Benny gave my son and I the true representation of all things great with Kenya. Benny is very hands on when it comes to helping us navigate a new environment; very hospitable, friendly and super honest. He is very able to help with the tourist side of affairs and or if you just want to experience the people, culture and food and anything in between, while ensuring your safety throughout by checking in on you adequately. With Benny, it’s a home away from home. We will definitely choose Benny for our next visit and can’t wait to see him again. Benny milele .
Host reply
Before their arrive I was so nervous it took me a whole week to prepare myself physically and psychological then came the day of arrival and things started moving smoothly from the time of arrival at the airport to the arrival at home. On arrival it was raining they checked into their room l went straight to the kitchen to make coffee when they came back to coffee was ready we drank coffee while we exchanged experiences and after going to bed, the following day thing started moving naturally one would have thought we new each other for years we would crack jokes eat together take motorcycle rides and we kept being together untill the last day of their stay above all I would like to say that I had a wonderful experience and I'm looking forward to hosting more clients in my home.
