5 Days in Kenya
We booked a 5-day tour package for Kenya through Safari.com. Anja was extremely prompt with her replies, had great suggestions and walked us through formulating our itinerary. She knew the area very well and was able to suggest alternatives when we needed to move things around. Looking forward to a wonderful African adventure!
