点评:We just returned from an 8-day safari in Kenya with Dawn in Africa to celebrate my parents’ 60th anniversary, and what an adventure it was! Planning for 9 family members felt intimidating, but Simon made it manageable by crafting a custom itinerary that hit all the expectations and stayed within our budget.
The trip wouldn't have been the same without our wonderful guides Evans and James. Beyond helping us find lions, elephants, and all the “big five,” they opened up the incredible world of birding— finding over 100 new species for us, from tiny sunbirds to the impressive secretary bird (my personal favorite). Birdwatching from a boat at Lake Naivasha, floating past hippos and crocodiles while spotting kingfishers and watching an African Fish Eagle catch his dinner right next to us, was unforgettable.
The accommodations were just as exceptional. At Mara Olapa Camp, right inside the Maasai Mara park, we felt completely immersed in the wild—falling asleep to the sound of hyenas outside our tent is something we’ll always remember! At Lake Naivasha Sopa Resort, we stood in awe on our balcony as giraffes strolled by, and after dark we spotted hippos grazing on the lawn. The layout of the facility was unique and unlike any other hotel I've ever experienced.
From start to finish, this trip was filled with jaw-dropping moments, laughter, and family memories we’ll treasure forever. Right from the airport pickup to drop-off at the end, Dawn in Africa made sure it was seamless, magical, and more than we could have imagined. Highly recommend them for anyone dreaming of a real safari adventure!
翻译:我们刚刚结束了为期8天的肯尼亚之旅,跟随Dawn in Africa旅行社庆祝我父母结婚60周年,这真是一次难忘的冒险!为9位家庭成员安排行程让人感到有些不知所措,但Simon为我们量身定制了行程,不仅满足了所有预期,还控制在了预算之内,让一切变得轻松自在。
如果没有我们出色的导游Evans和James,这次旅行就不会如此精彩。除了帮助我们找到狮子、大象和所有“非洲五霸”之外,他们还为我们打开了观鸟的奇妙世界——为我们发现了100多个新物种,从体型娇小的太阳鸟到令人印象深刻的蛇鹫(我个人最喜欢的)。在纳瓦沙湖乘船观鸟,与河马和鳄鱼擦肩而过,还能看到翠鸟,甚至还能看到一只非洲鱼鹰在我们旁边捕食,这真是令人难忘的经历。
住宿条件也同样出色。在马赛马拉国家公园内的马拉奥拉帕营地,我们感觉完全沉浸在野外世界——伴着帐篷外鬣狗的叫声入睡,这感觉永生难忘!在纳瓦沙湖索帕度假村,我们站在阳台上,惊叹地看着长颈鹿漫步而过;天黑后,我们又看到河马在草坪上吃草。酒店的布局独具匠心,与我住过的任何其他酒店都截然不同。
从始至终,这次旅行充满了令人惊叹的时刻、欢声笑语和值得我们永远珍藏的家庭回忆。从机场接机到最后的送机,非洲黎明旅行社 (Dawn in Africa) 确保了整个过程的顺畅、神奇,甚至超出了我们的想象。强烈推荐给所有梦想体验真正野生动物探险的人!
