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 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.
