The latest word on the street about Kenya holidays:

A once in a lifetime experience. The combination of the Mara, the Maasai people and the wildlife delivered the real Africa at its very best. Thank you for a unique and amazing holiday.

Eddie Griffiths Kenya

I was not prepared for what the Mara, the wildlife and the Masai people deliver in terms of the full and real safari experience. We had an amazing time and totally fell in love with Kenya.

Jo Boyd Kenya

We could not fault a thing about our trip. The Mara safari, the air balloon ride and Diani Beach were just perfect and exceeded all our expectations! It has certainly been a special time, all made the more memorable by the amazing staff we met along the way. We cannot thank you enough.

 

Angela Snudden Kenya Honeymoon

An absolutely amazing holiday. We were lucky to have some of the best wildlife experiences ever, including a cheetah kill and seeing her bring her cubs over to consume the kill – mesmerising. Then the migration and crossings were incredible to witness. And everyone welcomed the kids with open arms and treated them brilliantly despite their fussy eating! Thanks for the organisation Not sure how we can top the holiday in future.

The Richman Family Kenya

The trip was awesome…we loved the camp, the view was amazing and we found that every trip into the Masai Mara we saw something new (except for the infamous leopards!).

Matthew Todd Kenya

I cannot say enough good things about Saruni Samburu. The rooms are huge with breathtaking views. What separated Saruni from everywhere else was the staff and level of service. It was amazing to have members of the Samburu tribe as the staff. We learnt a lot about their way of life while in camp. The food is incredible, the guides were amazing.

Caroline Green Kenya

We had an amazing time and saw so many animals including the migration and two river crossings. It far exceeded our expectations and we would definitely recommend both the lodges/camps and you to our friends. Hopefully we can go back again one day!
