This was the holiday of a lifetime! We went as a group of 7, 4 adults and 3 teenagers, and we all really enjoyed our 2 weeks there. The journey to the hotel was rough and we saw some sad sights but it only took about 40mins to get there from Mombasaairport. We went on a 1 night safari to Tsarvo East with our travel company, it was well worth it, we saw 4 of the 'Big Five'.
The weather was hot but not to hot, we went at the end of July and were told it was the rainy season, but the weather was good with only 1.5 days of rain, but the locals said we were visiting in between the rainy seaons! The people were lovely and ever so friendly and the food was good, and had a lot of variety. Bites weren't a problem when we were there but a couple of us had to go to the doctors over 2 bad bites(but we were just unlucky there!) The accomidation was good ( we were told it was the best in the area!), it was what Kenya called 5 star but in England I would say the accomidation was a 3-4 star.
We also went to the local village and did a sea walk with 1 of the beach boys named Abdul (he seemed to be the top dog around the beach), this all went fine although we were told by the hotel not to. The hotel do to trips to villages but they tend to be careful of what you see, whereas with the beach boys you see the real side of Kenya. Take some pens, football shirts, balls, shoes or anything to give to the kids or swoop for carvings with, they are so greatful!
