Want to join a Kenyan safari in January?
I am a frequent visitor to Kenya and a wildlife photographer. My next trip, planned for January had my friend and her boyfriend join me. But unfortunately, due to an emergency, they had to postpone their trip and join me later on my next trip in November 2016.
I have a 4X4 safari modified Landcruiser (not the white vans that group travelers use) all to myself, but am willing to take 2-3 people that want to join. The vehicle accommodates 8 people, but I will not take more than 4 so that everyone has comfortable access to the roof hatches and have a good 360 degree view. I hate crowds, and every time I visit, my driver knows to stay away from them, and that is easier to do in our vehicle, which often crosses rivers in the Mara!
My travel plans are as follows:
You will need to arrive arrive in NBO on Jan 2.
Jan 3 - Leave Nairobi early morning for Abedare (Could change to Ol Pajeta)
Jan 4 - Ol Pajeta
Jan 5 - Lake Nakuru
Jan 6 - Masai Mara
Jan 7 - Masai Mara
Jan 8 - Masai Mara
Jan 9 - Leave Masai Mara for Nairobi after an early lunch.
The cost is $1995 per person and includes accommodation, entry fees, ground transportation, and all meals from lunch on the first day to lunch on the last day.
You will only see me during travel from camp to camp, and during safari, and you are free to do whatever you want at any other time, and keep your privacy.
Let me know if you are interested!

The itinerary and price seem more than reasonable, particularly given a knowledgeable driver, smaller 4WD with 2-3 people and avoiding the hired driver van - sardine cans surrounding game most get in Kenya.
Safari njema. Good luck!
