TRAVEL WITH DEO SAFARIS

Verified Fantastisk We went on a two-day safari. On the first day, we were in the national park and had an excellent guided tour by Am Abdallah and Muhidini. They were very knowledgeable, explained things well, and drove in a way that allowed us to see the animals up close. On the second day, we visited the Maasai people, where we received a very good introduction and learned about how they live. After that, we went on a boat safari, which was perfect for seeing the hippos up close. All in all, this was an amazing experience with excellent service.Posted on Tripadvisor Miriam SVerified An amazing two-day safari experience Thank you Abdullah for showing us around the national park and caring about us for almost full two days! Your knowledge about this and other places is fantastic and answers to our many questions are highly appreciated.
