Dear Joe, just wanted to say a big thank you so much for all the hard work & effort you put into making our holiday so special. We had the most amazing time and every detail was taken care of…we felt like royalty. It was such a treat to be met & transported around & our entire itinerary was perfect. We particularly loved the Mara, it was absolutely the right camp for us and we know you hand picked out guide too! The champagne was the cherry on the icing on the cake. Thanks for delivering 10 days of heaven. Please pass on our thanks to the rest of the team too. Everyone we have been in contact with has been professional & so helpful.

Michael and Susan from Newton Abbot travelled to Kenya

Good Afternoon Mary, Mike and I arrived back from Kenya after what can only be described as a holiday of a lifetime. It was amazing. From start to finish it could not be faulted. We felt very privileged to be able to see all those animals in their natural environment and to be able to share that space. As for your organisation, it was the little things as well. The leather wallet and pen. Questions got answered promptly etc. etc. I could go on and on, but as I’ve said it was amazing. Thank you Mary

Thijs and Rachel from Kent were engaged in Kenya

Dear Mary, so Kenya…………………..WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to say a huge thank you for organising the most amazing holiday we have ever been on, it was so magical and everything was amazing and went to plan! We got up so close to the animals and we have the most amazing photos to remind us of this mesmerising holiday! All the staff were exceptional and made us feel part of the family from the start, it was so lovely to get to know them and the others in camp. I loved every moment from start to finish and everything seemed out of this world! I must say I didn’t sleep much but I knew that anyway, however I loved being in a tented camp and having the authenticity, it was superb! The engagement proposal stirred up a lot of excitement in the camp, and it blew me away. I felt very special and couldn’t believe the efforts made to make it so spectacular. I keep looking at my photos as they are so amazing and I can’t really believe we had the chance to experience this holiday of a life time. We were so lucky we got to see everything we wanted too. Big thanks again.

Bradford and Linda from Philadelphia travelled to Kenya

Hi Joe, we had a spectacular trip, beyond our wildest dreams. Took over 12,000 photos in 10 days. The Tamarind Tree Hotel was wonderful. Kicheche Mara Camp was perfect and we were treated like royalty. Thank you for making the special arrangements for our early arrival and the extra night at the Tamarind Tree Hotel. During our day in Nairobi we really enjoyed visiting Nairobi National Park and the Giraffe Center, using the Benroso driver, Jackson. We will certainly use your services again in the future if we have the opportunity to return to Africa.

Richard and Sharon from Lancashire travelled to Kenya

Hi Joe, Wow!!! What a trip to Kicheche we had. It was out of this world!! Whilst we did not see the infamous migration river crossing, we did get to see so many other things. The first day we saw a leopard up a tree – he was never to be seen again by anyone for the following 4 days. The cheetahs were on form and there’s lions galore!! We saw so many with fresh kills, unlike Botswana they were really active – none of this just lying down in the sun! When Bill said Kicheche camp was something special, I now know what he meant – the camp was excellent. The food every day was great and Carys and Tony were brilliant. The staff fantastic. There is absolutely nothing that could be improved about the place, perfect. I can’t praise them enough. Thank you again for organising an excellent trip.

Andrew and Jane from Essex travelled to Kenya

Dear Mary, thank you so much for planning and organising a wonderful trip. You hit the brief exactly. Lewa was amazing; we walked for about 8 hours each day and saw lots of Rhino and Grevy’s zebra. Kitonga gave us lots of lessons on poo and footprints. We were looked after like a king and queen. We had 13 camels and 10 camp staff looking after us. It was magical sleeping under the stars. One night we had two rhino come into the camp. Kicheche was wonderful, they couldn’t do enough for us. We were made to feel so welcome. Hot water bottles in the bed each night and waiting for us in the truck each morning. All the staff were wonderful hosts. Our guide Richard kept us entertained with all his animal knowledge and stories. He was always trying his best to get us to see all the animals. We saw Leopard, Cheetah, Lions and so much more. Watching the Hyenas swoop in and eat the remains of a lion kill was fascinating. I would love to do it all over again. Many thanks once again.

Maxine Tanya, Aux, Tanner, Callison & Williams from Canada travelled to Kenya and Tanzania

Rob, I just wanted to take few minutes to thank you once again for organizing such an amazing trip for our family. I had some reservations that it could be as good the second time but in fact it was just as great! We felt so well taken care of from the time we arrived in Nairobi until the time we left Dar es Salaam. Kicheche Bush, Fly Camping and Kicheche Valley were all just unbelievable. The customer experience is really top notch. I want to thank you for encouraging me to do the fly camping – it was truly a remarkable experience and I would definitely recommend it to others. We found that even though we had different hosts and different guides that the quality did not suffer – in fact sometimes the change was amazing! Kicheche does a great job with their camp hosts and their replacements and we all felt really well tended to. I really feel that the guides are so well informed that we learn so much each time we go out. It is fairly jarring to come off the all encompassing care / libations/ meals of safari and arrive at half board. I was unprepared for the constant signing of bills, with different servers at different locations for waters, coffee’s, drinks etc and trying to keep track of 6 people’s food and beverage intake and tipping. However I would like to say that the food quality and property at Breezes all really exceeded my expectations. It was by far the best “mass” buffet breakfast I have been to, and we do travel a fair bit. Thank you for arranging the deluxe rooms – the sea view in the morning was stunning. Additionally the management went out of their way to make sure we were happy – we had something broken by housekeeping and they arranged complimentary massages (lovely spa) and sailing for the kids. We also took advantage of their water sports centre and went snorkelling and the kids arranged scuba through the onsite dive shop. We are so fortunate to have had you planning these two very special trips for us and I am hoping we will be so lucky as to get a third time to organize something with you.

Hi Michele, I just wanted to say thanks for helping organise the most amazing and incredible holiday for us. So many things that I could tell you about from the Bush, to Valley to the Keweto, all incredible for so many reasons from the people, the accommodation, the animals, the facilities …………….Thank you so much. We will be going back.

Robin and Julie from Ayrshire travelled to Kenya

Hi Joe, now back to “normality” after an amazing holiday. Our safari was absolutely fantastic – all we had dreamed of and more! Both Kicheche camps were absolutely superb. The attention to detail was excellent. Small things that make all the difference. Our tents were extremely well equipped and very comfortable. The food – wow! – it was spectacular!! We really were treated to some top class cuisine. We saw and heard some amazing scenes; lions roaring at sundowners, elephants bathing in a mudpool, buffalo fighting – quite a spat!, several rhino sharing a small mudpool, elephants galore and a baby elephant less than a week old, wonderful graceful giraffe, cheetah taking down a Wildebeest and then having it stolen off them by the hyenas, and many, many more amazing encounters. When we got to Mara Camp we were quick taken aback by the number of Wildebeest around us – too many to try and explain in an email. We were lucky enough to see a crossing on the day we went to the reserve – well worth the longer day and very late lunch while we patiently waited to see if they were going to cross! We enjoyed our white rhino encounter and would recommend this. We will be following progress on the IVF treatment with even greater interest now. We arrived at the beach and I would say it probably took us a day or two to unwind after such a busy, but fabulous 6 days. We very much relaxed at the beach and didn’t do too many activities – this was always our plan. The service at Kinondo was very good. They certainly spoiled us. The weather could have been kinder at the beach, one day it pretty much rained all day, and a few showers / overcast during our stay. However this was a good opportunity for me to spend in their shop! Many thanks again for your help and assistance in putting together this itinerary for us.
