Sample reviews for the layout. They will be replaced by real reviews from BESSALOV travellers before launch.

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.

Worth every step up the hill

The trek was steep and muddy, exactly as they warned us, and the porters made it possible. They secured our permits months ahead, so there were no surprises at all.
