Kenya Royal Safari
Pinewood Village followed by The Kili itinerary. Hope all is well with you. You recently helped me to arrange a beach & safari holiday to Kenya, which my wife and I thoroughly enjoyed. Being our first visit we were unsure exactly what to expect but it exceeded all our expectations! We had a marvellous adventure and are very grateful to you for all your help and assistance. I would particularly like to thank you for suggesting a change of hotel in Mombasa - you recommended the Pinewood Village Beach Resort (instead of one previously advised) which proved to be marvellous! Rather isolated (which we considered a bonus!) it got our holiday off to a wonderful beginning - we spent our first few days completely relaxing in utter peace and quiet on a breathtaking beach. It took all our energy to leave! Thank you again for your assistance in helping us to have such a wonderful holiday. We certainly hope to return one day!
Stayed at Keekorok Lodge and Fumba Beach Just wanted to send you a thank you note for setting up our trip! We had an amazing time, without a single glitch. I have been so impressed that I have passed on your details to other people whom are interested in Africa. I know that Matt and I are already talking about our next trip and I will be sure to contact you again Also, Natasha from FumBa Beach Lodge remembered you being there and she was happy that you had recommended the place to us.........by the way WE LOVED FUMBA BEACH! Thanks again, we are very grateful for your expertise. Kind Regards, Lori Kelley
