An unforgettable adventure in Kenya! Our family trip to Kenya, planned by Ananta & Beyond, was nothing short of unforgettable. Travelling with my wife, daughter and son, we were lucky to spot all of (Read More)the Big 5—each sighting more breathtaking than the last. Our driver was so friendly and knowledgeable, making every game drive enjoyable. We encountered an issue with our vehicle, the Ananta team resolved it in time ensuring our holiday continued without a hitch. The absolute highlight of our journey was the hot air balloon ride over the Masai Mara—floating over vast plains dotted with wildlife at sunrise truly felt like a once-in-a-lifetime moment. In all, we had a beautiful, memorable Kenyan Safari experience for our family - well deserved and long awaited!
