COMMENTS FROM PAST CLIENTS
Jambo Daniel,
We are slowly getting back into the swing of
things... can't believe it's been a while
since we visited... both of us were quite
sick initially on our return and are finally
finding our feet again. John is still busy
editing all the tapes from the trip, never
having done something like this before it is
taking him some time.
Wondered if I had written to thank you and
your team at all? If I didn't please forgive
me for this oversight, better late than
never.
Thank you and your team so very much for
your attention to detail, for your advice,
knowledge and your prompt replies. For cyber
holding our hands while planning our
itinerary and for assuring our
uncertainties. All this resulted in us
having an amazing holiday. Thank you Daniel,
we will always remember our visit to Kenya
and Tanzania. we hope that your hard work
and effort proved fruitful and that your
company grows... but not so much, that you
lose the personal touch that you now
possess. This truly sets you apart from
others and we wish you much success. Asante
sana.

Daniel,
It’s now a couple of days since we returned
from our African safari experience. Everyone
at work is punishing me with lots of work
(very busy) having been away for a week to
Kenya. I guess they are envious for such a
wonderful and successful 7 day Kenya safari.
Just to let you know, we must thank you for
arranging for us such a great trip, we
refresh on our experience daily having being
our first trip in Africa. Our tour was
excellent, and everything was handled very
professionally. Godfrey, our guide, did an
exceptional job helping us have the best
game viewing and shots. He is a real
professional and must be African Sermon
Safaris asset that you cannot afford to
lose.
You really differentiate yourselves by
giving attention to detail, personal service
and discretionary effort. We are considering
saving some money for our next trip with
you, hopefully in a couple of months. Just
keep us updated and we will surely recommend
you to everyone we know.

''The tour was well planned and worth beyond
the money spent. I would definitely go with
your company again! Everything was beyond
our expectations – game viewing, service,
accommodations and hospitality. Thanks for a
very well organized safari!''

Daniel,
I'm sorry it's taken me so long to send you
this message, but since having returned from
Kenya and Uganda, my office has been very
busy – I guess they are either punishing me
for having gone away or they just missed me
a lot -- I haven't decided which yet!
I wanted to send a note of thanks to you and
Godfrey -- I had the most exciting and
amazing time on the three days I spent with
African Sermon Safaris. I never imagined
that I would be able to spend time at Masai
Mara and be so close to the wildlife, until
this point, I have only seen in zoos or on
TV. There was just something about Kenya --
I couldn't stop looking outside and just
wanted to continue to look out across the
Rift Valley, through the brush, at the Masai
camps, everything!
You and Godfrey took such exceptional care
of me and I truly thank you both for making
this the most wonderful adventure. I am sure
Godfrey mentioned to you that we had a minor
breakdown on the way back to Nairobi, but
even that was the most special of moments
for me. While waiting for him to get the van
fixed, I was able to have a nice long chat
with some of the people local to the area
and we shared stories about where I lived,
politics, religion, etc. I even parted with
some books and magazines that were of
interest to them.
Again, thank you -- I promised to send some
pictures that you may be able to use in
promoting your business and I will put them
in the mail tomorrow. I've just been
reviewing them and there are some really
good shots (even if I am complimenting
myself!).
I also wanted to let you know that the camp
(Ilkeliani Camp) you set up for me was just
amazing. The staff and the tents were all
top-notch and quite luxurious. I was
impressed with the fact that they don't use
generators and operate on solar power --
also, the tent sites were spectacular and I
just missed seeing a hippo run down into the
water in the morning. I highly recommend you
use this camp again in the future.
I'll be recommending you to anybody I know
that is headed to Kenya for a safari -- you
can be sure, if I ever have the opportunity
to come back, I will be contacting you and
Godfrey!
Thank you again,
John Wildgrube

We really had a marvelous time in Kenya,
precisely Masai Mara, Lake Nakuru, Samburu,
Mount Kenya and Amboseli. All the way from
arrival to our departure, we felt like we
were with our old friends - truly hospitable
people. I have told everyone about this
safari. The food was great, the
accommodations terrific and the sights
amazing. Above all, we enjoyed

''The trip surpassed our expectations. It
was far beyond our past safari with another
tour operator in Kenya way back in 2003.
Thank you for the exceptional service and
professional safari arrangement''

Daniel,
I would like to tell you, that the 5 of us
from Denmark had a very big experience in
visiting Kenya and trekking on Mount Kenya.
As told we all had a great experience. For
some of us it was probably the biggest in
our lives. In fact we all dream about
returning soon, and most of us would like to
climb the mountain again. But we would also
like to have some time to see more wild
animals. Of course, it was our own decision
from the beginning.
Everything was perfect. It was a very big
gesture of you to wait for so many hours in
the Airport. Asante again. Everything and
everyone was very precise. And any delays
was only made because of us. Everybody in
the crew at the mountain was very
professional. The food was outstanding
considering the circumstances. And it was
made to prevent bad stomachs. People were
kind, laughing and we all felt as friends.
It was very nice too.
The young man Bo was sick on the morning
when we left Nairobi, and Godfrey was
concerned about him. But he got better while
he was sleeping during most of the flight.
Astrid was not afraid of flying back. I saw
half of Africa through the window in the
plane. It was great too.
Please give my regards and say Asante to
all, you meet. Godfrey, Robin, Joseph and
the porters.
If you have the address of Robin, we would
send a letter of thanks to him.
I will send a small article to the biggest
Danish Sunday newspaper to tell about our
journey,
Thank you,
Erik Jensen

Masai
Mara - Serengeti wildebeest migration:
Wildebeest migration to and back from Serengeti into
the Maasai Mara is the single most popular wildlife
spectacle in Kenya. The wildebeest migration is such
a phenomenon it involves movement of over 1 million
animals crossing plains and rivers in the Mara
migration. River crossings are the most spectacular
where the wildebeest of
Mara jump into rivers full of crocodiles and surging
currents. The wildebeest is feted as the clown of
the Savannah. Also known as a gnu, the animal has a
structure resembling a young horse with a heavily
built frontal shoulders and chest and a slender
posterior. Its legs are so slender it’s intriguing
how it supports the proportionately larger body
frame. The ‘clown’ title results from its unusual
behavior considered to other bovids, for example a
gnu herd will usually scatter in different
directions when attacked by a lion.

Lamu Town began life as a 14th century Swahili
settlement. But the island has seen many
visitors and influences, including Portuguese
explorers, Turkish traders and the Omani Arabs.
Despite all these influences, Lamu developed its
own particular culture which has ultimately
endured. The island is a beautiful place of
rolling dunes and endless beaches, where tiny
villages nestle among coconut and mango
plantations and lateen sailed dhows ply the
waters. Dense mangrove forests fringe the
mainland and the inland sides of the island. The
beach on Lamu Island is 12km of empty sands
backing on to an ocean protected by a reef...Read

Mount Kenya: Mount Kenya National Park
Mount Kenya plays a crucial role in the life of
the country being Kenya's single most important
permanent watershed and her largest forest
reserve. The fertile soils of its lower slopes
also sustain the growth of the nation's richest
farmlands whilst much of its vegetation is
globally unique. In recent years, however, the
Mountain has suffered greatly from the adverse
effects of deforestation, resulting in large
tracts of its lower slopes being entirely
denuded of trees and occupied by squatters. And,
although much of the vast forest cover remains
intact, the growing demand for timber (Kenya's
staple construction and fuel source) threatens
to lead to even more serious deforestation and
subsequent soil erosion. ....Read

Shaba National Reserve
It is impossible to talk about the Shaba National
Reserve without mentioning Samburu National Reserve,
and Buffalo Springs National Reserve, because they
are all intertwined, and they form a trio of unusual
and attractive game sanctuaries, and all neighbours.
Shaba is a relatively small National Park being a
little over 239 sq. kms, and it is only 70 kms north
of Mount Kenya, at an altitude varying between
700-1500metres.
Visitors go to Parks to see wildlife, and the Shaba
Game is outstanding. You have a very good chance of
seeing Giraffe, Cheetah, leopard, and lion. You can
add to this gazelle, oryx, zebra, and Gerenuk, but
of course it is the predators that are most sought
after....Read more..
