We (my fiance and I ) just returned to the U.S. after spending 12 amazing days in Kenya. Joseph did a great job at organizing our trip and ensured we got what we desired out of our visit, which included cultural immersion, safari drives, and a relaxing stay at the beach. Joseph was communicative and provided all of the details for our trip a few days before our arrival date. (I am very organized and thrive on details so I appreciated this very much.) Our driver, Eric, was amazing! He was knowledgeable, professional, and always prioritized our safety while exploring the country. We recommend Joseph and the rest of his team and will use them again in the future. Thanks for everything!

The food here was incredible. We spent 12 days in Kenya and the food here was within my top two out of all our lodging experiences during the trip. Having all the wild life animals right outside your door was a unique experience. The only downside was our mattress was SO hard. My fiance and I struggled to fall asleep. However we were only here for one night so not a huge issue. The pros outweighed the con for sure.

This is a once in a life time experience. If you are looking for a true cultural immersion, then look no further! The people were warm and welcoming in a very sincere way. We felt like family while staying with them and learned so much about their culture. Honestly, I am not an outdoorsy person so this was outside of my comfort zone but I would stay here again and again to get to experience and learn more about the Maasai culture.

My fiance and I loved this place! To the point where we were a little sad to leave despite heading to the beach to relax for the remainder of our trip. The food-delicious. The accommodations-gorgeous and comfortable! The staff-friendly and happy to help. Amos checked on us and helped us during our stay and was wonderful at his job. Thank you for welcoming us! We shall return

Diani Beach

The rooms are a bit dated but the air conditioner works and the bed is comfortable. We spent all of our time in the sun anyway so I was not as worried about the accommodations. The staff were friendly and helpful. My only downside was the quality of the food was lacking in terms of options and flavors for different meals. However, the beach was pretty and the pool was nice.
