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 Out Of Africa Safari with a stay at The Cove Luxury Tree Houses. We had an amazing time on honeymoon, all the places were fantastic, we seemed to have each place we stayed to ourselves, it was perfect. Ol Seki is an incredible place, we have breakfast and lunch looking over wonderful views and had dinner on our balcony each night. The Treehouses were even better, 10 metres away from the beach, the staff were really attentive and the food, drink, and weather was perfect. We saw everything we wanted to on the safari except a leopard but I suppose we'll have to go back to find one!!! Thank you so much for organising the trip for us, there were no problems and in your words it was an 'amazing itinterary', we can't thank you enough. All the best, and when we go for the Gorilla Trekking we'll let you know.
