our 3 day visit with African Retreat to Ol Pejeta Conservancy was honestly such an unforgettable experience. (As a group of 6) At one point, our guide suddenly got word that the lions had moved to a different spot — and you could feel the excitement straight away. He quickly (but safely!) rushed us over, determined not to let us miss it. And we’re so glad he did because we got to see a beautiful lion family along the trail and near the trees, including the small cubs. We were so close to them and we saw the cubs playing and sticking near the pride, felt unreal. It was one of those moments you just stop and take in. We also saw giraffes moving so gracefully through the open plains and elephants calmly walking together. Every drive felt like something new was waiting around the corner. It wasn’t just about ticking animals off a list — it felt natural, exciting, and wholesome. From the lions and their cubs to the gentle giants roaming freely, the whole experience was unforgettable and truly special. The team also made sure we experienced nature with them as a family. It was truly breathtaking we all loved it.VerifiedPosted on Tripadvisor Walter HVisit to Kitale, Homa Bay County, Machakos and Kitui Pam and Africa Retreat drivers are the very best.

My trip through Samburu, Amboseli, and Sweetwaters was everything I could have dreamed of and more. Samburu was absolutely stunning the landscapes and wildlife felt so different and unique. Amboseli took my breath away with its endless elephants and the picture-perfect views of Mt. Kilimanjaro. Sweetwaters was the highlight for me; not only did I enjoy the game drives, but I also learned so much about conservation and got to see the incredible work being done to protect rhinos. The whole journey was seamless from the guides to the organization, everything was top-notch. I learned a lot, saw so much, and honestly could never have asked for a better trip.
