点评:We prebooked our safari with Andrew almost 2 years in advance. His communication via facebook and posting in a safari group was great, answering any questions we had. Safari itself and what we saw was amazing!! Upon arriving in Nairobi our driver from was there with Andrew to greet us and drive us to the hotel. Lodging was mostly good with the exception of a few issues like AA Amboselli lodge (burn that down)! There is no ac at any lodging, usually a fan. Mosquito netting and bug repellent at all which was a bonus. Always bottles of water for drinking and brushing teeth. Very rough terrain to get to the lodging once you got into the parks and reserves. Not good for elderly people or those with bad necks/backs/hips/knees or anyone who gets motion sickness. Power goes out everyday to reserve power at some like Samburu lodge. Which is fine when on game drives but not when you arrive 3 hours late with dead cell battery it sucks. There was no downtime built in and we had a very rushed Itinerary that we barely followed. Too many stops at curio shops where everyone sells the exact same thing. The logistics of tour was very disorganized with a lack of communication between the tour guides and driver. Someone was late every day, itineraries changed. Some things we didn't get to see like Masika Waterfall. Noone has any concept of driving times. We were told it was a 3-4 hr drive to each location and we would arrive by lunch before heading out for evening game drives at 4pm. Most days the trip took 5-6 hours and we arrived so late for lunch, closer to 230/3pm that we almost missed it and had to rush to eat, check in to our rooms and get ready to turn around and head right back out for 4pm game drive. We stayed at 9 dif places in 12 nights with the nicest ones being only a 1 night stay with absolutely no time to enjoy the camps. They definitely could have eliminated Samburu, giraffe center and chimpanzees all together in order to spend more time at some of the nicer places to build in more down time and use pool/spas. They were a waste of time. Also everyone was on a different page as to what time we were packing up and leaving in the mornings, and how long we would be traveling from place to place. It was as if no one did their research or used google maps to see how far a drive was from camp to camp, either our US trip planner didn't think to ask or Andrew didn't tell her. Again logistics and communication were terrible but all in all we had a great Safari trip.
翻译:我们几乎提前两年就与安德鲁预订了我们的旅行。他通过 Facebook 进行的交流以及在狩猎小组中的发帖非常棒,回答了我们的任何问题。 Safari 本身和我们所看到的都太棒了!抵达内罗毕后,我们的司机和安德鲁一起迎接我们并开车送我们去酒店。住宿大部分都很好,除了一些问题,比如 AA 安博塞利旅馆(烧掉它)!任何住宿都没有空调,通常有风扇。蚊帐和驱虫剂,这是一个额外的好处。始终备有瓶装水用于饮用和刷牙。进入公园和保护区后,到达住宿的地形非常崎岖。不适合老年人或颈部/背部/臀部/膝盖不好的人或晕车的人。桑布鲁旅馆等一些地方每天都会停电以保留电力。开车去玩游戏时这还好,但如果你迟到了 3 小时,电池没电了,那就糟糕了。没有内置的停机时间,我们的行程非常匆忙,我们几乎没有遵循。太多的古玩店里每个人都卖同样的东西。旅游的后勤工作非常混乱,导游和司机之间缺乏沟通。每天都有人迟到,行程也变了。有些东西我们没有看到,比如马斯卡瀑布。没有人对驾驶时间有任何概念。我们被告知前往每个地点需要 3-4 小时的车程,我们将在午餐时到达,然后在下午 4 点出发参加晚间驾车游猎。大多数时候,行程需要 5-6 小时,我们到午餐时间太晚了,接近下午 230 点/下午 3 点,我们差点错过了,不得不赶紧吃饭,入住我们的房间,准备转身回去。下午 4 点驱车游戏。我们在 12 晚的时间里住了 9 个不同的地方,最好的是只住 1 晚,完全没有时间享受营地。他们绝对可以把桑布鲁、长颈鹿中心和黑猩猩一起消灭掉,以便花更多的时间在一些更好的地方,建立更多的休息时间并使用游泳池/水疗中心。他们是在浪费时间。此外,对于我们早上什么时候收拾行李离开,以及我们从一个地方到另一个地方要花多长时间,每个人都有不同的看法。就好像没有人做过研究或使用谷歌地图来查看从一个营地到另一个营地的车程有多远,要么我们的美国旅行计划者没有想到要问,要么安德鲁没有告诉她。后勤和沟通再次很糟糕,但总而言之,我们度过了一次很棒的野生动物园之旅。
