I was very lucky to have the driver; he got very close to the animals. We saw a lot of lions with babies, a cheetah. Masai Mara is a gorgeous park. This is my second time and I want more. There were 7 people in the car, but it was comfortable, no one bothered anyone. There wasn't enough time on Lake Naivasha, a walking safari on Crescent Island. Accommodation in lodges is all great. One was a little scared, but she was greeted at the airport and there was no need to worry about anything else. I definitely recommend that I go again.
