Kenya
Our opinion
After three trips to Tanzania (and one to Uganda) we decided it was time for another famous African country: Kenya. In our opinion it's very similar to Tanzania but the population is a bit stiffer. But we've found a perfect place: Laikipia Wilderness Camp in the Laikipia County. In 2018 we went back for the Great Grevy's Rally (counting grevy zebras) and we will keep on doing that for the years to come. It's a shame it's only once every two years...
