Tony Cruize tour best in Africa. - did 2 days of tours and was lucky to go with Tony Cruize , must be the best tour guide in Kenya , found all Animals and was very entertaining , Had his guitar with him and sung when we had lunch in an amazing lodge overlooking the park , hope he gets his break with the singing .He even made up a song for my daughter about graduating at university . Great tour company and very good value for money.

Great flamingo lake - The place is really worth seeing. The driver was fine, however, he was a driver, not a guide. He was helpful and punctual. The car in good condition so everything was ok. One thing to Viator, you could write that the trip will take 9 hours. One way drive is at least 4,5 hours, so two ways are 9 hours plus flamingos and if you like to see hot springs another 3 hours. So you need at least 13-14 hours (sometimes for lunch or rest). It could be a real problem like in our case. We had an evening flight and we had to be back at 7 pm, thinking 9 hours from 6 am - no problem. It was a problem, we could see hot springs.
