We just got back from a Sardius Safari (October 8) in Kenya and had the greatest time. I (probably like you) found Sardius on the internet, compared packages, price, locations and extras) and saw them as the best for us. We checked them out (affiliations, google, references, etc) and decided to go with them (as opposed tho the American group tour companies and other internet listed Kenyan companies) and based on that, we took a chance. Boy were we lucky. The price was right. We asked for changes in the itinery based on our needs and airline dates (we used ff miles). Best of all the two of us had our own driver and safari vehicle. We got all of the lodges/camps we requested, and found it a pleasure to have our own van when we saw others (groups) packed six or seven to a van. Our driver/guide was very experienced and knowledgable, the rooms were good (near the registration/restaurant), and Felix bent over backwards (met us at the airport, bought us bottled water for the whole safari, helped us get a sim card for our phone, etc) so we were completely satisfied and highly recommend Sardius. If you have any questions, just reply to this post and I will answer you if I can.
