Travelled on the 7 night Masai Safari I am sure you won’t remember us but we booked a Masai Mara safari with you departing in August. I was clearing out my emails and came across yours. I just wanted to say we think our trip was one of the best we’ve ever taken. It was really well organized from start to finish, food was fab, accommodation was brilliant and the animals and birds we saw were spectacular. Thanks for convincing me to take the balloon trip – it was a once in a lifetime experience and worth every penny. That’s it thanks.
Travelled on the Masai with Southern Palms Just wanted to say how much the four of us enjoyed our safari and beach holiday. It proved far better than our expectations in many ways. We saw many animals at close quarters, including lions and cheetahs. Only the leopard evaded us! We even saw the start of the wildebeest migration, much earlier than usual! The camps were great especially the substituted Ashnil, which was tented and magical. The hotair balloon was wonderful - expensive but worth every penny as from it we viewed thousands upon thousands of wildebeests making their way in single file from group to massive group. What a spectacle! Not so obvious from the ground. The Southern Palms Beach Resort, a very good hotel to choose, was very welcome after a week of early starts and bumpy rides. The staff were wonderful and we were able to completely relax, in spite of a little heavy rain. Certainly we were right to go All Inclusive there. It was the trip of a lifetime for the four of us and one we shall look back on with great pleasure for many years. Thank you so much for your very useful advice and for organising the trip for us Sorry I haven't written this before but we are moving house in 6 days time so we've been rather busy since our return on the 6th! Have a good summer yourself
