David & Mei L., Singapore (August 2025) -
25 January, 2022We did the 7-day Kenya migration tour with Rasset Adventures last August and it was simply unforgettable. Our guide was incredible - he tracked the wildebeest for days and got us front-row seats to two massive Mara River crossings. The accommodations at Maasai Mara were top-notch, and the community visit was a truly touching experience. A bucket-list trip that exceeded all expectations!
Emma W., Melbourne, Australia (JULY 2025) -
25 August, 2022We travelled with Rasset Adventures in July 2025 for the wildebeest migration and it was honestly one of the best trips of our lives. The Mara River crossing we witnessed was absolutely breathtaking - pure nature at its most raw and powerful. The entire trip was perfectly organized, the guides were phenomenal, and we felt completely safe and well looked after. Highly recommended!
