Kenya, Africa, Maasai Mara
Went on safari for our honeymoon, and cannot recommend Dream It Do It enough - Kip is not only a kind, helpful and very friendly person, he is also incredibly well-informed and has an almost superhuman ability to spot animals in the wild. Every day we saw something new, and with each new animal came flood of fascinating information. Hugely educational and great fun, you won't find a better tour guide out there.
My husband and I went on an overland trip to Kenya, Uganda and Rwanda with Dream it Do It East Africa Safaris. It was an amazing experience. Kip was a fabulous tour leader and was supported by a great team. I had very high expectations before the trip and these were exceeded. Animal wise we saw everything we wanted to and more and trekking to see the mountain gorillas was a truly memorable experience. I would not have any hesitation in recommending this company as I could not fault anything.
Kips is a wonderful guide. He is kind, hard-working, trustworthy, accommodating, and knowledgeable. He knows the area well and knows how to make things happen. He listens to his customers and likes to cater to their needs and interests.

Day 2: Nairobi to Loita plains
Depart Nairobi and head north-west towards Maasai Mara (approximately 4 hours), arriving in time for lunch. The Loita Hills are one of Kenya's last remaining true wilderness areas. The low-lying mountain range is located south of Nairobi and northeast of the Maasai Mara. This area is rarely visited and as a result it is widely believed that the most traditional Maasai culture exists here. There are pockets of remote forests, wide open plains surrounded by the stunning hillsides and dotted with roaming wildlife. This isn't an area for viewing big game but more somewhere to enjoy the scenery, walk with the local Maasai and learn more about their culture and communities.
