The exhibit was well designed and informativeTigerwala15 March 2024Excellent introduction to Kenyan safaris Enjoyed an exceptional customized tour of Amboseli NP with Twinkle Star tours. The owner, James, is a master of customer service. He responded promptly to my questions, checked in on me during my trip, and even personally delivered some Kenyan coffee to me at my hotel since I didn't have time to get it myself. Amboseli NP was excellent! I had some incredible wildlife sightings including elephant/lion interactions, my first cheetah, and incredible bird life. I also spent a couple of hours visiting a village of the amboseli masai, which was really interesting. My driver Daniel spoke english very well and was able to position the vehicle in just the right way to help me get some great shots of the wildlife. Great tour overall. Very pleased with my experience.Fabpk20248 March 2024nice experience March is the good season for the visit, 3 days would have been more pleasant. the lodge was good (wood fire, super clean room, opposite a water point with elephants, hypopos, buffaloes etc. evening and morning => guaranteed amazement).
