The Kenya Royal Safari
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
Travelled on Thorn Tree African safari with a beach stay at Neptune Pwani Beach Resort Zanzibar Just a note to say a very big thank you for all the help you gave arranging our fabulous holiday. I can't tell you how good it was, from being picked up at the airport we were taken such good care of. Our driver Simon who we had for the whole Safari time could not have been nicer and we were lucky enough to see four of the big five amongst many other wonderful sights. We had a super boat trip on the way where Simon knew some people and saw African Fish eagles and hippos and went walking amongst zebra and various other animals. The transfer to the Holiday Inn was good and then we were in Zanzibar, amazing, the Hotel is absolutely beautiful, the staff incredibly friendly and helpful and the food could not have been better- there was something for our two vegetarians and our picky son at every meal. I would like to tell you that Scuba do did two great days diving for us and the boys both snorkelled on one of the days- lunch provided by them- it is a great day out. We also did Safariblue- day trip to a desert island for snorkelling and then an amazing fish bbq then fruit tasting, trip was on a dhow and we saw dolphins on the way back. I really recommend the Pwani Beach Hotel, our accomodation was really lovely and although initially they had allocated the kids a double and single bed, as soon as we said we would like three singles it was arranged. Once again many thanks for all your help, it was the most fantastic big family holiday for us and we have so many wonderful memories to keep from it. Many thanks Rachel
