The best part about going to Kenya has to be going on Safari!  Freddy Muthengi is one recommended tour guide.  Before your trip, Freddy will send details of the various trips he can organize and will arrange to meet with you upon your arrival to finalize the trip and take a deposit.  Freddy is very punctual and is also able to keep in contact by text message, just in case. Freddy is a fair bit cheaper than booking with a hotel, usually. He will likely ask for a 25% deposit at the hotel upon your arrival, and the balance on the morning of the safari.  The drivers are very good and there is 9-seater bus which often times will not be full, offering more comfort.

Other benefits to be enjoyed by booking locally with Freddy is that you don’t have to vacate your room when you’re away on safari and also, very importantly the money you pay goes straight to the local people, rather than to big companies.   He can be contacted at freddysafaris@yahoo.com.
