One of the best experiences around. Takes about 14 hrs but very comfortable, with dinner and a bar.
The greatest act of bravery is chancing a fart while suffering from diarrhoea

A trip to mombasa is nice if you are a group of many people.

Transversing the tsavo in a train is quite an experience though

Better take a car / bus if you are with your family

Planning a similar thing. Would also appreciate objective reviews
When I admire the wonder of a sunset or the beauty
of the moon, my soul expands in worship of the Creator.

Have done it twice. Awesome experience. But it highly depends on your sense of adventure. If you're one of those people who can't even go camping then you might not enjoy it. Anyway book 1st class (last time we went it was 2,600/-) and make sure you have someone to cuddle.

BBI will solve it
