Hi Muli

Hope you are doing well, please find our comments as below to see if it's okay

- we hope to add 1 night in Narobi nearby the airport on Sep 27th when we arrive 
- we would like to spend 2 nights in Mara and 2 nights in Serengeti North and 1nights in Serengeti Central.
- For Mara Accommodation, as we heard that Mara Bush Camp doesn's have night safari. so we would like to change to Kilima Camp Masai Mara. For 2 nights in Serengeti North, as we want to increase the possibility to see the river-crsossing, we would like to choose Nyikani Migration Kogatende. For 1 nights in Serengeti Central, we would like to choose Nyota Luxury Camp
- We also want to add the balloon safari in secend day in Serengeti, Could you please help book?
