Hello Carlye Wooow!!!! these are such wonderful words and a great review.We really appreciate you taking your time to write to us .This is thanks to your cooperation and a job well done by Victor who was very intelligent who also ensured to take you to a souvenir shop which was genuine and a to stop at the Bush gardens for a nice lunch .Sorry though about the pricing for lunch but i bet you really enjoyed .Mostly the gift shops normally have hand made products with a theme of kenyan traditions that"s why you can find them same with others.Regardless we are really sorry for what transpired the next morning we hope the other company sorted it for you .Otherwise we do hope another tour sends you back to us . Asante Sana !!!!!!
