We came to Kenya for our honeymoon and organized our 4 day private safari trip with Andy, leaving from Nairobi and stopping at Lake Nakuru, followed by Masai Mara and back to Nairobi. We were throughly satisfied with our experience and would highly recommend Andy who went out of his way to tailor the trip to our preferences including letting.
