Travelled on The Great Migration African Safari Holidays itinerary Dear Leanne, we are just dropping you a line to let you know that we had the most wonderful time and the holiday was fantastic. We had a guide all to ourselves the whole time , who was absolutely marvellous and very knowledgeable. The lodges were wonderful and the service was excellent. The Kirawira Tented Camp was out of this world, very luxurious. My only gripe was that our small aircraft flight from the Mara was at 11.00am and our flight home was 11.45pm and we were concerned what we would do with 12 hrs in Nairobi airport. However we were met at the airport and taken to Somack house in the centre of Nairobi, given lunch and the use of washrooms and offered excursions that we could take to fill the time till we flew. We opted to explore the city and they dropped us off and collected us later on at no extra cost which was great. We saw loads, far more than we expected. We even saw the migration of wilderbeast, thousands upon thousands ran right past us it was the most amazing experience. Again thank you for all your help and it was a fantastic trip.
Travelled on The Great Migration African Safari I would just like to thank you for the wonderful safari holiday you put together for us at short notice. Everything went like clockwork, people were always there to meet us and the service was excellent. Every day on the holiday was a red letter day. All the lodges and tented camps were superb. The quality of the 2 drivers we had Vincent and Zadoch were unbelievable. They had local knowledge, were very helpful and courteous. There was not one thing I would have changed or thought that could be improved upon. The holiday far exceeded our expectations.
