Good management and arrangement by magical retreats
Good hotels and stay arrangements.

Well coordinated & a comfortable experience
Pamela was the main POC at magical. From day one, she was kind and patient enough to understand our requirements and frame an itinerary that suited our needs ( both budget wise & interests). She was very proactive in er communications and never kept us hanging. She connected over a personal chat which really helped me to coordinate on a timely basis.
Once that perfect itinerary was sent over to us, Pam was very cooperative when it came to booking and payments. It never felt as if we were in different locations. She personally came to see us off which was very sweet of her. The whole team is great!
Our guide Peter was fantastic - highly recommend. He was knowledgeable, never crossed our privacy yet was so conversational that it was fun to learn so much from him about the culture, wildlife and Kenya in general. He personally picked us up from the airport and we drive to our first destination. I really liked how he kept his vehicle spick and span, drove so well & never broke any rules. he clearly knows the area very well. He was always on time and ready to go. He made us spot all the big fives and was so well versed with the Masai landscape. Wish and his family the best!
Overall, highly recommend anyone to reach out to Magical Retreats for their Kenyan Adventure.

Prompt, extremely courteous and customer-oriented, take great pains to put traveler at complete ease
Their services are the best I have seen anywhere. Not only are they very prompt and make themselves available on short notice, they plan the itinerary in such a way that you do not feel you have missed anything at all. All this at a very economical cost. The promoter, Pamela, takes special care to ensure her guests are well looked after. Besides, they go that extra mile to render services that are not within the scope of the contract and which they are under no obligation to deliver. We had some big trouble with our return tickets to Mumbai (India) from Nairobi. The tickets had not been booked by them, but Pamela still came OUT OF THE WAY to help us and made sure we (My wife and I) were checked in on an alternative flight the very same day. She took the pain to accompany me to the ticketing office and pleaded my case. Then she also networked another airline through one of her agent friends and made sure we took off for India on the 24th of August. Pamela isn't just a service provider... at least in our case she has been a very good friend and guide, who stood by us in some very difficult times. If i ever have to come back to Kenya, I won't be looking around for choices among travel consultants. Blindfold me and I will still find Pamela and her husband. God bless them both, and lots and lots of love and deepest respect to them from me and my wife.

Masai Mara jungle safari
We embarked on the journey of much acclaimed Masai Mara National Reserve from Uganda. On our request Magical Retreats & Adventures Tours arranged for a road trip from Kampala to Lake Nakuru and then to Masai Mara National Reserve. After a fantastic road trip which truly tell you about the country sides and the people we reached Nakuru city for the stay. The stay was comfortable and the next day we were ready for the game drive around the lake Nakuru after a good nights sleep. Within a couple of hours of game drive around lake Nakuru we had chance to gaze upon Antelopes, Baboons, Zebras, wild buffaloes, rhino, ostrich, hynas and lots of flamingos. With the feeling of amazement we started our journey from Nakuru to Masai Mara. With the wonderful sights of county side of Kenya, we reached Masai Mara in the evening to our camp site 'Mara Sidai'. Leaving our luggage to the camping tents, we rushed for the visit to village of Masai tribe. It was wonderful to to receive a heart worming welcome from the Masai people. It was nice to learn how to make a fire from the a stick of wood and to have a look into the warm Masai home. After a good rest we started for the game drive to Masai Mara Reserve and what an amazing day it was! We saw a variety of animals except the elusive leopard which we missed a couple of times, though we had a chance to see it's kill on tree. After a long game drive and chasing animals for a whole day we returned to our camp. Nice dinner was an icing and with wonderful starlight we went to sleep in our camping tent. Next day we started at 6.30 am for our game drive to catch the carnivorous animals and it was an amazing sight to see a lioness with her cubs moving to find a peaceful place to spent the day after nightlong vigil. It was amazing to see the animals as the sun just started to shine on the horizon. We bade good buy to Masai Mara and left for Lake Naivasha. It is a Hell's gate national park and it truly is for it's geothermal vents. It was a fantastic site to visit lake Naivasha and Hell's gate gorge. After a quick visit we left for the airport to return back home.
The whole experience was awesome and a little did we knew that we were taking wonderful memories of Africa until we reached our homes. I thank Magical retreats and adventure tours for a wonderful experience right from the stay, game drives to the food. It was just fantastic. It would be really nice to visit again to Kenya for it's amazing beauty of nature and wild animals. We thank Pamela for her advice and all the arrangements for the trip. Last but not the least, we thank Mr. Livingstone for an amazing road trip and game drives. He made sure that we have a chance to see as many as possible animals and above all to make our journey more comfortable. Truly an amazing experience!

Wonderful 4 days in Keya with Magical Retreats and Adventures Tours !
We (me and three of my friends) toured Kenya with Magical Retreats and Adventures in August 2016. Ours was a super packed schedule made possible in part by Pamela’s (Tour Consultant) intricate understanding of regional logistics and our navigator Livingstone’s on the road skills. We started from Kampala and crossed through the Malaba border to Kenya for 4 days of back to back safari starting from the beautiful Lake Nakuru National Park. On the second day we drove to the famed Maasai Mara National Reserve passing through the beautiful countryside. The next two days were immensely entertaining with whole day and early morning game drives, thanks to Livingstone’s detailed knowledge of the region as well as animal behaviour. The last day of our trip was spent driving through the picture perfect Hell’s Gate National Park and exploring the Ol Njorowa Gorge there and then driving through the scenic Great Rift Valley to reach Nairobi Airport. We had an amazing time in these 4 days thanks to Pamela and Livingstone’s efforts and cheerful hospitality. I would love to go back and explore more of Kenya with them!

Safari in Kenya
Magical Retreats really helped make this dream come true. Pamela helped me patiently and politely to organize all aspects of our trip even though it was very last minute. Our safari driver/ guide, Charles, was always on time, very polite and we managed to see almost all the animals in the Masai Mara. I highly recommend this agency.
