What sort of vehicles will we travel in?

You will be in 4-wheel drive Land-Rover's or Toyota Land-Cruiser's. These vehicles have been custom designed to my specifications. Each vehicle has large roof hatches for the best visibility and photographic opportunities. The vehicles are also equipped with first aid kits, radios, hand held spotlights, two spare wheels and tool kits to cope with any situation.

How many people will there be in each vehicle?

These vehicles are designed to carry up to 5 passengers in comfort. Each person is guaranteed a window seat and access to a roof hatch.

Who will be driving us?

I will personally be driving the vehicle. When there are more that 5 passengers the second vehicle will be driven by another experienced professional guide.

What are the camps like?

This is camping in style! My camps are designed to give you the full flavour of traditional Africa without losing any comfort. The tents are set up by an experienced crew of staff in a remote site prior to our arrival. The tents are large canvas affairs, well ventilated by large insect proof windows. This is undoubtedly the best way to experience Africa - from the luxury of your own private camp.

What sort of beds do we sleep on?

There are metal framed beds with thick, comfortable foam mattresses and luxurious bedding. The sleeping tents are also furnished with chairs, tables, canvas wardrobes, washstands and additional items such as mirrors, flashlights and towels.

What sort of food will we be eating?

The food is prepared by an excellent chef of many years experience. The produce is all fresh, bread is even baked every day, and there are a variety of dishes served from fresh salads and fruit to gourmet meals of home made lasagna and roast lamb.

What is there to drink?

There is unlimited supply of bottled drinking water as well as a variety of sodas, juices and beer. A bar service with the common liquors is also provided. If you have a favourite, then bring it with you from duty free as it may not be available locally. There is refrigeration in camp and plenty of ice for the drinks.

Who are the staff?

The staff are an integral part of any successful safari. Many of them worked for my father, and as they have retired with my father, so their sons and nephews have taken their places. There are strong bonds of mutual respect between our families. You will find them the most willing and cheerful group of men you could ever hope to meet.

What other sort of places will we stay at?

Any hotels or lodges used while you are enroute during the safari are selected for the best combination of service, quality and ambiance. The choices range from plush resort style hotels to eco-friendly affairs tucked away in secluded places. Alternatively we might chose to stay at a private homestead with the hosts on their private ranch who will give you an insight into the lifestyles of other people living in Kenya.

What do we need to bring?

Most essential is a decent pair of binoculars each. This will improve your enjoyment of the wildlife immeasurably. As far as clothing goes, you need to bring a selection of mostly lightweight stuff with one or two warmer items. Laundry is done every day while in camp so there is no need to bring too much. Everything you need should pack into one duffel bag.
