Customer Review: Great Tent
This tent has windows that actually zip up! I hate those tents that just have a screen with the fly over it. Be cautious when purchasing a tent if this matters to you. I bought one of those and returned it because there is no way you could stay warm if it got cold. This is a great one-person tent and probably fine for two. Don't even think about 4 people if you have airbeds! I have a double-high twin airbed and there was enough room to put the camping box by my bed to use as a table and a place for my clothes in the corner. I loved it. It was very cozy. I would highly recommend this. We did not have bad weather but Eureka! tents usually hold up well to the elements.
Customer Review: Perfect size for two childrens and 2 adults.
Is a great product, good brand, good quality, very easy to build up. The size is very good for two kids and 2 adults, I belive that 4 adults fits very very thight. Have a lot of bags to keep small things but need extra space for the backpacks, and shoes.


There is nothing more exciting than seeing a herd of elephants wandering past your camp whilst youre sitting down having dinner with the biggest sunset you have ever seen in the background. A safari holiday in Kenya is truly amazing. The weather is gorgeous, the sites are beautiful and the wildlife of course is amazing.

The beaches are a great place to un-wind after your 5 days safari; of course you can go for longer or shorter than that. After flying to the reserve in a tiny plane (Masai Mara being the most popular) you get driven to your camp by jeep and if youre lucky will see your first bit of wildlife. This alone will have you wanting more. Your camp will probably consist of tents (but not your average camping tent) built on brick foundations, a restaurant, and bar, all with stunning views over the plains.

You usually go out on three safaris a day, one before breakfast, one before lunch and one mid-afternoon. The guides are usually friendly and informative and they all no exactly where to go and at what time. The big five (as there known) animals to see are lion, rhino, elephant, leopard and buffalo. But of course there are tones more.

The best time to visit Kenya is around October time. The migration season will have you see thousands of wilder beasts crossing the plains to find food. If your very lucky you will see them trying to cross the rivers (full of crocodiles of course) to get to greener pastures. Another great experience is the balloon ride at dawn. Flying just before sunrise so you can get the best views of the plains.

The food at the camps is usually full of culture and you a will probably get to witness a bit of local music, making the evenings as enjoyable as the day. You may also get to go to a local Masai tribes camp and see the local culture at its best. It really is an eye opening experience.

All in all a safari holiday in Kenya is one of the most enjoyable things I have ever done and should definitely be on your things to do before you die list.
