1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?

The safaris and the two tented camps! Being so close to the animals even at night, the amazing sunrises, having a wonderful guide who taught us about the animals, plants, local culture and geographical features.

2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?

Bring binoculars, warm clothes for the crater especially at night. If you do the waterfall walk near Lake Natron, wear a swimming costume under your clothes!

3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

Apart from flying which is unavoidable, I felt the holiday offered many local people employment, the zero plastic law was very evident although it did mean we could not drink any water other than that provided in our vehicle. Our guide was incredibly litter conscious and all sites were free of litter. The national parks were superb offering animals an almost completely natural environment (apart from us humans!)

4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?

It was over and above what we expected! An experience we will treasure and hopefully repeat!

Read the operator's response here:

Sometimes it’s not obvious, but even the small things make a difference! For example, choosing to transfer by road from the Masai Mara instead of a short flight reduces carbon emissions and allows you more opportunity on the ground to support local communities, whether that’s shopping for local crafts or dining in a local café. Your visits in the Karen area directly support the Sheldrick Wildlife Trust and African Fund for Endangered Wildlife. Further, just by booking your holiday with one of Responsible Travel’s trusted operators, you can be sure that your safari suppliers are chosen carefully. The lodges you stayed in and your Kenyan ground handlers all have strong eco-credentials, and through their own foundations and direct work, will strive to support the communities and wildlife in the region. We are always interested in ideas of how environmental impact can be improved in our destinations and we work closely with our suppliers to ensure your visit is always net positive. Do feel free to contact us with your observations if you think there are any more areas for improvement! We’re delighted you had such a good experience in Kenya.
