点评:We went as a family of 4 (2 boys aged 11 and 13) to El Karama and it was truly a magical experience. My boys are now begging me to start planning another trip! We were lucky to be looked after by Abdi and Joseph as our guides. Abdi’s deep familiarity with every part of the conservancy and his expert driving combined with Joseph’s encyclopaedic knowledge of all the species of wildlife was a fantastic combination and made for a really memorable trip. They went out of their way to make sure we saw as many different animals as possible, including a couple of night drives where we saw hippos, hyenas, lions and bush babies. Abdi also kindly took my 13 year old out for his first ever driving lesson - he had so much fun! The meals at El Karama are amazing - all locally sourced food, much of it grown / reared at El Karama itself. We were taken care of at mealtimes by Lamek who also taught the boys Swahili and educated us about local culture and customs.
The lodge itself is beautiful, and has been planned and thought out so well. We stayed in two of the bandas, it felt very private both when in the lodge itself and when on safari. The staff make it special - there are so many thoughtful touches, such as the hot water bottles at night and the bush breakfast which was a lovely surprise!
I would recommend El Karama to anyone looking to create lifetime memories: we will be back if we can!
翻译:我们一家四口(两个男孩,一个 11 岁,一个 13 岁)去了埃尔卡拉马,这真是一次神奇的经历。我的儿子们现在恳求我开始计划另一次旅行!我们很幸运能得到 Abdi 和 Joseph 的导游照顾。Abdi 对保护区的每个部分都非常熟悉,他的驾驶技术娴熟,再加上 Joseph 对所有野生动物物种的百科全书知识,这是一个绝妙的组合,让我们度过了一次真正难忘的旅行。他们不遗余力地确保我们看到尽可能多的不同动物,包括几次夜间驾车,我们看到了河马、鬣狗、狮子和婴猴。Abdi 还好心地带我 13 岁的儿子出去上他的第一堂驾驶课——他玩得很开心!埃尔卡拉马的饭菜很棒——所有食物都是当地出产的,大部分都是在埃尔卡拉马种植/饲养的。吃饭时,Lamek 照顾我们,他还教孩子们斯瓦希里语,并向我们介绍当地的文化和习俗。
小屋本身很漂亮,经过精心规划和考虑。我们住在两个小屋里,无论是在小屋里还是在游猎期间,都感觉非常私密。工作人员让这里变得特别——有很多贴心的举动,比如晚上的热水瓶和丛林早餐,这是一个可爱的惊喜!
我会向任何想要创造终生回忆的人推荐 El Karama:如果可以,我们会回来的!
