Travelled on the Thorn Tree safari with a beach stay at the Cove luxury Tree houses. I just wanted to drop you an email with a big thank you for the outstanding help & advice I got from both Gemma and Leanne whilst arranging my honeymoon to Kenya. As with any holiday booking, we did have other companies we could have arranged this special holiday with and indeed I did speak to them; but it was solely due to the fantastic help I received from Gemma & how her help and advice shone above other companies I spoke to that I chose to book through Free2.co.uk (luxury-safaris)! Then whilst on vacation the assistance I received from Leanne was fantastic and this made sure everything went like a dream & we had the most amazing holiday ever! Both their professionalism, dedication, knowledge and outstanding support from the initial call I made to our return have to be highly commended and is deeply appreciated by myself. Many thanks & I look forward to arranging my future holidays with Luxury-Safaris & recommending your company to others.
Stayed at Billila Game Lodge and Mapenzi beach Dear Vicky While I am sending you this email I would like to express our thanks to you personally for all your help in arranging our last holiday. When I first contacted you at Luxury Safaris, I was impressed with your quick response. You went on to arrange our choice of both the Game Lodge in Tanzania and nights in Zanzibar at a particular resort, that other companies seemed unable to offer. And I know it wasn't easy! But on every occasion you found the information I needed and quickly answered any queries I had. Your efficiency and pleasant manner was very much appreciated. We had a fantastic holiday. Your attention to detail ensured that each time we arrived at an airport, someone was there to meet us and transport us onwards. We had a wonderful 'guide' at Billila Game Lodge and enjoyed every minute viewing the animals. Mushi was there to greet us and was on hand at all times. We were spoilt rotten and didn't want to come home! Even our last night was just perfect. Your choice of overnight stay in Dar es Salam before our early flight home couldn't have been better. Actually we both said we could have spent another week there! Thanks again Vicky - you're a star - which is why I'm emailing you again for help in arranging our next holiday!!! Kind regards Sandra Venables
