The story

JAMBO JAMBO everyone, I'm Cristina and I want to tell you about my trip to Kenya together with my adventure friends Laura and Marzia. Our arrival at the Acquarius is not the best and we would like to leave again at once, but it takes just a few hours to settle in before we have to change our minds. The beach boys on the beach are a real torment until you entrust yourself to one of them for the excursions. Everyone tries to sell you something: necklaces, bracelets, even photos are charged for, and even the youngest already have a head for business. We decide to do the excursions with the beach boys, entrusting ourselves to Zucchero, Momo and Tony Manero "FANTASTIC". With them we spent an extraordinary week.

Besides guiding us on the excursions, they spent the whole week with us and other young people we met at the hotel, accompanying us to the disco, to the bars for a drink, but above all they gave us their friendship. It was a trip full of emotions, colours and moments that can't be captured in a photograph but that will remain forever in our hearts: the gazes of the children to whom you would give everything, the simplicity of their days and their smiles that fill the heart. There are no words to tell you everything but.............. just one piece of advice: go to Kenya and for the excursions entrust yourselves to the beach boys, not guides but reliable friends who will take care of you, THANKS to TONY and MOMO.
