On the whole I would rate the safari as terrific. It exceeded our expectations. All of the properties that we overnighted in were excellent. My favorites were the Mara West Camp in Kenya and the Katikati Camp in the Serengeti. But these were difficult choices. There were no bad ones!
This was a land safari with no in country air travel. All of the drivers (4) went out of their way to make the safari as enjoyable as possible. In fact we observed some wildlife events in Kenya that we might well have missed were it not for the drivers diligence. As far as wildlife is concerned the experience in Kenya was more satisfying than that in Tanzania probably due to the time of the year and migration status.
There was one glitch at the very beginning. Arrival times in Nairobi were not communicated to the local staff resulting in a confused start to the safari.
