Top Tips from our Experts
Taylor
Destination Executive
“The view of the Masai Mara from 60 metres above in a hot air balloon brought a tear to my eye. Stay at the Little Governors Safari Camp and book your hot air balloon trip. Elephants grazing, giraffes eating, followed by a champagne breakfast in the bush. Something I will remember forever.”
George
Destination Specialist
“When going on safari remember to take an extension cable, that way you can charge your phone, camera, IPad and any other electrical items overnight at the same time. Nothing worse than running out of battery in your camera just when you spot one of The Big 5.”
Barbara
Destination Specialist
“On safari, make sure everyone has their own pair of binoculars -- it really is a necessity!”
