Hi Rob and team, Just to say thank you so much for organising such a fantastic holiday for us. Every part of it was exciting and memorable, (sometimes a little too exciting!) and the variety was perfect. Both Impala camp and Kicheche Mara were fantastic. The setting of Kicheche Mara, especially, was stunning. Our guide at Impala, Gerard, was particularly great. He was brilliant with the kids and was a real inspiration to a budding zoologist like James. Similarly, Rosie and especially Simon at Sosian, were also fantastic with James and Imo. Simon made there stay a real ‘adventure’. They both felt very at home there! Giraffe Manor, as expected, was a completely memorable experience for everyone, and a real treat. Zanzibar provided a perfect bit of relaxation (not to mention a bit of education for us all) and the staff gave James a very special 12th birthday. Emakoko laid on 8 Rhino (2 extra in addition to the 6 that Jen had jokingly requested on entering the park!) plus a first class supper. Once again thanks very much for your hard work, it was very much appreciated.

Mary, just a line to say thank you for all the arrangements and advice for the trip, everything worked perfectly. Kicheche Bush Camp was excellent, the tents and other facilities were to a high standard and all the staff went out of their way to make sure that we wanted for nothing.

Dear Mary, thanks to you and the team at Safari Consultants for all of your care and attention – I really appreciate it. Although we were staying at the same camp (and in my case the same tent!) the trip was a complete change from last year. The very different make up of the group, the change of manager at the camp, the long grass as a result of the rains in June, and the consequent lateness of the migration all made for a totally different, but equally enjoyable, experience. The highlight of the trip for me was when a cheetah jumped on to the roof of the jeep, literally inches from me – what an experience. I was standing up at the time and yes, I did keep shooting!! The one thing which did not change was the superb service provided by everyone in Africa, including our drivers in Nairobi, our guides in the Mara, all the camp staff, and most importantly, the team of chefs. I look forward to using your services again in the not too distant future.

Well what can we say but what a truly wonderful trip. We did not want to come home. Everything was fantastic. Simon and Olivia were the perfect hosts, even looking after the people who were ill, like their own family. The guides and staff at the camp were fantastic as well. And your organisation of the trip was very good. I don’t think there is a mark higher than 10 out of 10, but there should be. Can’t wait to go back and we will return. Thank you so much.

Andy and Marie enjoyed a horse-riding safari in Kenya
The holiday Jane arranged for us was spot on. I don’t know whether to thank her or curse her for doing such a good job. Curse because now we’re keen to buckle down, save save save, and get back out there for another holiday. All the accommodation was superb and meals etc just right. The horse riding was very good, and an excellent way to see the animals… it ticked all our boxes.

Michael and Susan travelled to Kenya’s Masai Mara and Great Rift Valley
We would just like to thank Safari Consultants for what we now consider to be the best holiday that we have ever had in Africa. Our Kenya trip this year was our 42nd trip to an African country. Over the past 32 years we have seen 18 leopards. This time we broke our record of seeing six leopards in one week and on the last day we saw three adult leopards together – something our guides said was unique. We are extremely grateful to Safari Consultants for this exceptional holiday and will certainly be planning our next holiday with you over the next three months.

David and Anne travelled to Kenya
Fantastic is a word that barely describes the time we had. In fact, and we both agree, there isn’t a word in the English language that comes close to adequately describing our trip. Many thanks, Jane, for a job very well done.

Michele, this is the third holiday to Africa you have organised for us and they have all been great. We value the service and advice you give. We look forward to planning our next trip with you in the future.

Henry and Minna travelled to Kenya
Hi Rob, we got back from Kenya last weekend and wanted to say thank you for finding for Henry and myself such a perfect last minute holiday that exceeded all our expectations and was below our budget. I certainly couldn’t have arranged it myself and my best decision was having the sense to call you. Overall, it was an exceptional holiday.

Peter, Yannette, Oliver and William enjoyed Christmas in Kenya
Mary, many thanks for your e-mail and apologies at the delay in replying. We had a wonderful time! Sosian was my personal highlight of the trip. Everything was perfect. Christmas eve under the stars with Annabelle and Steve and their family, a Taittinger soaked x-mas lunch, then camel rides on Christmas day. What more could we ask for? The Mara was of course great but felt strangely busy after Sosian and quite wet! As with our previous trips with you I cannot say thank you enough for your organisation, personal service, and attention to detail.
