"At the first stay the family enjoyed the gorgeous grounds and swimming pool. The warm and knowledgeable presence of Kennedy Omwenga, our Micato Safari director, vastly improved every aspect of the journey: he was a Maasai elder in his home village, and as the family's highly credentialed guide made sure safari logistics — check-in at lodges and camps; itineraries of each day’s activities; and luggage transportation — were seamless. Omwenga also brought his deeply rooted understanding of Kenyan wildlife and culture everywhere the family went, and he formed such a special bond with the author's sons that by the end of the trip they were calling him rafiki, or friend, in Swahili." - Emily Baldwin
