Reviews
What travellers say
Sample reviews for the layout. They will be replaced by real reviews from BESSALOV travellers before launch.
The perfect end to our safari
After a week in the bush, five days at Diani were exactly right. The dhow trip to Wasini and the dolphins were the highlight.
Great guide, bumpy roads
The camp at the Mara was excellent and we saw a leopard on the second morning. The drive from Nakuru is long and rough, so plan for a tiring day, but the quotation told us that up front.
Gorillas one week, lions the next
Ten days and not one thing we had to sort out ourselves. Our driver-guide knew every lodge manager by name, and the hour with the gorilla family in Bwindi is something we will talk about for the rest of our lives.
