Comment:
We had an excellent time with our guide, Barry, in Lake Nakuru and Samburu. He was informative, knowledgeable and interesting. We saw lots of wildlife, including a spectacular cheetah on a hunt, as well as some of the rarer species (Greve’s zebra, lions, leopards, rhinos, gerenuk) and lots of others too.
We did have one issue and that was when we arrived at the start of our journey to pay the remainder of the costs, we were unable to put this on our credit card. If you are expecting people to pay in cash, you need to let them know in advance, as most tourists these days rely on their credit or debit cards and do not carry a lot of cash or traveller’s cheques (as these are often somewhat difficult to cash also). And there is usually a limit to how much you can take out on a debit card in one day.
