Kenya Tour Review: Wildlife, Walking Safari, Rock Climbing, 10 Nights

The Zicasso travel company was a pleasure to work with and their attention to every detail was much appreciated. Communication from our agents was open and clear. Their experience and insights were invaluable to making our safari an amazing experience. 

Our trip included stops at three camps, each with a unique and different perspective. The accommodations, food, and service at these camps were outstanding and tailored to us. The guides for the game drives were all exceptional, with deep knowledge about the animals and plants. They went above and beyond to ensure we saw the complete variety of animals and were able to capture amazing photos. This trip was truly an epic adventure and exceeded our expectations.
