Getting up early was absolutely not mine and the perceived very high price initially kept my expectations low, but I was convinced by the great driver, the park, Kilimanjaro and the dream lodge with perfect food / service! As a recommendation, I can say for others that an overnight stay in the lodge amidst the animals, i.e. the whole thing as a 2- or 3-day trip, will definitely increase again!

This is such a great tour if you have some time in Nairobi. If you're ever in Kenya, this is a must! We saw at least 50 elephants just in front of Mount Kilimanjaro. We visited in January, so everything was very green and in pristine condition. Our driver was Anthony Clove. He knew so much about the animals and told us everything we wanted to know about them. We (2 people) had the minibus to ourselves so it was something like a private safari. The food in the Ol Tukai Lodge was a big buffet and there was enough to make everyone happy :). We were very lucky to see Cheetahs on the hunt, a rock python on the hunt and a one day old baby hippo. We visited two National Parks in Kenya (Amboseli and Nairobi NP) and it was definitely worth visiting them both! Just be aware if you have back problems or motion sickness, this may not be right for you as the streets can get very very bumpy. It seems like a very long day of driving but it's worth it (The view on the way is great)
