I've used them twice over the last few years. They are okay. (Small outfit, reasonably priced - and most importantly - they keep their promises!)

hi heleen,

were an aussie couple looking to do a similar itenerary we'll be arriving in Tiwi, mombasa on the 29th Dec and would be looking to
go on a weeks camping safari to the same parks departing on the 2nd of January, however our flights are leaving from mombasa so ideally we would like to end up back in mombasa, also what vehicle do they use i think we'd prefer a 4WD rather than a minibus, obviously depending on the amount of people.
The price of $850 sounds quite resonable if that is all inclusive, anyway obviously we have a few questions, so we'll look for youre reply in the next few days as we're flying out this evening.

cheers! Aaron & Gorgena

Hi Aussies,
We'll be in Mombasa too as from the 29th afternoon, we're leaving Kisumu tomorrow morning.
We haven't made a final deal yet with any operator, but hope to sort things out in Mombasa; Beaverline and Julius are both sending us an offer, that appears to be much more expensive (around 1100 for a 5-day to Tsavo/Amboseli just the 2ofus), probably because of high peak season, and then they don't seem keen on letting us do the campings. It might go down when we're 4.
We actually hope to leave earlier than you, preferably on the 30th or 31st, but give us a call /txt when you're in Mombasa: 0711550069, our Kenya nr (or send me a mail, don't know yet whether we well be able to check mail! at heleen59@hotmail.com). Have a good trip!

Gday Kontvleesjes!
Just a quick message to say that we're back in home towns Groningen (M) and Leeuwarden (H).
We had a wonderful time with you, once again: I've appreciated your positive lifestyle so much! (though I could hardly keep up the pace of all those twentysome years old...) Mombasa was an exciting and hot shopping day: Gorgina would have bought tons of fabrics (we did, they were irresistable and very cheap too!)
Nice to feel the cold, nice to feel the rain and to eat old cheese! And I'm happy to have one day to recover a bit (oh boy am I exhausted.)

I'm looking forward to your pics!
Love from Holland,
