点评:Hands down one of the best trips we've ever taken. Evergreen Escape gave us two weeks in Kenya that we'll be talking about for years, and what made it special wasn't just the wildlife, it was the balance. This wasn't safari after safari on a conveyor belt. It was world-class game viewing woven together with real encounters with everyday Kenyan life.
Our driver and guide for the whole trip was Jeff, who was fantastic. He drove us across every kind of terrain Kenya could throw at us, from highways and the busy streets of Nairobi to dust, mud, river crossings, and steep rural tracks, and we always felt safe with him. He clearly knew the country and its wildlife inside out. We saw the entire Big Five, watched hunts unfold out on the plains, and because we're keen birdwatchers, he happily stopped whenever something caught our eye. He also went to great lengths on the very last day to track down eland, the one animal we were still missing, and got them for us. On top of that, he was great company throughout, always smiling and in good spirits, which counts for a lot over two weeks on the road.
The safari itself was everything you'd hope for, with the plains full of life from the big cats down to the birds. But the parts that have stayed with us most were the visits connected to Carsten's NGO, which gave us a window into how people actually live and a sense that the trip was giving something back rather than just passing through.
The whole thing was organised so smoothly that we never had to worry about logistics. And the program itself was beautifully conceived, packed with one jaw-dropping moment after another while still leaving time for serene breaks, thanks to the creativity and diligence of Carsten and Vicky. If you want a Kenya trip that combines world-class wildlife with something more meaningful, we can't recommend Evergreen Escape highly enough, and with Jeff is your guide, you're in very good hands.

我们全程的司机兼向导是杰夫,他非常棒。他驾驶着我们穿越了肯尼亚各种各样的地形,从高速公路和内罗毕熙熙攘攘的街道,到尘土飞扬、泥泞不堪的路段、河流纵横以及陡峭的乡村小路,我们始终感到安全无虞。他对这个国家及其野生动物了如指掌。我们看到了“非洲五霸”,目睹了草原上的狩猎盛况。由于我们是狂热的观鸟爱好者,每当有鸟类吸引我们的目光,他都会欣然停车。在旅程的最后一天,他更是竭尽全力追踪我们此行唯一未能看到的动物——大羚羊,并最终为我们找到了它。除此之外,他全程都非常健谈,总是面带微笑,精神饱满,这在两周的旅途中尤为难得。
这次的野生动物之旅完全符合我们的预期,从大型猫科动物到各种鸟类,草原上生机勃勃。但最让我们印象深刻的还是与卡斯滕的非政府组织相关的参观活动,这让我们得以了解当地人的真实生活,也让我们感受到这次旅行不仅仅是一次短暂的停留,更是一次有意义的回馈。
整个行程安排得井井有条,我们完全不必担心任何后勤问题。行程本身也构思巧妙,精彩纷呈,令人叹为观止的瞬间一个接一个,同时又留出了宁静的休憩时间,这都要归功于卡斯滕和维姬的创意和细致周到。如果您想体验一次既能欣赏世界级野生动物又能收获更深远意义的肯尼亚之旅,我们强烈推荐 Evergreen Escape,而杰夫作为您的向导,更是让您倍感安心。
