As a party of fifteen, I can honestly say that Red Rhino surpassed
all of our expectations. Every effort was made to accommodate
our requests from the
planning stage to the actual safari, taking into consideration our finances
and varied interests. I have no hesitation in highly recommending
Red Rhino to
anyone interested in an unforgettable travel experience.

Great Adventure! That is the only way to describe my experience
in Africa with Red Rhino Tours. From the start to the finish,
this group was superb. I had the most fun of all trips I
have ever had. I have been from Alaska to Viet Nam and without
reservation I can say this topped all my experiences. The
guides were knowledgeable, the support great and the people
superb. At one park I damaged one of my lenses and Red Rhino's
people bent over backwards to help me find what I needed
to fix the lens. I could not more highly recommend this outfit.

"Red Rhino arranged 2 wonderful
safaris for us in 2001. They catered to our tight schedules,
individual interests, and limited budgets with grace and
cordiality. Red Rhino showed us urban and rural life without
risking our physical or gastrointestinal safety, and recruited
a charming ornithological expert from the National Museum
to guide us. Sure, we saw the Big 5 and got plenty of pictures,
but we also marveled at our cook's wicked wit and market
savvy, shared political discussions with our driver and visited
his daughter's hotely, and argued about bird species identification
in sign language with Masai herders. Red Rhino gave us a
terrific experience."

" I traveled to Kenya with Red Rhino twice (in 2001 & 2002)
and everything was incredibly smooth. They were able to cater
to my specific camp requests to fit my budget and all hotel/airport
transfers were right on time. The wildlife was amazing and
the camps were very comfortable... I've never had so many
excellent meals in one trip before. Greg, Tony & Joseph
are all great guys to work with and I would definitely use
them again if I ever get back to Kenya!"

" I went on a three week safari excursion with Red
Rhino. I've done numerous trips around the world and can
tell you honestly that this was the best trip of my life.
Red Rhino did an excellent job of taking care of us in all
facets. I am sure you and your group would enjoy the experience
as much as we did."

"From the first contact I had with Red Rhino, they
were extremely helpful and swift in providing detailed information
and helping to design a safari in Kenya which matched our
requirements. Despite living in Europe and organizing everything
through e-mail, I never felt anxious about the arrangements
as Red Rhino seemed very capable and listened to what we
wanted. While on the safari itself, we were well looked after
and everything went very smoothly. The transport, food and
accommodation were very good. Any last minute alterations
we needed to make while in Kenya, such as changing hotel
in Nairobi for the final night, were no trouble. Our group
found all the Red Rhino staff in Kenya to be courteous, conscientious
and welcoming and I would not hesitate to recommend Red Rhino
Tours to our friends - in fact we have already done so!"

" The diversity was great. We met people, explored
the cities and villages; had up-close encounters with animals.
...We experienced so much we could go on and on..."

" Words cannot describe how Africa makes you feel
inside. I can’t even begin to express what an amazing
trip it was. It was a once in a lifetime experience and nothing
I can say begins to do it justice."

" For me, the trip was everything I hoped it would
be. The richly connected friendships that developed within
our tour group are of great value to me. I loved that there
was a plan for each day and that we could alter those plans
(within reason) to be able to do all we wanted to do in Africa.
Also, the tour leaders were very helpful, approachable, and
tireless while we were on tour. I was grateful for the effort
and genuine desire on the part of Red Rhino to meet my goals
for the trip."
Julie Pfeiffer Artist
Cincinnati, Ohio
"I enjoyed the variety and flexibility that the tour
provided. The tour leader was able to change the itinerary
to meet our needs, such as when we visited a Masai school
and village that were not part of the itinerary. The trip
allowed for a variety of experiences including camping, traveling
to the coast, and experiencing the African culture. Also,
Greg was very patient and helpful in answering all of my
questions prior to the trip."

Red Rhino Tours and, in particular, Greg Traverso, were
recommended to us by an acquaintance who had not been able
to use their services but who had had numerous conversations
with Greg that left him very impressed. From the day we first
contacted Greg to discuss his operation and to discuss safaris
in general and specific terms with him, to the day we left
for our safari with Red Rhino, we were extremely impressed
with his knowledge, his commitment, and his willingness to
do everything possible to make sure that our adventure was
the safest and most pleasant and memorable experience possible.
Red Rhino was very flexible and accommodating, very prompt
in responding to our inquiries, and Greg kept in constant
contact with his partners in Africa to make sure everything
was going well while we were on safari. He even arranged
a slight modification of our accommodations in order to take
advantage of a change in the amount of game in the area we
were going to be visiting. And Red Rhino's partners and employees
who are based in Africa were very nice, knowledgeable, and
took very good care of us. It was important that they made
us feel safe and comfortable in a very foreign country! Greg
Traverso even contacted us immediately upon our return to
make sure our trip had been everything we had expected it
to be. We received First-Class treatment from First-Class
people and a Five-Star tour operator! We highly recommend
their services to everyone!

The RedRhino tour that I participated in last summer was
excellent in all respects. It was an experience of a lifetime,
and I'm so glad that I participated in the program with Greg
Traverso. I've often described him as "the nicest person
in the world". Beyond that he is sensitive, thoughtful,
intelligent, thorough, well organized, flexible and lots
of fun! Greg has high expectations of the people he hires
to work with him, and they all live up to those standards.
We had many opportunities to interact with native Africans-an
activity which I sought and welcomed. I have a great deal
of independent travel experience and have traveled with small
groups as well. I highly recommend Red Rhino and would not
hesitate to travel again with them. The trip was an outstanding
value for the cost and for the experiences it offered.
