Style Style Small Group Tour Small groups are usually defined as between 10 and 24 travelers, often less. If you're the kind of person who enjoys more intimate experiences and personal service this is a good choice. All else being equal you will pay a premium for this style vs a larger group tour.
Private Guided Private tours give you the undivided attention of a guide, and often involve special access to sites and unique experiences not available to larger groups. This is a great option for families, couples, and small friend groups. Expect to pay a bit more for the extra service.
Self Guided Tour A travel company plans your itinerary and arranges all the logistics including lodging, local activities, and transportantion. You have the flexibility of a solo trip while still getting the convience and time savings of expert planning. Get 90% of the benefits of a tour, without a guide.
Group Tour Groups are between 25-60 people, typically ~30-40. Usually there will be many opportunities to split off and enjoy meals and excursions in smaller groups. This is the most economical way to travel, saving up to 40% versus booking the same itinerary yourself.
River Cruise These vessels are smaller than most ocean cruisers, limiting which amenties are available. Passenger counts can vary. One of the biggest advantages of a river cruise is the ability to dock at smaller ports and local villages.
Small Ship Cruise Small ship cruises usually have a max passenger count of 500. The primary purpose of these trips is to spend time off the vessel in local ports (e.g. Mediterranean) or experiencing nature (e.g Galapagos or Antarctica). Cabins can vary from budget to luxury.
Large Ship Cruise This is the "floating city" experience, with multiple ways to enjoy your vacation aboard the ship as much as on land. Ships are multiple floors, provide several activities, culinary, and shopping options. They often make fewer stops and have less time available for shore excursions.
Retreats Similar to a self guided tour but staying in one location only with activities and day outings included as a part of the stay.

It was a great trip, wonderful to see the animals in their natural habitat.
Some long days of driving but well worth it in the end. Erellah was great
leader, pointed things out that we would've never seen without his help.
Wilson, Sam and Esther were great assets to the trip and made it all the more
enjoyable. It was my first trip with Exodus and plan on more.
Seeing all the animals!


He was great and very well informed.


Expect some long days of travel but worth it.

Although we had previously visited Kenya six years ago (on the Gorillas and
Masai Mara trip) we had never seen the wildebeest crossing so I had really
hoped to be lucky this time. Also our former trip had been an excellent
experience so I had no hesitation in booking this trip with the added
Tanzania experience.
We were really lucky and saw the great migration, watching the wildebeest
crossing the River Mara. There was such a dramatic build up to it - first a
small group went to cross and then rushed back when they reached the river
and saw crocodiles. We thought we weren't going to see it. Then further along
the riverbank, a larger group just suddenly started rushing. We sat and
watched for about fifteen minutes as wildebeest were stampeding across the
plains joined by groups of zebra and then waded across the river and up the
other side.


Erellah was an excellent group leader and a real credit to Exodus. He split
his time equally amongst all trip members and would turn his hand to whatever
was required be it organising, putting up tents, cooking etc. He was always
bright cheerful and full of energy and worked extremely hard.


There is a lot of packing and unpacking in the first 10 days, organise your
bag for ease of access and bring a padlock for your locker. Pack walking
boots and comfortable sandals. Warm clothes for the Ngorongoro Crater are
essential (I took a light thermal layers including vest, leggings, fleece
top, hat, scarf and gloves) … I was not going to get cold! Having said
that pack light but take a washing line and pegs.


Although expensive I would recommend the Kenyan balloon trip. The pilot was
excellent, the experience beautiful, peaceful and altogether rather surreal.
The breakfast good and with a view that is breathtaking. In the 4 x 4 game
drive which lasted a few hours we saw lion, leopard and cheetah!

Saw all the infamous National parks & so much awesome wildlife, too numerous
to mention.
Great group, relaxing tour pace & even the camping was great!
The way the trip is organised & run by the crew is flawless, I am so
impressed & will definitely have consider this type of trip again.
Seeing the wildebeast crossing the Mara river during the annual migration was
the most awe inspiring thing I have ever seen, made up that we managed to see
this...thanks to the crew !


Erillah was a fantastic tour guide, relentlessly cheerful & knowledgable,
supported by Wilson & Esther - awesome chefs who looked after us so well, &
Sam, the driver, who kept us safe at all times & gave us the best 'African
massage' !!


Take binoculars & pack really light, you really won't need many clothes as
you can easily wash en route.
We all got affected by motion sickness due to the rough roads, so I would
recommend taking travel sickness medication.

This trip was a once in a lifetime trip and the memories we made will last a
lifetime!!
Hot air ballooning over the Masai Mara was incredible and the large numbers
of young animals was simply great to see!!


Our group leader was so knowledgeable and only to happy to answer any and all
questions on the locations and huge variety of animals we saw!


Remember to take something warm for the Ngorongoro crater it got a little
cold that night. Although there are some long drives the views and potential
animal sightings are well worth it. Our drive through the Masai Mara and onto
Lake Victoria was lone but absolutely amazing with Lion, Giraffe, Elephants,
Crocs, Hippo and much more!

We have returned from a tailormade trip to Kicheche Mara Camp in Kenya and
Fumba Beach Lodge in Zanzibar.
I must congratulate Charlie Potter for his organisation and what a great trip
it was.
Kicheche Mara Camp, what a fabulous place. Tents were absolute luxury, better
than some hotels. The staff were ALL excellent, smiley and friendly, they
couldn't do enough for you.
This camp is in the Mara North Conservancy and I strongly believe this is the
way forward for Safaris and camps.
The camp was small, just 8 tents all well spaced out with fabulous views
right amongst nature itself. Wildlife frequently came into camp and you could
hear their calls at night time. In the hours of darkness you were always
escorted to your tents.
Each night someone goes and puts a hot water bottle in your bed whilst you
are dining.
Every morning at 5.30 you are woken with a hot drink and freshly baked
biscuits - each in the shape of an animal, different each day. Then when you
go to the Safari vehicle there is a hot water bottle on your seat - yes this
was needed some mornings.
Each evening before the meal there was a camp fire where you shared details
of your day with others as well as having a drink under the stars. Also
Michael gave us a thought of the day, which was always appreciated.
The food, what can I say it was 5 star, as good as any top hotel, all cooked
on the premises. All the bread, biscuits and cakes were freshly done.
Presentation was always excellent as was the service. Always smiles on the
staff faces and the camp managers - Ray and Tony - always ate with you.
It was great when there was a celebration as all the staff took part and a
cake brought out or even champagne.
Breakfasts were taken on the early morning game drive and again the food was
excellent and it was a good chance to stretch your legs. Back at lunch time
for another excellent meal, then afternoon tea before going out again. Then
sundowners and snacks on the drive. What more could we ask. We certainly
never went hungry.

The game drives were superb, we had Saruni and he was always pointing things
out, spotting animals and birds and finding the necessary game to view. He
was a great friendly guy always smiling and chatting with us. In fact your
game drive starts from the moment you land at the airstrip.

We followed Cheetahs after an Impala, chased across the valley to watch
Hyenas take a Topi down. Gazed at Lionesses with their cubs and prides
playing or sleeping in the sun. Elephants tramping through the river Mara.
You name it we saw it except for the Leopard, but we did try. We did see a
Serval one evening, how Saruni spotted it I don't know as they blend in so
well. Lions in large numbers, giraffe, zebra, plenty of Topi, Jackal to name
a few plus the great variety of birdlife which is fantastic.
There were too many to mention. But arriving by small plane was superb and
then being on the game drive straight away.
Being made welcome as soon as we got to camp and then a welcome card on our
bed as we arrived at the tent. Always made welcome by everybody.
The game drives were fantastic as there weren't lots of vehicles and people
blocking the views, everyone had respect for each other and would wait their
turn. Being able to go off road is also an advantage especially when you want
to follow cheetahs on a kill or any other animal for that matter. This is the
way forward for Safaris, fewer vehicles and more chances of spotting game.
The sunrises and sunsets were out of this world especially the latter when
you were having sundowners. We have been lucky enough to go on quite a few
safaris but this is the best yet and I don't want to go into National Parks
or Reserves again, I want more Conservancies.


We didn't have a group leader as such as were travelling on our own. But
Anthony met us in Nairobi and took us to the hotel, then picked us up in the
morning for our flight. He met us on the way back from Zanzibar, and a good
job too as our luggage had been put on the wrong plane and it took some
sorting out.


For future travellers doing a dual trip I would advise NOT flying to Zanzibar
from Wilson airport, go straight to Jomo Kenyatta, as it makes it easier when
returning home. Also a 4hr wait which is what we had at Wilson is so boring
as there is no lounge, only snacks and a boring place to be. Very
disorganised especially on the International side. I wouldn't recommend
flying Safari Air either. Into the Mara was fine but not going to and from
Zanzibar. There was only 8 people returning to Wilson from Zanzibar and they
managed to put all the luggage on the wrong plane. It was not fun waiting
airside for over 2 hours for our luggage to arrive and then try and rush to
check in for our flight home.


I haven't gone into any detail about the Fumba Beach Lodge on Zanzibar, but
this is a great place to relax after a Safari. The bungalows are in gardens
or sea view which we had and it is so peaceful and quiet. Great staff, great
food and great ambiance. Absolutely loved it there. BUT the highlight was the
Kicheche Mara Camp and Safaris.

Well where to begin in reviewing this trip? I guess at the start and it
certainly is as advertised an adventure, and an adventure you will never
forget. From the very beginning arriving into Nairobi airport everything was
superbly organised and it wasn't long before we met up with our group of
fellow travelers and we're introduced to our exodus team, consisting of our
leader Patrick, our driver David, cook Wilson and helper Jessie, what a great
team they were too so friendly and welcoming to us all.
I don't believe that within the budget of this trip it would be possible to
see so much of East Africa as we managed to see on our holiday. Through
Kenya, onto Tanzania and then ending in Zanzibar, everyday spent marvelling
at what each location has to offer, just as you think things can't get any
better in the Massai mara you're into the Serengeti and even greater sights,
and then to top it all off my personal favourite was a morning in the
ngorrowgorrw crater.
Along the way we were lucky enough to see the big five, a cheetah kill a
hare, countless giraffes, elephants, wilderbeast, hippos, and so many other
animals I can't write them all down.
We slept in camps where you could literally hear the lions and hyenas and
they sounded so close. We woke mornings to find zebras munching grass within
touching distance of our tents, on this trip all this just seems natural, but
when you get home you really think about it and realize how lucky you were to
see it all.
You will sleep in 2 man tents which are a little on the small side but you're
so knackered at night you really don't care so long as you can put your head
down and go to sleep.
There is an awful lot of traveling, there has to be to cram so much into the
trip, the truck is pretty comfortable and there is generally lots to see, but
take a book or 2 as there are a couple of really long days of transiting
destinations.
I would thoroughly recommend this trip, indeed if you're reading this review
you're obviously considering this holiday, I can offer one piece of advice
stop considering right now and book it! I guarantee you won't regret anything
unless you don't do this holiday it was for us the trip of a lifetime. Oh and
last but not least I have to mention the food which we were a little
concerned about before we got there, it was delicious, plenty of variety, and
Wilson's soups were really tasty, don't know how he managed it but great
cooking really enjoyed every meal.
Seeing the Cheetah kill a hare within touching distance was good, as was
waking in the morning to herds of zebras outside your tent, but most
inspirational moment by a mile was in the ngorrowgorrw crater where we were
lucky enough to see 3 brother lions strutting there stuff and being close
enough to see the whites of their eyes.


Patrick was absolutely brilliant, would have been an excellent trip anyway
but for me he made it even more special, great guide with a great sense of
humour too.


Choose a bag which will fit perfectly well into your truck locker as you will
be pulling it out every day bring a book and a decent head torch.
Don't concern yourself with poor toilets or showers you e the rest of your
lives to take a warm shower. Just remember as our guide Patrick used to say
T.I.A......this is Africa. Embrace it for what it is and enjoy yourself.
