点评:We (4 people) spend 2 weeks on a private, custom-made Safari in Kenia and Tanzania with Roadside. A quick summary is that we had a wonderful time and definitely recommend them to anybody who wants a great experience.
Getting everything organized was easy and efficient, Zephania was very quick to answer all our questions and provide us with updates. We were able to take his base idea for the itinerary and customize it further to suit our needs - we added a park, added a night here and there, removed one stop as we had done it a few years back, nothing was ever an issue.
Once on the safari, everything went smoothly and according to plan. We were joined by three different guides (one at the beginning in Kenia, then one in Tanzania, and then another one in Kenia) and all of them were very flexible: if we wanted to set off a bit earlier, it was possible; if we wanted a full-day game drive without going back to the lodge for lunch, it was possible as well. In general, we stayed in the parks full days most of the time, and it was always possible. We are photographers with big lenses, and the guides were understanding and cooperative in terms of stopping the car for the best angles and lighting. They also seemed very passionate about their work, and we even got a few extras during our time there that were outside of our itinerary (shout out to Keffa for the second game drive in Nakuru and the boat ride in Naivasha). A very special thanks to Man man (Walter) for his enthusiasm and relentlessness, he really did all physically possible to show us what we desired to see (gnu crossing the Mara river!), and he always delivered. He was one of, if not the best, guide we've ever had, anywhere.
We are already planning on going back in a couple of years, and if we do, Roadside will definitely be the company we will contact to organize everything again.
翻译:我们(4 个人)在 Roadside 的协助下,在肯尼亚和坦桑尼亚进行了为期两周的私人定制狩猎之旅。简而言之,我们度过了一段美好的时光,强烈推荐给所有想要获得完美体验的人。
一切都安排得井井有条,Zephania 也很快解答了我们的所有问题,并及时更新了行程安排。我们根据他的基本行程方案,并根据自身需求进行了进一步的定制——我们增加了一个公园,增加了几个晚上的住宿,并像几年前一样取消了一站,一切都顺利顺利。
在狩猎之旅中,一切都按计划顺利进行。我们遇到了三位不同的导游(一开始在肯尼亚,然后是坦桑尼亚,最后在肯尼亚又有一位),他们都非常灵活:如果我们想早点出发,也可以;如果我们想进行一整天的狩猎之旅,无需返回小屋吃午饭,也可以。总的来说,我们大部分时间都在公园里待了一整天,而且总是有机会。我们是带着大镜头的摄影师,导游们都很理解我们,并且非常配合,会停下来寻找最佳角度和光线。他们似乎对自己的工作充满热情,我们甚至在行程之外还体验了一些额外的活动(特别感谢Keffa,他带我们去了纳库鲁的第二次狩猎之旅,以及在纳瓦沙的乘船游览)。特别感谢Man man(Walter)的热情和坚持,他真的尽一切努力带我们看到了我们想看的东西(牛羚穿越马拉河!),而且他总是能做到。他是我们遇到过的最好的导游之一,即使不是最好的,也是最好的。
我们已经计划几年后再去那里了,如果真的要去,Roadside绝对是我们再次联系的公司,帮我们安排一切事宜。
