Oops, accidentally posted this in the wrong place!

Hi all

We are trying to choose between these 2 operators and cant seem to find any reviews on either - has anyone used either one or heard anything about them? With over 500 operators in Kenya it can be difficult to sift through them all!

And we are aware that neither are KATO recommended, but aparently only 40% of places are

Many thanks

Mark

Hello,
There is a reason why you find so many tour operators, and very few of them are Kato registered. This is because over three quarters of these are nothing but "One-Man-And-His-Dog" outfits trying to operate from a dark six-foot by six-foot office located in some seedy buildings in the Dodgy parts of downtown Nairobi.

I would give these a very wide berth, as they are all full of empty promises....

Unless, of course you love taking risks - in which case who knows? It may just pay off...

Regards,

Mwenyeji
