Masai Safari and Gazi Retreat Our holiday to Kenya you arranged was absolutely fabulous from Nairobi,to our last day relaxing at Gazi. Richard celebrated his birthday with Champagne and cake at the Serena Hotel,Lake Nakuru and Masai Mara lodges. The weather was just right for safari not too hot, a thunderstorm developed on return from a late afternoon game drive which we watched whilst swimming in the rain over looking the Masai Mara. The number and variety of animals and birds was over whelming only missing a leopard by seconds but did see quite a few wildebeests and zebra crossing the river and a cheetah with six cubs. Gazi was a delight, relaxing, quiet, the of warmest pools, food served to our perfection and time to suit us . All the staff were so obliging and always smiling and became friends very quickly. Thank you Leanne for all of your assistance.

Travelled on the Masai with Southern Palms Just wanted to say how much the four of us enjoyed our safari and beach holiday. It proved far better than our expectations in many ways. We saw many animals at close quarters, including lions and cheetahs. Only the leopard evaded us! We even saw the start of the wildebeest migration, much earlier than usual! The camps were great especially the substituted Ashnil, which was tented and magical. The hotair balloon was wonderful - expensive but worth every penny as from it we viewed thousands upon thousands of wildebeests making their way in single file from group to massive group. What a spectacle! Not so obvious from the ground. The Southern Palms Beach Resort, a very good hotel to choose, was very welcome after a week of early starts and bumpy rides. The staff were wonderful and we were able to completely relax, in spite of a little heavy rain. Certainly we were right to go All Inclusive there. It was the trip of a lifetime for the four of us and one we shall look back on with great pleasure for many years. Thank you so much for your very useful advice and for organising the trip for us Sorry I haven't written this before but we are moving house in 6 days time so we've been rather busy since our return on the 6th! Have a good summer yourself
