ON SAFARI

Connie and Kelli travelled to Amboseli, Lewa and the Masai Mara in Kenya
Mary, we returned home last evening and had an absolutely wonderful experience. Everything was so well planned and organized. We found each location very different, but enjoyed not only the variety, but also the absolutely perfect services at each place. All three staff’s were so attentive and helpful. I had a little 24 something in Lewa and they took such good care of me. Kate was exceptional. Our guides were so good and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for an unforgettable experience, we have already suggested your agency to several people. The only negative was British Airways – the food was the worst I have ever had travelling!

Peter, Ailsa and Lauren travelled to the Masai Mara in Kenya
Hi Michele, in response to your letter of 30 August, we had an amazing safari. It exceeded our expectations. Among many wonderful sites we saw a cheetah catch a gazelle and bring it to her two cubs. Also a lioness brought down a wildebeest, which then escaped [see photos].

Peter travelled to the Masai Mara in Kenya
Good morning Michele, I am now back after a great time. Your organisation worked perfectly with no complications except on the return leg I had 4 hours to kill in N. The camp was fine. Emma was great and really looked after me. My driver David was superb writing things down when I did not understand. We saw lions every day plus cheetah and I saw a river crossing (after about 6 hrs sitting). It really is amazing. Thanks for your help making my trip so easy.

Isabel travelled to the Masai Mara in Kenya
Hi Michele, Just wanted to send a quick note to thank you for my fabulous safari experience last week. I saw everything except a rhino – even the leopard that they hadn’t seen for 3 months. Very lucky and amazing. The camp was just the right choice for me. I loved the way that Emma runs it, and that all the staff are Masai. I think you know the guide that I had, David, who was just fantastic. Anyway, thanks again for such efficient and easy organization of my holiday.

Hi Michele, wedding day was fantastic thank you, leopard up a tree in the morning then two more in the afternoon!!!! Oh and yes we got married too! Seriously it was great, thanks for the work in the background which really made the trip special right from the start. Thank you for the card which we were given on the day…much appreciated. The Palacino upgraded us (thanks to you no doubt) to the biggest hotel room/suite we’ve ever seen………Darren and Emma at Kicheche were outstanding as you’d expect, and the camp were brilliant……….they couldn’t believe how “low maintenance” we were but did a superb job and went to great lengths to ensure everything was very special indeed. They picked a great location under a lone tree on a huge plain that was full of wildebeest…………Darren took loads of pics and Emma did a wonderful job on the video, Patrick and the rest of the troops were brilliant……..it could not have been better. For us it was just perfect, low key, bit of fun, very very personal and really memorable. Rwanda was very good indeed too…………..Primate Safaris did a good job and we were lucky with the sightings (Sibyinyo and Kwitando groups were most obliging!!!). H was dead chuffed that all the paperwork in Rwanda was headed up Mr and Mrs! Nice touch well done!!!!

Wiki and Andy travelled to Kenya
Hi Mary. The Kenya trip was so amazing! We had such a wonderful time and want to go back again next year! I love Lewa, the people are wonderful, Emma, Will and the staff are lovely people. They organised a surprise dinner for Andy’s 40th on our last night. I would like to thank you for your help to put together a wonderful trip for us. We really had a wonderful time. I will contact you again when we plan our next trip!

Heather and Jane travelled to the Laikipia and Masai Mara regions in Kenya
Dear Rob, I am writing to thank you for arranging our safari. We had a wonderful time, even though it rained every afternoon! The Kicheche camps exceeded our expectations – the service and food were excellent. Nothing was too much trouble. The game viewing was great, we even saw wild dogs, something we had never seen before, the guides were all full of knowledge with a desire to share their information. We had a wonderful time on our last morning watching Acacia (leopard) and her cub up a tree with only one other vehicle to start with and then on our own – a fantastic ending to a great holiday. It was over far too soon. Once again many thanks.

Hello, Rob. I realise I’ve probably given you enough feedback over the phone for you to close our file for a while but I’m indulging in ‘get-over-the-holiday’ therapy by putting our response in writing. It was unanimously agreed it was a superb holiday, perfectly balanced between serious safari and some fun, more relaxing time on the beach and at Sosian. It was hugely successful because it had been planned with expert detailed knowledge and a sensitive grasp of our particular requirements. All the lodges gave us a warm welcome and you’d obviously prepared them well. Possibly particularly because we were a family, it was all very good fun and we learnt a tremendous amount too. Mwagusi was a wonderful start; we’re so glad you suggested that. We did have one or two close encounters with elephants, but we survived and it makes an excellent story. Impala was perfect for the family and the proximity of the river added an extra dimension with fishing and river trips. Matemwe was perfect at that stage of the holiday, once the village had been negotiated! Giraffe Manor was expensive, again as you observed, but worth every penny for a unique experience. We all loved Sosian. Kicheche Mara provided a fitting finale. Everybody loved it particularly the setting and the views from the tents were the best of the whole holiday. Emakoko:thank you. Brillant suggestion and it worked well. A perfect holiday with ideal planning for three generations of one family. Safari Consultants attention to detail is impressive. Thanks again, it was gloriously successful and happy.

Dear Bill, well I must start by saying that it exceeded our highest hopes and expectations. Gaye and I have safaried in Kenya four times before and so had standards by which to judge the visit. The travel arrangements worked without a hitch. Serian was absolutely perfect for our family. Roisin and her team looked after us so well, food and drink excellent. The guides and drivers were very knowledgeable and had razor sharp eyes. And so, reluctantly leaving Serian, on to Ras Nungwi. Luxury and great comfort. Apart from the difficulty of ordering food for 16 people we were very well looked after. A very good hotel with superb location. We could not have enjoyed our holiday more and thank you so much for your highly efficient organisation.
