Awesome experience with life time memories
Had an amazing vacation both in Mombasa and at the Mara Sarova organised by Pamela and her team. The commucation was excellent, checking out that we were fine throughout. Mombasa was great as known "Mombasa raha". The Mara safari was superb and had a fab time with Mr Livingston, who enabled us see different animal species. We will definitely return and have my trip organised by Magical retreats.

Big 5 in 5 days! Experience of a lifetime!
Read the hype on the African big 5 before the trip but wasn't expecting to get to see all as these are wild animals free to roam in their own environment. Was absolutely over the moon that with a day spare we had got to see evey single one. And these were not just glimpses of a spec of an animal on the horizon these were close up encounters with each one. To be so close that you can hear them breathe and smell them really opens up the senses to appreciate how majestic these wild animals really are. I will be looking fondly back on the awesome photos for many years to come!
Really cannot recommend the trip highly enough. Everything went smoothly and happened as planned. Accommodation was out of this world. I would never have thought such luxury accommodation would be possible in such a remote area of wilderness.
The views were outstanding. The sort of views that bring inner peace if you just sit and stare. What an unbelievable part of the world.

This was the perfect ever honey moon any given couple will enjoy ( margical Retreats your the best)
Got marred on the 17th Oct 2015 and Magical Retreat ( Pamela) had the perfect honeymoon planed for my wife and I to enjoy. Waking up on the 18th Oct there we hard out tour guide/driver Mr. Livingstone Masagha waiting for us to start the trip to Masai Mara where he was so accommodative in everything and telling us how we will enjoy the trip. Pamela keep in mind that you do have the best person there with you if you do remember we did ask you about the road because of the condition of my wife so Mr. Masagha did everything we asked him even driving @ 10kph if it had to. Please pass my regards to him and tell him thank you so much for all he did for us we can never repay all his kindness first day in Mara and he made sure my wife did see all the BIG 5 that she has always dreamed of. Thank you so much and now I do promise that coming year 2016 definitely we will be bringing our son to enjoy Kenya also so keep us on your schedule.
Regards,
Rosalia and Charles.
Treated like a king and queen
Magical Retreats is the best safari outfit to use when in Kenya. You are assured of viewing all the big five and having the politest driver/translator ever.

Excellent holidays in Mara Serena.
I would highly recommend Magical retreats and adventures tours. We had an excellent time in Masai Mara in
Mara Serena lodge. The customer service of the tour operator was very professional. They even called us to ask if we like our stay in the lodge and reminded us to ask for the lunch boxes on the day of departure.

Great service
Pamela met us at the airport late at night to greet us. Everything was coordinated and ran smoothly. Our driver Sam was fantastic - very educated and personable. We had a very good experience and will certainly use Magical Retreats and Adventures Tours again in the future.

Enjoyed 1D-2N trip to Nakuru and Naivasha with family
The trip was very well managed. Safety and convinience was primary concern. Pamela gave personal attention to all our needs. Overall we enjoyed it.
I wish we had a better price point... may be it was high season period hence not in control.

Efficient and sincere local tour operator for all budgets
Our family of 3 with teenager son. Nairobi, Samburu, Aberdare , ol Pageta, Nakuru, Masai Mara in peak season. Private tour was arranged with a English speaking, friendly, non inteterfering English speaking driver/guide in a 4 wheel drive. Allaccommodations were very good except Lake Nakuru lodge(the management provided a dismal room with not even hot water). Later the manager apologised and tried to set things right but it was too late. Even the Flamingos were a distant sight.
Best accommodation was Sweetwater serena(lucurious) but food was mediocre. Best food was at Aberdare country club(chef Anuj) and it was a cool place to relax. Samburu had good game viewing. Masai Mara was a lavish accommodation with good game viewing. It was a 12 day safari. We were lucky to see Leopard on first and last day.
Fresh air and relaxed time in nature with wild animals at very close proximity in their natural habitat. Wildebeest migration too was witnessed at Masai Mara.
Will definitely recommend the tour operators.
Money transfer/ payments, whole tour , was smooth. Felt safe.
