Travelled on the Thorn Tree Safari with a beach stay at the Voyager Beach Hotel. We have recently returned from our safari and just wanted to say a big big thank you for suggesting the Thorn Tree Safari and beach holiday. Being a little apprehensive about going on a safari, but it was something my husband and 10 year old son longingly wanted to do. I just wantd to say it was the best holiday we have been on. I could not fault anything and it was down to your personal knowledge that put us on to a wonderful journey, the best ever. Thank you once again.

Travelled on the Samburu Safari with a stay at the Pinewood Beach Resort. We recently booked our Kenya holiday through your website and just wanted to say a big thank you for a wonderful experience from start to finish. From the initial enquiry, the number of changes/enquiries we made regarding beach hotels and dates etc, to the booking. All our questions were answered promptly and with knowledge and professionalism by Gemma Byard . We had been in touch with a number of tour operators and the contrast in responses was vast. We will definitely be using you again
