Kirsty arranged a great combination of Kenya and Botswana; we just completed the trip. She is very thorough and knowledgeable, and does a superb job of working up the trip details because she has extensive experience with southern Africa, the camps, the guides, the travel, the relative costs and so on. This makes it easy for the traveler to decide on the best combination of countries and safari camps. Then she is into the details like transportation, guides, hotels , and does an incredible job of continuously following up during the trip.
So we did two nights in Nairobi and visited Giraffe Central and the Blixen museum. We enjoyed Joseph, our driver and guide, as well as luggage handler and airport director. We then spent four nights at Great Plain's camp Ol Donyo in SE Kenya. This camp is superb in every way. We wanted to see super tuskers, and this, combined with a side trip to Amboseli, is the place!
Next we flew to Joburg and on to Botswana for a four night stay at Okavango Explorer, another Great Plains Camp. Another great stay even though the water levels were incredibly high due to heavy rains early in the year. We actually had to get there by flying from Maun to Duba Plains with MackAir, followed be helicopter to the camp!
We then moved on to Elephant Havens, and elephant orphanage near Maun, where we spent five nights. Incredible place for direct contact with elephants under five years of age,
This was all arranged by Kirsty and her team, and everything went flawlessly including the nine internal flights involved.
We have been to Africa 12 times since 2013. Anywhere in Africa is the only agency we will ever use on future trips based on their outstanding performance on this trip. Our 2027 safari adventure has already been arranged by them.
