ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL EXPERIENCE
5/5

We had such a wonderful experience traveling to Nairobi and the Maasai Mara, and it wouldn’t have happened without Pamela and her amazing team with Magical Retreats Adventures Tours!! She made the whole entire process so seamless with booking, planning even prior to our arrival. Once we arrived in Africa she greeted us and ensured all our questions and concerns were addressed! Our amazing tour guide, David, was phenomenal with our drive to the Mara (ask for him, he is wonderful) and also when we came back to Nairobi for a few days, Charles, was so kind and flexible with our needs and schedule! If ever traveling to Africa be sure to go through this wonderful company - we highly recommend and are excited to be back!

It was a fabulous experience as we visited four national parks and had a wonderful game viewing.
5/5

Magical Retreats and Adventures turned out to be an excellent service provider, taking care of our every need during the eight-day safari covering four national parks. The two guides we had during the tour were very friendly and knowledgeable and we enjoyed our travelling and safari with them. Pamela was always in touch with us and took pains to ensure that nothing was lacking. The accommodation and the food during the safari were excellent. We enjoyed the safari thoroughly and also witnessed the great migration at maasai mara. On the whole, it was a lifetime trip.

Efficient and sincere local tour operator for all budgets
4/5

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.

First time to Africa - amazing adventure
5/5

Travel solo to Amboselli, lake Navaisha and Maasai Mars and was greeted by Peter at NBO who provides the driving and guided tour of the safari and Pamela. Wow what an amazing experience. Peter was so knowledgable, kind and answered every questions. I was able to see 4 out of the big 5, lion prides, buffalos, big elephants, cheetahs ans lota of zebra and giraffe. Pamela was easy to communicate with and plan all the good accomodations for my stay. They really made my first time safari experience absolutely amazing!!! I am planning for a 2nd trip in the future with Magical Retreat

Enjoyed 1D-2N trip to Nakuru and Naivasha with family
4/5

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.

An amazing adventures unforgettable trip to kenya.
5/5

going to kenya was one of my dreams which went true last month .we join the Majical Retreated and adventure tour for 6 days with a private tour.it was very nice and organised by lovely Pamella. she is so nice and caring and helpful.
kenya trip is not a luxtury trip, roads are bumpy and cars are a bit old but this specific things make you feel that you are in a real safari trip.
