• Our driver / guides take pride in their intimate knowledge of the reserve, its flora and the wildlife that inhabits it. Guides are qualified by the Kenya Professional Safari Guides Association (KPSGA) and hardly ever are they ‘stumped’ by a question put by a guest.

Bird walks:

• These are taken in the nearby ‘bush’ outside the camp every day with the resident naturalist.
